FAREWELL ADDRESS
OF Lord Selborne Creates Quite a
T. Sensation

johannesburg, May 7.-(Special)-
The farewell address of Lord Selborne
created a sensation which has not yet
died down..
All he said laid the greatest stress
on the superiority and responsibility
Of the whites, with which he sympa-
thised. but he differed from the pre-
yailing tendency to lay all the stress
on the black side of the mulattoes be-
cause he laid stress on the white side
They varied in character and charac-
teristics exactly as much as in ex-
ternal appearance and he believed the
tendency to drive mulattoes down to
the position of Kaffirs was unjust and
unwise-unjust because they often had
he thoughts an dfeellngs of the white
j. man lnwise because we must con-
slider that one day we might have to
face a great concerted movement OF
the native races.
Lord Selborne prophesied that in the
event of such terrible catastrophe
they would find the leader of the ma
tive races to be mulatto with the feel
inEs character, and superiority of a
white man. If they persisted in the ten
dency to degrade colored people to the
condition of the natives. He considered
that except where mulattoes had man.
ifestly adopted the habits and condi-
lions of natives they ought to be led
up to a condition in which they could
receive the treatment accorded to the
white man.. Mixed carriages we're the
last thing he advocated, because he
believed them to be utterly hateful
and wrong.

London Mail: Talking over the tele-
phone from London to Paris seems suf-
ficienrly wonderful, but shall we ever
be able to see people in Paris while
sitting comfortably in our homes or
business houses in London? This
point is raised by the recent success
of Herr RUNNER, who has succeeded
in transmitting likenesses of inanimate
objects over a telegraph line.
The problem has been attempted by
other scientists besides RUNNER, with
more or less success, among them be-
ing an italian electrical engineer named
Sylvelli, and two Frenchmen, Rignoux
and Fournier These inventors have all
used means similar to Herr RUNNER,
using the element seIenium In their APP
paratus, which varies in its power of
resisting an electrical current accord
ing to the amount of light which falls
upon 1t. Different parts OF he, image
OF person rejected on the selenium
would be, of course, Of different bright
ness and each part would regulate the
resisriye power of the seleniurn cells.
The present apparatus of Herr Rub
mer renders II possible merely to see
simple patterns at distance, and he
has actually demonstrated that 1t Is
possible to see such patterns by means
Of teIegraphy His experiments show
that with a larger apparatus the pro-
cess Of television could be solved, and
the head and shoulders Of a human
being could be seen over q distance.
This would mean that a man wishing
to cash check at Paris house could
be seen In London over the telegraph
wires by his English agents and iden-
titled.
The apparatus consists of screen
divided up into small sections-10, 900
in 'life-size" apparatus-u which
the image to be seen at the other end
Of the line is projected by means OF
special form of camera. Each small
section OF tine screen lis provided with
seleniurn cell that is sensitive TO
light, and regulates an electric cur
rent transmitted through the wires.
These electric currents are made TO
regulate the light falling on correspond
ing sections OF similar screen at the
end OF the line whereby the image is
reconstructed

end OF the country to the other. Not
only the facial characteristics of thieves
and other criminals but also their other
identification marks were indelibly en-
graved on his memory. AS an instance
OF his powers in this direction a man
was brought before him one morning
who had been arrested simply because
he had been found in the company of a
notorious post Office burglar None of
the other headquarter detectives rec
ognized him, but as soon as Sheridan
looked him over he exclaimed, Why,
this is Mott Haven Red" an old-t time
crook who had dropped out of sight
for several years. The man denied the
charge Indignantly and insisted that
he was a respectable citizen, but
Sheridan proceeded to describe cer-
tain tattoo marks that would be
found on him and when preparations
were made to strip the prisoner he
broke down and confessed his identity.
Numberless similar stories are related
of the man conceded to have the most
remarkable memory of any police Of
flcer In the world Although Sheridan
is retiring from the service of the city
he will not give up his favorite occu-
patton of catching and identifying
criminals for he is to become partner
OF William ]. Burns. the Urited States
secret service man i'm the detective
agency, which the latter has established
here. Sheridan is one of the few men
who follow the pursuit Of criminals for
his love Of the game, for he is in
dependently wealthy.

New York Jan. s.--Within the past
few months New York has outstripped
London as the greatest amusement CEN
ter In the world. It's possession Of this
record is due primarily to the rapid i'm
crease in the number of theatres here
of which no less than a dozen are now
in process of construction. Heretofore
London has always boosted the pos
session of more playhouses than any
other city, having over eighty Greater
New York however, now has ninety
theatres within its limits, of which
seventy-four are in Manhattan. These
theatres entertain every night audi
ences aggregating 10000 persons, be-
sides matinee attendances of an equal
number twice a week. 1t is estimated
that 100000 is paid out in New York
daily for theatrical entertainments. In
addition there are three hundred NOV
ing picture establishments attended by
half a million persons each dy. ADJ
missions to these amusement places
represent another $4,000. operate
and musical entertainments are respon-
sible for a daily expenditure of $4,000
during the winter season, and miscel-
Ianeous exhibitions and sporting events
such as are held in the Madison Square
Garden and other large halls calls for
an average expenditure OF not less
than $4,000 daily throughout the sea-
son. If the profits of the fashionable
restaurants are included-and dining
out" admittedly IL one of the favOrite
recreations OF New Yorkers-the daily
expenditure in this city for amusement
and recreation easily surpass half
million dollars day. Not all this
money comes from the pockets Of New
Workers of course. Probably third
OF the total amount IS expended by vis-
ltors from all parts OF the country The
fact remains however, that in no other
city is any such sum lavished on pure
iy amusement purposes as in New
York which therefore stands as the
amusement of the world.

1t is doubtful If New York will
ever again have police officer with the
peculiar abilities and qualifications OF
Lieutenant William p. Sheridan who
retired from the police department AZ
ter twenty three years service. Sher-
idan was famous among police officials
and criminals all over the world as
athe man with the camera eye. The
title was bestowed upon him In view
OF the fact that he never forgot a face

The arrest Of several children Of
from six to ten years Of age for shop
