WOMEN OF EGYPT ARE ACTIVE
Interest in Affairs Outside OF Home
Draws Comment From High
Commissioner.

London.-Egyptian women are at
last beginning to take an interest in
public affairs, particularly in the
schools. Viscount Miner in his re-
port as high commissioner Of Egypt,
says that no change in that country in
the last few years is more striking
than the awakening interest Of women
in affairs outside of the home.
The commissioner added that few
years ago it was rare to find moth
er showing a direct personal interest
in the welfare of her daughter at
school. All this was left to the ia.
Their, who often had to overcome the
mothers opposition to the education
Of her daughter,
During the last few years these
conditions have changed in the larger
towns where mothers noW visit the
schools and discuss their daughters
progress with the head teacher" SAID
the report.
This change is attributed by the
high commissioner largely to educa
ton, and he predicts that its infiu
ence will be potent on the future prog
ress Of educational development il
Egypt.

EFFICIENCY SHOWN IN TESTS
Four Pictures Are Sent From New

New York.-The first American dem
,onstration Of the teleostereograph, the
invention of Edouard Belin of Paris,
was held when four photographs were
wired between this city and st. Louis.
Each of the pictures went the 1000
miles In abou. eight minutes, the mega

ness.
The tests were between the office OF
the World and the editorial rooms Of
the st. Louis Post Dispatch and were
conducted by Mr.. Belin who came to
New York at the invitation of Ralph
Pulitzer, proprietor Of the World.
Efficiency Is Demonstrated.
"The instrument has demonstrated
its efficiency and utility" Mr.. Pulitzer
said after the experiment, ''and I am
quite satisfied with the tests"
"Do you intend to introduce the
.teleostereograph in American journal
| ism?" he was asked.
"Well, l am hoping to-" he said, "but
of course it has not quite reached the
| practical stage yet"
| About seventy-tive scientists, wire
experts and newspaper men gathered
to witness the trial. Mr.. Belin anc
several assistants had the instrument
all set up and special wires between
the two cities were waiting.
