SEEING BY ELECTRICITY.

Professor Bell SAID
"Morse fought the world years ago
to write at a distance by electricity
the telephone enables US to talk at a
distance by electricity +; and now scien-
lists are agreed that there is no theOret-
ical reason why the well-knowD
principles Of light should not be applied
in the same way that the principles OF
sound have been applied In the tele-
phone. and thus allow US to see at a
distance by electricity. 1t Is some ten
years since the scientific papers Of the
world were greatly exercised over a re-
port that l had filled at the Smithsonian
Institution a sealed packet supposed to
contain a method of doing this very
thing ; that is, transmit the vi;.on of
persons and things from one point or
the earth to another. Asa matter OF
fact. there W; 8 no Truth "A the report,
but It resulted in stirring Up a dozen sci

with statements to the effect that they
too had discovered various methods Of
seeing by electricity. That shows what
I know to be the case, t,!at men are
working at this great problem in many
laboratories, and 1 firmly believe it will
be solved one day. .
'Ot course, while the principle OF

drecisely that applied in the telephone,
