PHOTOGRAPHY BY WIRE.
Professor Korn ot Munich, who has
been working on telegraphic photog
raphy for several years, has at last
succeeded In rending a aeries of pic
tures. Including one of the German
crown prince, over a photo-telegraphic
. instrument, a distance of 1,125 miles.
The time required was twelve minutes,
hut this, it is believed, can be cut to
two minutes. The most wonderful
thing about the achievement is that
the reproduced photograph Is not the
blurred and smudgy thing which Korn
secured three or four years ago when
he began his experiments, but it is a
perfect picture, aa readily recognizable
as the original photograph from which
the operator worked. . One or two
mechanical difficulties are ,to be con
quered and the world may then see
the transmission of a photograph from
Paris or Berlin or London to New
Tork or Tacoma with the same syeed
aa a newspaper "story" Is telegraphed.
The sending of an image over the
electric wire has, of course, been one
of the long dreams of science. Many
experimenters have been working on
the problem, but the Munich scientist
la the first io prove commercially sue
cessful Professor Korh'a startling
triumph is due to the extraordinary
qualities of the metal selenium, which
la able to transmit light waves Into
variations of an electric current Just
aa the diaphragm of a telephone
causes the mechanical vibrations of
sound to be reproduced In correspond'
ing electric vibrations, so the action
of a varying light upon a plate of se
lenlum, through which an electric cur
rent is passing, causes that current to
vary In exact accordance with the
graduations of light on the photograp-
ic film.
DIFFERENT MANAGEMENT.
Advocates of the parcels post are
publishing some Interesting figures,
showing that the British postoffice
during 1905 carried 97,000,000 parcels
at about one-sixth the charge paid for
a like service in this country. At the
same time the British postal surplus
was $24,000,000, while the United
States postal deficit was $14,000,000.
On the face of it this might seem to
. ijtm. better mn&oSrn-nt In England!
but ench a conclusion would Ignore
the more difficult problems of the
American postal service, including our
vast distances through thinly settled
country, as compared with the short
mall routes in populous Britain. The
burden is on the advocates of an
American parcels post to show ithat It
would not bankrupt our government.
' CHICAGO'S TRAN8IT 8Y8TEM.
. Nothing so Impresses a realization
of the rapidity with which cities grow
as the study of the street car prob
lem. Chicago Is a case in point. Twen
ty years ago there was only one ca
ble car line In that city. All the rest
were- horse cars. Electric cars, of
course, were unknown,
In twenty years twenty miles of
cable have been installed, more than
two hundred miles of electric lines are
In use, sixty miles .of elevated road
DECISION ON ALIEN LABOR.
The first Important ruling from Sec
retary Straus of the Department of
Commerce and Labor, Is in regard to
alien labor Importations. The State of
North Carolina In order to induce Im
migration pays the expenses of cer
tain classes of aliens and procures
them work upon arrival. Southern la
bor unions 'protested and cited the
contract alien labor statutes. Mr.
Straus has ruled that the latter have
not been violated and that to Induce
legitimate Immigration la not to Im
port alien labor. The distinction seems
fine and the courts must decide the
delicate question. Adverse decisions
would greatly retard the movement to
turn Immigration Into the southern
states.

The city has not been able to keep up

The 'cable lines of that city serve
the thr great divisions of the city-
north,, south and west, with deflecting
lines to the northwest and to the
southwest. These cars provide the
very worst street car service known
to any city In the nation. They are
slow, the cars are shattered by age

Broken cars are common and a ces

A Bit of a Chat on Correct Clothesology for
Christmas.
The many useful things of beauty, style and exclu
sive design in men's attire shown by Ithis. "The Fore
most Man's Shop in Astoria"is a source of pleasant'sur-
prise and a revelation to thousands who come in to
choose a present for "Him" of something useful, some
thing to wear, and something "He" may have the
satisfaction of being positive as to its being absolutely
correct m every detail and of very best quality. A
man just entering the
battle of life is badly
handicapped if he dress
es slouchily. Clothe
have more to do with the
making of a man than
they are given credit for.
After a man is "made",
he can dress as he pleases
In the preliminary
skirmish he should be as
careful of his dress as of
his fingernails.
