Beautifully Carved Image Of Woman
EOuud Near Cedaryillc Ohio.

Beautifully Carved Image Of Woman
Found Near CedarviIie. Ohio.
Parkersburg. w. Va, Jan. 2S.-In an
old Indian mound near Cedarville, Ohio.
was found stone image of a woman In
a sitting posture. 1t Is smoothly and
beautifully carved. well proportioned
and shows the female features clearly
and regularly.
Professor Stahl. to whose famous col
lection the image has been added,
thinks the find dates back many CEN
turies, probably to the times OF the
Egyptian shepherd kings and long
prior to the mound builders. Professor
Stahl has one of the most valuable col
lections of antique statues and carv-
ings in America.

EDISON TELEGRAPHs SKETCHES
A Process Recently Conceived by
the Great Electrician.
From the New York Journal.

From the New York Journal.
A device for the purpose of sending pic
lures by wire has been made by Thomas
A. Edison and Patrick Kenny. The pro-
cess has its limitations, but is an impor-
tant step in the desired direction.
The entire process is automatic. A
piece of soft paper is placed before the
artist On this he makes his outline
sketch, taking care to see that his pencil
is a hard one and that the lines be drawn
are slightly indented in the paper. No ar
fist is required at the receiving instru-
ment; not even an operator is necessary
at the sending instrument. The artist can
take his own sketch and, wrapping it
around little cylinder, at the top Of the
machine, may press button with feel
ing of absolute certainty that the very in
slant this cylinder begins to revolve his
sketch is being reproduced with absolutely
faithful detail on a similar piece of paper
at the other end of the line.
While the cylinder on which the origi-
nal sketch is drawn slowly revolves a tiny
finger made Of metal and infinitely deli
cate touches the paper on it. Whenever
one of the indented lines of the sketch
reaches this finger the latter sinks into It
for the instant, and in that instant makes
an electrical connection which travels
with lightning speed to the other end of
the wire, where a similar finger is also
touching a turning cylinder Of paper.
This receiving paper has been previously
treated with a certain sensitive solution
When the electric spark started by the
impress of the sending finger in the
line of the artists sketch reaches
the PORT of the receiving finger
the electricity instantly changes the color
of the paper at that particular point
A dot Of exactly the same width as the
indented line on the original sketch ap-
pears on the receiving paper under this
magic influence.
After the first indented line has passed
the smooth paper slowly whirls until the
next line reaches the delicate point of
the finger. When that occurs, down goes
the finger again, flash goes the spark
again. quickly appears another dot on the
sensitive paper a thousand miles away.
After the needle has travelled once around
the original sketch there will be evident
on the receiving paper, at the lines other
end, a series OF tiny dots occupying posi-
tons exactly similar to the points which
the sending finger has touched in the
indented lines of the original sketch As
the cylinder turns the second time, the
needle drops an inhnitesimal distance.
Again the sending finger passes over the
indented lines at points barely below
those which 1t touched on its first Jour
ney. Again the dots appear on the re-
ceiving paper-this time below the first
dots, enough to make them seem longer,
hut near enough so that the two marks
are practically Incorporated. And so on
in its horizontal course the finger trav-
els, dropping fraction of an inch with
each circuit

THE GALLOWS' Ado

Carrollton, Mo-, April 2S.-In a little
pocket case containing his children's
hair, the of1cers today, while search
ing Bill Taylor. the murderer, found a
quantity Of strychnine. and in his
mouth a tiny steel saw. The notorious
Meeks family murderer, who had just
previous to the discovery been brought
from Kansas City under a heavy guard,
had made a last bold attempt to cheat
the gallows. When his last ray of hope
dwindled before his eyes the criminal
sank into deep silence and his face be-
trayed the utter helplessness he felt.
When interviewed this afternoonTay-
lor said: II have nothing to say. 1t is
no use; the people will not believe me-"
Taylor was brought here early this
morning. manacled and surrounded by
nearly. a dozen heavily armed officers.
Although he raj not expected until to-
morrow, q large crowd met him al the
depot. Taylor will be watched con-
stantly by a heavy guard until his exc
cution Thursday and 1t is said that the
local militia will be kept In readiness
to Q that the law is carried out.
There is a fatalistic impression in
Carrollton that Taylor will not hang.
One Of the officers said II he does
hang the multitude will break down the
stockade surrounding the scaffold.
There is DON for 500, whereas 5000
will fight to ~ the hanging.
