PICTURE TELEGRAPHY
By DIR. EdwinE. Slosson

Whenever an author writes a no.
nance of Utopian life some centuries
in the future he introduces as one oil
the marvellous inventions of that per.
iod an instrument for seeing what is
going on at a distance. Uusally it is
modelled after the telephone with a
disk in which one can see mirrored the
scene at the other end of the wire.
do not remember that any of these
nevelists of the twenty-frst century
and after have dared to disregard the
wire, which shows how difficult It is
nowadays for the imagination to get
ahead of the facts. Already we hear
that wireless pictures and wireless
movies viii be added to the wireless
telephone.
But even though long distance pho
Biography is slow to enter into broad
casting, it will be a great thing for
illustrated journalism. News comes
now by wire and the pictures follow
by slow freight, arriving usually a
week or so after people have lost in
terest in the event. This places too
much of strain on the editors con-
science. He is sometimes unable TO
resist the temptation to put a stock
cut to a new use or to touch up a
photograph.
When Father Gapon led his process
sion to their death in Petersburg
on Bloody Sunday in the first Russian
revolution the American papers came
out with half a dozen different por-
traits of him, all TYPICAL Ruseia- rev.
olutionists; any one % tier right
have looked like him, but unfor m ate
ly none of them did. When SanFran-
cisco was burning, the most enter
prising Of the New York papers pub
lished a photograph Of the city in
flames with very natural looking
smoke rolling up from it. Unfortun-
ateIy the staff artist who adapted it
neglected to erase the date Of the copy
right, which was several years before
the catastrophe. During the Great War
the press photographers were able TO
produce from stock rooms the portrait
of any general whose name was cabled
over.

THE RELIGIOUS SERVANT

A well-known bishop relates that
while on recent visit to the South
he was in a small country town, where
owing TO the scarcity Of good servants,
most of the ladies preferred to do
their own work.
He was awakened quite early by the
tones of soprano voice singing" Near
er, My God, to Thee" AS the bishop
lay in bed he meditated upon the piety
which his hostess must possess which
enabled her to go about her task early
in the morning singing such a noble
hymn.
At breakfast he spoke to her about
it and told her how pleased he was.
"0h, Lor'," she replied, "that's the
hymn boil eggs by; three verses for
soft and five for hard "
