COPENHAGEN March 19-Three Dam
ish engineers. Messrs. Dessau. Nyrop and
Thomson, have jointly made a discovery
in telephony, which they have com
municated to a gathering OF electricians.
including NJ. Johansen. manager of the
Copenhagen Telephone company. The
latter was so pleased with the SUCCESS of
their experiments that he expressed the
opinion that the invention would revolu-
tionize telephone communications. The
device OF the Danish engineers enables
any telephone subscriber to send a tele-
graphic dispatch. which Is automatically
registered in the event OF tile absence OF
the person called up. This Is effected by
means of a keyboard in connection with
the telephone. which is operated like that
OF typewriter. AT the other end Of the
wire tape runs through the appara tuS,
on which the message is printed in alpha
Detc characters Distance does not al
feet the action. The apparatus is not
expensive TO construct and negotiations
are said TO be already in progress for the
purchase of the international patent
rights.
Peary to Address Danes.
Commander Peary OF north pole fame
will probably address the University OF
Copenhagen some time in May. The
great American arctic explorer is to come
to Europe the latter part of April and
understand has been invited TO de-
liver an address here. While he has not
definitely accepted the invitation, ii Is
generally believed he will. The Univcr-
sty of Copenhagen has not and will not
ask that the Peary records be submitted
TO 1t for examination. 1t Is felt that thd
fact that the action of the American
Geographical society In passing favorably
upon these records has put the fact that
Mr.. Peary actually reached the pole be-
yond discussion. The scientific men and
explorers of Denmark. who are keenly in
tn,. tod t
are anxious TO hear the story of Mr.;
Pearys successful venture at first hand
and are hopeful he will crafty them.
Royalty at Cannes.
Prince and Princess Christian OF Den
mark have left Copenhagen for Cannes.
where they are the guests OF the Grand
Schwerin at the villa Wenden. Prince
and Princess Christian will probably go
to England early In June on visit TO the
borough house and at Frogmore lodge, in
which case they viii be present at
Ascot races on the two royal days OF the
meeting.
Edward and Gear to Meet.
II is now settled that a meeting shall
take place between the king of England
and the czar OF Russia during the cur
rent year. According TO present arrange
ments, this meeting Will take place at
the queens villa on the banks of the
SOUND, near copenhagen, curing lne
moath Of August. The meeting will be
private one, but it is understood
that matters of common interest 10 the
two countries. particularly in Russia will
be discussed by the two monarchs. This
meeting was sought by the car who
suggested that King Edward should take
another yachting trip to Russian waters.
His majesty. however. could not quite
make this 1T IN with his other arrange
ments, so that the villa Hvidore was then
suggested as suitable meeting place.
