An Interesting Game OF RalI at spokane
Saturday.


The Mcfarland ball team crossed
bats with the Garfield schools boys
on the GonEaga grounds at Spokane
last Saturday. The day was damp
and cold, aud our boys did not get
time to warm up before the game was
called and as a result three scores
we're run in by the Garfield team the
FIRST inning. The rest OF the game
showed the boys to be evenly matched
and some excellent playing was done
on both sides The finaI score stood
10 in favor of the Garfield team.
A very eommendable feature Of the
game was the gentlemanly conduct
of the boys of both teams Not a
haunting word was used nor a marmur
heard against any decision made by
the umpire. After the game the
boys we're treated to an excellent

PICTURES BY WIRE.
German Professor Sends a Sketch 100
Miles.

FROM the Manchester Chronicle
Professor Korn of Munich claims n ba,a
solved the problem of telegraphing photo
graphs.
The experiments which the professor has
already carried out prove that it is nos
s1ble to transmit a photograph or sketch.
SIX or seven inches square, in a period
varying from ten to twenty minutes
These experiments were carried out on
the telegraph line from Munich to Nurenl-
berg, distance of about one hundred
miles, but Professor Korn declares that
precisely the same results would be OBJ
tanned II the photographs were transmitted
by a telegraph line or submarine cable
5000 miles in length.
The photograph which has to be trans
united Is placed on a transparent glass
cylinder, which revolves slowly, and at the
same time moves from right to left A ray
OF light Is thrown on this cylinder by
means of an electric lamp and lens and
when the ray of light reaches the interior
OF the cylinder it is brighter OF darker ac-
cording to the coloring of that particular
part of the photograph through which it
passes.
Inside the cylinder is some selenium,
Which transmits the electrical current tn
proportion to the intensity of light brought
to lear on it, The selenium transmits the
current more rapidly in bright light, and
less rapidly as the light decreases. The
selenium within the cylinder is connected
with the wire over which the photograph
is to be transmitted.
The receiving station consists of an cleo
trical Nernst lamp placed inside a glass
cylinder, covered with sensitized paper. The
Nernst lamp burns more or less brightly,
according to the varying current trans
mitted by the selenium at the other end.
1t thus reproduces the exact shade of the
original photograph. provided that the CYL
inders at each end Of the wire revolve at
exactly the same speed.

The Highest Railway Bridge.
From Harper's Weekly.


A notable engineering work is now being
executed in France, and involves the con-
struction of viaduct crossing the Siouls
valley near Vauriat. This structure. known
as the Fades Viaduct, when completed will
be the highest railway bridge in the world,
the level of the rails being 494 feet inches
above the bed OF the stream: There are two
granite masonry tower piers which are
founded on solid rock and rise to a height
of BOB feet. These piers standing alone have
the appearance of large cflmneys, but their
function is to support the three steel spans,
which have the unusual lengths of Az feet
8 inches for the center span and STS feet
for each of the ianking spans. The latter
connect with masonry approach spans
formed by circular arches. This bridge DIFF
fers from other structures in the use of
masonry instead of steel for the center tow
ers and the use OF lattice girder deck spans
instead of the arch construction of eithar
masonry or steel. a favorite method of
crossing such a valley.
