YET ANOTHER TELEGRAPH

We copy from London paper of April
18th, the following notice of newly invent
ed Telegraph machine, which seems 10 be as
much more wonderful, in its operation, than
that OF Mr.. House, as the latter is than that
Of Mr.. Morse:
1--WE have this week seen a specimen of
writing by the Copying Telegraph, invented
BY Mr. T c. Bakewell. wherein words traced
from the original were legibly copied on pa
per bv an instrument that had no connection
with the one to which The transmitted mes
! soge was applied, cepting by the usual
wires from the voltac battery. The letters
traced on The paper appear Of pale color, on
dark ground formed by numerous lines
drawn close together. The communications
thus traced, we understand, NAV be transmit
J ted at the rate OF 800 letters OF the alpha bet
per minute of ordinary writings and were
short hand symbols employed, the rap
Idly OF transmission would be quadruped.
When this means OF correspondence Is in OPP
Grafton, instead ol dropping letter into The
post-otfce, and waiting days ior an answer,
we may apply ii dlrectly TO the Copying Tel
egraph, have II copied in a minute, or less,
and receive reply in our CORES poudent's
handwriting almost as soon as the INK Is dry
with which II is peuaed. There are various
means, too, ior preserving the secrecy OF cor
: respondence; the most curious OF which Is,
that the writing may be rendered nearly IN
visible in all parts hul The direction, until its
delivery to the person ior whom ii is design
ed
The operations of the Copying Telegra ph
are not limited to the tracing Of written char
ac,ers. Letter press printing may be copied
with even greater rapidity Than writing, and
the fac-simile copies OF the morning papers
may thus be Transmitted 10 Liverpool and
Manchester long before the papers themselves
are delivered 10 their readers in London. The
means by which tnese astonishing effects art
produced we are not at present permitted Il
state, as the invention is not yet protected
but we are assured that the method is simple
and that the mechanism is neither costly no
likely to get out OF order. Is. indeed, on
OF the peculiar features OF the Copying Tele
era ph that il cannot commit errors, becsus
The connunica ions il transmits are fac SIM
les OF the original writing.
