MIRACLE OF WIRELESS.
LONELINESS OVERCOME.
WORLD’S MOST WONDERFUL AGE.
In the nineteenth century, says a Sydney paper, Australia’s great disability was its loneliness. When our stout-hearted grandfathers came to Australia they cut themselves off from friends anfl relatives in other continents. They were exiled in the Antipodes. But last week citizens of Sydney spoke with American citizens over the Pacific and heard one another’s voices. Presently Sydney will speak to London, and those in Australia will hear, voices speaking in Europe. The last dread enemy, loneliness, is no more. We a,re living in an age more Interesting than any ithat the world Was known- Humanity is conquering the poles, sea, the; air, and it is annihilating space. But nothing is more wonderful —nothing would have> been more incredible even fifteen years ago—than that c.itizens ef America and of Australia would talk to each Cjther, each in his own country, and hear each other’s voice over thousands of leagues of sea and land. That miracle the wireless has performed.
