TELEPHOTO LONG
DISTANCE MIRROR
Inventor Transmits Pictures as Tele-
phone Sends Voices.

Paris, July 16. - An invention for
transmitting sight by wire, just as
sound Is transmitted by telephone was
described today to the French Academy
of Science by Prof Gabriel Lipmann,
who read a paper in the remarkable
instrument designed by George Rig
noux and by him called the telephota.
The discovery is based in the prop
critics of selenium, which resists cleo
trio currents in proportion to the in
tensity of light thrown upon 1t. Rough
ly outlined, the process consists OF
throwing a powerful light upon the OBJ
feet to be transmitted. This light falls
on a disc composed of selenium cells.
An electric current is passed through
the cells, which correspond to the
points of light on the object. These
are collected by a rotary cylinder and
then transmitted by wire and repro
duced by mirrors on a screen at the
other end.
Prof Lippmann of the University OF
Paris obtained the Nobel prize in 1so9
fo- hysics in recognition of his dis
cover les in optics and color photo

LOVE LAUGHS
AT LOCKSMITHS
Jim Gordon Breaks Door To Find
His Lille.

Jim Gordon, a gentleman of color, is
so enamored Of Lille B. Lowe, well
known in police court circles as a
blind tiger, that he is willing to go to
Jail for her. In fact, Jim is not only
in jail but is there on two charges and
cannot be brought to court because
of several slashes into his flesh by
the knife of Henry Allen.
The trouble started night before last
when Lille got out of patience with
Jim and spurned him. Jim, determined
not to be spurned, attacked Lille and
was arrested for assault and battery.
Lille took refuge in the home of Laura
Bolton, but no little assault charge
and no place of refuge could keep Jim
from Lille, SO he broke Laura's door
down and went in. Henry Allen was
there, too, and claims that Jim was
armed. Anyway, Henry got all the
best of the fight that followed and
Jim got the knife slashes. Jim was
then re-arrested on the charge of ma
licious mischief and Henry was taken
by the county authorities, charged
with assault and battery. Jim's case
is expected to be tried in city court
tomorrow.
The mayor this morning sentenced
Ben Brewer, negro, to thirty days on
the streets for stealing from the Mer
chants Grocery Co. If his bondsman
fails to produce him the bond will be
declared forfeited.
Henry Gaines, a negro, was fined 81
for discharging firearms in the city
limits.

jackson, Miss, July 1S.-E. d. Fon-

bill of fees and costs in the Bilbo case,
amounting to something over $4,000.
This account will be rendered to the
County of Warren, in which the case
originated, and which. according to
statute. is charged with the payment
of all costs and expenses.
This cost bill for one case almost
doubled the expenses of the term
chargeable to Kinds county, and ex
cites considerable sympathy for the
county treasury, which is thus struck
for such a heavy expense bill.

SANITARY COMMISSIONER d.
REcTs HIS FORCES AGAINST
DlSEAsE-BEARING INSECT.
DRY SPELL HAS GIVEN
PEOPLE The ADVANTAGE
Stagnant Pools and WeIIs-Pour Oil
on All stasnant Water, He Advises.

The mosquito must go. That is the
edict of Sanitary Commissioner Caper-
ton, who has directed his forces against
the disease-bearing insect and who
urges the citizens generally to cooper
ate with the city administration in
their efforts to exterminate the pest.
The people have a good deal on the
mosquito this year. The long, dry spell
dried up most of the breeding places
and only within the last few days have
mosquitoes begun to be at all numerous.
Now Is the time to kill them, and Com
missioner Caperton says if the people
will cooperate with him, it will be pos
sible to almost, if not entirely eliminate
the mosquito, and with it malaria and
other diseases which it brings with
its sting.
All that is necessary to secure this
result, says Mr.. Caperton, is for each
res, .ent to take care of his own prem.
ises. Mr.. Caperton and City Sanitary
Health Officer s. P. Wood are keeping
close watch on the open places and
wherever suspicious looking pool is
found, disinfectant is promptly poured
on it. 1t is impossible, however, for
the city administration to watch resi-
dental property closely and for this
reason they appeal to property owners
to keep their own premises clean.
Oil stagnant Water.
'If there Is any stagnant water IN
your yard" says Mr.. Caperton, "it Is
your duty to buy little disinfecting
oil and pour on it. This oil, which can
be bought at cheap price at nearly
any of the drug stores, will kill every
mosquito and prevent any more breed
ing in that pool until the oil has been
washed away.
"The time to go after the mosquito
is now. We have already disinfectet
all the places which are not supposed
to be cared for by private citizens ant
we will continue to watch these places
and see that no mosquitoes are bred
there.
"The places where mosquitoes breed
worse" says Mr.. Caperton, "are the
pools that are surrounded by weeds
Along sandy creek banks, for instance
it is practically impossible for the mos
quito to breed, but when any pool o
water is surrounded by weeds o.
marshy ground, mosquitoes are certail
to result unless oil is poured on thu
water"

Washington, July 16.-President VIII.
son will not recognize Provisional
President Carbijal or any other govern
ment in Mexico not set up through
legal election or in accordance with
Niagara Falls Portocol. The watchful
waiting policy is to be continued.
The President is understood not TO
object to Carbajal personally, but
simply because he derives his power
through Huerta's administration.
Officials believe that the entry of the
constitutionalists into Mexico City will
be peaceful. They also believe that
no country will recognize Carbajai
government until the United States
signifies its intention of taking such a
step. Hence the constitutionalists will
be careful in further methods of pro-
ceedure.

We do not always agree with his
methods of bringing about those
things but we do recognize his SER
vice to his country. The world is
better for his zeal, his honesty and
his courage. He has returned
home, according to reports not in

COACH Nc AVOY'S SUCCESS

Nineteen fourteen has without
question been the greatest III the
history of Delaware College. Ideas,
once hooted at, have been projected
into realities. The College stands
today III closer relation to the State
than ever before in us history. 1t
is a State, not a local, institution,
and at last is becoming so recogniz-
ed. lmbued with the service idea,
the College is taking the lead in
fact as we'll as in theory, in all mat
ters Of education. Under the new
charter, the College stands by act
Of the General Assembly at the
head Of the school system, And
not only is this an act of Legisla.
ture, it is becoming a reality.
Prominent among these innova-
tlons, stands the work Of Coach
McAyOy. Selling the advantages
offered by the Frazer Field he
started last fall to get all Delaware
interested i'll College Athletics. In
vitati0ns issued to the Chamber of
Commerce, the New Castle County
and Wilmington High Schools
brought host of visitors. They
were surprised, interested, and
went away friends of the institu-
ton. Friends, because they saw
and recognized for the first time the
opportunities and advantages Of
fered here. Again on last Sattlr-
day, Coach McAvoy made Della
ware College the interested subject
of discussion in every high school
III the State. In school conversa-
tions this week the institution is
spoken Of with more favor than
ever before. The Athletic Meet
was the event of the year. Repre-
sentatives from the Peninsula who
visited us were made to feel that
the College was theirs and that the
Meet was only an Introduction to
future events when they should
the Varsity as students.
To arrange such an event was an
enormous amount of work crowd
ed with the most exacting details.
Without taking any credit from
the Athletic Council, be it under
stood that every point had to pass
under the eye of the Coach.
1t was an interesting sight to
see all Delaware assembled at
lunch in the gymnasium, attend
ed by College boys serving well
both guests and Alma Mater.
