Jan Szczcpanlks wonderful Invenll on tho tclelectroscope will If all accounts
bo true rrallzo all that Edward Bellamy predicts about twentieth century enter-
tainments In his latest book Equality Szczcpanlk Is a Gallclan schoolmaster
turned Inventor The wonder ot hU ttlcloctroscopo re to bo fully brought out
at the Paris cxposlUot of 1000 Meanwhile tho noiv distinguished Polo can look
back upon tho fow yrnrs of his p rt llf In which he was heroically struggling to
win an education He was fortunate eunuch to get Into tha University of Cracow
where ho Epcnt thro years Lack of funds compelled him to retire beforo ho ttitl
finished his education His now Invention ho says will take tho placo of tho
tost or the mall ot tho future By It nnv scene can be porfectly reproduced
olctorlally at any desired distance For example one might sit In Chicago and
havo a fine view of San Francisco or New York bay with all Us brilliant colors
moving and anchored ships nnd water nnaikling In tbo mm Mountains nnd cities
in fact any natural or artificially arnnccd sccno can bo reproduced true to llfo
at a distance All that is needed Is to nicccst tho Improvement rcrtaln to eomo

of the post and tho telegraph Roughly sneaking tho picture Is broken up Into a
number of points Krch point Is reflected lirmlrrors mid tho refliclcd ray ot llnlt
is converted Into an electric current which can ho transmitted any distance At
the receiving end the current Is again transformed Into tho corresponding ray ot
light This ray of light Is reflected In mirrors and the reflection thrown upon a
pcrcen Now It follows that If all thu pointsot a picture aro taken In very rapid
stircrfislon the resultant reflection upon tho t > crccn will bo the entire picture
There ara many ways ot converting light rays Into nn electric current already
known to men of science An electric battery with a selenium cell is used Tho
battery Is connected by wire with an cltctromnenel nt tbo receiving end whero
tho currents are to be reconverted into light rays Tho electromagnet will movo
in sympathy with the current sent out from the transmitting apparatus and Its
movements will correspond with the nature ot the ray reflected Th magnet will
move a prism plsced in front of a strong vhlta light cither electric or nun light
Tho prism will resolve tbo whlto light into its primaries Thy pilmary colors spread
out in n spectrum and tho prism responding to tho movements of tbo magnet will
bring tho required color Into view Szccepanlk hns mado arrangements with a
ryndlcato for the showing ot the telelectroseopo at the ParlB exposition The syn-
dicate will build an annex to the exposition with a 10000 seating capacity Tho
