Avenues of Communication.

Still a new means of communication has been devised. No longer is man to Jbe dependent-on the &lr for the rapid transmission of messages; for, a new invention-Mnodeled afloat a barge in San Diego hay, California—has made possible the sending of messages through air and water. And. appropriately enough, the test of proof came when the United States Navy department sent a message from Annapolis, Maryland, to the British Admiralty, telling, in this manner, of the arrival of the R-34 in America. Bold adventurer had conquered the air, indeed, but. not long before another group, less spectacular, harnessed the sea and land to their own particular requirements.
