Young Italians Amazing Claim.

"The invention which have made
and the apparatus which | have sue
ceeded in putting together are sutli-
clent for me to make the assertion that
l can visualize an object at distance
Of thousands of miles. The object can
be seen with its properties of color eff
fccts, dimensions and movements and
will be equal to the original with the
exception that the object itself cannot
be felt with the fingers"
Such Is the remarkable claim made
by William Vincent PrusCino, young
Italian living at ~ South Union street
Rochester, n. Y.
PruscinO Is not very communicative
about his invention so far as going
into details Is concerned At present
he will deal only in generaltes as to
just what his device really Is. He
fears that some one will steal his in
vention. He was so oppressed by the
thought of such calamity that he
even destroyed his model after he had
given a demonstration for his own
benefit. Now he says that he has re-
ceivcd financial support, and he Is en-
gagged in reConstructing the model pre-
paratory to having it entered and re-
corded at the patent office.
Telegraph Wires Used.
"The actual demonstrations made by
me not many weeks ago" said Prus-
elmo recently, "have completely salts
fed me that seeing at the distance of
ten or twenty thousand miles is no
more an impossibility; but on the con
trary, it is absolutely possible. l re.
peat that thanks to my experiments,
/ have succeeded in demonstrating this
to my complete satisfaction"
"TelevisualiZer" is the name that
Pruscino has given his device. While
he will not tell anything about its eX
act nature, he admits that telegraph
wires have to be used and that per
sons, objects and scenes can only be
visualized where the necessary appa
ratus is set up at both points, which
would correspond in telcgraphy to the
sending" and receiving" points. The
