RECENT LITERATURE.
Seeing by Electricity.


The mention OF electricity brought up
new possibilities for future discovery,
some Of them so amazing as TO almost
pass the bounds of credibllity. Profess
sor Bell said
"Morse taught tho world years ago to
write at distance by electricity; the
telephone enables us 20 talk at a dis
tance by electricity; and now scientists
are agreed that there is no theoretical
reason why the we'll known principles
Of light should not be applied In
be same way that tho principles Of
sound have been applied in the tele-
phone, aud thus allow us TO see at a
distance by electricity. 10 Is some ten
years since the scientific papers Of the
world were greatly exercised over ie.
port that had filed at the Smithsonian
Institution sealed packet supposed to
contain a method OF doing this very thing:
that is, transmit the vision of persons
aud things from one point on The esrth
TO another. AS q matter of fact, there
was no truth in the report, but 10 re

REFUSED TO ABATE THE NUISANCE.

John Mulvena Disregards the Orders of
the Board of Health and is Fined for
So Doing.
The Board of Health, which is prose-
cutting all persons who refuse to abate
nuisances, had another case before the
municipal judge this morning
On May 8 the property Of John Mul-
vena, No. 8l6 Dupont street, was re-
ported as being in bad sanitary condi-
tion. A cesspool was overfowing and
the pavement In the yard was defective.
An order was made upon Mr.. Mulyena TO
abate the nuisance. He would not, and
was arraigned in the Municipal Court
last Monday for refusal He then prom
ised the court he would do as ordered
and the case was held MP until Saturday
morRing.
Mr.. Mulvens did not appear at the
court on Saturday and the case was con.
tlnued until this morning The defend
ant again failed to put in his appearance.
Executive Officer Groves testified that
the cesspool had been cleaned but that
the pavement remained IN the same con
dition. A fine Of $40 and costs was i'm
noged

ONE Of the worst features Of the tariff
humbug aud fraud was exposed by the
recent reduction in the price. of bicycles
The tariff was As per cent, hence it was
impossible TO sell the best bicycles, which
are Of English make, we believe, for less
than $3.50. Thus, having a closed home
market, the American manufacturers
have been able to maintain prices here
till very recently. when one maker whose
machines had sold for $3.50, reduced to
SS5. Thus the boys Of the country
were compelled to pay bonus Of $65 for
a machine of an American brand to sup
port Mr.. McKinleys theory that waste
makes wealth, and to assist the manu-
factursrs to acquire enormous fortunes
in u marvelously short time If our
boys we're asked to pay the local agents
$sj additional on each machine in order
TO keep "our money at home" rather
than import the machine from Philadel-
| phia at the net price, u would be equally
Just, and have an equal effect in making
this state richer by paying higher prines
I Tor The property we bought. But put
ting the case, as the intellectual tariff
advocates put it, we would charge the
manufactures SsJ for the privilege Of
selling his machines in this market OF
course the manufacturer would be too
innocent or too charitable to add that
tox 20 the selling price. so that, in the
i end. the Wilmington BOYS would have to
