The sending of a long-distance message is a spectacular thing.

The sending of a message across the garden in far-away Italy was a simple matterthe depressed key completed the electric circuit created by a strong battery through the induction coil and made a spark jump between the two brass knobs, which in turn started the ether vibrating at the rate of three or four hundred million times a minute from the tin box on top of a pole.
