Perhaps the nearest solution of what might be called the ideal meth- od was the invention of Messrs. Cre- hore and Squiers, two American engi- neers, which created a decided sensa- ition a few years ago, and was fully= described in the various daily papers and periodicals. These inventors em- ployed an alternating current as their ,source of energY. and used an electro- ' magnetic light pOlarizing apparatus, in of paper.

The “'heat- stone system extensively used in 5 :,England may be called a machine tele- graph, as the message is prepared on a strip of paper by a perforating ma- chine. This improvement has given this system a great advantage over the ordinary Morse system, but the appar- atus employed is extremely delitate and easily gets out of order. THE NEXT ADVANCE. . An improvement over this system is the Hughes printing telegraph which, as its name indicates actually prints the characters and requires no perfor-i ated slips of paper. Mr. Baudot in-f' creased the capacity of this system fivefold by the employment of five sets;i i : As is well known. the Morse system. which is in use principally in this country. is dependent on the physical endurance and accuracy of an opera- tor. and on that account is very lim- System.

The demand for a simple and rapid system is felt more particularly in large cities where the multiplication 'of telegraph wires becomes a more serious problem every day. The new SYstem would decrease the number of wires required to transact the neces- sary business of a good-sized commun- Ity and enable messages from aseat of war or other important point to be transmitted without interruption. By1 employing a sufficient number of per~ forating machines every possible de- mand on a line can be met, For these and many other reasons it is certain that the entire civilized world will hail the new discoverv win. 3-1:”... - ' ~55 UV vvualucl GUI] l t:- ducéd 5y til: greater use which can lye made .of existing telegraph lines: in ,, it would In all probability re- form or eVIen revolutionize the entire nye days and nights. .

The dimensions of this [coil are chosen to meet the require- ments. When a current impulse is sent over the line a part of it will {go through the inductance coig. At fthe moment the current is interrupt- "ed, a current in the same direction is Egenerated in the coil. which will. how- ever. flow through the line in the op- posite direction to that of the last im- PUlse, eliminating all disturbancesl which exist in View of this property1 of the circuit. “'ONDERFUL POSSIBILITIES. To illustrate the capacity of this sys« tem we may cite the following exam-l ple: It requires only L5 minutes tol transmit the contents of a newspaper his message, and a Morse operatori 90““ '1“ do the work in less than! five days and nights. : cut off, the .current imâ€"pufsve iglâ€"evngth: ened considerably, so that the dia- r-‘hragm comes to rest without making any ex‘t-ra swing. 'n‘ The inventors had still two great dif- ficulties to overcomeâ€"that is the mo- i mentum or swing of the diaphragm and {the capacity and self-inductance of the 'line. They have been very successful in eliminating the former, owing to the fact that when the time of dur- ation of the current impulses coin- cides with that of the swinging periods cides with that of the swinging period of the diaphragm, the latter will have no swing of its own. In order to ob- tain this coincidence they connect a? condenser in parallel with the receiv- ing apparatus of the required capa- cxty, only send brief current impulses into the telephone, shorter than the duration of the swinging period, and hy the discharge of the condenser into the telephone after the current isi THE MESSAGE PHOTOGRAPHED. ‘ and 0‘ . , . . . peaks 0: the {In I‘hls image moves out of its original about the B' < position in one or the other direction,] 3 , . 01 Ina; according to the movement of the dia-l many 111 his audi phragm and mirror, which are actu-ikDOWD that mosc rated by the current impulses.
