Washington to Paris. was achieved last
week. distance of $500 miles, and at
Honolulu, a 900 miles, the sender's voice
was recognized, and with this remarkable
achievement accomplished by the aid of
electricity. comes the confident pre- diction
that ere long the human voice can be
heard and recognized around the world.

is that of William Marconi. of wireless

paratus by means OF which it is possible
for person standing by solid partition,
such as wall to look through the parti-

Cash Prizes For Our Coed Nut

Hyattsville, Maryland.
October 25, 1915.

The most valuable land in the world is In
the Sahara Desert. 1t is made valuable by the
date trees that cover every spot where enough
water can be had to make them grow. This
great land value comes because man has there
utilized the productive power OF the tree,
natute's greatest engine of production. It is
really remarkable that we in the United
Stntes have used trees so little to do our work
for us.
