WONDERS OF RADIO.
PAGE OF NEWSPAPER TRANSMITTED. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received April 4, 7.10 p.m.) NEW YORK, April 3. A message from Schenectady states that the General Electric Company announces that a complete page of a newspaper was transmitted from San Francisco here by radio, for the first time, three hours after the journal was printed, a distance of 2500 miles. The recording machine was developed by Charles Young, son of Owen D. Young. It can be attached to any radio receiver, much the same as a loud speaker. The engineers forecast that some day Radio may deliver a large part of business mail and bring the daily newspaper into the home, quite irrespective of distance. Television has made such rapid strides recently that the engineers expect that before this year is ended, radio listeners may also see a game proceeding, as they hear the players called off.
