...feat was made possible by the experiments of Dr. Arthur Korn, professor of electro-physics in the Berlin High School of Technology, who has been working on the idea since 1900. Dr. Korn's process is based on the fact that a half-tone newspaper or magazine picture, if examined through a strong magnifying glass, is seen to be made up of hundreds of tiny dots, varying in size and shade, the dark dots being large and the light ones small. Photographs under the new system are translated at the sending end into groups of letters, each letter representing...

The Dunsany piece, "Apotheosis and the Peer", strikes this particular admirer of Dunsany as one of the high points in the collection. "A Wessex Tale" is quite Handyesque in tone and manner, though a keener study of Hardy might reveal to the writer the secret of that sureness of touch that makes the consumate artist. Joseph Conrad in the bathtub is almost Conrad's self, and Edgar Masters' cutting edge is in at least one sample of "A Charles River...
