or without wires. Finally, to effect a
topographic reconstruction of the
Image.
5 THE first thing to do is to cut the
picture up into tiny squares, each one
OF which has the tone Of the part of
the image in which 1t is situated
which tone is represented by a con-
ventional figure serving for it's tele-
graphic transmission. But this process,
which has the inconvenience of being
slow and uncertain, has been happily
replaced by Mr.. Mortier by the follow
ing, which may be called automatic:
The picture to be transmitted is
first printed in an enlarged form sus-
ceptible of easy analysis. This ana
iytic print has two valuable properties
first, 1t is naturally cut up by a grill
lage of fine lines; secondly, the
less gray or transparent elements
whose tone cannot be evaluated nu-
merically, nor as groups of points
whose light value can be stated in
numbers only after laborious meas
urement, but rather as black sill
houettes against white ground or vice
versa. of forms so diversified as to
embrace an extended scale of shades
and SO striking as to be identified at
sight.
These expressive figures arise spon-
taneously in the course of the manipu-
lations, simple enough, that turn out
the analytic proof. BY what articles
has it been possible so to discipline
the actinic force of the light that It
shall express it's own tonalities In
characters more discernible than fig
ures? The zoned cellular transpar-
ency, a simple sheet that has been
placed in the printing frame between
the original negative and the sensitive
paper, before the printing of the ana
lytic proof operates this miracle by
Itself alone. At first sight this trans
parent sheet shows a simple marking
in squares, but under the microscope
the appearance of the network gives
place to an arrangement of square
cells sof complex structure which re-
produce exactly the typical outlines
of the symbolic silhouettes of the pre-
ceding illustration.
After the preparation of the print,
the analysis of it amounts to no more
than the simple reading of page and
the jotting down of the figures in or.

IMAGE SENT BY WIRE.
Recent French Invention That
Opens Great Possibilities.
Photographs Can Be Sent by TeIe-
graph With Great Accuracy and
Some Speed Whenever Nee
essary Apparatus Exists.

Paris.-It has been possible for
some time to send photographs by
wire with great accuracy and some
speed, wherever the necessary appa-
ratus exists. Such transmission has
for a year or so formed part of the
regular Paris service of an enterpris-
Ing London journal. Suppose, however,
that reporter finds himself at a
country telegraph station and desires
to send to his paper picture of some
kind in connection with his story
portrait, or the photograph of some
building or locality. He is evidently
no better off than he would have been
a century ago. A recent process, how
ever, the invention of a French en-
gineer named Mortier, would make 1t
possible for him to send his picture
over single wire, with the aid of the
ordinary Geographic Instrumentation
rather, 1t would enable him to tele-
graph data from which the picture
could be built up at the receiving sta
ton. This process is described by r..
Bounin In La Nature, where we read:
"Mortier's process requires neither
costly and delicate apparatus nor any
peculiar installation, nor special
wire. 1t will work anywhere, using
under normal conditions the existing
Geographic plant of the smallest To-
calitfes and without the least inter-
ference with its ordinary administra-
ton.
What was necessary to obtain this
result? First, to take up in a new

lation of images into a series Of num-

Hope, Faith and Love.

There are three lessons would write;
Three words as with burning pen,
In tracing of eternal light
Upon the hearts of men.
Have hope. Though clouds environ snow
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put through the shadow from my brow,
No night but hath its morn.
Have faith. Where'er thy bark is driven,
The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth
Know this-God rules the hosts of heaven
The inhabitants of earth.
Have love. Not love alone for one,
But men, as men thy brothers call,
And scatter, like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul
Hope, faith and love-and thou shalt fint
Strength when life's surges rudest roll,
Light when thou else vert blind.
Frederick Won Schiller.

How Not to Write a Letter

Carelessness is responsible for poor
results from form letters many times.
This may take the form Of careless
ness in statements made, in the ap-
pearance of the letter, in errors in
mailing. and in dozens of other es-
sentials.
Illustrating carelessness in b e
form to be sent is the following ex-
tract from from a form letter sent
by medical company to man who
inquired about a preparation they
manufactured which they advertised
would put on flesh. Their error
was SO glaring that it made the let
ter a joke-and beware misapplied
humor, for it doesn' tsecure business.
Remember until the discovery of
Blank, nothing has ever been known
which could be depended upon to
put ten, fifteen and even thirty
pounds of firm stay there tissue.
Think a.moment W hat it would
mean to you to have even fifteen
pounds addedto your present weight.
Fifteen pounds well distributed over
your figure will mean plump, full
face free frpm lines and burrows,
we'll roundedarms and neck, firm
bust, enough upholstery" upon the
hips SO that you can endure to sit for
hours uponIa hard seat. Fifteen
pounds will fnean legs, not drum
sticks.
Excuse oq, frankness; this is
confidential letter, there is no need
of mincing matters just between us
two.
In view olthe fact that this re-
markable fink letter was beaded
in"very clealy with the gentleman's
name, it is nit surprising that he felt
] inclined to Inder whether the Joke
was on him I. 1.-THE sender. Conclud-

"a better and stronger home and in
time another comes and shares it
with him. To this couple several
children were born, all Of which to-
day have ever been upright, honest,
bard working, American citizens,
except one, who is unworthy to be
called their son.
When Uncle Sam called for vol
unteers, these young men gladly
offered their lives to their fathers
adopted country. And today where
once there stood log hut there
now stands pleasant humble home,
facing the main street of a thriving
city numbering some ten thousand
souls. The same being mostly built
by those who came from that little
spot across the sea.
As rule the Germans are the
most wanted, ard are considered
the best class of immigrants in the
United States today. Most all of
them are hard-working honest, up
right sturdy men, and their goods
sell on sight. [ wish the members
to take this statement as / mean it
when | say: There are 10 better
class of people in the world than
the honest upright immigrant who
comes here to better his condition;
for on account of them has it alone
been possible to make this country
what it is today.
Just t hink where Milwaukee
would be if it had not been for the
sturdy sons from the Fatherland.
And what would we do, if all Of the
protectors Of peace would go back
to Ireland? And if all the foreign
ers would return to their native
lands Uncle Sam would have an
awful time looking for an American.
The Indian reservation would be
his last hope, and we doubt, at this
time, if one could be found willing
enough to admit being full blooded
American.
How then can any one make the
statement that the Americans lead
the world in all branches of indus
try without including foreigners
from all parts Of the world?
By careful study you will find
that its not the ones born under the
American flag that control the big
gest of the industries in this coun-
try, but that it is those who were
born in foreign land. 1t takes all
classes of people to make world,
and were it not so, we perhaps
would not be here today.
We are all foreigners in one way
for we have proven false to our
selves and to the land that we called
home.
In closing | might say that the
only reason a large number of ar
ticles made only by Americans can
be sold today, is because it has that
little trade mark" Made in Ger

EARLY DAYS
A. F.. b.

~.
PaDer Read Before the Chautauoua circle:
Some fifty years ago. a young
German had left the shores of the
Fatherland and finally arrived in
the United States. Disembarking
at Castle Garden, which at that
time was the landing place for i'm
migrants and after passing through
the hands of those who look after
the immigrants. he. with number
Of others, left for the state Of Illi-
nois, there to engage in farm work.
AT this work the young man con-
tinued for the period Of FIVE years,
at the end of which time he. who a
short time ago had been classed as
foreigner, was now citizen of the
United States.
Furthermore he had saved during
those five years, money enough to
enable him to start out in business
for himself.
We next find him in the state of
Minnesota, then almost wilderness
sparsely settled and full Of rowing
bands of the war-like Sioux and
others.
Undaunted the young man pur-
chased small tract of land and on
it built rude log cabin. His near
est neighbors lived some seven miles
away, still he did not lack for COM
pany for the Indians were ever
near,
Many night the entire space Of
the small cabin was taken up by
them. who came unlimited and who
helped themselves to what ever
suited their taste or fancy. Many a
night the young man went supper
less to bed and in doing SO won the
good viii of the red men, which in
after years stood him in good stead.
Many a time also the Indians, after
a successful days hunt, would re-
turn to the cabin and leave pltnti-
full supply.
Settlers were few in those days
and the Indians were not only
friendly but grateful and kind.
And SO the years sped on until
one-never-to-b -be-forgotten day, the
young settler was rudely taken from
his home, the clothing stripped from
his body, which was then painted
black, after which he was forced to
dance for hours in order to save his
life. The Indians were on the war
path and had devastated the whole
country east of the Mississippi,
burning and killing all whom they
came across.
For many weary days the captive
was forced to march with the In
dians and many were the times
when death would have been re-
lief, especially W b en- struggling
bands of the most blood thirsty say
ages would return to camp at night
and display the bloody scalps in tri-
umph, many of which the captive
recognized as belonging to some of
his neighbors.
No doubt all Of the members of
this circle have read of the New
