imro impo discovery in heleg telegraphy rd phy is said to have been made a few months ago by dugan and abid coleman the former femer of booker ford the latter of memphis tennessee these gentlemen have invented a battery very simple in construction and yet so effective that b by y its means an inexhaustible supply of ot t the he electric current can be generated at a very trilling trifling cost in the new battery neither jars a rs nor fluids of any kind are required the current being generated in and drawn directly from mother earth eaith the details of the modus operandi are not yeb fully made known aa as the discoverers cover ers are applying for a patent but the materials used are simply a sheet of zinc and a sheet of copper to the latter of which the wires are attached which are buried about two feet deep with four abu inches of earth between them for eor some months past the operators in the bolivar office have dispensed with all kinds of fluids all messages having I 1 been een sent from that office by means of the buried battery this discovery must musk s save a vast amount of means to telegraph companies and by reducing the working ex expenses of their offices will iii in
