What God Hath Wrought"

The other day, in New York. man
played a photograph in a room be.

The record used was that OF a song
ending in Jolly laugh.
Music and laughter were heard in
a room in Philadelphia, 100 miles
away; aboard the steamship North
Star, distant go miles at sea- and
also aboard the steamship Antilles, 55
miles out.
There are wires between New York
and Philadelphia, but this communi-
cation OF uncorked music, with its
finale of rollicking laughter. did not
pass over any wire. There are wires
from New York across the Atlantic.
