AMAZING CLAIM
Asserts He Can Visualize Ob
jects at a Great Distance
AS FAR AS 20000 MILES
Rochester N Y Inventor Has a
Televisualizer With Which Ho Be
lieves He Can Perform Marvels
Will Reproduce Color Effects Di
mensions and Movements
The Invention wJch I hnve made
and the apparatus which I have suc
ceeded In putting together are suffi
cient for me to make the assertion that
I can visualize an object at a distance
of thousands of miles The object can
be seen with Its properties of color ef
fects dimensions and movements and
will be equal to the original with the
exception that the object Itself cannot
be felt with the fingers
Such Is the remarkable claim made
by William Vincent Pruscino a young
Italian living at 72 South Union street
Rochester N Y
Pruscino Is not very communicative
about Ills invention so far as going
into details Is concerned At present
he will deal only In generalities as to
just what his device really is He
fears that some one will steal his in
vention He was so oppressed by the
thought of such a calamity that he
even destroyed his model after he had
given a demonstration for his own
benefit Now he says that he has re
ceived financial support and he is en
gaged In reconstructing the model pre
paratory to having It entered and re
corded at the patent office
Telegraph Wires Used
The actual demonstrations made by
me not many weeks ago said Prus
cino recently have completely satis
fied me that seeing at the distance of
ten or twenty thousand miles is no
more an Impossibility but on the con
trary it is absolutely possible I re
peat that thanks to my experiments
I have succeeded in demonstrating this
to my complete satisfaction
Televisualizer is the name thai
Pruscino has given his device While
he will not tell anything about its ex
act nature he admits that telegrapb
wires have to be used and that per
sons objects and scenes can only be
visualized where the necessary appa
ratus is set up at both points which
would correspond in telegraphy to the
sending and receiving points The
televisualizer however is not a sys
tem b sending portraits by telegraph
Pruscino claims much more for his in
vention as he says he can reproduce
the color movement and various di
mensions of the scene
Some of Its Possibilities
Among the things that will be ren
dered possible by this mode of seeing
says Pruscino is for instance the
first night in a European theater by a
person sitting In a New York theater
auditorium or if a Xew Yorker should
like to attend a masquerade in Bue
nos Aires well I could not guar
antee that he could join in the fun but
he would have the whole scene repro
duced before him as vividly as if he
were actually present
Battle scenes could no doubt be re
produced within a fraction of a second
in the same manner unless the cannon
balls happened to strike the instruc
ments There is no limit to what can
be reproduced All that is necessarj
is to have the apparatus set up at the
scene which it is desired to bring be
fore the eye and the necessary appara
tus at the other end to visualize it
TO SNAP HALLEYS COMET
Special Camera Set Up to Picture It
as It Crosses the Sun
A special astronomical camera has
been set up at Honolulu which is ex
pected to catch some interesting pic
tures of Halleys comet when on May
18 it completes its 3100000000 mile
trip around the sun and begins a sim
ilar journey all over again
Dr John H Brashear who told re
cently at Pittsburg of providing the
camera said that on May IS the head
of the comet would cross the solar
disk and the phenomenon would be
plainly visible in the Pacific ocean It
will take the comet but fifty eight min
utes he said to cross the suns face
and at that time it will be possible to
determine how much solid matter is
in the comets nucleus for all solid
- portions over ten miles in diameter
will be indicated by shadowed spots
against the suns background The
comet on that day will be only 15000
000 miles away from the earth and
consequently will be brighter than at
any other time The experiments In
Honolulu are being made by the Amer
ican Astronomical and Astrophysical
society

WOMENS BUSINESS COURSE
How Julia Ward Howe Plans to Com
bat High Cost of Living
Mrs Julia Ward Howe has started
among Boston women a movement to
study applied economics relating espe
cially to the increased cost of living
It is her hope that this movement will
become national and will be considered
seriously by women throughout the
United States It was launched at a
aa
JULIA WABD HbWE
meeting of the New England Womens
club of which Mrs Howe has been
the head for many years
Mrs Howe says her attention was
directed to the agitation of the high
cost of living and that she decided that
f women are not able to cope with finan
cial matters and cites for example
women left with property to manage
and no knowledge of finance or busi
ness
Mrs Howe believes that women
should understand credit as applied to
business methods since so much of the
trading of today is done on credit and
how far that principle is responsible
for the increased cost of living She
believes that if this movement is suc
cessful a great amount of the reproach
laid at the door of women for being
unbusinesslike would be done away

New Use For Glass Eye
A New Yorker says that he knows a
man with a glass eye who makes it
pay for itself many times over The
man goes abroad several times a year
and buys jewels as a side issue He
puts one or two of the best stones in
his eye and so smuggles them through
the custom house safely
When We Meet Halleys Comet
When In May we meet the comet
What think you will hit us from it
Will the old earth bump its head and see
some stars
Comets so at such a rate
Is it safe to have a date
With a traveler so likely to leave scars
When we strike the comets tail
Shall we have a bargain sale
On account of all the remnants floating
round
Will spark plugs be any cheaper
Shall we find our gas bills steeper
Can we get our stock of fireworks from
the ground
J Will its carbon diamonds send us
5 Will its iron courage lend us
Will its sodium salt the sea more when it
i falls
Will It shower a lot of rocks
Giving us magnetic shocks
What will be the card it leaves us when
it calls
