SIGHT BY WIRELESS
LATEST INVENTION
You May See Your Girl
Though Many Miles Away
From Her
TELEPHONE FOR THE EYE
As Voice Sounds Are Trans.
mitted So May Be Light
Graduations.

London.-The annihilation of space
by the wonders of modern science has
been carried step forward by the
latest scientific discovery. What the
telephone has done in the transmits
sion of sound Is now epualed by an
invention for the transmission of light
by wire.
The new invention enables the i'm
age of any object to be transmitted
and reproduced before the eyes of a
spectator miles away, just as the tele-
tones of the voice.
The inventor, DR.. M. A. Low, Lon
don consulting engineer, has given a
short description of the apparatus and
method of the new wonder. The trans
mitter is a screen composed of cells
of selenium, the electrical resistance
of which varies according to the light
that touches it. Over this screen there
passes a spontaneously running roller
consisting Of number of pieces
which are alternating conductors and
insulators.
The roller is driven by a motor of
5000 revolutions minute, and the re-
sulting variations of light are trans
mitted along an ordinarily conducting
wire. The receiver Is made up Of a
series of cells operated by the pas
Stats of steel and at this receiver the
object which is before the transmitter
is reproduced as Pickering image
The process is described as kline
electrical principles" The system has
been tested through resistance equiv
alent to distance Of four miles, but
in the opinion of DR.. Low there is no
reason why 1t should not be equally
effective over far greater distances.
1.-THE tones of the human voice, of
which there are hundreds of grada-
tions," says DR.. Low, can be repro
duced by wireless telephony. The
gradations of light are far simpler
than those of sound, and it should be
possible to devise wireless means
of transmission. l will commit myself

Paris.-The almost indescribable
horror of the battlefield is suggested
by a correspondent who followed in
the wake of the armies as they drew
away from Paris. Newspaper men
are vigorously excluded from the
region where fighting is or has re-
Gently been going on. But this par
ticular correspondent was invited by
Red Cross surgeon to accompany
him on visit to the theater of activ-
tiles.
1.-The. most awful carnage in the
worlds history has strewn the battle
region east and northeast of Paris
with countless thousands of rotting
French, English and German corpses
and disemboweled carcasses of
horses" the correspondent writes.
During an automobile tour have
just made of the vast battlefield be-
tween Marne and the Aisne / have
seen evidences of the pitiless charac-
ter of modern warfare far more ap-
palling than the most morbid magma
tion could picture. -.
$50 unspeakably horrible is the
scene that it is probably principally
with the object of preventing descrip-
tions becoming public and making the
whole world shudder that the French
military chiefs so vigorously exclude
war correspondents from the region.
AT an amazingly snort distance
from Paris, six days after the fighting,
bodies are piled on the roadside in
heaps, at the side of which stands a
soldier with bayonet fixed. Further
out bodies lie in all conceivable po-
sitions in bitches and fields.
'The air of these fields is over
powering. The dead are being buried
as hastily as possible; but the battle
carnage is so terrific it is impossible
to keep time with the continu-
Gus slaughter.
"Near Compiegne l saw pickets
feverishly packing their comrades
bodies beneath the ground. Packing
is the only word for it. Trenches $50
yards long are dug in meadows. The
bodies, each resting on its side, are
then tightly packed like sardines
throughout the length. Above them
are placed another row of corpses laid
on their backs. The trenches are then
covered in. All passersby see in the
fields are streaks of fresh earth, each
one meaning 300 bodies more or less.
''How appalling has been the toll
of guns last week is wildly shown by
the immense number of these CHASTITY
slashes in soil to be seen within two
or three hours automobile run OF
Paris.
"The grave diggers make long
ditch in the middle of the meadow
then collect all the dead soldiers lying
within 200 or 800 yards, then move
400 or 500 yards away, making new

iating from 800 to 400 yards from the
common grave.
"The only preparation of the bodies
for the grave was to remove the little
tag containing a number worn around
the neck of each soldier. These are
collected together and sent to the
headquarters of each brigade every
day.
"The dead soldier is only number,
but his name is thus ascertained, and
in the official reports of casualties the
distinction made between the dead and
"missin." Names not answering to
roll call after each days battle are
accounted for as missing, unless the
name and number has turned up in
some of the field hospitals.
Familiarity with these acres and
acres of common graves along the
beautiful valleys of the Marne, the
Disc and the Aisne soon breeds in
difference. After travelling for miles
along roads literally lined with bodies
many still in positions occupied at
