Predict Radio Television Sets • V ^ ‘ - a Soon Be Ready Improved Uniform International Inventors Give Successful Demonstration of Apparatus Enabling Fans To See , As Well As Hear _ 1 ’ * /*■ ■■' 4 .v Artists In Broadcasting Studios, i Written Specially for The People-Sen tinel by Robert Fuller through Au tocast* ir Service. Radio fans may iToon sit before the receiving sets in their homes and both see *ind hear the artists in the broad casting studios. The feat of seeing and hearing a man moving about and talking in a darkened room several miles away has been accomplished during a tehwision demonstration at Schenectady, N. Y., staged by Dr. E. F. W. Alexamhtrson, research engineer of the General Elec tric Company and consulting engineer of the Radio Corporation of America. Television has been demonstrated before. Tests by the American Tele phone and Telegraph Company a year ago showed what might be done. But Dr. Alexanderson’s demonstration of television furnishes the first absolute proof that homes throughout the world may be connected by sight as they have been by sound. It is predicted that within five years television recoving sets will be manu- fnctureri and soto rrn In the Schenectady tests a man stood talking and smoking a cigar ette before the transmitting dtivice in the Geheral Electric Company’s radio laboratories. - In three Schenectady homes other men gathered about re ceiving sets ht*rd the voice of the man in the darkened room several miles away, saw the smoke curl up from his cigarette, and watched him wink slyly as he talked about the ex periment. Then others took tht^r places before tho transmitting device and were seen by the men in the homes. The receiving set is of simple con struction, its inventors say, and is contained in a cabinet closely resem bling that of the ordinary phonograph. The principle of the television re ceiving set is virtually the same as that of the raido receiving set except that the ordinary radio set translates I ’Photo shows broadcasting apparatus used to extend vision so it is possiblejo see individuals and occurrences in distant places, the apparatus in -the -ahovt-ptohirc made the girl actually visible to groups gathered about receiving sets in Schenectady homes, in tests by the General Electric^ Company and the Radio Corporation of America. elfectric impulses into sound while the tulevjsion receiver converts electric impulses into light. Transmitting the picture is declar ed to be almost as simple as receiving it, so far as th« principle involved is concerned. * At the transmitting end light is converted into electric impul ses. . ' * ^ > Through a rotating disc, in which are a number of small holes, a brilliant light is projected. Tho light, passing through the rotating disc, falls upon the face of the artist whose picture is being broadcast. At each rotation of the disc a complete picture is made, and this picture is imposed on photo- eloctric cells, converted into radio im pulses, and broadcast to be picked* up by the’ receiver. As the artist whose picture is being broadcast .moves, each successive pic ture assumes a slightly different posi tion. Consequently, the imago in the receiving set appears to move, the principle being the same || that used in producing motion pictures. Some further simplificantion and a regulation of the cost of the appara tus is said to be all that stands in the way of realization of the radio fan’s droarrt of a home receiving set that will bring him both sight and sound David Sarnoff, general manager of the Radio Corporation of America predicts that within five years televi sion will be “an art and an industry m thus country.” Television ,he says, will supplement the radio and the two will devedop together^ FAVORS ERECTION OF I GATEWAYS TO COUNTV Blackville Man Suggests That Tourists Be Advised of Progressiveness f of This Section. A good Blackville friend writes the editor of The People-Sentinel in part as follows: ‘‘Since we are successful in having a bunch of tourists coming through the county, and have not been success ful in organizing a County Chamber of Commerce to advertise the county, and you seem to be quite, progressive, as well as a believer in advertising, couldn’t you use your influence to get the County Board and the Delegatioji ta put an item of about $2,000 in the county supply bill to erect six mas sive gateways at the points whe<re the six highways enter the county, such as the different counties have in Florida, letting the tourists, know when they enter and leave the pro* gressive county of Barnwell? A com mittee could be appointed to get plans and specifications of these gateways and have them erteted out of a nice quality of brick with a substantial steel beam across, to which attractive wording could be attached.

For that reason, he is giving publicity to the letter and if a sufficient number of people favor the suggestion, there shouldn’t be any trouble in raising the necessary amount. ^ . * * * * / ' Ghost Ship Said to Roam the North Sea The North sea has a Flying Dutch mau of Its irwu—a sort of ghost ship whose appearance Is superstitlousl? regarded by sailors as an omen of 4B fortune, If not of death, to the be holder. It was first reported by a British war convoy that left a Nor wegian port in November, 1917. Lieu tenant Commander Fox of the Mary Rose counted twelve o&ipS—ae^lhey- passed out of sight of land. Later an enemy raider attacked the convoy. When Commander Fox counted the convoy again there were thirteen. Other officers on the Mary Rose con firmed the number. No one had seen the thirteenth ship Join the convoy. ^One moment there was blue sea spark ling behind the twelfth ship; the next the stranger was speeding along with the rest—a somewhat’ rusty craft whose name had been so obliterated by long service at sea that It cou}d not be made out. When the raider’s attack began the etranger was still with the convoy. When the enemy had been driven olf the stranger had vanished 'as’myste riously as she had appeared. The Mary Rose was lojpMn the skirmish. The North sea phantom has ap peared, according to its growing leg- 'ehd, several times since then, each time a? the precursor of III fortune to the beholder. She is said to be a small warship or again a rusty freight er, a battered schooner or a small sea- worn liner. But however she Js. re ported, North sea sailprmen believe she bodes no good. \ t t r Only 136 special weeks have been -arranged for 1928, bpt-ef A$urse, it’s early yet.

Jesus Ministering by the Sea (3:7-12). - 1. Why He withdrew. It was be cause of the murderous plotting of the Pharisees against His life. So violent was their hatred against Him that they .conspired with the Herodlan?, whom they regarded as traitors to their nation and country, to put Him to death. Their opposition was aroused when Jesus claimed to have power on earth to forgive sins (2:10).' It grew in Intensity wh^n He mingled with publicans and sinners (2:16), and was fanned into a violent flame when He set at nought their false interpretations of the Sabbath law (2:23-28). Criticism and harshness causes Jesus today to withdraw from our presence, 2. To whom He ministered (vv. 7.8.) A great multitude, representing a wide stretch of territory. They came from -Jerusalem and Idumaea on the -south, from beyond Jordan on the east, and from Tyre and Sidon on the northwest Jesus was the magnetic attraction—the hero of the hour. The interest of the whole country centered In Him. / 3. The result (vv. 9-12). (1) So great was the pressure that lives seemed endangered v by the thronging of the multitudes. Some came/uut_jpf curiosity “^ben they heard what great things he did” (v. 8). Others came for physical ben efit, to be healed, of their diseases. /Tb escape from the throng He ordered the disciples to secure a little boat for Him. (2) The unclean spirits prostrated themselves before Him (vv. 11, 12). They confessed Him as the Son of God. They had no doubt about His deity. This testimony He refused to receive because (a) the fime for. His declaration was not yet ripe, (b) They were not the' beings to make Him known. He would not receive tribute from such' a source. He would ‘ be proclaimed' only by those who loved and honored Him. H. Jctut Ministering St Gennesaret (6:53-56). I. Jesus recognized (v. 54). The people quickly recognized Him because they had witnessed His mighty works. The feeding of the 5.000 was doubt less still in their minds. Perhaps many of them had witnessed His works in ' Cbpernaum Iffid nearby^ places. They had doubtless heard Him teach also. *He was recognized, wher ever He went. When He rules in the lives of believers todqy, those who come into tou& with them recognize the fact They take knowledge of them that they have been with Jesus (Acts 4:13). 2. The people ran to. see Jesus (v. 65). They did not go about this In a half-hearted way. Those who really come into touch with the Lord Jesus Christ have called forth from them unusual energy. The degree oi reality of our contact with Him is e* pressed by oqr enthusiasm. 3. They searched the whole region for those in need (v. 55). Barnwell Oil Mill W. E.

Those whoffiave come to know Christ will, go about earnestly seeking for the lost to bring them to Christ It matters not what effort Is required. 4. They were made whole by His touch (v. 56). The only touch which is needed for the healing of the hu man, soul is that of faith.
