Abstract
AMONG the facts to be explained in a satisfactory theory of the propagation of radio waves over the earth's surface are the curvature of the rays in transmission between stations far apart, the absorption during transmission, the peculiar phenomenon of fading, in which the magnitude of the received wave fluctuates more or less rapidly, the differences in transmission in different directions over the earth, and the extraordinary differences in the transmission of long and short waves.
