toe terrible slaughter.
The London Times of Jan 81 makes the
declaration following: "Attcmpts to cs-
tablish a ready communication between the
beleagucred inhabitants in Paris and their
relatives and friends beyond the German
lines have given rise to many contriyances
which are not unlikely to make new era in
The history both OF aeronatics and photo
graphy. Among them may be mentioned
The ingenious device by which the matter of
two whole pages of the Times has been
transmitted from London to Paris This has
been accomplished by photography Those
pages of the paper which contained commu-
nlcations to relatives in Paris were photo
graphed with great care by the London
Stereoscopic and Photographic Company on
pieces of tin and almost transparent paper,
about an inch and a half IN length by an inch
in width. On these impressions there could
be seen by the naked eye, only two legible
words. The Times And six narrow brown
bands representing the six columns of print
ed matter forming page of the newspaper
Under the microscope, however, the brown
spaces become legible, and every line of the
newspaper was found to have been distinctly
copied and with the greatest clearness
The photographs were sent to Bordeaux
for Transmission. thence by carrier pigeon to
Paris. When received they were magnitied,
by the aid of the magic lantern, to large
size and thrown upon a screen. A staff of
clerks Immediately transcribed the messages
and sent them off to the places indicated by
The advertisers.
