The commercial and general wire does not appear on the surface at this time, but, like the wireless telegraph and other great Inventions, 1t will, no doubt, become in6ispensa- ble as its possibilities become more extended. To Professor Stearn of Berlin is due the credit os making successful experiments in this direc- tion. He has succeeded in taking photographs of the kaiser and crown prince over 320 miles of wire, the latter extending from Berlin to Munish, and, the photos were perfect in every detail.
