GR,rH.r by WILLIAM I. CHASNlNG, VI. d., is a pam

Science containing description of the apparatus

TEN OF Fire Alarms This system IS an ADM
rable example OF the successful application ~

utility According TO DR.. Claiming, the Tele-
graph is to constitute the nervous system oil hVing
communities. Electricity corresponds to the agent

common electric teles aph, and IN its power Of pro

motion Hitherto, the sensitive function OF the
telegram has been developed almost exclusively
A peculiar feature of the Fire Alarm system is the
development. Of the motor function OF the telegfapl
that is its application to the production OF important
mechanical effects by means OF artificial muscles
and limbs, either directly by its electro misnen;
energy, or by acting through the medium OF o.her
machinery.
IT. the system constructed in Boston there are two
distinct classes of electric circuits radiatlng from

With regard 10 the expense and practical INTRO
duciiOn of this system, Dr. Claiming makes the FOL-
lowing statement
The e,tmate. furnished by me TO the City Gov
eminent Of Boston, Of the cost OF construction OF
the System, about S. GOO, not including super
nlencepce or the night 10 the use OF the Morse IN
stIumens. II Is believed that this estimate has not
exceeded BY the actual cost Of the arts incm-
dCd ID II. AD addition has been made 10 the num-
Der of Signal Stations and % the length Of the Sig
nal wIes, and also 20 the prop Iset 20 ser of the
Sinking Machines, by which the total expense will !
be incIt3sed perhaps more han thousand dollars
