May Have Solved Old Problem.

A German scientist claims to have
solved the problem Of transmitting
photographs under the ocean by cable.
His process, If successful, represents
the solution of an old problem. Photo
graphs have long been transmissible
by telegraph by the use Of selenium, a
metal whose electrical resistance va
ries with the intensity Of the light

cable work has never been perfected
hitherto, because of the extreme feeble
ness Of the electric current that must
pass through thousands Of miles Of
wire without relay. The new process
is said to make use of the selenlum
principle and an elaborate system Of
relays ut each end.

Love Ballad, Called IT'S Never
Too Late to be Sorry"

A new song has just appeared which
love tales. II is called: Its Never Too
Late To Be Sorry" and is n tribute to
woman's loyalty her resignation and her
fidelity for the man she has chosen.
Some of the lines Of the song are quite
poetical One verse runs:
II watched a sweet rose droop and die
For want of rain, and wondered why
The rain drops when at last they came
Could not restore its bloom again.
You're like the rose, I'm like the rain,
You wanted me and called in vain
And then follows the music which seems
To be really catchy
