WIRELESS AND RAIN.
INFLUENCE NOT CREDITED. OPINION OF SCIENTISTS, -I LONDON, Feb. 13. " Preposterous " is how a'broadcasting official described a suggestion to suspend broadcasting for a month in order to see if it -was responsible for the extraordinarily wet weather. He pointed out that the energy expended by the broadcasting stations was negligible, and represented only one-half per cent, of tho total transmitted by all wireless services. The proposed experiment would, therefore, be fatuous, h 9 said, unless all stations closed down for the same period. Scientists generally do not support tho theory that wireless has any effect on the weather.
