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

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 a 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 q vacuum tube as an adjusta-
BILE source of light at the receiving sta
ton.
The essential arrangements are we'll
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
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 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 the
hollow cylinder the light ray describes
a 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
I one-twentieth of that necessary for pic
! lures. At present 800 words can easily
: be transmitted in one hour By one.
e rating the high-tensiOn relay directly
t by the line current an improvement
can be effected.

How Brahmans Measure Time.

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

and strikes the hour of the day or
night on the gong.

Illicit still in a Church.

AS the result of anonymous informa-
ton, some customs officers climbed into
the spire of an ancient church at Que.
FAC, in the south of France, and after
a careful search found a still, which,
although dating from the seventeenth
century, was yet In a perfect state of
preservation and capable of being
worked. Naturally the requirements
of the law with regard to apparatus of
this description had not been complied
with in this case, but who was the Of
fender? The vicor in charge of the
building? The sacristan who visited ii
weekly?
Interrogated, the former declared
that he had only recently come into
the parish and had never set foot in
the spire. He was, therefore, totally
ignorant of the existence of the incr1m-
mating vessel. The sacristan, however,
could not allege so valid an excuse,
and, his explanation not being consid-
cred satisfactory, he will be proceede-
ed against.

IN HOSPITAL FOR az YEARS.
Miss Ellen Adams Left Deaf and Dumb
In Childhood by Fever.


In Childhood by Fever.
Left deaf and dumb after a severe
attack OF scarlet fever when she was
child Of IL 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 were 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 a great camp was pre-
pared for protection of these people
and for several weeks Eliza Adams
was confined in this place. Finally
she became Ill Of scarlet fever, and,
owing to her age, she was soon sent
North. Raving in 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 we'll 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 to talk by the sign language
used by deaf mutes she was unable to
throw any light upon her history
Shortly after she became we'll Mrs
Carey took compassion upon the aff1ict-
ed orphan and adopted her as her
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 mem |
Dries of younger days, and in all proba-
oility her parents have long since pass
ed away.

"Do you know why 1t is that a won.

The young man was Of the opinion
that It was because women are human,
and consequently decidedly opposed to

the extracting of troublesome teeth, the
fortitude of the little, slender woman
Is remarkable when one comes to con-
slider the hideous groans that emanate
from big man undergoing the same

keeps many a woman away from the
chair when she really ought to be hav-
ing her teeth attended to.
You see this rubber? Well, that
rubber goes into the mouth of every
person who comes in here to have a

leave the patient half chance to talk.
Well, there you have it; that's the rea-

the necessity of applying that rubber.
a woman comes in here to get
tooth filed. If she is inexperienced in

the rubber Is produced AS soon as it
is placed in her mouth she tries to talk,

get mad from then on. When l ask

glares still more, and by the time l am

as the great steam eXcaVator shown in
the illustration performs In eight
hours. The burning sun or rain in tor
rents has no terrors for this mammoth
earth-devouring monster. The scene
is from a photograph of the construc-
ton work on the irrigation canal in
Colusa County, California. The arti-
fetal river thus created is six miles
long, 100 feet wide, and IS feet to the
top Of its banks. The Sacramento riv-
er furnishes the water which makes
fertile 10000 acres of fruit ranches.
The excayator travels on it's own
railway tracks on each side Of the
canal, and as the work proceeds the
track is taken up and relaid ahead
of the machine.
The steel buckets, which have sharp,
cutting edges, move constantly by
means of endless chains, and empty
their load of earth first on one side
then on the other. Wide endless belts
carried on rollers carry the earth to
the sides of the ditch.
All these movements of the machine
are controlled by one leyerman. who
may be seen in the cut standing ON
the platform on the left of the bucket
He has control of five separate levers
one for raising and lowering the buck.
ct chain, one for moving the car to
the right, and another for moving the
car to the left, and another for MOVING
it forward on the side track, and the
fifth controls the engine. The rapid
ty ana facility with which all thes,
movements are made is surprising, es
pecially considering the momentum
and immense weight of the car an,
bridge and the excavator's machinery
which is about 300 tons.

Conquest q "a. Great
American Desert
So
Pat and to tho Point.

Mr.. Paul Thieman, whoever he may
be, says something In recent issue OF
a Denver paper which is pat and to the
point. We herewith produce the first
few paragraphs of his article
When one beholds the complacent
failure to comprehend the nature and
condition Of Far Western irrigation, it
is maddening. | have seen one man,
who is thoroughly posted, almost break
into wild tears of rage over the ever
recurring evidences that the people at
large, the people right here, the ma
tional government, the State govern
ments, do not appreciate national irrf-
CATION, and that the public informa-
ton and the individual knowledge of
the subject at this time are strangely
dense. The public is fed constantly
with lovely articles about the grand
national irrigation works under way,
while the fact is that all the great
values mentioned concerning reclama-
ton Of the arid region are the result Of
private initiative and enterprise and
capital.
Few people understand that the ma
tional irrigation fund Is nothing but a
bulk Of capital which may be advanced
to build reservoirs and bitches, upon a
guarantee that the owners of the lands
to be irrigated will repay the cost to
the fund. The national fund is not to
be depleted, but must be replenished
by the payment back of the cost of the
work, as assessed by the government
engineers, and If signatures to such
pledges can't be secured, the works
proposed will not be built
Knowing that all government work
costs vastly more than if done by pri-
vate capital, and the United States
failing to guarantee the limit of the
cost, lots of landowners won't sign,
and there you are. Meantime the gov
eminent officials knock private enter
prises and warn the people against |
them, when, as the situation stands,
1t is only private enterprise, in pro-
noting irrigation district bonds in Col |
orado, at least, that is really doing any
thing.

ENGLISH DOCTORS FEES.
They Are Regulated by the Royal Col
lexe of Physicians.

1ege of Physicians.
The specialists must be divided into
two distinct classes, the surgeon prop
er and the pure physician. The former
unquestlonably gets big fees In ratio
to his reputation. The famous sur
geon has only to name his fee to the
millionaire with appendicitis. With
the fear Of death before his eyes he
will write his check gladly. When
he has recovered he will often grum-
BILE If he does not boast. A younger
and less known man will perform the
same operation for a 1.-THE Of the cost,
but the public, with death staring
them in the face, will have the man
with the big name, regardless Of ex-
pense.
But the pure physician is an entirely
different matter. His fees are stand
ardized not by act Of Parliament, but
by that autocratic body, the Royal Col
lege of Physicians. His fees for con-
sultatio at his own house are fixed
at guineas the first visit and a
guinea for each subsequent one. For
consultations away from home he re-
ceives a fee at the calculated rate of
two-thirds Of a guinea mile. Elstree

guineas, and so on pro rata. But it
must be remembered that nowadays
all the big provincial centers have
their own specialists, and the town
man is very seldom sent for unless he
be one Of the very biggest names and
the case desperate and rich.
