Scientist Tries
to Buy Pictured
Window Pane
DR.. L, B. Capron of Central City
Offered $3.50 for Glass with
WOman'S Photograph on 1t,

CENTRAL CITY, Neb., June 5.-(special)
DIR. l. D. Capron, who owns the large
window pane on which Is imprinted the
electrical picture OF which there is but one
other known TO exist in the whole country,
has been offered $3.50 for the glass; but re-
fuses to accept the offer This bid was
made by Lincoln scientist connected with
the State university and who did not wish
to have his name made public The picture
can only be seen on the window when the
light is strong on that side of the house,
and at such times 1t shows very plainly.
The picture shows the bust and head of q
woman, with apparently dark and hair and
eyes, wearing a white waist with red
jacket, and hat trimmed In blue and red.
The peculiar thing about the glass is that
when it is examined closely it appears as
clear as crystal and the picture can only
be seen when the spectator stands at a dis
lance of three or four rods from the win
dow. This natural curiosity has attracted
great deal of interest and hundreds have
viewed it this week, many coming from a
considerable distance to view it. 1t is the
theory of DR.. Capron that the picture was
stamped on the window by a brilliant flash
OF lightning. He believes that some woman
had called in to visit his wife, and that/a
storm had come up and that she was stand
ing close to the window looking out when
the flash of lightning stamped her image
on the pane.
