Free Sellers. 1t was poor thing aud

The friends of temperance were sur J

the damaging statements concerning
the workings of prohibition i'll the state
of Maine, where, if anywhere, we have
supposed il to be successful. The VIII
ter of the various articles proved to be
Baptist minister recently arrived
from New York state. The sum and
substance of his articles, written for
various papers over various signatures,
yas that the law in Maine was a fail

amazed. The Baptist pastors OF Port
land replied with no very mild denial.
The advocate came to the front with
facts and statistics, Police courts,
nrison records and rum shop facts
were overhauled. The result of the
discussion has been to show that the
Maine Law, instead of being failure
in that state, is a grand success.
While rum is sold-and in some parts
ofthe state quite freely-in the state as
whole the traffic has become disrepu-

Prom the American Queen. New York;
1t is certainly a fact that, BY re-
cent invention, pictures of all kinds
can now be sent by telegraph. Col
ors can not be transmitted, but all
pictures WHICH result from combina>
tions of light and shade, such as pho
tographs, steel engravings, wood-cut
prints, India ink sketches, pen sketch
es and crayon pictures, are repro
duced in five minutes at distance of
100 miles with astonishing accuracy.
Checks have been SO faithfully copied
by this process that the copy has been
honored at the bank without ques>
ton. New York newspapers have
been reproduced in Philadelphia en-
tire-the image being sent by tele-
graph, and every faintest dot and
blemish brought out on paper. We
should be glad to tell the readers of
the Queen exactly how this is done,
but it is by a chemical process so
complicated as to defy explanation
in ordinary terms. Nature (the
recognized authority in science in
England comes as near as possible,
perhaps, when it says: I'm the
transmitter the image was focused
on a revolving cylinder, to which a
selenium cell is attached. At the
other end of the wire a platinum
point presses against the surface of
sensitive paper prepared by passing
it through strong solution of equal
parts of iodide of potassium and water.
The arrangement is such that the
selenium cell, by intercepting the cur
rent, causes a white spot to appear
on the receiver corresponding in shape
and size to the picture focused on
the transmitting cylinder. The ex>
periments are as yet crude, but full
of promise" This is not Ineligible
to the average reader, because the
facts of the case cannot
be expressed in popular phra-
seology. Bu: the important fact
is that pictures are sent; that photo
graphs are admirably reproduced at
distance and that, if the promise
of the invention is fulfilled, a New
York paper will soon be reprinted in
Chicago on the very day, and perhaps
the very hour, of issue So much that
is incredible has been made fact
during the last half century, that he
must be a bold man who ventures to
place a boundary to the possible
achievements of scientific ingenuity
in this wonderful age.
