I M "D NEW TELEPHONE MARVEL •"OXDEHPUL THINGS BY NEW INVENTION. IketchcM run be Sent ns Well as messagesâ€" How the Appara- tus Works. The marvel of the telephone has become commonplace through daily UBage. Fresh interest, however, is likely to be aroused in its wonderful possibilities by a now invention, of which a demonstration has just been witnessed in London, England. The inventor is a German, Herr Gustay Grazanna, and his mission to England is an outcome of the new patent laws. His marvellous appar- atus has already been exhibited in Germany, where it has aroused pro- found interest. ' WITH ANY TELEPHONE. Herr Grzanna can transmit hand- writing, sketches, etc., over an or- di/iary telephone wire for very con- siderable distances and within the period of a few seconds, thug mak- ing a considerable advance on the old system of electric wiring at a distance. He uses a low tension current â€" viz., 12 volts â€" in the trans- mitting and receiving boxes. His appartus can be made an auxiliary of common telephonic communica- tion, and, therefore, its commercial utilization is ready to hand. Herr Grzanna's messages are passed through as fast as they are written, and the transmitter uses the pencil naturally. Other systems require somewhat laborious hand- ling of the transmitting mechanism, 80 that it takes about half an hour to send and receive even a short sen- tence. In fact, the Grazanna instru- ment is the autographic double of the voice in telephonic communica- tion. One can actually speak and write or draw at the same time through the same wires, the tele- phone being c* nnected with the ap paratus through a condenser of two microfarad'i USES ILLUSTRATED. Say an engineer is ordering ma- terial by telephone from a manufac- turer. He can furnish plans of the bolts, plates, rails etc., which he re- quires. Similarly, a newspaper artist c:^n sketch an event on the spot â€" a railway disaster, for in- stance â€" and transmit it to the editor hundreds of miles away, accompany- ing it with a verbal description as he draws ; or, if the correspondent be a reporter, he can make use of a photograph by tracing its outlines. In military operations maps, plans, or diagrams illustrating the enemy's movements as they unfold them- selves can be wired back to head- quarters. HOW INSTRUMENT WORKS. This wonderful system of telauto- graphy is accomplished by means of a light ray travelling over sensitized paper. The graphite pencil at the transmitter end has two electrical contacts, one for horizontal and the other for vertical movement, a curve being made up of the component pcrts of one or the other. On taking the pencil from off its rest a tiny electric glow lamp in the receiver box is conducted to a prism, from which it is reflected on to two little pivoted mirrors, one of which cor- responds with the circuit of the hor- izontal movemcnL and the other with that of the vertical. The light ray prod\iced by the mir- rors is absolutely identical with the movements nf the point of the pen- cil, and it is thrown upon the section of a spool of sensitized paper, set to receive it. By unhinging the attach- ment to the receiver box containing the photographic film, and substitut- ing a focussing glass, the evolutions of the light ray can be watched. It appears as a tiny pinhead of light, travelling in all directions over the glassâ€" really imitating exactly the handwriting of drawing of the trans- mitter. PHOTOGRAPHED MESSAGE. On laying the pencil down, the lamp is extinguished, and a little sensitized paper, on which the mos sage has just' been photographed, passes it through a chemical bath, in which it is developed, and in ten seconds the writing or sketch be- comes visible ; while another film i.s unwound from the spool and placed in position to receive the next mes- sage. The receiver has now but to cut off the film bearing the message, and "fix" it in the photographic sense. The instrument cannot lie. No mistake as to the terms of order,'! or figures is possible The transmitter has his own message as he wrote it to act as a voucher. This telauto- graph permits of one more refine- ment. A wishes to oommunicate with B y>/ tolephonn, but P. ia not at his office. All that A has to do is to write'his message. When B returns he looks at his apparatus to see if any messages have come for him during his absence. THE TOKTUKES WOMEN SUFFER Can be Relieved by Keeping the Blood Supply Rioli Witli Dr. Wiiliams* Pink Pills. A woman needs a blood building medicine regularly just because she iii a woman. From maturity to middle life, the health and happi- ness of every woman depends upon her blood, its richness and its re- gularity. If her blood is poor and watery she is weak, languid, pale and nervous. If her blood supply i.s irregular she suffers from head- aches, backaches, sideaches and the other unspeakable distress which only women know. Some wo- men have grown to expect this suffering at regular intervals and to bear it in hopeless silence. But women would escape much of this misery if they took a box or two of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to help them over each critical period. These Fills actually make new blood. They help a woman just when nature makes the greatest demend upon her blood supply. They have done this for thousands of women throughout Canada, why not for you 1 Mrs. Joseph Kinney, Gilbert's Cove, N. 8., says:â€" "For ten years ( suffered from nervousness and those troubles that make the lives of so many women one of almost constant misery. At times I would bo confined to my bed for weeks. I spent sleepless nights and seemed to lose all courage. I tried sever- al doctors, but they failed to give me any relief. The last doctor I consulted told me frankly that ho could not undertake my case un- less I would undergo an examina- tion. It was then I decided to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial. After taking six boxes I was much improved in health, but I continued to take the Pills for a couple of months more when I felt like a new woman, and was enjoying such health as I had not experienced for ten .vears before I have had nt return of this trouble since, but I have used the Pills once since that time for the after effects of la grippe and the result was all I hoped for. These are plain facts from my own experience and I have alway."; felt that I cannot too strong- ly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to the manv women who suf- fer as I did." You can get these Pills from any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.00 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. the detectives know each one them, and before the jouruey is over perhaps one or two of them will be in durance vile. And in the steerage is the vast crowd of emi- j grants ; some, determined by per- . severance end hard work to achieve success ; pcme, lazy and without | energy, sure to remain down at the ' bottom rung of the ladder ; and some, discontented and misled, fat- , uously thinking that their wild and impracticable theories would have ' better chance of being attained in ,a more cosmopolitan country. | And then after a few days the vessel arrives in port and the vast ' heterogenous crowd disperses in ! all directions, in almost all cases never to meet again until that Great Day when all shall stand before the ; Great White Throne to be judged according to that which in their ', earth-life they had done, whether it were good or whether it were evil. Happy they then who had I lived the life of the righteous, and ) against whom the Accuser could [ bring no accusation, for that He ' who is now the supreme Judge, during his sojourn on earth paid, en the cross of Calvary, the pen- alties due by them.

Compared with the "coracle," the wicker, skiii-eovercd boat in which our forefathers, the ancient Britons, ferried over the rivers or ccasted along the shores, the mod- ern liner is indeed a mighty and gigantic vessel. In.stead of a ca- pacity for the accommodation of one or two persons, the largest of these greyhounds of the seas have iiiiiple space for a cumplcment, in- cluding passengers and crew, of five thousand or more persons. The prini'ipal saloons are magnificent- ly and sumptuously decorated pil- lared halls, as stately and as im- posing as the banqueting halls of almost any palace, while the luxuri- ous state rooms are masterpieces of the decorators' art. In some a daily newspaper is published ; and although happily there is no deliv- ery of letters, yet the passenger is never sure that the throbbing pul- sations of the electric current, set in motion a thousand miles away, will not be arrested by the wired crossbar at the mast-hend and be resolved into a message of good or bad news for himself. And the passenpfersâ€" all sorts and conditions of men, women, and chil- dren. Here a nmlti-millionaire, with an income larger than that of any monarch since the time of Cr'i'sus; but notwithstanding his colossal wealth as liable to the ills to which lle.sli is h(>ir, and to the hiirassiuf! slings and arrows of vex- ation and of grief as an ordinary mortal. Here a newly-wedded pair, positively engrossed, eacli in the othef, setting out to fight tlia bat- tle of life side by side together in a new country, wit!i all the glad an- ticipations of sanguine youth; ov liere a gang of confederates, ap- parently unknown to each other, but intent on robbing their fellow pRSNOMgors by uhentins at cards, or by any other way which their dis- torted ingenuity can devise. Rut The greatest achievement of sci- ence in the opening decade of the twentieth century is the awaken- ing of the people to the fact that ! most human diseases are prevent- ! able and a large proportion of early | deaths avoidable. At least 700,000] of the million and a half deaths oc- curring annually in the United ; States result from the minute para- ' sitic plants and animals gaining ac- ! cess to the body. These invisible foes wage a continual warfare ! against both strong and weak, rich j and poor. Civic duty as well as â-  Fclf preservation demands that these life-destroyers should as far as possible be shut out of the hu- 1 man system. j The evidence condemning the use ! of the common drinking vessel upon any occasion whether at school, church or liomo is derived from three sources: 1. The frequent pre- sence of disease-producing bacteria ill the mouth ; 2. the detection of pathogenic germs on the public^ cups ; and 3, the discovery that j where a number of persons drank from a cup previously used by the sick, some of them became ill. A cup which had been in use nine days in a school was a clear thin glass. It was brokt'-n into a num- ber of pieces and properly stained for examination with a microscope magnifying 1,000 diameters. The human cells scraped from the lips of the drinkers were so numerous on the upper third of the glass that the head of a pin could not be placed anywhere without touching several of these bits of skin. The saliva by running down on the in- side of the glass had carried cells and bacteria to the bottom. Here, however, they were less than one- third as abundant as at the brim. By counting the cells present on fifty different areas on the glass as seen under the microscope, it was estimated that the cup contained over 20,000 human cells or bits of dead skin. .As many as 150 germs were seen clinging to a single cell, and very few cells showed less than ten germs. Between the cells were thousands of germs left there by the smears of saliva deposited by the drinkers. No less than a hundred thousand bacteria were present on eery square inch of the glass. â€" I'rora "Death in School Drinking Cups," August Technical World.

It was not a case of "thrice jhe slew the slain;" he did it a doz- i en times, bragging loudly of his I prowess and bravery. Whirâ€" whir I â€" went the assagais, accompanied by a similar sound from one thou- sand deep-throated voices. Then all would jump and yell and stab the fallen foe again. Having finished, they resumed their march, and their tramping ranks sounded like "some deep mul- titudinous murmur that swells from the soul of seas." The impression was that of overwhelming, irresist- ible force, sweeping over the velt, and tramping every living thing on its surface. It seemed as if nothing could withstand that whirlwind of fury. Yet if a rabbit or a calf had run out in front of that huge force the whole army would have fled with fear at the bad omen, and would have re- fused to fight that 'day. place within our reach. They make it evident that our sense organs give us reports of but a comparatively small number of comparatively gross siimuli. A SIPER riTlOVS ARMY. That of the Swa/.i ean Easily be put Out of Business. Some time ago a number of Swazi chiefs came from their South Afri- can country to lay their grievances before King Edward, if the politic- al superstitions of the people are as vivid and effectual as those of their military department, many difficul- ties must be encountered in dealing with the nation. Mr. Dudley Kidd, in his book, "The Essential Kaffir," descriiies ilio Swazi army and the easy check which can be put on its action. 1 saw the Swazi impi, or army, on parade, and during a sham fight. The sight was impressive. The men were (dressed in special colors, tiie shields of the regiments lnjing made from the hide, in one case of brown cattle, in another of black, and in still another of black and wliite. The warriors wore rings of hide of the same color over their shoulders. The masses of men raced over the grounfl with carlh-shaking tread, chaiitiuj; their war song. They came like a whirlwind, (lancing up in the air at parts of the chant. Now and then they stopped to spear an imaginary foo which they liad trod- den 'down, every man plunging his MEASURING DISTANCES. >Voni'.erfuI Sensitiveness of Modern Machines and Balance.^. The sensitiveness of the human organism is gross indeed compared with that of the marvelous machines man has made. A photographic plate coupled with a telescope discovers millions of stars whose light the retina of the eye does not appreciate ; the micro- phone makes the inaudible tread of a fly soun'd like the tramp of caval- rymen. The human heat sense cannot re- alize a difference of temperature beyond one-fifth of a degree. But the barometer, an instrument 200,- 000 times as sensitive as the skin, notes a difference of a millionth of a degree. A galvanometer flexes its finger at a current generated by aimply deforming a drop of mercury so as to press it out of a spherical shape into that of an egg. The amount of work done hy the wink of an eye equals 100,000,000- 000 of the winks marked on the scale of a delicate instrument ; but even this performance is surpassed by the "coherers" of Brauley of i'ari.=<, by which the Hertz waves of wireless telegraphy are caught in thjir puls- ings through spare". The range of impressions which we get from lifting an obje.t is exceed- ingly small ; an ordinary chemist's balance is .some million tiine.s as sen- sitive and weights down the 200th part of a milligram. Without such instruments as these we should know far less about the world than Uiey FINDING THE WORLD'S RADIIM. Probably no discovery of modern science has been more romantic than that of radium, for while ev- erything else in this old world of ours will wear away in the fullness of time, radium goes on giving out heat and light forever ; a perpetu- ai light of intense brilliance, a per- petual power plant of enormous strength. So writes P. Harry Mid- dleton in the Technical World Ma- gazine for August. A small fraction of an ounce, properly employed would provide a good light for several rooms, and would never require renewal, while a given quantity of radium will melt its own weight of ice every hour. The t>nergy stored up in one gram of it would be sufficient to raise five hundred tons weight a mile high, and on this calculation an ounce of it would suffice to drive a fifty-horsepower automobile round the entire globe at a pace of thirty miles an hour. But the industrial application o( radium is restricted by the extreme- ly limited supply available, and its fabulous price. France controls the world's market, and possesses the only wholesale radium factory on earth. And despite the fact that no commerciaruse has yet been dis- covered for radium, the demand for the precious element is enorm- ous. Every scientist in the world wants his grain of it- for laboratory purposes. Patient researchers e\erywhere are studying it and ap- plying it to different substances in th( hope of discovering new com- binations. Outside the walls of Paris, near the old Ivry cemetery, you will find a group of unpretentious sheds. These form the workshops of Mon- sieur and Madame Curie, where the crude ore goes through its ear- ly stages of separation, and here there axe many tons of rare earths done up in sacks ready for treat- ment. With this introduction, the au- thor describes the process of ex- tracting radium from the tons o! raw material in which it is scatter- ed. The article is very interest- ing and is well illustrated.
