Serving the Eye the Telephone Doe.
the Ear
A person standing or sitting before 9
simple piece of apparatus that has beer
in common use for about 90 years can
Ieasily hear music or articulate speech
and recognize the voice of friend hun
dreds of miles away. The mechanism
employed is electrical, and the two
points between which the transmission
occurs are connected simply by a wire.
1t is now announced that the sense of
vision can be served in a similarly COM
| p1ete and satisfactory manner under
| like conditions.
| A Vienna dispatch to the London
Chronicle says, for instance: "A won
| derful invention has just been made in
| Austria, consisting Of an apparatus call
ed 'fernseher' (far seer. The apparatus
| renders visible an object with all its
colors situated around the corner, or at
a great distance, by means of the trans
formation of light waves into electric
waves In other words, the machine
conducts optic appearances along cleo
trio wires and renders them visible
in another place. IL is said TO be the so.
luton of a problem ON which Edison
has been engaged for "a years. The
owners of the patent which has been
taken ont are boasting that it will be
the great attraction of the Paris exhibit
tion. The inventor is a poor Polish viii
lage schoolmaster named Szczepanik.
The apparatus is in the shape of a tele-
phone box.
One will quickly perceive the differ
ence between a device of this kind and
q telescope. The latter instrument per-
mits one TO see only in a straight line
and not around corner. The curvature
of the earth, TO say nothing of other
EN- disbursements. interferes with long
distance work in purely terrestrial OBJ
servation. Besides. the greater the dis
lance the greater must be the magnify
ing power of the instrument. 1t may be
inferred from the analogy afforded by
the telephone that the ''fernseher"
works equally we'll at distance of one
mile or hundred, and in spite of un-
limited crookedness along the route.
The dust, haze, fog and other impuri-
ties in the atmosphere are also serious
obstacles to vision in horizontal direc-
ton, no matter how excellent the op-
teal means hitherto employed. The
medium through which electricity |
flows, on the other hand, transmits so
perfectly that the obsouration due to |
distance is practically nil.-New York |

Light Eyed People.

A correspondent states that in many
parts of South America the Indians are
suspicious and very dangerous. Some of
them will trade with strangers. but can
never be relied on, while others will be
friendly and have fairly good reputa-
tion in the matter of dealing with for
eigners. But ON one point all the tribes
agree-they do not trust a man with
eyes like cat. In many places in South
America a man with light eyes is never
safe, and the Indians are apt TO kill
such a man on sight. If no present op-
portunity should offer itself of crafty
ing this prejudice, they will often hang
around for days for the chance of dis
posing of the intruder. 1t is related that
not long ago French trader was sitting
quietly among some Goajira Indians
discussing business, when party of the
same tribe who had been filling up
with mescal came along. and the cry
was raised: "A man with eyes like q
catl Let us kill him now" There were
a scramble and daring rescue. for the
traders companions reached his side
only just in time.

BRAIN BUILDING.


Substitution OF Healthy For Vicious and
Abnormal Ideas.
The new science Of brain building
promises to have an important influence
on the future trend of medical develop
ment. 1t takes into account and empha-
sizes and utilities the effect Of the mind
on the body and involves the permanent
improvement in character by the con-
tinuous substitution Of healthy for vi
cious and abnormal ideas. Every physi-
clan has observed how quickly happi-
ness and good news promote the diges-
tion and the sleep and improve the gen.
eral appearance of a patient and how
rapidly grief and bad prospects blanch
the face and lower every vital function.
The intimate connection between emo
ton and motaboIism, or the processes
OF physical assimilation and decomposi-
ton, is obvious The sexual pervert.
the kleptomaniac, the child of vicious
temper and the person without natural
affection are all now olassed as types in
which the abnormal conditions can be
either cured or very greatly modified by
judicious course of brain building.
One phase of this principle is seen in
the case Of woman who had been suf-
fering for nine years from dyspepsia,
consisting not so much of gastric inabil-
ity as Of improper assimilation. She
was given a systematic system of train
ing in pleasurable odors and perfumes
and tastes and a carefully methodized
succession of remem FRANCES of agreea-
BILE gustatory and other hunger feelings
and thirst feelings, the training being
ordered at the Same hour each day.
This was continued for two months, at

Railroading Under Difficulties.

A Bulawayo paper records a new
method of pushing a train over heav-
lily flooded bridge. A correspondent
wyites that when he wished to go over
there was three or four feet of water
in the river and consequently the en-
gines could not cross, as the water
would have extinguished the fires. The
method adopted was to make train
equal in length to the width Of the
river. and then an engine was placed at
the rear. which hustled the train across
the river, so that it extended its full
width. Another engineer, more lit
orally speaking, brace of engines
was waiting on the far side, and these
were coupled to the train and dragged
it out. II was new way Of fording a
river by rail. The bridge at the Shashi
has been completely washed away, and
at one time the water was eight feet
over the old bridge. -Invention.
