The former expostulated, but Bullinger

Inventor Perfects TeIevue, Which Is a
Long Range Mirror.

New York, July 25.-Local scientists
are displaying a keen interest in the
teleview. or ''televue," as the inventor,
J. 3. Fowler, of San Diego, Cal, prefers
to call it. and which, when completed
and placed under the telephone, viii en-
able persons talking to see each other
as plainly as If they were in the same
room.
Like almost all other marvellous in
ventions the televue is extremely SIM
pie in principle. The user sits down in
light is thrown on the face by some five
or six electric globes.
Under the telephone naouthpiece Is a
large round disc of glass, somewhat
thicker in the middle than on the edges.
In the center of the glass there is a
small hole. and through this the sittes
is able to see the person to whom he IS
talking The secret of the invention,
Mr. Fowler says, lies in the perfect me
chanicaI and chemical combinations
During the entire conversation the tele-
vue keeps up constant QUIZ
The inventor predicts that in a very
short time one will be able to talk from
New York to Chicago and see the person
at the other end of the line The posi-
bilities are infinite, as the televue can
be developed to include such work as

likely though, that many folks Will
adopt his plan OF campaign.
Quantrain has tried all kinds OF
dogs and had even used a set gun
loaded with salt but the tramps con-
tinued to sneak into his barnyard,
steal his chickens, and even invade
his cellar When he was in the fields
or woods they would threaten his
wife and make themselves thoroughly
obnoxious So one day when he met
a fellow trapper leading a tame skunk
by a chain he got an idea He set a
box trap. caught a young polecat and
brought it up so that it would treat
him with due respect, but make its
presence known to all strangers
He kept 1t in an old barn at some
distance from the house so that it
would not salute his friends, and at
night let it loose in the 'front.' yard.
The experiment worked to perfection,
for the very first night a tramp came
in contact with the little animal and
beat a retreat. bowling as he ran.
Thereafter he had no trouble with
nocturnal visitors. Let one set foot
within the yard and he instantly re-
GREETED it. Now and then a mistake
was made, but in the long run the
skunk kept pretty close to his assign
ment. Now, Quantrain says, the
tramps have passed the word along
that his place is no poaching ground
for one of the fraternity, and they
give him a wide berth

Washington, Oct. PA marked
characteristic of the export trade of
the United States in recent months,
is a reduction in the value of exports
to China and Japan The total value
of merchandise exported to China IN
the eight months ending August. 1906,
is but $22,000,O00, as against $42, ,0OO, 900
in the corresponding months Of 1906,
and to Japan $21.0OO,OOo, as against
$39000,000; while to Asia, as whole,
the exports We're but $5s,000,O0O, as
against s95,OO0,OOO in 1905.
The cause of this startling reduction
in China, the report gives as two abb
normal conditions of demand, namely,
the Russo-Japanese war practically
closing the northern part Of China to
importations, and resulting in unus-
ually large orders Immediately after
ward, and the order of the Chinese
provincial government for copper for
coinage, the United States being the
largest copper producing country in the
world.
In Japan, the return to ordinary con-
ditions also is an explanation given for
the reduction of exports to Japan.

Ffndlay, o., Oct. 12.-With the un-
derstanding that the court would ad-
journ at noon today, until Monday,
the trial of the Standard Oil Company
of Ohio, for conspiracy against trade
was begun by the state putting County
Recorder Bloom, of Hancock county on
the stand, who identified records and
certain deeds transferring land to the
Standard B. S. Shaffer, deputy Oil in
spector, described the manner of test
ing oil. The Standard, he said, had a
distributing plant located in Findlay,
on land identified by deed and record
which previously read as property Of
the Standard Oil Company. The COM
pany has four tanks, three for that
number of grades of oil, and one for
gasoline. This oil is retailed in tank
wagons. Shaffer said the oil came
from the Solar Refining Company, at
Lima.
At Upper Sandusky, the witness
said the Standard Oil received its oil

refinery at Cleveland. On cross exam
ination, Shaffer said his territory as in.
spector covered several surrounding
counties. and that he inspected the oils
of all companies.

the exami, all over again-being
confident sir own minds that they

1t is the first time in the history or
the department that such thing has
happened, and for that reason there
is no precedent by which to be gov

trouble so far as can be seen now is
for the students to take the examina-

department is making every effort to
find the missing papers.
In the forthcoming report to the
legislature of the superintendent OF
public instruction a new feature will
take prominence. This will be exhaus-
tive data from every county of the
state showing the manner in which
the truant law and child labor law are
working with comments of the city
and county superintendent on the good
and weak points of the law. Blanks
have been sent out to all the superin-
tendents, and the reports are not COM
ing into the state superintendent.
These reports, 1t is believed. when all
in. will show that the blame for chill
dren not attending the public schools
and receiving an education that will
fit them for being good citizens is to
be laid at the doors of the parents.
