SEEING BY RADIO
A FASCINATING PROBLEM NEAR TO COMMERCIAL SOLUTION (United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright) NEW YORK, 11th January. “Some day soon you will be able to sit at home and watch the actual historical conflagrations of the ages ago flash by on a screen. The burning of Rome while Nero fiddled, and the sacking of Troy—these spectacles are bobbing about somewhere in space, for light " waves never die. It is merely a mat--ter of recapturing them, and this event may be just around the corner. “Afasci--nating problem, which will enable the - world to see through radio broadcasting, is near to commercial solution,” said Mr 0. Hanson, of the National Broadcasting Company. “Waves generated by the human voice.” he said, “have their limitations, but when they • are transferred to radio waves there is no limit. The voice hits the walls of - - buildings, rebounds and dies or rather, dissolves into heat. For that • reason the theory that we may get a record of . human voices of the past is unsound; but light-rays are different and seeing ~ by radio is inevitable.”
