Was Eight Minutes.

The photograph Of an Indian chief,
laying on a desk in the offices OF the
st. Louis Post Dispatch, was trans
mitted by wire to the editorial rooms
of the New York World recently in
just eight minutes,
That picture, which accompanies
this story, is the visible record OF
the first successful attempt ever
made in America to transmit photo
graphs over a wire, and the first
demonstration Of the apparatus in
vented by M. Edouard Belin, eminent
French engineer and bearing the
name Of the telesterograph.
The apparatus. experts say, is
destined to come into general use
in a few years.
NJ. Belin was brought to the United
States to make his experiments by
the New York World.
The process Of receiving photo
graph is not spectacular. The room
is dark, save for the light that es-
capes at the top Of the brass cylinder
in which is the lamp making the
picture. There is the hum Of a
motor revolving under a force Of 10
volts furnished by battery, and the
rhythmic click, click of the attach
ment that cuts off for an instant the
current coming over the line at every
revolution of the receiving cylinder,
thus synchronising the machine at
the two ends Of the line.
