MAKE SOUND FILMS.
Moving Picture Inventor SynchrOnizes
Sight and Hearing.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 5.-An inven-
ton of the Swedish engineer, Sven
Bergelund, in connection with talking
as well as moving pictures, is exciting
great interest here. The principle OF
the invention is to fix waves OF sound
on films. The indentation thus formed
upon the surface of the film are trans
mitted to metal wire, which is ex-
posed to an even current of air, and
thereby the sound is reconstructed as
originally photographed" At the dis
play the picture films run alongside
the sound films.

Noel has returned from Washington

Panama Exposition boosters. He got

from the East. While in Washington
Governor Noel looked after several
matters of interest to Mississippi
with the result that this state proba
bly, will get more aid from the federal
government for it's agricultural inter
ests.
Governor Noel hopes and believes
New Orleans will secure the Panama
Exposition. He said there was a
strong opposition to San Francisco,
because that city is inaccessible. He
said the view of a majority of the
members of congress seems to be that
New orleans is the logical point.
He said New Orleans had been
placed at a disadvantage because of
false reports circulated about that
city, but that with the appearance of
Louisianians in Washington these re-
ports were refuted. He does not I'M
derstand why Tammany is opposing
New Orleans, but it is. Congressman
representing that organization are
pledged to San Francisco for some
reason, when they should, by all that
is right, be fighting for New Orleans.
The governor was pleased with his
trip. He believes he will secure fed.

PLANS new ROAD
IF CAN GET HELP

Jackson, Miss, Jan. lev. c.
Stowell, of Marseilles, ILL.,, a civil engi
neer, who made a survey for a pro
posed new railway from Memphis to
Pascagoula, about one year ago, is
endeavoring to stir up interest in the
project among citizens in several Mis-.
sissippi towns through which the sur.
vey of the proposed road was made.
In letters addressed to a number of
Mississippians, Mr.. Stowel stated
that the condition of the money mar
ket prevented his company from get
ting the project financed, and he has
now decided not to try to float Sc
curities for the entire project, but to
have the road built in sections; that
the cost of construction for the entire
line from Memphis to Pascagoula
would be about $10,0O0,OO0, and that
the Illinois Central and New Orleans,
Mobile & Chicago roads have been
the enterprise hard, having
caused the cancellation of his ar
with large Chicago syn
dictate.
Mr.. Stowell now proposes to build
the line from Forest or Kosciusko to
Carthage, and says either of these
projects would cost about $350,0O0;
that he has made arrangements with
to get $780, 900, and wants to
know whether citizens along the pro-
posed route from Carthage to Kos
eiusko will put up the remaining $780,
300.
