SENDING PICTURES BY WIRE
New Process Discovered for Transmit
ting Drawings and Handwriting.

New Process Discovered for Transmit
ting Drawings and Handwriting.
During several decades number of
methods for reproducing simple pic
lures, drawings and handwriting cleo
trically at a distance have been pro-
posed and partly carried out, but none
Of them has led to result Of techni-
cal Importance. This seems not to be
the case with the improved system of
Professor Korn of Munich, whose sue
cess is due principally to the employ
ment of vacuum tube as an adjusta-
BILE source of light at the receiving sta
ton.
The essential arrangements are well
known from previous attempts. Two
cylinders, one at the sending and one
at the receiving station, run in syn
chronism. On the former Is the pic
ture to be transmitted, preferably on
a film, and on the latter is a sensi-
tive Photographic film. A fine ray Of
light, concentrated by lens from suit
ably arranged Nernst lamp, penetrates
the first film and strikes a selenium
cell inside Of the hollow glass cylinder
The selenium cell is connected in Sc
ries with an accumulation battery, the
line wire and current indicator at the
receiving station. Upon rotation of che
hollow cylinder the light ray describes
spiral line Of very small pitch on the
film, like the stylus Of gramophone
In proportion to the blackening Of the
film the light ray is weakened more or
less, the resistance of the selenium cell
raised accordingly, and the current in
the transmission line shows CORE
spending reciprocal changes.
The time required Tor reproducing a
photograph is at present half an hour.
The transmission line may, Of course,
be used at the same time for tele-
phony. Photographs have been sue
cessfully transmitted over a fourfold
line between Munich and Nuremberg,
the resistance of the complete loop be-
ing 5000 ohms. The time Of transmits
sion may be considerably diminished
by increasing the DETECTING and indi-
eating powers Of the galvanometer.
The time required for the transmission
of handwriting or drawings is only
one-twentieth of that necessary for pic
lures. At present 500 words can easily
be transmitted in one hour. By ope-
rating the high-tension relay directly
by the line current an Improvement
can be effected.

INVENTION OF PORTLAND MAN.
Creating Great Interest Among lrri-
gationists and Hydraulic Miners.

Creating Great Interest Among lrri-
gationists and Hydraulic Miners.
What promises to be priceless boon
to the hundreds interested in irrigat;ng
and hydraulic mining projects is an
invention which has recently been
brought to a state of commercial per-
fection by W. r. Phillips, a practical
hydraulic engineer of Portland. 1t ia
a hydraulic ram that will utilize any
fall of water from three feet up for the
purpose of raising a portion of it 10
any desired level. 1t is perfect sub
stitute for the water-wheel and pump
combined, with greater efficiency. 1t
requires no attention and involves NO
cost of operation.
For hydraulic miners it will convert
the volume of water into pressure. 1t
enables them to dispense with long
and costly pipe lines. 1t will make
available gravel beds heretofore un-
touched by the hydraulic giant. 1t is
of unquestioned superiority in it's ap-
plication to hydraulic gravel and
water elevators. 1t is thought it will
fill the demand of the hydraulic miner
for some suitable means of exploiting
gravel beds inaccessible to the high
heads of water demanded by the hy-
draulic giant. Recent reports show
vast areas of such unexplored gravel
beds to exist in the Pacific Northwest.
In an interview with Mr.. Phillips,
from whom the above information was
obtained, we were told that the license
to manufacture the ram was sold to the
Columbia Engineering Works, of Port
land.

paused in confusion, and Hobson
caught her fingers. I'm a brute" he
whispered, and then because some
thing welled up into his throat he
could say no more, but with a sudden
movement he crushed the fingers
against his lips.
Then the face of Miss Felicia flashed
into vivldness in his brain and with a
sigh he released the hand.

he said, presently.
"Yes," she replied in an even voice,
but with averted face. 1--WE shall be
sorry to have you go, Mr.. Richard"
There was long silence. Hobson
was cursing himself and fate and So
ciety and the whole universe, but aloud
he said simply. "Thank you, Miss

Then after pause he added, ~ am

How Brnhmans Measure Time.

The Brahmans' clocks divide the day
into 60 hours of "a minutes each, called
ghurees. Occasionally a 24-minute
sand glass is used, but more common

hole in the bottom of 1t, this bowl be-
ing placed on the surface of the water
and gradually filled. If the hole in
the bottom is correctly sized the bowl
sinks in "a minutes. This registers

and strikes the hour of the day or

IN HOSPITAL FOR az YEARS.
Miss Ellen Adams Left Deaf and Dumb
in Childhood by lever.


in Childhood by Fever.
Left deaf and dumb after a severe
attack of scarlet fever when she was
a child Of II years, Miss Eliza Adams
has passed AZ years in the Louisville
city hospital in complete ignorance Of
who her parents were.
This peculiar character arrived in
Louisville in the fall of 1862 from
Nashville, Tenn. She had been deport-
ed with the crowds of women and chill
dren the United States government
sent out Of that State when the armies
of the North and South We're making
its green pastures CORY with the blood
of the Civil War, and in the deporta-
ton she became separated from her
parents and family.
In Nashville great camp was pre-
pared for protection of these people
and for several weeks Eliza Adams
was confined in this place. Finally
she became i'll of scarlet fever, and,
owing to her age, she was soon sent
North. Raving i'll delirium, she reach
ed Louisville and was taken to the
city hospital.
She had no friends and no one who
arrived in the same train with her
knew her name or anything of her par
entage. Finally, under the care Of
Mrs. Carey, the superintendent, she
began to improve, and within five
months after she reached Louisville
became perfectly well so far as mind
and body were concerned, but the raw
ages Of the disease had destroyed her
hearing and power Of speech. Owing
to her tender years her memory was
also partially impaired and after she
learned 10 talk by the sign language
used by deaf mutes she was unable to
throw any light upon her history.
Shortly after she became well Mrs
Carey took compassion upon the afflict-
ed orphan and adopted her as her
daughter, giving her the name she now
bears.
Many efforts have been made to
learn something of her history and par
entage, formerly by Mrs. Carey, before
she died, two years ago, and later by
friends connected with the hospital
These have been entirely unsuccessful
owing to the meager information
which can be CLEANED from her men,
ories Of younger days, and in all proba-
bility her parents have long since pass
ed away.

LLOYD C. GRIsCoM can minister, Lloyd
G. Griscom, during this period. The
Japanese are a sensitive people and a
little less Of wisdom and tact and the
good offices of America might come
with less acceptance than they have
thus far. Nothing could exceed the
kind feeling existing in Japan to-day
toward the United States, and this
feeling has been greatly enhanced by
the American minister.
Mr.. Griscom is one of the youngest
men holding such an important posi-
ton under our government He sue
ceeded the late Col. Alfred e. Buck,
who died early in 1908. He represent
ed our government in Persia before
going to Japan, and was also before
that charge d'atfaires in Constantine
pie. In both places he distinguished
himself by his efforts to secure full
recognition Of the rights Of Americans
without friction or unpleasantness.
American interests have never been
cared for in Japan with more dignity
and safety, and Mr.. Griscom holds
not only the constantly growing re-
spect and admiration Of the resident
Americans and travellers through
Japan, whom he always receives with
rare grace and cordiality, but he
commands the esteem and regard of
the diplomatic corps and the japanese
government.

Thomas W. Lawson, the Boston mil

and a mandolin orchestra, and the

enough on his demise to pay his debts.
He was, beyond any doubt, an
economist. A cohple Of plumbers were

asked for some light.
