A WRITING rELKGRAPH.-Abbe MOigns, in a
late number Of Cosmos, gives an account Of a
telegraph which transmits drawings or fac-si-
miles Of written dispatches. Signor Bonell: is
'ne author Of this adoption. His process is to
write the dispatch, draw the sketch to be
transmitted on metalised or conducting paper
in non-coRducting ink. IL is then placed on the
transmitting machine, and passed by clock work
under number Of fine conducting wires, ar.
ranged in line like the teeth Of a comb These
conducting wires there 60 In Bonelli's ma
chine) are insulated separately in a gut,a percha
cable, which Is stretched between the two places
IN communication. At the other end they are
spread out in the same comb form. Under this
receiving comb Is passed by means of similar
elock-work, chemically prepared paper. the
yellow color of which is changed TO green BIZ the
action Of the magnetic currents which pass over
the wires. When the wires at the transmitting
end are passing over the Insulating ink, they Of
course convey no fluid, and make no change in
the color Of the receiving paper. The message
appears, Therefore, in yellow letters on a green
ground, the letters being composed Of lines, the
nearness of which depends on the distance be-
tween the wires Ten wires would be amply
sufficient to convey phonog graphic writing written
at verbatim speed. The conducting paper used
by NJ BoBelli, has its surface covered with sill
Yer or copper, and the ink used contains oil The
receiving paper is dipped in an alkaline cyanuet.
