seIenium: The Mirade Worker.

J. 8. Newman, in st. Nicholas Magazine.
Now we. are ready to explain what
selenium will be able to do In q practical
way for mankind.
Already we are able to send the human
voice thousands of miles by means OF
ing great distances away by means Of an
Ingenious electrical instrument. called the
telautosraph.. selcnium enables us to
transmit photographs over wires, just as
instrument used for this purpose is called
the telephotograph by is inventor. Pro
lessor Korn.s apparatas is not new. It
has been known to us for many years.
however, recent improvements have
brought 1t more seriously before the pub
He.
Nc attempt will be made here to give
a detailed description, Of the device. In
brief, however. a pinhole beam of light

moves across the record. The reflection

tiny metal plates separted by very thin
layer of selenium. tn intensity Of this
whether it travels over a light spot or a
dark SPOT on the photograph. The selen-
ium is affected by this varying light and
rent to pass through it for each variation
of light. This constantly changing cur
rent may be sent many miles through
wires, and, by means of ingenious instru-
~
photograph with. great exactness.
Already certain European newspapers
have installed acknowledgements and are
able to reproduce, pictures and photo
graphs taken hundreds of miles awaN n
few moments after they are taken. The
identification of criminals can be made
to precede them in every town and village
to which they may be likely to flee.
Countless uses will be made of this
wonderful device. We shall all live to
see the time when American newspapers
VIII be able to print photographs taken
on the very day of their publication in
far of Europe or Africa.
But a greater and more amazing thing
has been predicted. Some day, by means
OF a combination. OF the telephotograph
and the motion picture. we may be able
to sit TN auditoriuns and actually watch
events taking PLACE at the IDENTICAL mo-
ment in places miles away. Californians
will be able to witness a presidential in
auguration In Washington. a boat race
IN the Hudson, or a battle between war
ring nations ct the very momen these
things are taking place. 1t is far from
impossible; 1t is probable.
And all because nature provided US
thousands Of years ago with that evil
smiling brown powder-selenium."
