PICTURES BY ELECTRICITY.
n New Device, Invented by n Jewels
Ter, Successfully Tested in st. PAUL.

From the New York Tribune
st. Paul, Dec. Ga new device for the
transmission of pictures by telegraph has
been successfully tested in this city. The
inventor is Ernest A. Hummeu. a local
jeweler. The device is intricate, combin.
ing three or four different motive powers,
Transmitter and receiver would not occu.
Ply more space than an ordinary typewrit-
ing machine but for the projecting table
on which the drawing of the picture in the
one or the blank paper for the impression
IN the other is placed. Receiver and trans.
mltter alike have at one corner a diminu-
tive electric motor, smaller in size than
the case OF a small pair of opera glasses,
the purpose of which is to operate the
carriage which hauls the copying pencils
back and forth over the area to be copied
in the transmitter this carriage is equine
PED with a projecting arm, in whose vul-
canned rubber extremity is inserted
shafp platinum point. This point s
drawn by an automatic clockwork contri-
vance over the surface of the Mate each

the receiving paper in the complementary

mum point while on the shellac Insulation,
When the platinum point has passed over

AdJourns Sine Die.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE monetary
commission reached the conclusion of its
deliberations to-day and the chairman,
Senator Edmunds, declared the commits
sion adjourned without day. The closing
proceedings were interesting.
The work Of going over the report in
detail was prolonged late into the night
Of Thursday and was not quite completed
when the committee met this morning.
Such changes as were approved were fin
ally considered and referred to the execu-
tive committee and the secretaries for
incorporation in the final draft. The mo-
ton that the report be adopted as a whole
was made by c. Stuart Patterson of Phil
adelphla, who presided at the Indian
apoils convention. There was some cues
ton up to the last moment whether the
members would waive all their individual
preferences in regard to the minor details
Of the report and sign it unanimously
Practical unanimity was finally reached.
Que as much to the earnest appeals of
Senator Edmunds as to any other infiu-
ence
One member thought it necessary To
MAKE more emphatic his conclusion as to
one OF the features of the report and Mr.
Garnett who has returned TO his home
IN california, and was not able TO take
part in the final deliberations, differed
shShtly from his associates in regard to
the treatment of the existing silver coins
ana certificates. The signatures of all
the members will be attached TO the report
with the limited reservation of these two
III. NJ. Hanna took the floor and stated
that the services of the commissioners
would be properly recognized at the In
dianapohs convention of the business men
of the country, which had been called for
Jan. %.
The commission was then declared dis
solved by Senator Edmunds, and the men,
bers parted with expressions of regret
that their association had ended
The final publication of the report will
be delayed for some days, pending it's COM
pletion by the secretary. A bill carving
out fully the recommendations of the com
mission Is also in course of completion,
and will be ready for presentation in the
House when congress reassembles after
the holidays Preparations for an earnest
campaign will be begun by the executive
committee, in anticipation of the conven-
ton, which has been called for Jan. 25 at
which they hope for enthusiastic support.

ROYAL SIGNATURES ON GLASS.
Feature of "a Car in Which Dignita-
ries Trav1H Sn Europe.

ries TravCS sn Europe.
From the Boston Evening Transcript.
The royal Danish railway car in which
the Princess of Wales and her daughter
Travelled through Danish territory recent
ly, is of great historical interest and
unique in its way, 1t having carried in its
time half the royalty of Europe.
The car is of the Pullman type, and not
unlike Queen VictoTia's, but the hang
ings and upholstery are more snowy. How
ever its only interesting feature is the
historical window on which nearly ev
cry royal traveller has scratched his or
her name or nickname with a diamond
1t is nearly covered with these sigma
lures, but mostly with the pet name or
nickname Of exalted writer's. Thus we find
"Bertie" and "AliX," indicating the
Prince and Princess of Wales; ''Niclxv."
the present young Emperor Of all the Rus
sias; while "Sachen 1888" stands for his
father, and simply Eddy, 1887" for the
late Duke Of Clarence, and George" for
the Duke of York, with (above iO "Toria,"
for the duchess. Again, we encounter
"Alixa-Olga, 1885," meaning Princess
Louise and Victoria of Wales, such being
their family pet names. strange as thew
may sound: while another "Nicky" Is the
Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia, uncle of
the car, and another "Alix" the present
czarina; and ''Muriel' shows the pet
name of Princess Marie of Saxe-Coburg
and Gotha the Crown Princess of Rou-
mania.
OF the more sober and distinctive names
may be mentioned wilhelm" the Ger.
man emperor, who dislikes nicknames.
Christian" the King of Denmark; Dag
mar the dowager empress; "Victoria" OF
Hesse Louise" eldest daughter of the
Crown Prince Of Denmark, etc.

TRAGEDIES OF THE LONDON FOG.
Queer Things Happen when An At

London Gable in the Philadelphia Tele-

graph.
A wretched woman, tired of her hus-
bands brutality and the pangs of slow
starvation, jumped from London bridge a
night or so ago to end her misery i'm the
Thames. Only one person saw her go.
for the fog was densely thick, and the sui
eide vanished over the rail like a gray
specter. There was not even the sound OF
a splash.
The man who saw the figure go over the
rail met policeman a few yards further
on and told him, and the policeman blew
shrill and long on his whistle as he lean
ed out over the water, and soon there was
a responsive whistle from the thick of
the fog. 1t was from patrol boat. and
soon there was a blur of light where its
search light was turned on the river.
Try the buttress; there was no splash -
called down the policeman, and the bean,
of light found a form on a ledge of the
stonework twelve feet above the water
ana twenty feet below the sidewalk of the
bridge. The tide was rushing down around
the pier, and the little boat was pinned
against 1t BY Its rush. Two Of the river

Red LalSs Pine Sales Declared
Valid.

/ 2 s $40 !. ~ 80
A decision was received last
week by the Crookston land office
from Secretary Bliss, which goes
to show that all sales OF Red Lake
pine land will be held good and
admitted to patent.
On January LIST the sale of these
lands was suspended, and all
purchasers who had obtained
patents were notified to show
cause inside Of fifteen days why
their entries should not be can
called, and the land involved ap-
praised. Ofthose who responded
to this notification, the decisions
TO-DAY covers the entries of Chas.
IA. Fohrman and Maurice Quinn
and hold that their entries may
lie admitted to patent.
Secretary Bliss says: ssThe
land was therefore offered on the
estimate Of the govern as to It's
value, and as no fraud is shown
or charged against Fohrman,
there would seem to be no reason
for the further suspension of his
entry, especially us his good faith
is not impeached.
Ellis entry is accordingly re-
leased from the order Of suspen.
sion and may pass to patent. "
