Photographs Can Se Sent by Tele graph With Great Accuracy and Some Speed Whenever Nec essary Apparatus joists. Paris.-It has been possible for some time to send photographs by wire with great accuracy and some speed, wherever the necessary appa ratus exists. Such transmission-has for a year or so formed part of the regular Paris service of an enterpris in ; London journal. Suppose, however, that*a reponer linds himself ai a country tt-'agrr.ph station and desires to send to his paper a picture ovf some kind in connection with his story portrait, or the photograph ,of some building or locality. He is evidently so better off than he would have been a century ago. A recent process, how ever, tl?e invention of a French en gineer named Mortier, would r:r."cc lt possible for him to send his picture oyer gingie wire, with thc ai-; of the ordinary telegraphic instruments-or rather, it would enable him to tele graph data from which the picture could bc built up at tho receiving sta tion. This process is described by R, Bemm in La Nature, where wo read: "Mortier's proceas requires neither costly and delicate apparatus cor any peculiar Hista?iation, nor a sp??cicl v.ire. Ic will work anywhere, using under normal conditions the existing telegraphic plant, of the smallest lo calities and without tho least inter fcr'.uee with its ordinary administra tion. "What was necessary to obiain this result?

"Tho first thing to do is to cut the I cturo up into tiny squares, each one : 3f which has the tone of the part of fte image in which it is situated ' .vhich tone is represented by a con ventional figure serving for its tele gfrapbic transmission. Har this process, ? ii'hlch has the inconvenience of being ? slew and uncertain, has been happily j replaced by -Mr. Mortier by the follow-, iag, which nay bo called auionatki: "The picture to be transmitted is Erst printed In an enlarged forth sus- . oeptible of easy analysis.
