WORKING THE TELEGRAPH BY STEAM-A new in
vention has just been introduced by a celebrated
English electrician, which is calculated to effect
postal revolution If carried out. 1t is intended to SUI
percede the present tedious process OF working the
electric telegraph and work it by steam. This is to
be accomplished by means Of series of gutta apercha
bands about six inches wide and quarter of an inch
thick, coiled on wheels drums arranged for the
purpose. These bands studded down both sides
with single row OF holes at short intervals apart.
When message is to be sent the clerks wind off these
bands inserting in the holes small brass pins which,
according to their combination in twos and threes-
with blank holes between-represent certain words or
letters In this manner the message is, as it were
set up in the bands with great rapidity and if the
number Of bands employed be sufficiently large-say
as numerous as the compositOrs employed in large
printing Office message equal in length to five or six
| columns of good sized newspaper can be set up and
ready for transmission ia the of single hour
The only limit to the rapidty of the operation is the
rate at which the bands be drawn since the elec.
rical contact of each pin for the twOhundredth
part of second, is said to be than sufficient
transmit word or signal from London, and register
| it in America.
