BANS ELECTRO CHEMICAL TrIroRArp AND ELxc-
TRIO CLocKs.-Mr. Alexander Balm, already widely
mode OF applying electricity to practical end available
uses in the Transmission Of Intelligence, has several
OF ms naonines In WORKING order, at 2ss Broadway
The EectroC Chemical Telegraph is perhaps, the most
important of the improvements for inspso-
ton The characters to be- transmitted BY aid OF this
apparatus, are first perforated in narrow paper rib
bon, by small machine, perfectly simple in it's
strucon, and then ira nserred to any number Of
stations, on the same line with the rapidtty Of one
thousand letters to the minute By aid of the psrfs-
rating machine, abstract Of news any other in
telligence. may be- prepared a voyage across the
ocean, while travelling in any ordinarily quiet con-
veyance where there is telegraph that instantly
on arriving at Geographic station the composition

the usual chrography of the language Mr.. claims
to have originated this mode of applying chemistry
that science never having been applied until he had
completed and set in operation one of his machines
In the same room with the machines already mention

These time pieces will for three years, without
cleaning and as they never need winding they are,

any number of clocks may be employed in building
even in town, and being connected with the same
