Enabling Fans To See , As Well As Hear _

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

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^

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. In my
opinion this would show a little pro
gress and pep and would be wonderful

The People-Sentinel thinks that
the suggestion is an excellent one and
would likd to see the gateways erect
ed, but on account of the present de
pressed financial condition of tjjis sec
tion, the aditor would not care to urge
the expenditure of such an amount r.f
money unless the project be favored
by the taxpayers. 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. \

ple heard him gladly."

IC—The Secret of Jesus’ Fame.
1. 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).

and In need vrere carried in beds to
Jesus. 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. When the

Hflirby a vital and living faith, sin is
vanquished and sickness and death
