Thus bringing not only every important point in the Dominion of Canada in touch by wireless telegraphy, but also Europe, through the station to be erected at Halifax, and Asia from stations on Vancouver Island.
All doubts of the practicability of wireless telegraphy may now be abandoned.
These new competitors must be somewhat disconcerting to managers and shareholders of the older systems of telegraphy, but they will no doubt prove equal to the problems confronting them and maintain their ascendency as heretofore.

Transcriber’s note:
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unpaired quotation marks were retained. On several lines, the first or last letter was not printed. Those have been remedied here.
Original text uses both “Sandford Fleming” and “Sanford Fleming”. The former is correct and is used throughout this eBook.
Original text uses both “Branley” and “Branly”; both retained here.
Original text contains what appear to be numerous spelling errors of words and names that only occur once. Since they could reflect accepted practices at the time the book was written, or the author’s way of spelling them, most of them have been retained in this eBook.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.
Some of the topics in the Table of Contents do not have corresponding headings in the main text. The early headings in the main text are not italicized, while the later headings are italicized. These anamolies have been retained in this eBook.
Page 16: “if the clocks started” was printed as “blocks”.
Page 37: “Heidleberg” was printed that way.
Page 50: “He had done all that he could and could do more” probably should be “do no more".
Page 64: “unity of management” was printed that way.
Page 118: “Mr. D. Ross Ross” was printed that way; in other sources, the last name is hyphenated as “Ross-Ross”.
Page 129: “reconcilation” was printed that way.
Page 139: “deciper” was printed that way.
Page 156: The intent of “J. M.---- gentleman” is unclear, so what appears to be the printed spacing has been retained here.
Pages 208 and 210: Text refers to both “Robert W. Lowber” and “Robt. W. Lowder”; both spellings retained here.
Page 224: The word shown here as “projectors” was printed with a letter missing after “pro”. The Transcriber completed the word as “projectors” because “projector” and “projectors” occur elsewhere in the original text.
Page 224: “the sounding the way” was printed that way.
Page 242: “big around” originally was printed as “big round” with extra space between the words. Transcriber added what appears to be the unprinted letter “a”.
Page 252: “John E. Rockfeller” was printed that way.
The Errata at the end of the book have been applied to the text of this eBook.
