GERMAN INVENTION is SHOWN
IN LONDON WITH RESULTS
THAT ARE WONDERFUL
SKETCHES SENT BY WIRE.

LONDON. July 25.-Simultaneous
writing and speaking by telephone is
made possible by the wonderful inven.
zion OF Gustaye Grzanna, OF Germany.
who has been demonstrating his in
strument in London. With the Grzan
Ia telephone, handwriting. sketching.
etc. can be transmitted over an ordi-
nary telephone wire for very consid.
cradle distances In a few seconds.
This means a great improvement on
the old system of electric writing at a
distance, 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 or draw at the same time
through the same wires. the telephone
being connected with the apparatus
Ito use the technical term through
condenser OF two microfarads.
BY this system an artist reporter
can telephone TO his office descrip-
ton and sketch OF any event stimuli
taneously. In military operations.
maps and sketches illustrating the en-
emys movements can be wired back
by scouts as they unfold themselves,
together with verbal dispatch, or
an engineer can order material by
telephone from manufactures, &C

ings of the goods he requires.
Light Ray the Principle.

minated. The light from this lamp, is

The light ray produced by the mir

BUSTING BUckING BRoNcHos.
Exhibitions Of This Dangerous Calling
Will be a Feature With the
Wild West.

When Buffalo Bill appears with his
Riders In this city he will present a
delegation OF cowboys and cowgirls as
a special feature Of his exhibition. The
real comboy is fast disappearing into
history. but as recompense for his
disappearance the cowgirl Is coming
into prominence and Buffalo Bill has
done his share TO exploit her in practi-
cal, public demonstrations OF her skill
In the saddle.
While women naturally cannot en-
dure the privations and hardships of
frontier life TO the same degree as can
the cowboys or herdsmen OF the
plains. she has been able TO adapt her
self to usefulness as a public exponent
OF equestrian skill which matches fav-
orally with the feats OF her brother
horsemen. With Buffalo Bits Wild
West will be seen several cowgirls.
some of whom will content themselves
with exhibitions Of grace and skill.
while some will exemplify their right
TO respect as broncho busters and rid
crs of bucking horses.
The real difficult and hazardous
work OF riding an untamed steed will
be exemplified by band OF real cow
boys who have spent the better part
OF their lives In the saddle, following
the herds Of cattle upon the plains and
participating in the annual round ups
In accord with his policy OF present.
ing genuine features. Buffalo Bill has
assembled a band OF genuine cowboys,
representatives Of a class of rugged
westerners now fast passing from
view. These cowboys will demonstrate
the noble art OF broncho busting as II
has been practiced for years upon the
frontier
In the Wild West exhibition the pecu-
liarities OF the buckins horse and the
daring OF the broncho buster will be
set forth In an authentic and realistic
manner; for with Buffalo Bill every
thing Is genuine and the student of
nature. the student OF history or the
simple seeker after entertainment will
find themselves enjoying the real ar.
ticle In every detail OF the varied pro-
gram which is to be presented.
