MAGICAL HYPNOTISM (PLAYED BY A NUMBER OF SELLFUL MAGICIAND)
-The Christian Science Monitor of article from a correspondent in Washing-
ton:-
The facsimile transmission of Chinese script by radio frem the Bellevue Naval Research Laboratory to Wardman Park fotel, a distance of about 13 miles, Was the remarkable demonstrative fea- Lure
of the Washington Itadio Show. This was the first time for Chinese script to be sent and received by: radio

marked the public introduction of a new method of communication, namely, the transmis sion and reception of handwritten and reception of bandwritten and typewrit- ten copy by radio. "
this
The inventor of the method of send- ing and receiving radio photo-letters, C. Francis Jenkins, predicted that now means of communication would find a useful place, just as the telephone has, although the latter was preceded by
This system, walike the

telegraphy and radio telegraphy, re- tains the authentic character of au auto graphed letter and at the same tim delivers the communication at a speed of about 180,000 miles a second.
100 WORDS A MINUTE. Regardless of whether the messige in Chinese script, a typewritten letter, cr shorthand, a photographic copy is made and is communicated at a rate of 100 words a minute. This obviates the use of the telegraphic code.
'irl
The apparatus used in the radio- photo-letter method of communication: with certain modifications, is similar to that emplored in the transmission and reception of photographs by radio. For instance, there is a tiny lamp that Bickers a half a million times a second and this is used in impressing upon
around Upper, wound sensitized cylinder, the white and black shades which form the background of a band written or typewritten letter. This tiny lamp is concected to the grid ele ment of a vacuum tube and the fluctuat ing values of the small lamp are thus controlled.
are
The main portion of the apparatus consists of two cylinders which operated in synchronism. At one end of the machine, copy for transmitting is placed in a bakelite container and at the other end of the apparatus a similar

TUNING FORK EMPLOYED.
The two cylinders of the apparatus are synchronously rotated by means of a small motor, about one-twentieth of a horsepower. The constancy of a direct- current radtor may be maintained by use of a tuning fork, which beats at the rate of 60 times a second with clock- like precision. The handwritten copy which is received by this method re- quires the use of a developing process, This just as pictures are developed." may be done by use of the cylinder-like bakelite containers, just as the message is received, or the photographic impres sion may be fattened out and developed in a tray comIHON. to photographic
laboratories.
The first public demonstration of the radio photo-letter method of com
ication, given at the Washington radio show de luxe was attended by number of distinguished personazes. Theac included Curtis D. Secretary of the Navy; Dr. J. Harris Rogers, inventor of the underground and subses methods of radio communica tion; Emile Berliner, inventor of the modern telephone transmitter, and Al fred I. Storu, director of the Washing ton radio shoir.
