Show ci ANOTHER TRIUMPH Telegraphy Kcvolutioniascd and tlitt Tclcplione supplanted A new application of electric science has been made here that promises to go far toward revolutionizing telegraphy and supplanting the telephone in popular favor It is nothing less than the discovery discov-ery of means by which anybody capable of manipulating an ordinary typewriting machine may with equal ease rapidity and precision send and receive messages over a telegraphic wire Should this invention vention should do all that is claimed for it and indeed that it seems fully capable capa-ble of there seems to be no good reason why the places of expert Morse telegraphers l telegraph-ers may not be filled everywhere b girls clerks expressmen station agents and other nonexperts so at once reducing greatly to the public the cost of telegraphy and increasing facilities by the establishment establish-ment of at least 40000 new telegraph offices throughout the country in places where they have not heretofore been For reasons best known to the company controlling this most important invention its operations have until now been kept a secret The office and operating rooms have been carefully guarded against reporters re-porters and the men interested have been as closemouthed as if it had been a political polit-ical i mystery instead of a step in progressive progress-ive science that they were concealing However the writer found means to be Tirpqflnt sit a series of exceedingly inter esting tests of the practicability of the tJe new system which constituted an entirely en-tirely private exhibition The distinguishing features of the new system are the entirely novel transmitter transmit-ter and receiver employed Those two instruments although put near together here upon a table have between them about a hundred miles of Ordinary telegraph tele-graph wire coiled about the room through which their connection is made In point 6f fact the transmitter and the receiver are exactly alike the same machine serving for either use as required re-quired Its front isalmpst the same as the keyboard of a caligraph or typewriter type-writer the letters or the alphabet and the numerals are in high relief Behind this is avertical column around which blank paper is placed and by a simple mechanical mechani-cal device moved up line by line as desired de-sired The paper almost touches the lettered face to the wheel A small inking ink-ing rolldr governed by a spring supplies color to the lettered wheel Inside the column is small hammer that strikes the paperagainst whatever letter may be directly before it and so prints it upon the surface of the paper All that seems simple enough The mystery is below in the intricate and delicate electrical attachments by which Variously graduated currents are led over the thirtyeight or forty wires from the keys to the printing apparatus and at the same time to a connected instrument in-strument far away to record both simultaneously simul-taneously and with perfect accuracy on evdry key that is struck The wire connecting con-necting the instrument is single but those graduated currents not only pass along it without confusion but even meet in opposite directions at the same time This was fully demonstrated in the tests The touching of a1 key instantly in-stantly produced a letter upon the paper of both instruments and letter after letter followed as rapidly as a skillful typewriter operator could touch the keys until many messages had been exchanged ex-changed It was observed that the wheels when retrcgression in the order of the alphabet was necessitated whirled clear back to a fixed point each time as the wheel of a gold and stock indicator instrnmnnt dooa but it mnvprl ivifh mrmli uu u

distinctive advantages claimed by this system over all other telegraphic telephonic and typewriting instruments are in its simple and inexpensive con struction and the ease of operating it Any person who can read can transmit and receive messages hrdugh it as correctly cor-rectly as could the most experienced expert ex-pert using the Morseinstrument I is as rapid as itj is aqcuratq and all
