TELEGRAPHING PHOTOGRAPHS.

At recent lecture in Munich, Pro-
lessor Kon stated that the problem Of
telegraphing photographs had been
solved in principle. The experiments
which the professor has already carried
out prove that it is possible to transmit
photograph or sketch six or seven
inches square in period VARYING from
ten to twenty minutes. These expert
ments We're carried out on the telegraph
line from Munich to Nuremburg, dis
lance OF about 100 miles, but Prof. Korrr
declares that the same results would be
obtained if the photographs were trans
mitted by telegraph line or submarine
cable 5000 miles in length.

were playing,
Above them the green houghs were
tossing and swlying;
The air was perfumed with the fra
GRANGE of flowers,
The earth was an smiles. meath the

An angel came down from the fair
courts of heaven,
Held out a bright crown which he said

The child who wished wisest. and thus
they began IT,
Zach wished for the things they con-
ceived had most merit.
The first for contentment in unmeas-

The second good health and good

The third wanted nothing for self; but

ContentmeuU, good health and good for
