FULT0N'S POLITICAL FIGHT.
LIVINGSTON KICKS ON THE CON-
GREssIoNAL PRIMARY.

Charges That Snap Judgment Has
Been Taken in the Interest of Col.
FeIder-The Date Fixed for the Pri-
mary April Fl and the Congress-
man Claims He Cannot Leave
Washington 40 Look After His In
terests.
Atlanta, Ga, March 3O.-Col. L. F. Liv-
ingston, whose seat in Congress Is being
actively sought by three aspirants from
Fulton county is aggrieved because the
county executive committee mas called a
primary to settle the congressional race
on April 81.
He declares, in g. long communication,
printed this afternoon IN the Journal, that
snap judgment has been taken on him in
the interest of Col T. B. Fielder. one CT
the candidates from this county.
Congressman Livingston claims that the
executive committee was controlled by
Mr.. Felder's friends, and that they set an
early date, knowing that he would not
be able to get away from Washington TO
make campaign for reelection until the
Cuban trouble is settled.
Col. Livingston challenSes tne leSdhty
of the action of the Fulton committee, as
sorting that 1t is the province of the dis
trict committee to act first in calling the
district convention before the counties act.
He WILL however, run a ticket, he says,
and in his two column complaint against
the county committee, he endeavors to raj
ly his friends for the impending fight.
Col Livingston says he would rather be
defeated for reelection than 10 leave his
post in Washington during the present cri-
sis He is a member of the appropriations
committee, he says, and intimates that he
does not think Congress or that committee
could get along without him for even
little while in the present emergency.

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The Device by Which Actual Scenes
May by Made Visible to Persons
Hundreds of Miles Away.

From the New York Sun.
One of the most interesting features of
the Paris exhibition of 1900 should be Herr
Szczepanik's apparatus, by means of
which actual scenes are made visible to
people hundreds of miles away from the
spot. The objects are to be reproduced in
all the varieties of color light and shade,
and every phase of movement is to be
represented. Such Is the promise of the
inventor and the fact that he has re-
ceived nearly 81 .25O,O0O for the exhibition
and French rights of his patent would
seem to prove that this poor Galician
school master has really solved the prob
lem on which 50 many people have been
working.
Herr Szczepanik calls his apparatus the
Kaleidoscope" because 1t renders OBJ
jects visible in their natural colors at
distance by means of electricity. The man.
ner in which this is effected is somewhat
difficult of clear explanation. From the
inventors representative in London the
following particulars have been gathered
as to the method of transmission:
Roughly speaking. the picture is broken
up into number of points. Each point is
reflected in mirrors, and the reflected ray
of light is converted into an electric cur
rent which can be transmitted any dis
lance. Al the receiving end the current is
again transformed into the corresponding
ray of light. This ray of light is reflected
in mirrors and the reflection thrown upon
screen Now IL follows that If all the
points of a picture are taken in very rapid
succession the resultant reflection on the
screen will be the entire picture.
In greater detail, ii seems that there are
two mirrors at the receiving end and two
more at the transmitting end Each mirror
has its surface coated with some opaque
substance. Across this opaque covering a
straight-lined scratch is made with needle
or knife, so that only narrow linear strip
of rejecting surface is exposed. The pur-
| pose of this is that only a single line
OF the object under observation may be
exposed 10 the reflective influence of the
| mirror. The mirror (the first one in which
the object is reflected is fixed on a pivot
| by means of which with the aid of an
| electro-magneD il is continually oscillat-
! ing. so that the lines of the object under
! observation are continually changing.
| Each of these single line pictures is
broken up into points by means of the Sec

trainmen narrowly escaped death
The wreck occurred one mile south of
Adairsvile, and to-day the Western and
Atlantic passenger trains were run via

Hickman. Under the rules, they were sup
Adairsville at 1872 o'clock this morning,
but the north bound train in charge of
Engineer Elliott and Conductor Hickman
was running late, and in the effort to get
TO AdairsvlIe, the two trains ran into
each other with terrible force and fatal
results.
Engineer Elliott was found dead under
the trucks of his engine. His son, Charles
Elliott, Jr., was on the engine with his
father as fireman, but he escaped unhurt
He aided in the work of locating and re-
moving the dead body of his father.
Engineer D. w. McDade of the south
bound freight was slightly bruised.
The other trainmen are said TO have es-
capped injury except a bad shaking up.
The wreck is one of the most disastrous
that has occurred on the Western and At

demolished and eleven freight cars were
wrecked, piling up to a great hight on the
