FOUR HUNDRED CHILDREN
GIVEN CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Santa Claus at Salvation Army
Headquarters Finds Seven Trees
Laden With Goodies.

Santa Claus made return trip from
his north pole home last night especially
to distribute large number of presents
to boys and girls at the Salvation Army
headquarters, $50 Pennsylvania avenue.
Old Santa, attred in heavy fur
greatcoat, caused much enthusiasm
among the little ones when he suddenly
emerged from the chimney Of a snow
ceded by the merry jingling of sleigh
bells.
Stroking his long white beard, Santa
Claus was filled with glee at the picture
presented on the stage. There were
seven big Christmas trees and they were
fairly laden with toys, books, candies
and fruit
His audience was large and happy
one There were at least four hundred
little ones, TO some of whom Christmas
cheer at their homes is unknown.
After Santa had descended from the
chimney top the distribution of presents
was commenced. The girls passed first
by the platform in long line and each
one received toy or book, an orange,
an apple and a bag of candy. There
We're big dolls, toy dishes and many
other things for the girls. The boys,
white and colored, were given Billikens.
sleds, wagons and toy novelties in addi-
ton to the fruit and candy.
The entertainment was in charge Of
Maj. Elizabeth Barter, division com
mander; Adjt. l.. Nj. BraZler, COM
mander of the Washington corps; En-
sign Hiatt and Capt Mayors.
The opening song was THE Lily of
the Valley the children joining in the
singing. Then there We're other songs,
and Master John Mcdonald gave a
recitation, and Miss Lily Mcdonald sang
a solo.
The stage was decorated with flags,
winter green's and holiday bells. Over
all smiled a picture of Gen. Booth, in
scfibed "A Happy New Year to ALL"
On one end of the platform was a
winter scene with a snow-mantled cot
tage.

HOLIDAY ON RIVER.
Freeze-up Makes Possible the OBJ
seryance of New Year.

New Year day is not generally observed
as holiday on the river. and the offices
and stores along the river front usually
keep open for business all day. This
year, however, in consequence of the
river being frozen and few, if any, sail
ing vessels being able to leave or come
into port, business is very dull and the
lumber and wood handling establishments
closed for the greater part Of the day.
At the offices of the steamboat lines all
who could be spared were given a holt
day. Aboard the large fleet of vessels
caught here by the freeze some quiet
celebrations were held. The crews paid
social visits to one another, enjoyed treats
of eggnog, punch and cigars, snapped
stories and made the day pass pleasantly.
All of the sailors are hoping that the
ice blockade may soon be lifted SO that
they can return home.

Power Craft in Berth for Shelter or
Remarks

The power launch Virginia, belonging
to l.. A. Clark & Son of this city. went
INTO Occoquan for shelter early in the
week, while on her way to this city. The
freeze came and caught the boat and 1t
is probable she will spend the winter

to Fred Weston; the bugeye Javalin be-
longing to DIR. Greer, and the yawl Al
batross, belonging to Messrs Brown IL
Son, have joined the fleet laid up fol

receive thorough OVERLAPPING before re-
turning to service in the spring
The power boats Freya, Grace and an
unnamed sioop are among the pleasure
craft that have been berthed in the OLD
slip of the ferry line to Alexandria for
the winter. The vessels will probably
remain where they are now lying until
about March /.
The large launch Rosalie, belonging to
Capt. Jack Headley, is out for the winter
on the marine railway at Regans boat
yard in preparation for receiving an
overhauling before she again returns to

PICTURES BY WIRE.
Progress in Transmission
Discussed in Report.
HENRY lARMAGNAT's NOTES
Credit for Development Given to DR..
Alexander Graham Bell, Who In
vented Photophone.

Progress up to date in the transmls-
sion of pictures by telegraph Is discussed
by Henry Armagnat of the civi! tribunal
of the Seine in the report Of the smith
sonian Institution, just issued. Credit is
given in the development of this art &c
the invention of the photophone by LIT
Alexander Graham Bell of Washington
He made use of the property of the
sensitiveness of selenium to light, it's re-
sistance to IN electric current varying
with the intensity Of the light. This fac,
being known it was a comparatively sim
pie matter to adapt it to the transmits
sion of pictures by wire.
So far the chief demand for the long
distance transmission of pictures has
been confined to the police departments
which want to head off escaping crimi
mails, and to the newspapers. There have
been several machines developed that vii
do the work, but they are all of then
rather crude in operation and expensive
in time, which is against their genera
use by newspapers.
