orally used throughout the state Of

Waste products of the lumber mills

smokeless.

Of the bricks are now being planned

is being worked out to reduce the

the tiger Is practically equal to that

The Lost Token.

The car stopped and three passen-

the traffic to the comparative safety

he dropped the rose to the street. He
had already paid his fare and the car
had covered half block before he
realized his loss.
An expression, not only Of regret.

pressed the button frantically and at

SPEECH BEATS ITSELF
TO SAN FRANCISCO

Words spoken in a public hall in
Schenectady reached a radio listener
in San Francisco, CAL, 1850 miles
away, before they were heard by a
listener $50 feet from the speaker.
That statement looks bit fantastic,
but it is mathematically true. The
apparent absurdity becomes reason
able when it is realized that the speed
of sound is 1,126 feet per second at a
temperature of 68 degrees Fahren-
heit, and the speed of electrical vibra-
tions or radio waves is 10000 miles
per second.
The listener in the back of the hall
in Schenectady, $50 feet from the
speaker, heard the words in 0.1332
second. A microphone connected to
the radio-transmitting equipment of
WGY, the General Electric Company
station, was two feet in front of the
speaker and picked up the words in
0.O02 second.
Time required to transform sound
waves into electrical energy, 0.0O2
second.
Time required for electrical vibra-
tions or waves to pass from Schenec-
tady to San Francisco, 0.0137 second.
Time required at receiving end to
convert electrical vibrations into sound
vibrations, 0.001 second.
Total elapsed time from the speaker
in Schenectady to the radio listener in

San Francisco man heard words
0.1145 second sooner.
The period of time elapsing between
the spoken word and it's reception via

trated as follows: 0.0187 second is
