SATURDAY, JUNE 23 1917. BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE | PoOTOERAPaS ARE - SENT OVER WIRE , 8¥stem First Invented by Indiana | i _ Man. More Than 25 Years” Ago. F EARLY oets ON DISPLAY Uncle Sam Obtains Experimental Ma- chines and Places Them on:Ex- hibition in the Smithsonian \ institution, " Probably many. have wondered if one shall not eventually be able to, see by wire. It is not such an absurd question, for we now transmit and receive sound and: motion, via wire, /sending even our voices and handwrit- ing by the telephone and telegraph, says-one of Uncle Sam's. experts. So id far, no one has perfected a method of transmitting vision, or enabling us‘to actually see objécts out of sight, but there are several methods, which, though they do not enable us to ob- serve object some miles away, re- > product it mechanically as a picture, | thus. practically serving the same pur. | pose. One of these systems, known as the photo-telegraph or the electro- * -artograph was invented by N. S. Am-! stutz-of Valparaiso, Ind., over 25 years ago, and demonstrated both here and abroad. It reproduces. photographs by.) wire, The division of: graphie arts. of the United States National museum, has lately come into possession‘ of the early experimental machines, as -.jvell as) «some of the more perfect: machines, | deposited by the dnyentor. “They are | displayed in the exhibition halt. of the Smithsonian building in connection with a series of original photographs and reproductions, transmitted consid- able distances and engraved electrical | ly for. use as illustrations by this meth- od of telegraphing photographs. Develop Automatic Engraving. Mr. Amstutz is a research engineer, who has spent many years in the study of engraving, and has developed the art of automatic engraving to a marked. degrde. He was not the first to make an electric engraving ma- chine, but he improved the existing method by using an interrupted varl- able-strength current, where prior de- vices had employed an interrupted cur- | * rent of uniform strengtli for control- ing the graver or recording device. Mr. Amstutz’s machine produced half-, tones, but the other early engraving. machines made ngthing but outline drawings. His initial photo-telegraphie machine was built by adapting a synchronizing method to two local electric engraving machines, one employed as a trans- mitter and the other ‘as a feceiver. | | The first method employed by Mr. * Amstutz, originally known as the elec- tro. artograph, transmitted a. relief photegraph, made on a stripping film, composed of gelatin and bichromate of potassium, which when washed in lukewarm water left the parts affect- ed by light in relief.:-The amount.of relief was in direct proportion to the light which had acted on the gelatin, resulting in an irregular surface, rep- ‘resenting in elevation all- the varia- * tions of light and shade in the original picture: The film was then mounted on a true cylinder which revolved ua- der a tracing point mounted on a trav- eling carriage. This point bears light- ly on the gelatin print, rising and falling, like a phonograph needle, but according to the greater or less relief due to the degrees of light or shade, | and by so doing varies to a correspond: +, ing degree the intensity of the electric | current which actuates the receiving | instrument, located perhaps miles away. | With one revolution of the cylinder only a single line is reproduced with the exact elevations and depressions of the profile of the original film: pic- ture, and to transmit the whole-picture | a series of these adjacent lines ntust be traced. This is uccomplished by “the traveling needle which actually traces a slow spiral around the revolv- | ing cylinder, eventually covering the whole picture. The successive laps of the line around the cylinder reproduce similar tracings 4t the other end of the | circuit, including all the light and shade in the original. Electric Magnet Makes Impression. Mr. Amstutz’s receiver is a similar , Machine, but, instead of a tracer, a graver is mounted on theYraveling cars riage, and this is depressed into the cylindrical receiving matrix of hard wax by an electric magnet whose strength varies. in proportion to the current received over the line from the sending machine. {When the sending ~ rene Ss E se oT } ‘7 to a high spot on the film, the en- graving tool is depressed or elevated correspondingly and cuts a deep or shallow slot in the wax on the receiv- * ing cylinder. After the whole photo has been gone over, the wax, with its | Impressions, is taken off. the receiv- | ing cylinder and rolled out fiat. An electrotype is shen made, and the tele- graphed picture is then ready to be printed. While experimenting in 1895, the in- ventor discovered that he could get even better results by: using carbon | relief prints on his sending machine reproducing them on celluloid, and this » method superseded the gelatin aud ‘Wax process of the H LADDER relieved in 24 HOURS tracer drops to a low level or rises!

Each town in turn pushed the campaign into surrounding territory, of the short time allowed the results have been very satisfactory. Enjoyed Arizona—C. M. Dahl, who spent the last winter in Phoenix, Ariz., was delighted with the south- west, but declared he was never so Bismarck, after a six sence. It was rather an exciting win- ter'in Phoenix, with a battle on be- tween two governors, each of whom reigned with his own special court. The climate during the winter was mild and invigorating, with only an eccasional touch of rough weather. The homeward journey was made by way of Los Angeles; where the Dahls enjoyed a reunion with a large vol- ony of former Bismarck folks, and two weeks were spent on the way. |TO TRAIN ARMY COOKS A league to train army cooks has been organized by Miss Georgina Rob- erts and other prominent women. The New York city. equipment it is provided with a regu- lation army range and field outfits. The league is prepared to give imme- diate instruction to men who wish to qualify as army cooks or to men or of such cooks, The lessons will be given from “Army Cooking Manual” by competent graduate teachers.

Berlin—After’ a desperate fight from the battle front, Adolph Rug- mann, a nineteen-year-old soldier, who. was sent to the trenches a few months ago, has been killed near Neustadt, Holstein, by. the bullet of a land- sturmer. The young man, who had been an Inmate of a reformatory before he was drafted for the army, tried to desert two days after his arrival at the front in France, but was quickly recaptured nnd sent to outer trenches as a pun- ishment. After ‘spending three weeks under the fire of the French guns he. de- serted again, Armed with two army revolvers, he sneaked away from the | {front and. tried to reach Holland |through Belgium, When he found this impossible he attempted to get to Den- mark. Walking at night and begging his food at isolated farm houses, the de- serter got to Holstein, but In Neu- stadt‘ he was caught. On the way to Eutin, where he was to be locked up, he jumped from the train and mude for a nearby forest. The two land- sturmers who were guarding him fired at him from the swiftly moving train and killed him, ( “ONE MENACE REMOVED One of the most effective weapons in the war, but one which has had but small notice, is the ship that scours the seas for the death engines that lurk everywhere waiting for unsus- pecting merchantmen. This is a good view of a mine just taken aboard a sweeper. Great Britaln’s fleet of sweepers have been very successful In destroying the enormous fields plantgd in.the North sea by-the Germans. BREAD AS AN ECONOMY FOOD Would Be Used in Place of More Ex: pensive Substances If It Were Baked Well in Home. If home-baked bread were uniform- fy well made it would be\used more ex- tensively than at present in place of more expensive foods, say specialists in Uncle Sam's department of agricul- ture, and this would be a ‘distinet economy. From the standpoint of nu- trition it makes very little difference whether breadstuffs are served In the form of bread or in the form of break- fast cereals, side dishes with meat, or desserts. A man engaged in moderate muscu- lar work can profitably consume about three-fourths of a pound a day of breadstuffs in any one of these forms. This quantity is the equivalent of one pound of baked bread. As a matter of fact, however, it is not probable that in the average family this quantity is consumed and the deficiency is made | up by the use\pf more expensive sub- stances. Of course, bread alone is not ssflicient “for the maintenance of. health, but from both an economical and a hygienic point of view should aly ts, the experts say. | Practicat’ Conservation. Many persons eat too much, say the diet specialists—here’s a way to the table should be a dying tradition. The City and the Farm. Tifty years ago two-thirds of all Americans lived on fartns. Yet every year life on the farm grows easier and every year it grows harder in the city. EAT. WILD: MUSTANG’S FLESH Jackass, Mule, Donkey, Burro and Horse Meat May Now Be Sold ~ — by Porttand: Portland, Ore—Jackass, mule, don- key, burro and horse meat may now be sold in’ Portland: meat markets. The city council has adopted. an. ordinance providing for the inspection of these meats and for the regulation of their sale, The meat must ‘be: plainly labeled with letters at least one inch high and must be inspected by the regular meat inspectors of the city. As adopted the ordinance says Dob- bin and Billy and Maud, before being sold to the. housewife, must undergo thorough: inspection and be labeled! ‘ “horse,” “mule,” “goat” or “jackass,” | as the case may be, The. first horse-meat market has been: opene@ and the first shipment of 22 wild-range mustangs; rounded up by Indians in eastern Oregon, has been re- ccived,:with more to follow {f the de-} mand is sufficient. The butcher says he is able to cut meat prices in two and his quotations for horse flesh range from 4 cents'a pound for soup cuts to 20% cents for T-bone steaks. PAINT TO DEADEN TORPEDOES St. Louis Inventor Claims to Have Perfected Composition: Which Makes Submarines. Harmiess. St. Louis, Mo—A paint against which torpedoes fired by’ a ‘submarine or other warships will not explode is said to have been invented by a St. Louis man, whose ‘name is: withheld. This paint, the inventor claims, will make ships invulnerable-'to subma- tines, In a test on a nearby: lake a mini- ature torpedo, a foot long, was fired forty times into the preparation, it is said, and failed to explode. The preparation’s composition is a secret. When a soft-nosed torpedo strikes this coating, it is said to dead- en the chemicals in head of. the tor- pedo. The chemicals in the head of the torpedo send electric currents along wires in the center of the tor- pedo, which ignite the explosives in the rear. If the chemicals in the head are deadened the torpedo fails to ex- plode. The inventor, through his attornegs, will bring the plant to the attention of the navy department at Washington. Aids Purchase of Tractors. The Italian ministry of agriculture has issued a notice fixing rules where- by agricultural bodies and socicties in Italy may obtain a government con- tribution toward the cost of acquir- ing tractors for mechanical plowing, says a consular agent of Uncle Sam. The grant will be conceded to these bodies up to 30 per cent of the total cost, and, the Board of Trade Journal states, this figure may be increased to 40 per cent in the event of not less than five tractors being employed in any one province. In the case of pri- vate persons the grant will not exceed 20 per cent. FOLEY'S HOME COMING PROVES PLEASING EVENT The homecoming of North Dakota’s poet laureate proved a delightful event at the Auditorium last evening. The reception would have been more general but for lowering skies and ; the threat of a storm, which develop- ed just as the people were planning | to leave for the theatre. The poet, who will ever be “Jimmy” Foley to the hundreds of | friends whom he made in Bismarck during | his many years’ sidence here, made j; an excellent impression the moment he stepped out to the footlights. In an easy, confidential vein, he talked to his audience of early days in North | Dakota, and of the war and of things | jin general, and stray bits of poetry! and sketches were introduced so smoothly that the audience did not | always know when extempore mono- logue left off and the set part of the! | program began. | Hearty applause greeted each sepa- rate number, and ‘although the poet | talked for an hour, no one was ready, to say good-bye when he bowed him- self from the stage. His sel ns were humorous, witty and ins ! tional. A majority of them conveyed | a real message and left something} for his hearers to take home with them. Foley as an entertainer ranks with any platform artist:who has ever appeared at the Auditorium, and the! evening, even though the audience Was not so large as the ellence | of the program merited, was a com-; plete success from an artistic stand- point. NATIONAL PROHIBITION LOOMS UP AS POSSIBILITY Washington, June 28.—Prohibition asa war measure looms up as the big issue in-the house today. with a sharp fight promised before a final vote on the food control bill, which is expected by tonight. The contest was centered on wheth- er the section of the bill authorizing the president to limit or regulate the supply of food materials used in mak- ing alcoholic liquors shall be changed. Most of the drys favor absolute pro- hibition of the use of grain for bever- age purposes during the war, ‘but are divided over the method of doing this.
