WISE MEN DECEIVED.

Clever Rogues Dupe Them With a Bogus
Invention.
LONDON, July 13.-The English scientific
world is very much exercised over an in
vention purporting to be remarkable in
strument solving the problem of visual te-
legraphy. 1t is the joint invention of Prof.
Hughes, F. r. S., and w. H. Preece, F. R.
s. On the occasion of the postoffice jubilee
reception at South Kensington museum
the other night the instrument was exhib-
tied before mum Der of scientists and
ne wspaper men, all of whom are most cor
dial in its praise. The inventors
said they had discovered machine
by which the sender of a message from a
distant station could, with the assistance of
the telephone. not only speak with the re.
ceiver at the other end of the wire but APP
pear in reflection before him. And in eff
feet this is jhst what happened last even
ing:
The facts, however, are startling. Elec-
triclty has nothing to do with the matter.
The picture of the telephoning was not re-
produced by means of a telegraph wire; but
a series of mirrors had been cunningly ar
ranged on the princiole of the old optical
illusion business, which reproduce the Wis
age of person standing behind a bricl
wall for instance. By means of similar
mirrors the sender of last night appeared
before the receiver. and newspaper men
and scientists were fooled. That such al
imposition should have been played upon
the scientific world and the British public
by the authorities of the South Kensingtor
museum Is disgrace to British science
and when the deception is discovered Their.
will probably be a row.
The inventors knowing that Edison anc
other American electricians have for man,
years been expanding all their energies ane
much money in the direction of solving tn,
problem of visual telegraphy had announced
that they had solved it. The Londo1
journals and the scientists eagerly swal
lowed the bait. When the truth ia re-
yealed about the invention Hughes ant
Preece will doubtless be severely handled
especially as increased interest is now takeI
IN Edison's treatment of the subject. Las
evening the machine was exhibited to tn,
Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the mys
terry being we'll maintained. To show how
completely the audience were taken in al
the unscientific and most OF the scientif,
departed declaring that the electro-phono
scope was the most marvellous discovery O
the age.
