CIRCLES WORLD IN LESS THAN
SECOND

Paris-F'rench radio officials an
nounced that the Lafayette wireless
station at Bordeaux has established
world velocity record in sending a
message around the globe in one sew
enth OF second. 1t is estimated the
words travelled at a speed of about
$4,000 miles second, which rapidity
IS said to be the greatest known to
science
The Lafayette radio was built in
1918 by American engineers for com
munication between General Pershing
and Washington, but since the war it
has been acquired by the French. This
station is seven times stronger than
the famous Eiffel tower wireless sta
ton and when open to the public will
operate day and night with four shifts
of operators capable of sending $4,000
words every "a hours. 1t will only be
matter of one-fiftieth of a second to
get New York on the wireless and the
apparatus will be able to carry 5000
words an hour.

thinking the building was burning.
