mon roads appears at last to have been thor
oughly tested In Scotland, where the success
of Mr.. B.. W. Thompson's road steamers, after
various trials, has earned for them the en-
dorsement Of the most sceptlcal. A -siX-horseT
road steamer has been running for several
miles, over a wretched road, to the Kittock

grade Is one in eight, over which the steam
engine draws ten tons with great ease at the
rate OF ,bree miles and a half an hour. When

BY the new system OF t-"Automatic Tele-
graphy, as IL Is called, it is claimed that 1000
words an hour may be transmitted by single
wire-6e0 words an hour being the capacity Of
the Morse system. What the nature of the in

not know; but Mr.. Craig, who has oeen long
in the telegraph business, and who seems TO
have the management Of this invention, says
it Is capable Of being worked in direct circuits
from three to ten times greater than can posi-
bly, be done by the lIorse system, whichis that
commonly In use. Experiments have shown
that 1t is quite practicable to telegraph By one
manipulation, direct from New York to every
other city In the Union, news report at the
rate or4ee words minute, or "a, 900 words an
hour, and that this rate Of speed can be main
tained any length OF time solely BY electrical
and mechanical power.
