WONDERFUL DEVICE.
The Danish brothers Anderson, already known as inventors, havo invented an apparatus by the us© of which it is possible to see what is going on at the other end of a telephone wire. The technical details of this invention are so far kept secret, but a Copenhagen newspaper correspondent recently employed an engineer of repute to rest the brothers' claim. . This expert declared the claim to be justified, and described the process as entirely new and very simple. The process differs from the Korn and other systems of phototelegraphy in that it makes no use of photography, but transmits light and colours directly. A speaker at a telephone fitted with the apparatus can be seen, and he can show anything ho likes across the wires. The inventors are described as sons of a saddler of Odense, and aro aged 28 and 30. They have been «ight years at work on the invention.
