 A device to enable a person on one side of the world actually to see what 1E gong on LAOuSaIGS aO4 4AAAACS HWeAy has just been invented by a Berlin engineer, pr. J. Michel Schrnierer. Dr. Schmierer has long been working. with many other investigators, on the problem of transmitting photographs and pictures by telegraph, but in his results he has unexpectedly gone a stage farther than the other picture transnftters. At the sending end of his wire he uses camera, the lens of which can be pointed at any de- sired object or scene The light rays are thrown on a screen which di- vides the picture up into light points of varying brightness. These points are in turn thrown on q sensitive plate treated with selenium and are converted into variations of the elec- tric current. At the receiving end, which may be half way around the world. this current becomes light of varying brf1liancy, and by mirror ar rangement the picture is reproduced much like the newspaper half-tone, in dots Of varying sizes and frequency. In the shadows of the picture these dots are crowded closely together t9 only rarely. if at all, in the high lights of the original scene. The transmitted picture is therefore far fruer to nature than in the earlier process of transmission, in which the picture was reproduced in lines of varying thickness.
