inventor now claims that he has re-
moved the principal obstacles to IT'S
practical working. This operation
must not be COMPOUNDED with that Of
telautography, in which pictures, pho
tographs, handW riting, etc., are trans
mitted by electro-chemical or other
means. The problem which DIR. Ernst
Huber says he has sOl"ed is: Is it
possible to transmit over one wire the
images Of objects in motion, or even at
rest, from q transmitting station to a
receiving station, q which receiving
station the exact reproduction of the
said objects. in motion or at rest, may
be seen by an observer? Is it possible
to so transmit these objects that any
changes in their position with be SIM
ultaneously transmitted and seen at
the receiving end? DR.. Huber replies
to these questions in the affirmative,
and in the system which he has made
public these results are claimed to
be reached by supplenenting many Of
the features of previous experime nta-
ton In the vibrations of CroOkes tube
are repeated spontaneously by the
transmitting apparatus, and an image
of the same size as the original pro-
lection appears on a fu0rescing screen
on which the observer gazes through
magnifying lens. It is said that
in this way landscapes, horse races
and the like may be seen at distances
limited only by the laws Of nature.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1896-10-31

in an interesting book some instances
Of the escapes Of fatalists. "What will
be will be. If shall be shot, shall
be shot," is the theory they believe in,
and on more than one occasion, by
their consumate daring and GOODNESS,
they have escaped with their lives
when their comrades have fallen on
all sides.
One of the most interesting escapes Of
this description occurred in the Indian
mutiny, when the Sepoy rebels were
assaulting the Bank of Delhi. Three
men were seated on the steps of the
bank when the natives opened heavy
fire from the houses opposite. A warn
ing voice called to- the men on the
steps to come at once under shelter.
The fatalist waved his hand in reply.
At the same moment the two men sit
;; ting on either side of him were riddled
with bullets, one receiving seven in his
body, while he himself was untouched.
On another occasion a live shell drop
ped into siege battery and buried It.
self in the ground. Instantly every
man fell on his face except the fatalist.
"Lie down, you fool" they called out
to him.
Quietly taking cigar from his
mouth, he answered.: II am not going
to put myself out for" At that mo-
ment the shell exploded, carrying away
a piece from his trousers. He calmly
pointed to his legs to finish his sent
ence.
/ Another instance Of fatalism men-
toned was that of the man who quiet
~ stood in the middle of the street to
light his pipe when it was being swept
from end to end by hail of bullets.

only Two In Captivity in America
and but One in England.
There is only one giraffe in England,
Two in America, and on the Continent
of Europe the dearth is as remark
able. In the wild beast market there
are none to be had, and collectors are
compelled to send agents into the in
terror Of South Africa to secure them.
The giraffe is fast disappearing be-
fore the encrOachments Of man, and
long before the great central plateau
of Africa, which is it's habitat, has
been opened up to civilization it will,
like the great aux, have been COM
pletely wiped out.
Formerly giraffes were exported
from North Africa by way of the Red
Sea, but since the introduction of fire.
arms, and their general use by the Be-
douins and Soudanese in hunting, these

the south of the Soudan. So the only
gateway that is practicable to bring
them out Of Africa now lies through
