 Urges Parcel Post.
 In view of the successful operation of the postal banks, Mr. Hitchcock strongly recommends the establish ment by congress of an adequate par cells post, which, he said, could be pl: into operation in a few months.
 Tie postmaster-general reiterated that the second class postage rate should be two cents instead of one cent pound. He also urged that by readjustment of the pay of railroads for transporting the mails, based oil actual cost to the railroads, an annSai saving to the government Of at least s9.000,000 could be effected.
 MT. Hitchcock said The progress in aviation encourages the hope that the regular conveyance os mail by this means may be practicable in many districts were the natural conditions preclude other means of rapid transportation"
 MI. Hitchcock recommended gran" ing all pJstal employees 30 days an- nual leave; that " a civil pension bas- ed on length of employment be gran = ed ty the government" to superan nuated employees; and that presiden- class fec service

had bridge companies who wanted to build the bridge, and our own people actually spoke hard of each other because their side could not get the bridge, and apparently both quit because the majority favored letting the other fellow have the building of the bridge.
 You can't blame the business men and bankers for boosting the bridge. They are not looking to the real es- tate end of the thing for living. It's taxation favors them. It's go- ing to create stir of ready cash at the expense of the real estate holder. There is no way to get at them for it and they know it. It's q business proposition.
 Now if the bridge toll will help, let us know to what extent. Let's know all about ii. If the railroads have anything to put up let's let them come up with it, and if they cant come up with it why should We be bored continually?
 We need not lose sight of the fact that somebody is going to be forced to it, and ask yourself "Who can he forced to it?"
 It is property owners proposi- | iion and a cautious careful consid- eration should be given to it.
 Men who sign merely because they have a friend on one side or the other, or because he may be re- jected favor because they refuse one side or the other, and are not men enough 10 apply their own feel ings in the matter, are to be pit jed, as are those depending upon them.

SEEING BY WIRE.
View OF Living Beings At A Distance by
Telegraph.
Use OF Mirrors.

The problem of seeing Ivy wire is gradu-
ally being solved, although the difficulties
to be overcome before any general results
Will be obtained are still very great. One
OF the newest systems is Il That of Professor
ROsing, Of the archaeological Institute of
st. Petersburg. 1t depends on the seeing
power . sensitiyeness to light, Of what is
termed a phot-eIectric element. Some recent
work by Drs. Elster md Geitel has resulted
III the discovery of n much more sensitive ele-
meut OF this kind, and thus further improve
ment may be looked for.
Professor Rosing has made very real adj
yances, because be has succeeded iii con
structing a receiving apparatus which is com
pact and which requires no complicated me-
chanisn. The whole system Is very ingen-
ious, and 50 simple that development of it
to actual general use appears quite possible.
How Tn Pictures are Transmitted.
\ fine pencil of light traces very rapidly
a picture on a screen and reconsttucts any
image facing the transmitting apparatus.
Suppose, for example, that a nun stood be
fore the t%ransmittcr just rs he might stand
before a telephone instrument to speak Two
sets of compound mirrors move III such n
way as to project his image small portion
ut a time-upon the sensitive photoelectrlc
element. The person watching the receiver
sees u dark screen, which is lighted up by q
smuIl fuorescent spot when a current comes
from the element over the telegraph wires.
This spot of light is caused by the invisible
ray, of a specially constructed vacuum tube,
which strike the screen and cause it to glow,
the strength Of the glow being regulated by
the amount Of light falling each instant on
the sensitive element il the trtnsmitter.
Mirrors And A Screen.
The movements Of the mirrors are also
made to vary a series Of electric currents
which make the spot Of light follow ex-
actly the same course as the rays of light
proceeding from the person standing in front
of the transmitter. The result is that as
the mirrors reflect the image of the person
on the element, the other person sees his
, 1911-12-23

whole thing takes place III an instant, aud
after one complete cycle it takes place
again and again, So that a continuous image
is seen on the receiving screen.
This wonderful apparatus is as yet only
in the experimental stage, SO that only small
and simple objects can toe seen over the wire;
but in the opinion of u weIt-knowu expert
there is every reason to look forward to
developments which may lead ultimately to
our seeing people with whom we are con-
yersing on the telephone -Dealy Nail

SECRETARY
MEYER GETS
A SCORING
CONGRESSMAN KORBLY ROASTS
HIM FOR ADDING INSULT TO
THAT ALREADY OFFERED BY
A GANG OF NAVAL SNOBS.

Washington, April 26.-Congress-
man Kodbly, of Indiana, replied hotly
to Secretary of the Navy Meyer in
the house today, when he received an
extract fnom the report of Superin-
tendent Bowyer, of the naval acade-
my at Annapolis, regarding the af-
front to Miss Beers, daughter of a
Yale professor, at a recent naval hop
there.
"You say" said KoKrbly, that
the dance was private subscription
hop, paid for by the cadets, and that
you directed the academy superin-
tendent to apologize to Miss Beers
because Midshipman Burtis, escorting
her to tn chop, had been cautioned
privately that 1t was not considered
fitting for a midshipman to take a
nursemaid to a social function. Your
superintendent, replying, said:
Nothing was known of the young
woman, beyond the fact that she was
nurse girl, employed in the family
Of an officer, and no reflection was
cast upon her character
81 can hardly refrain from saying
that it was most considerate that the
young lady's character was left her,
and have no doubt that her family
and friends will be duly grateful.
1T is we'll known that many young
women take employment as nurse
girls. Are they to be forever exclud-
ed from polite society because they
have taken emmployment? 1t may
be 80 in England or in Beacon Hill
annex, but it rs not so in the United
States.
Your assurance that the incident
is closed, so far as the navy depart
ment is concerned, coupled with the
statement that it is duty that the
young lady and her family be spared
further annoyance, suggests, first,
that your solicitude for the young
lady pnobably would have been more
appreciated at time when the en-
barrassment was not manifestly more
yours than hers, and, second, that
copies of the correspondence have
had as to this incident will be filed by
me with the house naval committee"
Bowyer's report said that Miss
Beers had been discharged by Mrs.
Tarrant, wife of the naval officer who
employed her, the day following the
dance
