TELEPHONE USED
TO WRITE LETTERS
German Invention Shown in
London With Results That
Are Wonderful.

Simultaneous writing and speaking by
telephone is made possible by the won
derful invention of Gustave Grzanna Of
Germany, who has been demonstrating
his instrument in London. With The
Grzanna telephone, handwriting. sketch
ing, etc. can be transmitted over an
ordinary telephone wire fOF very con-
siderable distance IN few seconds.
This means great Improvement on the
old system Of electric writing at a dis
tance, which was slow and clumsy.
Messages on the Grzanna System are
passed through as fast as they are
written. One can actually speak and
write OF draw at the same time. through
the same wires, the telephone being
connected with the apparatus 60 use
the technical term) through a con-
denser Of two microrarads.
By this system an artist reporter can
telephone to his Office a description ana
sketch Of any event simultaneously. In
military operations, maps and sketches
Illustrating the enemy's movements can
be wired back by scouts as they unfold
themselves. together with a verbal dis
patch. or an engineer can order ma
terial by telephone from rnanufac-
turer. accompanying his message with
drawings Of the goods he requires.
Light Ray the Principle.
The wonderful system of teIauto-
graphy is accomplished by means Of a
light ray travelling over sensitized paper.
The graphite pencil at the transmitter
end has two electrical contacts, one for
horizoatal and the other for vertical
movement, curve being made up OF
the component parts Of one or the otner.
On taking the pencil from of it's rest
a tiny electric glow lamp in the receiver
box Is Illuminated. The light from this
lamp is conducted to q prism. from
which 1t is reflected on to two little
pivoted mirrors. one of which CORE
spOnds with the circuit OF horizontal
movement and the other with that Of
the vertical.
The light ray produced by the mirrors
IS absolutely Identical with the move

senSitiZed paper set TO receive it, By

the evolutiOns Of the light ray can be
Watched. 1t appears as a tiny pfnhead
OF light travelling in all directions over
the glass-really Initiating exactly the
handwriting or drawing OF the trans
mitter.
Chemical Bath Used.
On laying the pencil down. the lamp is
eXtinguished and a :fttle eIectro-motor
pushes forward the sensitized paper. on
which the message has just been photo
sraphed. passes it through a chemical
bath, in which 1t is developed, and in
ten seconds the writing or sketch be-
comes visible, while another film Is
unwound from the spool and placed In
position to receive the next message.
Al these processes are automatic. The
receiver has now but to cut of the

REAL DECLARATION
IS NOT ON VIEW
Precious Document Is Some
what the Worse for Wear
and Shows Age.

Many a country bride and groom and
Some couples from the cities are disap-
pointed upon making a visit to Wash
i1ngton TO discover that they are unable
ito get a peep at the real Declaration OF
Independence. There is d common no
s1ion prevalent that this precious script
IS on view at all times. but such is not
Fahe case, for the document is regarded
with genuine reverence and is kept
Rsealed IN q box which is stored away In
sone OF the stoutest safes owned by the
government IN the State Department.
hAt more or less regular intervals the
statement is made that the box has been
opened for few seconds TO permit this
aOT that distinguished visitor to glance
al II, but this is not so. and all requests
fdOr sucn a peep are treated in the same
Snanner, no matter what source they
7cOme from. They are all refused. Prior
10 1905 the writing was given an occa-
ssional excursion into daylight, but since
Ihat time no eyes have Eeen It. In that
fSear the late John Hay. then Secretary
Df state, appointed a committee to ex-
nmine the condition of the Declaration
iAnd 10 recommend what should be done
20 preserve it. The committee found it
ereased and bereft of its ink, but they
Fwere pleased TO find no evidence of
sn1old or other disintegraIing agents"
They recommended that the document
gbe kept dark and dry. and their recon-
mendation has been religiously followed.
Photographed in 1883.
The original parchment was photo
sgTaphed in 1888 and again I'm 1903. The
fcommittee recommended that II be pho
Iographed again from time 10 time. The

5c-ears has gone by and the time comes,

Independence repOses also the original
sCopy OF the Constitution OF the United
States. It is not on exhibition, but II
doubt as to its existence continues to
grow, II may be produced to set such

1t is fact. though. that the precious
Hdocument IS somewhat the worse for the
rough usage to which IT was subject

and rolled until the effects Of this re-
Fpeated handling were beginning to show,
nut the worst thing which ever happen
ed 10 II was in 1870 when efforts were
made TO get a fac simile impression
from the original writing bv a wet
s process, which had the effect Of depriv-
ing il OF a good deal Of the original
ink. After this for thirty years the Dec
lsratlon Of Independence hung in the
b light, and the longer il hung there the
more necessary the light became. for the
