PARIS, Aug - . 21.— Ernest Arch
deacon, the moat prorrUnent patron
of aviation in France, declares some
thing will soon be discovered infinite
ly better than aeroplanes, which are
not likely ever to exceed 125 miles
per hour.
Archdeacon states that with 27
kilogrammes of radium a projectile
weighing a ton could shot to the
moop in 49 hours, provided all the
radium’s energy could be released
within that time.
With 400 kilogrammes of radium
aboard, a visit could be made to
Venus and back to earth again. He
is convinced the inhabitants of all
the planets will make each others’
acquaintance within a few centuries
and that interplanetary congresses
will be held.
LONDON. Aug. 21.—Robert Donald,
editor of The London Daily Chron
icle, in his opening address as presi
dent of the Institute of 4 Journalists
at York, prophesied that aeroplanes
and airships will eventually deliver
newspapers, which will appear al
most hourly.
News will be collected by wireless
telephones and reporters will carry
portable phones.
At the offices wireless messages
will be delivered to the editors printed
in column form.
At amusement places all the day’s
news will be given by cinematograph
and gramaphone, while for those too
lazy to read the news will be delivered
like gas and water, and householders
will listen to announcements while
resting in their gardens or else have
a daily newspaper printed in column
form turned out by a printing ma
chine in the house.
