PICTURES BY TELEGRAPH.
Remarkable Device Alleged to- Have
Been Successfully Tested.

St. Paul, Mimi, December Ga
new device for the transportation OF
pictures by telegraph has been success
fully tested in this city. The inven-
tor is Ernest A. Hummel, q local
jeweler. The device is intricate, COM
bining three or four different motive
powers. Both transmitter and receiver,
but +, r 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 would not occupy
mcre space than an ordinary type
writ ng machine. Each has at one corn
er diminutive electric motor,
smaller in size than the case OF a small
pair of opera glasses, the purpose OF
| which is 10 operate the carriage which
hauls the copying pencils back and
forth over the area to BE- copied.
In the ausmitter this carriage Is
equipped with a probe sting arm. in
the vulcanized rubber extre nifty OF
which is inserted sharp platln ! 10
point. This point ia drawn by an
automatic clock work contrivarce over
the surface of the plale, each time at
minut e distance from the line on which
it moved before, this adjustment being
accomplished by a screw and triple
the screw regulate the width betwee
the lines. After the machine is con-
nected with the electric circuit and
the Platinum point is ST in motion,
each time it encounters strip OF shell
lac the circuit is broken. This throws
down against the receiving paper in
the complimentary part of the
machine sharp needle point, which
etches into the surface q line cor
responding to the course taken by the
platinum point while on the shellac
insulation.
When the platinum point passed
over the shellsc and the circuit IL
again closed the Eee die point is lifted.
The carriage is propelled by the cleo
trio motor, the clockwcrk being nee
ess%ry to control it's velocity, and is &C
complished with the assistance, in sd-
dition to the ordinary looking system
of cogs, of q number of whirilng fans,

THE SWORD OF SALADIN.
Blacksmith Duffy Says He Knows the
Secret of Damascus Steel.

The Damascus blade Of Saladin may
yet be duplicated. 1t will be il the
claims of Jane II. Duffy, Machiasport
(Me.) blacksmith, are justified by the
practical results which be promises.
Mr.. Duffy asserts that he has dis
covered the long lost art OF producing
Damascus steel and also the ancient
method Of hardening copper and brass.
Ten years has the I'M achiasport
Wizard" as his neighbors call him,
spent patio ntly experimenting with
the metals, during which time he has
often severely to xed his financial re-
h our es. He declares, however. that
| for his sacrifices he has been more
than repaid by his success.
Mr.. Duffy was first led into making
experiments when he opened his smith
shop in Machiasport. He was born in
Bangor ffty-four years ago, and after
few days schooling learned the trade
of horseshoeing and blacksmithing.
When he moved to Machiasport the
canning industry had begun to grow,
the soldering copDers uee1 in the
factories were sent to MIN for repairs.
He noticed that the coppsrs wore away
rapidly and that when two-thirds of tn
business end of one was worn away it
had to be cast aside.

THIS COG EATS ICE.

Satisfies Il Quccr Appetite ut nm ALL
Might Restaurant.
One of the best known all-niCht res
taurants on upper Broadway always
has one or more dogs around, especially
between the hours of three and seven
in the morning, says the New York
Sun. Patrons at those hours are apt
to be kindly disposed to canine at
laches. and there is more or less frolick-
ing. Just now a plain brindle and
white pup about six months old at
tracts more notice than any Of its fell
lows in the restaurant kennel. 1t is
known as the "ice-cating dog"
Every morning when the ice wagons
roll up in front of the restaurant and
unload the days supply of huge cakes
of ice, that pup takes its place at the
Broadway door aud watches proceed
inCs with an eye to business. When a
cake of ice becomes Clipped the brindle
pup lights on the broken pieces and de-
YOURS them with as much relish as the
ordinary dog does raw meat or chicken
bones. 1t does not finish its meal un-
til the operation Of unloading ice has
been completed, and if Il piece is swept
into the roadway the ice-cuting dog
chases it and rctrieves it in spite of
cabs and cable cars.
Pat, the night manager of the res
taunnt, says that when the brindle
pup first displayed this appetite for ice
it took big chunk back in one corner
and hid it. after the fashion of dogs

Marietta cyclists nave made a move
in the right direction. Under the aus
pices of an energetic bicycle club, a
largely attended and enthusiastic
meeting was held Monday evening,
the result of which, as is told in our
news columns, is that an organized eff
fort will be made to build a permanent
bicycle path from Marietta to Parkers-
burg. The Marietta promoters are in
earnest and haye taken steps to have
a survey made and to get estimates of
the proba ble cost. Parkersburg wheel
men and wheelwomen and Belpre
riders will get as much benefit from
such an improvement as will Marietta
riders Such path will be in the ma
ture OF public improvement, though
made by private energy. Every body
can enjoy it. Why then, shouldn't our
wheelmen cooperate with the Mariet-
ia wheelmen and the Belpre wheelmen
and help carry this project through?
