Bannen well-known Hull radiologist, indicated to Hull Rotarians that people who said that broadcasting bored them to death might be nearer truth than they supposed. “I always feel.” he said, "there must be a certain amount of effect from ordinary wireless transmission both on animals and on human beings. Sooner or later it will manifest itself on all of ns. Already wireless has undoubted effect upon animals in heat production. “A friend of mine, whose aerial once fell down, found field mice lying beside it.

They were using these rays essentially for heat production in the body. In certain diseases if a temperature were artificially produced it would aid recovery.
