It Is announced that ho has perfected an apparatus which will" not only 'transmit pictures by wire , but which will transmit moving Images In all of their natural colors , That Ifi , the " .nparatus la so all-eufllclcnt In operation that If a man were to bow to the transmitter In New York , his Image in the act of bowing would be reproduced on a ecrcen In Chicago , or in any other city to which the line might extend. His facial ex pression , his clothes , his very wink , would be accurately transmitted. Indeed , It would Rccm that at last we are to bo able to see' by wire , and a detailed description of the apparatus shows ttiat the performance la , after all , a very simple one. An English patent attorney eays that Hcrr Szczepanlk , the Inventor of the pro cess , haa been offered over fl.000,000 for the right lo exhibit the apparatus In 'the Paris exhibition of 1900. It Is also raid that the Inventor perfected his thepry of how Images and colors could bo pent by wire TIBS REPRODUCING .APPARATUS AT WORK. In ono night. This Is indeed wonderful , in view of the facts that Alexander Gra ham Bell has been at work on a similar process ever since ho perfected the tele phone , and that Amstutz four years ago published the results of his very conclusive researches in the field of visual telegraphy. However , the cardinal claim made for the new Invention is that moving images may really be seen In a glass hundreds of nil let ; away from the Initial point of trans mission , and that their colors are also re produced very naturally. It really partakes of the spirit of that wonderful mirror of fairyland , which had to be breathed upon merely in order to produce any wlshed-for scene. And the second part of the proposi tion seems to contain the germ of an Idea for photographing In colors. THE MAGICAL MIRRORS. The process appears to be very compli cated at first glance , but It is , after all , 'APPARATUS ' FOR TRANSMITTING PIC- TURB3 'BY ' W1RK. quite simple. The Inventor , In order to- prepare his Images for transmission , found It necessary to split or break them up Into Esrles of dots. Ho accomplished this In a peculiar manner. He procured a small mirror and blackened Its surface with an opague substance. He then scratched on It rows of lines running generally In the eame direction , but not quite parallel. The lines were cut with a needle point and expcaed the reflecting surface of the mirror along each line. They were close together and when the mirror was allowed to reflect an object I tt would do so only along these lines. An I other plate was prepared upon which ilmllar llnei were drawn , only they Were made to extend crosswlm to those on the first mir ror. Now. If a largo beam of sunlight/ / were allowed to shine against the first mir ror , and then to bo reflected off against & wall , the light would bo divided Into a serlra of lines of light. Then , If before hlttln : the wall , the lines of light were al lowed to otrlke the crosswise lines of the second mirror , the result , when the light finally struck the wall , would bo rows of dots of light , because when the lines of the first mirror struck the lines of the second the beams of light would be reflected only where the llnea Intersected one another. If , while this brokcn-up beam of light was shln- Inj on the wall the two plates were to be slightly moved backward and forward , the aolo of reflection would change , as would also the places of Intersection of the lines on the Plate * , and the conseauence would bo that the dote on the wall would go dancing u'p and down and about In all directions within a small area. An arrangement ofmirrorsi , similar In principle to the above , la made to receive the Images which are to bo transmitted by wire. In one sldo of the transmitter case Is a narrow horizontal allt. Directly back of this ellt or opening Is a mirror with lines cut on It aa In the first mirror described above. Just above this mirror Is another mirror , the lines on which ere crosrnvlso to the lines on No. 1. By means of magnets and springs these mirrors are kept constantly oscillating , or moving , In all directions. The plane of reflection , In short , Is being rapidly and constantly changed. It a man were to stand In front of the opening in the box the mirror be hind the slit , as it danced up and down , would , so to speak , reflect htm successively from head to foot and from foot to head , and crosswise and obliquely , and In every other direction possible , as the glass turned or. oscillated about. This constantly chang ing reflection of the man would be passed on to the other mirror , which hangs Just above the first. This second mirror Is also kept moving about , or changing the piano of Its reflection. The moving reflection of the man In the first mirror was , as has been stated , broken up into lines , and when it struck the crossllncs of the second mirror it necessarily became dots , so that a con stantly changing scries of dots of light , showing the reflection of the man outside , Is now projected into the upper part of the box or transmitter. Of course , all the colors of his coL > tumc are reflected , as well as the shape of his body. COLORS IN ELECTRIC CURRENTS. In the top of the box , behind a small par tition. Is a resistance cell or plate made of selenium. Selenium Is a very sensitive sub stance. If a current of electricity Is sent through It It will resist the passage of the current , and cut It down , according to the temperature and the light In which It may happen to. be. For instance , if an electric current Is passing through a piece of selenium while a red light Is shining on It , the quantity of current which will finally get through will be very different from whal it would bo If the selenium were to be placed In blue light. This very sensitive charac teristic of selenium is taken advantage of to transmit pictures by wire. The dots of light , which really form the imago to be trans mitted , are allowed to play through a nar row slit In the partition against th : selenium cell lntho top of the box. The selenium is part of the circuit or wire through which the picture la to be transmitted. This cir cuit may , for all practical purposes , be hun dreds of miles long. An electric current is made to flow through it , and , consequently , through the selenium. Now the reflection ol the man ouUldo the box , with all the colors of his costume , is being projected constantly against the selenium In the top of the box , and this rapid Interchange of color is causing the electric current which flows through the selenium to vary constantly in atcength as the different colors In the reflection affect the resistance of the selenium. It therefore follows that an electric current Is easily ob tained , the strength of which depends en tirely on the nature of the color which Is projected against' the selenium. The trans mission of colors , or , at least , the trans mission of their equivalent in electric cur rents , Is what has been accomplished. Having accomplished the feat of sending colors , or their equivalents , by telegraph , It now became necessary to separate the vari ous parts or Intensities of this varying current , and to resolve them Into colors again at the other end of the line. In short , just as the selenium was able to change colors Into their equivalents In currc-nt , pop- ularly speaking , so must some method be 5,000 WEAK MEN were restored last year to manly vizor by my wonderful Invention , tn < j Dr. Bandcn Electric Belt and Suspensory , now used the world over for all results of youthful errors , nervousness , drains , impotcncy , weak back , varlcocele , et < ? .

Write to-day , Dm him us YBARS found of changing those currents back Into their equivalent color * . It was done In the following manner : Tbo line which trans mitted all of these Tarjrlng current ! ended at the receiver In a cell which formed an electro-magnet. When the selenium allowed heavy currents to flow over the wire the electro-magnet became very powerful. When weak currents flowed over the line the electromagnet tro-magnet became weak. In front of the core of this magnet a largo prism was placed. It hung In a horizontal position , and moved on & pivot. Attached to It was a piece of sot Iron , This Iron was naturally affected by the magnet , and caused the prism to move backward or forward as strong or weak urrents flowed from the selenium at the ther end of the line. HOW THE SPECTRUM IS UTILIZED. It la a well known fact that If a etrong APPARATUS FOR riBOEIVINa PICTURES 1JY WIRE. > cam of light la projected through a prism ho latter will separate the various rays of hat light and spread them , out In the form f a spectrum or band of colored light. All C the reds In the beam will bo shown at ono nd1of the spectrum , all of the bluea at the other end , with the Intermediate colors bo- wcen. In the receiver of Szczepanlk's op- > aratus a powerful Incandescent lamp was ilaccd Just back of the prism , which moved > n a pivot. Naturally , the prism took up ho beam of the electric light and separated t Into a spectrum or band of light , -with ho reds at one end of the band and the blues at the other end. This band of vari- > usly colored light shone against a partition n the upper part of the receiving apparatus. There was a narrow silt In this partition , ut so that only ono color of the band of Iglit could shine through at a time. By moving the prism backward and forward It was easy to start at one end of the colored beam of light and make first the red lights liino through , and so on along the beam until the blue or violets were reached. Now , when the selenium In the first ap paratus was affected by red light , and a current corresponding In strength to red was thercforo allowed to flow through the vlre , the second apparatus was so adjusted hat the electro-magnet would turn the prism around until only blue light was allowed to shlno through the silt. So that , If the nan who stood before the transmitter wore a blue necktie , and the blue of that tie was eflected by the mirrors against the eelen- um , the latter would Immediately cut down ho current so that the prism would be urnetl around until only blue could shlno hrough the silt. If his necktie had been red the prism would bo turned until only red could shine through the silt. Thus It vlll be seen that the more fact of trany- mlttlng colors became a comparatively easy matter. In the lower part of the receiver were two mirrors exactly similar In size , construction and action to the two mirrors n the transmitter , and from these the col ors are thrown on a screen. HOW THE IMAGES ARE ? FORMED. But the question will now be asked : GranUac ttiat it Is possible to transmit nlaln colors by telegraph , how Is It possible n make these colors resolve themselves Into wooer shapes ? H9w will we know that It Is the man's necktie that Is red or blue , and' not his coat or his vest. To answer this , It must first be stated that the pair of mlrroro In the transmitter and the pair of mirrors llcht back- again aktftugh the -lit , and have It reflected ln.mr other form ( ban a triangle. The mlrMra would have to be moved before the Mftected light could 8umo any other formUhan triangle. Hence , as the mirror * In the > receiver are precisely the same In size , shape , movement , etc. , as the mlrrori In t he i transmitter , and s the Uo and position oGttho silts arc precisely the same la both OMM , It follows that the cccnd pair of mirrors must have the same reflections shot Into them as were projected nut of the first pair. It .a circle of red la reflected out of the upper portion of the first two mirrors through the ellt In the first box. a rod ! light coming from the silt In the second box could not strike the mir rors In that box anywhern but on a corresponding spending upper portion. All the other porticos ticos of the mirrors are for the moment out of focus. So , the position and eliapo of every projected Imago Is determined by the nosltlon of the mirrors , and the color of every Image Is determined by the movements of the prism. SAME PRINCIPLE AS THE KINETOSCOPE The value of cutting the reflections of the mirrors Into points now becomes apparent. The oscillating mirrors make It possible for only a very small fraction , of any Imago to bo seen at a time. For Instance , the Imago of the man standing before the transmitter Is t'hown ' successively from head to foot , or from foot to head , or' In any other di rection , but the movement Is so rapid that the optic nerve accommodates Itself to the condition and really appears to take In tila whole form at once. A wheel , for Instance , running rapidly down hill , appears to bo solid If the spokes arc very thick , whereas there Is really a great deal of open space between the spokes. The rapidly movlng. photographs Ui the klnetoecope , although' radically different ono from the other , ap pear to bo ono moving picture when flashed rapidly past the eye. Likewise , In this new system of seeing by wire , the con stantly moving succession of reflecting dots really appears to tlie'eyo ' like ono solid and moving picture. The above is , la brief , a description of the principle and theory of Herr Szczepaolk's apparatus for sending colored pictures by wire. If the Inventor has succeeded In adJusting - Justing his apparatus so as to produce the remarkable combination described above , he has Indeed accomplished something which may do as much , It not more , for civiliza tion than the klnetcscopc ; for It Is as far ahead of the Idactoscopo as the latter Is ahead of the common photograph. One may now bo able * to sit at home and see a theatrical performance which Is taking place in a far distant city. Or , as in the accom panying illustrations , a queen of the ballet can cjerform in front of a tclclectroscopo re ceiver , and have overymotlco of her grace ful form transmitted and exhibited to the delight of audiences hundreds of miles away ; and all the colors of her costume would be distinctly reproduced. It has been eug- govted that , inasmuch as the apparatus will bo installed at the Paris exposition of 1900 , many persons who will be unable to go to that great etiow will still be able to see Its varied scenes reflected through the mirrors of the telelectroscope. These , at least , are the alluring promises which are made by the projectors of the apparatus.

Between 1S95 and 1896 the salaries of the clergymen of the Church of England were diminished by 65,000. It is elated that the Salvation Army has increased In this country in the last year from 30,000 to 60,000 , and the number of posts from 594 to 737. The American Bible society during the last year distributed 767.COO volumes of thp holy scriptures In foreign lands , at an ex penditure of about $192,000. Rev.

If thr- lower mirror la the transmitter as sumed for a moment an anglo of 45.5 de- Kieea , tticn the lower mirror in the receiver assumed that exact angle at the same In stant. If the upper mirror in the transmitter momentarily assumed an angle of 42.6 de crees , the upper mirror lu the receiver also assumed thepngle of 42.C degrees at the came Instant. la short , the pairs of mlrrora move together In perfect time and In the direction ecrstantly. Now , If the two IAN SZC2EPANIK , TIKE INVENTOR. ' mirrors In the transmitter happen to b : at certain angles when they senJ a reflection through the silt ca lo the tclenlum. It fol lows ttiat If the reflection were to bo re turned to tboie eamo mlrors ag&ln through that same silt at the same Initnrt , It would naturally spread Itself over them In the mme form that It had when It first came from them.

A prominent Reman r.gtbnUs of Washing ton is thus quoted In the Philadelphia Press : "Archbishop Corrlgan has been sending large sums of money ani much food to Cuta ever since last September. Archbishop Hen- nessy of 'Dubuque ' , the wealthiest of the American hierarchy , has shipped a large cargo of flour to the Cubans.

' " Captain Silas Casey , commandant of the Leacue Island navy yard , who has become [ ranking captain in the navy , was graduated from the United States Naval academy In 1860 and was a master In the navy when the war broke out. From 1870 to 1873 ho was ; on the Colorado , then attached to the Asiatic squadron. He was In command of the bat talion of sailors from the fleet in the Corean expedition and the assault on Fort iMcKee , Seoul river , in June , 1872. Since that he has held many Important places. Before taking command of the League Island navy yard ho was captain on board .Admiral Slcnrd's flagship , the New York. All told , Captain Casey's actual sea service covers a period of nineteen years and nine months , thfco years and ono month of which were under his present commission. Speaking of the late Charles B. Wright , formerly president of the Northern Pacific railroad , the Philadelphia Ledger says : "He was the founder. In fact , of Tacoma , the western terminus of the road , although that honor Is shared , In a measure , with other members of the committee appointed to select a site. The committee was sent to the Pacific coast in 1S73 , and spent a week or more cruising In Puget Sound. Tncoma then was nothing but a sawmill and a few workmen's houses. He saw the natural ad vantages of the harbor and location aivl the committee reported in favor of that termi nus. Had It not been for Mr. Wright's en ergetic action as president of the railroad and land companies at a critical period the town of Tacoma , for which such a bright future had been planned , might still bo little tlo moro than a sawmill and the same set tlement of workmen's houses. " Hfagham , Mass. , Is proud of Secretary Long , according to the iflcston Transcript. "Mr. Long did not , Indeed , spring from the soil of Hlngham , but he has lived there so long and so completely Imbibed the spirit of the place that ho partakes of the character istics , beyond a doubt , of thn natives.
