A WONDERFUL INVENTION.
A Teiectroscope which VIII BE an In

'oaessihk ~ tut GNpDstttDn.
One Of the most interesting features
of the Paris exhibition of 1900 should
be Herr Szczepanik's apparatus, says
a London correspondent, by means of
which actual scenes are made visible
to people hundreds of miles away from
the spot. The objects are to be repro
duced in all their varieties of color
light n shade, and every phase Of
movement is to be represented. Such
is the promise of the m and
the fact that he has received nearly a
million n a quarter of dollars tor
the exhibition and French rights of his
patent would seem to prove that this
poor Galiclan schoolmaster has ealiy
solved the problem on which SO many
people have been working.
Herr S~zczepanik calls his apparatus
the 'telectroscope" because IL renders
objects visible in their natural colors
at a distance by means of electricity.
The manner in which this Is effected
is somewhat difficult of clear explana-
ton. From the inventors representa-
tive in London the following particu-
lars ave been gathered as to the meth
cd of transmission:
Roughly speaking. the picture Is
broken up into a numbe of points.
Each point is reflected in mirrors. and
the re.-ected ray of light Is converted
INTO an electric current, which can Re

formed into the corresponding ray of

very rapid succession the resultant re-
Election on the screen will be the en-

There are two mirrors at the re-
ceiving end and at the transmitting
end. Each mirror has it's surface
coated with some Opaque substance.

fiected) is fixed on a pivot. by means
of which with h aid of an electro
magnet) IL is continually oscillating. so
hat the lines of the object under OBJ
~servation are continually changing.
Each of these single line pictures is
broken up into points by means Of the
second oscillating mirror. which is
placed at right angles TO the first. so
that its rejecting line is at right angles
TO the rejecting line of the first. As
two lines intersect each other in a
point, IL follows that only a single
point of the first mirror will appear
in the second mirror. n therefore.
only the reflected ray which CORES

the second mirror. The two mirrors
oscillate spontaneously.

HOW TO KEEP GOLD FISH.
A Few Necessary Rules for Preserving
the Pretty Water Pets.

From the Cleveland Leader.
1t is remarkable how seldom people
are able to keep goldfish for more thar
a month or two at most. and all be-
cause they neglect a few first princi-
pies. Goldfish can be kept almost any
length Of time. accidents apart, IL kept
~scrupulously clean. The air in the water
Is soon exhausted. n they should
have fresh water every day. If posi-
BILE. oftener in summer. though once
will do IL the globe is fairly large.
One can usually tell when the fish are
needing water. They stand up on their
tails with their mouths to the surface
or the water. and move slowly in that
position, generally making a bubbling
sound. When you put the fresh water
into the globe let it dash in from a
height, so that plenty Of air gets i'm.
too, n let your fish have a handful of
shells or small stones. They look pref
ty and the fish appreciate being able to
poke about them for for bits OF food.
and 1t gives them something to do and
a little interest in life. People frequent
ly make the mistake of thinking that
the fish get enough food out of the
water. This is not so. They need feed
ing when in captivity. Packets OF
fishes food, chiefly consisting of dried
ants ggs can be procured from n
seed or naturalists' shop. As they re-
quire only a very small quantity once
a day their board Is not expensive.
They Will live on vermicelli, bu this
clouds the water. and consequently in
jures the appearance Of the globe.
1t is said the gold fish should never
be handled. This is no lob true, IL
they are kept for breeding purposes.
Otherwise. ii does them no harm-if
due care is exercised-and you may
pick them up n by one in your hand
and pop them into the globe of fresh
water.
Never buy a fish unless the fms are
erect and fully spread. Directly the
FISH is out of health the fins close more
and more. until IL dies. when they are
quite shut up against the body.

From the philadelphia Record.
Sweet smelling ~drunkards can be found
nowadays on the little island of Pemba.
near Zanzibar. The principal settlement
has suddenly been changed from a dirty.
disreputabie village into a town fragrant
with perfume. And that radical change
was brought about solely by the prohibit
ton of alcohol. Since the natives-ne-
groes and a mixed population-had be-
come victims OF alcohol TO such an extent
that there were more drunken people TO
be seen than sober ones. the British resi-
dent prohibited the importation OF alco-
holic beverages to stop the evil. But then
the native merchants began to import
eau de cologne" in quantities, of course
not the real article, but liquor of the
worst kind. perfumed and packed in CO.
bottles. And now the drunkards Of
Pemba get their wontsd MI of alcohol in
this disguise and the worse the drinker
the better he smells.
