, PICTURES '' TRANSMITTED. A FRENCH SCIENTISTS INTENTION. i .limes au.l ijvunev Sun Scr- Ices.) PARIS. July 14. A member of Ibe Academy of Science. M. Ceurces Ripiaux. has exhibited an apparatus rullrp the telephote. which solves lor visioi the pmolems that the telepnone 1m... Lived for the car. It transmits pictures in light and shade along w ir.-s. The problem k.f 'seciuc by wire and wireless" has engaged the attention of scientists f.,r -onic time, and plintngraphs sent over the telegraph wire were reproduced in nur qnluinits some \cars Kg... One system nf was described .it a siientilic lectin' in London last neck, the invention ot an l-'nglishman. Dr. A. M. Low. who claims that' it is possible "for persons uf-ing :• telephone to sc" e.icb nlber at tlr Mini' time." The scientist proposes to! arrive ul thi- result by the use of an apparatus .f hi- own invention, v screen consisting of a large number of cell-, of selenium, over which a ruler is moved rapidly by a -mall motor worked with a current of liipji frequency, and nf a limit TifljOOQ volts |.rcssure. II is lilted ill il box al the side of the telephone. The reiriver at tbe oilier end is made up of a ,ories nf thill shits of steel through which tlie light passes. The idea is interesting add likely, when |iorfoWed to prove usefnl iii many directions. Wonderful e\|>criments haw liecn made by Professor K(irn. which, it is said, are likely to result ill the perfection of a metho.l nf telepj-aphing and caliling moving pictures in tlie near future.
