Once again science has startled t he world that vision by radio has been tried and pronounced successful. The test was made by the Genurul Electric company’s laboratories at Schenectaday, New York. Doctor E. F. Alexanderson, consulting engineer of the Radio Corporation and the General Electric company, gave the demonstration before a group of exe cutives of -Carious companies and a few others invited witnesses. Three homes were selected to prove the efficiency of the invention, and in every home the result was the sumo. That is, actors were seen upon the stage going through a regular per formance and their voices could be plainly heard. In other words, tele vision broadcasting was pronounced a success' in every way. That is most remarkable, is it not? Two years ago the Tribune pre dicted, editorially, that it would not be very long before persons would be sitting in their homes and by the simple pressing of a button or the turning of a dial, could see and hear comedy, tragedy, grand opera, or any other entertainment that they desired. At that time the prognostication was received with a smile. But the dream has come true. At the same time, the Tribune pre dicted that within twenty years per sons would be Hying around in their individual airplanes that, like an umbrella, could be folded up when not in use, and placed in the corner of a business office. That also reads like a prediction to bring forth a smile. But there is no telling what the fu ture will bring forth. Nay, not even a day. We only know about that which lies before us today—and little we know about that. METHODIST NOTES. The revival meetings at the Metho dist church arc' progressing in fine shape.
