PHOTOS SENT BY WIRE.
The New Use to Which Telegraph Lines
Can BE Put Described.

The New Use to Which Telegraph Lines
Can Be Put Described.
Electricity.
The transmission OF pictures by electricity
is one of the latest applications of the subtle
but extremely useful fluid, and the principle
of this new discovery is somewhat similar to
that on which the telephone is based, use
being made of varying degrees of light, in
stead of sound, as in the telephone. In order
to send picture over a wire it is first photo
graphed on what photographers call strip
pling film, composed of gelatne and bichro-
mate of potash. After the picture is trans.
ferred to this film the film is washed with
lukewarm water, by which all but the lines of
the picture are removed, leaving the photo
graph in relief
The point OF tracing apparatus, when
drawn across this film from side to side, rises
and falls as 1t strikes each line of the picture
This wave-like motion of the tracer is made use
OF to produce similar motion in another tracing
apparatus at the other end of the line by means
of complicated electrical mechanism, and
each depression and elevation in the picture is
reproduced IN waXen cylinder on the re.
ceiving instrument. To accomplish this it is
necessary to go entirely over the picture that
is being transmitted, tracing lines across the
surface. A single line conveys no idea of the
picture, but as they follow each other they
gradually outline the object.

REAL ESTATE & BUILDING.
THE HOLIDAYS BRING SLIGHT
INCREASE IN ACTIVITY.
Some Important Sales the Past Week
Building Operations Also Lit
tie More Brisk--BuildIng Notes and
Real Estate Transfers.

Instead of the past week showing unusual
dullness, as was to have been expected at this
season Of the year, there was unlooke ed for
activity in the market. A number of rather
important transactions were recorded the
principal one noted being the sale OF square
735 to Charles P. Crandell by ex-senator John
B. Henderson for $94,26769 This activity
emphasized the opinion expressed heretofore
by THE HERALD that the real estate market,
although exhibiting the dullness naturally ex-
perienced during December was as firm as at
any other period of the year, and only needed
time to give 1t that forward movement which
1t will surely experience when the yearly ac-
counts are settled and investors resume their
operations. Nevertheless, it was not expected
that such movement would show itself so
soon. Week before last transactions repre-
senting small amounts were noticeable. The
past week, however, although the number
of transfers may not have been numerically as
large, they represented amounts far exceed
ing those reported during the week previous.
As the market depends more upon heavy
transactions than upon numerous small ones,
the significance of the matter is one for gratifi-
cation.
In building also operations showed increase
hardly to have been expected. The increase
in the total value of the permits issued last
week over that of the preceding week was
nearly $4,000, while twentyeght more build
ings were authorized to be constructed. True,
the average cost per building was about $500
lower the past week, but the increase of the
permits and the large sum total evidenced a
greater activity.
Fifteen building permits were issued by the
inspector of buildings during the week end
ing December 25 for The erection of forty-two
buildings, at total cost of $50, ,450, an average
cost per building of $1,9S7 These buildings
were located as follows Northwest, seven at
total cost of S1S,S50; northeast, nine at
total cost of SOS, 900; southeast, eighteen at a
total cost of S1S,S0O; county, eight at total
cost or $1S,000.
