CONSTANTTNOPLE,M May Is, 1s97.-The
collective note OF the Ambassadors of the
powers on the subject of the Turkish de-
mands upon Greece has not yet been pre-

1t IS further understood that Germany de-
clares she will Withdraw altogether from

Germany's action is regarded as being
highly prejudicial to the prospect of a

Transvaal raid resumed business today in
the committee room off Westminster Hall,
the Chairman, Mr.. William L. Jackson
Conservative. Member for North Leeds
and Chairman of the Great Northern
Railway Company, read long letter from
Mr. Henry Laibouchere. After citing the
extracts from his speeches and articles
written by himself, quoted at the last ses-
SION OF the committee by DR.. Rutherford
Harris, director of the British Char
tered South Africa Company, who was
also the Secretary of that concern at
Cape Town, and referring ito the demand
made by DR.. Harris for the withdrawal of
the charges made by Mr. LaIbouchere or,
IN default, that Mr.. Labouchere be called
upon to prove the charges made, Mr..
Labouchere wrote that he would not
make specific charges unless the believed
them to be true and capable of proof
The information contained in them, the
letter continued, was given by gentle
upon which it was based ana which he,
Mr. Lahouchere, believed to be ample

should be published. Now, however, Mr.

Harris had been concerned in any such
selling.
In regard to the article in the s'Gaulois''

The KInatoscone.

The credit of the first advancing the
idea that resulted in the kinetoscope. the
vitascope and other scopes of the kind, is
said to belong to a Kansas man. In
1886 j. r. Bonheur lived in Kansas. He
is said to be dying of consumption in
Algona, Ia. When he lived in Kansas
he was an ardent student of optical
synthesis for scientic illusions, and he
and his brother were amusing their
friends with novel stereopticon ap-
paratus. says the Kansas City STAR
In 1885 he sent to a photographer in
Philadelphia the plan of a projecting
machine with which he proposed to re-
produce successive snap shots" of liv-
ing objects so connected that there would
be no extinction or eclipses between the
postures, the images appearing life-size
amid scenery and accessories upon the
stage.
Photogenic films were not considered in
his plans. He proposed to join glass
views of continuous action in the form
of chain or belt and move it through
the optical system of projecting in
strument.
The views were to be brought into
place in rotation by means of a winch
or crank, the effect of each displacement
effaced by quick revolving shutter.
He claimed this mechanism would pro
duce harmoniously continuity by cornbin-
ing each posture with it's predecessor
without apparent break, thus realizing
the construction of an entire scene or
play, showing images of human beings
instinct with vitality
The plan seemed either too visionary
or incomprehensible. At any rate it
was ignored by the eminent photogra-
pher Without loss of time the manu-
script found its way into the waste
