✦ Synopsis

This paper develops Maxwell's mechanical conceptions of electromagnetism and applies them in a very simple and,direct way to the discussion of electromagnetic waves.

This fundamental discussion of electromagnetic waves is followed by a discussion of wave dls° tortion on telephone lines. The effect of line resistance and line leakage upon wave distortion is explained and a very elementary statement is given of the reduction of line losses (In pure wave Iransmission) by the Increase of line lnductance.--TH~ ~DITOR,]
