Sight Transmitted by wire.

Sight Transmitted by Wire.
Thomas A. Edison announced the
other day that he is at work on a new
invention by which sight as well as
sound may be transmitted by electric
wire. 1t seems, however, that a young
German named Korzel has anticipated
him. The Centralblatt fur Electro
technik gives an interesting account
of an exhibition recently made by this
gentleman, In which two of his in
struments in different cities were con-
nected with a telephone wire. The
features of the person standing at one
end of the wire were distinctly seen
In glass plate at the other end, and
the larger type III newspaper held
before the instrument in one city was
easily read in the other Everything
seen was greatly reduced in size, but
this was because the glass plates were
small, this phenomenon being govern
ed by the laws of optics and not those
of electricity.
The secret of the wonderful inven-
ton lies in the sensitiveness of selen-
ium TO the effects Of light When a
ray of light falls on a plate of selen-
ium the electric conductivity of
the metal changes. Mr.. Korzel uses a
plate covered with a composition
which he calls bromide of selenium
gelatine for collecting" the image of
the person using the telephone, which
is then transmitted by the same wire
that conducts the sound of his voice
and thrown, apparently without the
use of any further apparatus, on a
glass plate at the other end. In this
way the persons using the telephone
cannot only hear but see each other

The Chinese have barbarous way
of taking CLAIMS, which often grow to

pounds per clam, not Including the
shell, which sometimes weighs over
200 pounds. The Chinese fishermen
watch for these clams in clear shallow
water, as they paddle along shore in

one with shell open they ram sharp
pointed stake into the creatures body
and lift it into the boat.

A Jonesboro (Ge., } correspondent OF

On ono occasion when Uncle Rad
went on to Virginia with clothing and
home cooked rations for the boys, he
did not get there until late In the eve
ming and found the Tenth Georgia in
line Of battle, SO he concluded TO stay
all night with the regiment as he had
frequently done.
That night about midnight the
long roll" sounded, and tho alarm
was given that the Federals were adj
vancing by thousands; couriers and
aids were dashing hither and yon Or

ready 70 advance at moments no.

but soon took in the situation. He
called Justify for gun and cartridge
box; they were furnished him, but In
the intense excitement Of the moment
he found tho belt was too short to
reach around him and then he
thought that he could wear il over bis
shoulders like ali old fashioned coon
skin shot bag.
This he did, and il drew the box OF
cartridges close up to his armpits, SC
that he would have 20 mount stump
on tiptoe to get his hand TO it. AT last
he got himself rugged as a soldier, and
straightenipg himself to his full SIX
feet two, with sigh he said, "Now,

The boys say that i, was a false
alarm at least the Federals did not
come, and Uncle Rad aflrms to this
day that It was because they got wipd
somehow that he was In line with the

A Desperate Fight.

MOoREsrowN, Nj, Dec. 3l.-At dusk Sunday
Bertha, the twelve-year-old daughter of Chas.
K. Haines of Pemberton, was missing from her
home. Suspicion fell upon VIM. Sloan, noted
desperate, who lives in a cabin on the edge Of
the woods, as he had been seen to give the
child candy to induce her to visit him. A visit
was made to Sloan's place, but his wife said he
had gone down toward the shore. A trail lead
ing into the swamp was discovered, which =,
beirg followed for IL miles, they came 90 a de-
serted hotel. There was light inside from q
fire that Sloan had built and beside it lay the
form of the girl on a blanket insensible. Hcf
clothing was wet and bedraggled with mire aud
her face was deadly pale. Sloan had an AK by
his side and was bending over the PROSTATE
form OF the girl when Constable Adams burst
open the door and made rush for him. He
seized the ak and aimed blow that would have
beheaded the constable if he had not
lodged it. Just then Haines struck Sloan
on the head with club, telling him 70
the floor. As he arose he made an effort tp
kill the girl By blow with the ak, but the
father diverted the blow. Finally he was
struck on the head with a club, which dazed
him, and he was tied hand and foot and taken
to Jail at Mount Holly. The girl was found to
be horribly maltreated. Sloan will probably
be lypched.

ELLIS ROBERTS DON'T WANT 1T.
He Says New York Farmers are OPP
posed to Reciprocity With Canada.

NEW York, Dec. 31.-The second days ses-
sion of the Senate committee on relations with
Canada was held at the Hoffman house this
morning. Ellis II. Roberts, the subtreasurer
and ex-editor of the Utica Herald, was the first
witness. He thought from the geographical
positions of the two countries they must of a
necessity have rival interests in the same
directions. In his opinion the interstate
questions were important factors. Yankee
ingenuity would be greatly lacking if We sur
render our markets of $1,000, 600 of people to
obtain in return those of 100000. A recipro-
CITY treaty with Canada would be entirely differ
ent from one with Mexico. The witness showed
from statistics for the year 1888 that in that year
Canada imported goods valued at $1,000 900
more from the United States than from Great
Britain. The nearness of Canada to this
country more than offset the fact that Canadian
goods entered Great Britain free. The feeling
in northern and central New York was very
much opposed to reciprocity. The farmers of
those sections would be greatly opposed to the
removal of certain duties upon animals, starch,
wheat, hay and hops. Witness was opposed to
reciprocity on the ground that the United
States would give everything, receiving nothing
in return.
