the circuit, so that selective tel
egraphy will not only be possible, but
easy. That is to say, receiving cir
cult to respond to a given frequency.
TO preserve secrecy it is, of course,
necessary to prevent other stations
from tuning their receiving circuits
to the selected frequency. This can
be done by varying the frequency of
transmission-that is to say, each sys-
tenn may have frequency code. When
message is to be sent out the trans
hitting station will signal this fact
to the proper receiving station, and
will indicate the particular frequency
which will be used. By the throw of
switch the receiving station can be
tuned to that frequency and will re-
ceive the message. In the short time
which elapses during the sending of
the message-or, rather, during which
this one frequency will be used-it will
be practically impossible for any other
receiving station at which the code is
not known to tune it's circuits to the,
to them, unknown frequency.
Furthermore, since the impulses
established by the Cooper Hewitt in
terrupter are regular and continuous,
their action will be far more effective
on a properly tuned receiving circuit
than the irregular discontinuous i'm
pulses which are being used today
1t would seem, therefore, that the use
Of this interrupter will increase greatly

The arrangement of the transmit

reflected through the correcting lenses
through the plate; from there it is
thrown by the collecting lens on the
selenium cell.
AT the receiving station the selen-
siunl cell influences an arc light
switched according to the Simon
RUNNER system, from which the ray
falls on the small mirror, that in turn
reflects 1T on the Opaque glass pane
To produce the vibrations of the two
mirrors the principle of current inn
pulses, according to PoIlak- Virag, and
that Of the changing of resistance APP
piled by Gruhn, are followed. The for
mer causes the swinging of the mir
rors in the horizontal direction, while
by the latter the gradual rotation
around the axis is effected. To this
end an interrupter is placed in one cir
cult of the corresponding diaphragms,
and a changer of resistance in the
other These two contrivances are put
on common axis and turned by
small electric motor. The interrupter
causes, by one rotation, current i'm
pulses of a number, equal to that of
the lines into which the picture is to
be dissected. The second continuance
changes the resistance in as many de-
grees as there are lines. After a full
rotation the resistance equals the ray

point. 1t is easily possible to produce
by the interrupter the number of i'm
pulses required in a second /. e., the
number of the light lines into which
the picture is to be dissected, multi
piled by the number of reproductions
wanted of the whole picture in a sec

/ changes-from zero to maximum-as
the number of reproductions in a Sec

picture 100 millimeters in height is to
be reconstructed of strips one miIIi-
meter in width. If the picture is to

quire 1000 Interruptions in a second.

A device for suppressing sound and
smoke has been provided for the ordi-
nary rifle by a French soldier. 1t con-
s1sts essentially of a steel tube about
thirty inches long with several parti-
lions having orifices slightly larger
than the bore of the gun, and this tube
Is attached In front of the muZzle by
a bayonet clasp whenever its use is
desired. On firing the gun. the gases
are retarded by each partition in turn
finally escaping without sound or
smoke. With a knife at the end the
auxiliary tube can be made to serve as
a bayonet.

To put smoke to profitable use has
been the aim of Tobiansky. the Belgian
engineer. In his process the smoke is
forced by fan into a filtering tower
charged with coke, or other porous
absorbent, sprinkled with naphtha or al
cohOl, and the SCOT is retained by the
coke, while the filtered gases, mixed
with vapor from the naphtha or alco-
hol, are collected in a gasometer to
be fed to Welsbach burners, stoves or
gas engines. This gaseous mixture,
which has been named pyrogas, burns
with a bright flame and an entire alb

even makes it profitable to burn fuel

it is computed that plants of small
cost will enable cities to derive a ma
terial income from the conversion of
their garbage into purified smoke for
light and power. Large factories and
small establishments in Belgium are
making experiments both in saving and
in producing smoke for the combusti-
bic gas.
