are now more than three hundred factories
engaged, the new departments being the

out the West a more rapid increase in the
number of mills of this class is observed
than in New England.
On shawls, there are about twenty-five

The Originator Cf the Telegraph sys-
tenn

The name of Mr.. Francis Ronalds wa
lately recorded as having received the honor
Of knighthood. Who is Mr.. Francis Ron
aids? was question more likely to be ask
cd than answered. Mr.. Ronalds is neither
more nor less than the originator Of our
telegraph, system He was the very first,
either here or abroad, to invent an electric
telegraph 80 constructed as to be capable
Of extensive practical application, and so
far back as 1928 be fully developed it's
principle and mode Of action. Still earlier
VIZ: in 1916. be had constructed q working
electric telegraph, and on offering it to the
Government, received an answer which can
never be too often cited as an illustration
Of official complacency. "Telegraphs of
any kind are now wholly unnecessary, and
no other than the one now in use will be
adopted" Nothing daunted by this apathy
MIR. Ronalds matured his invention, and
in 1928 published " Description of an
Electric Telegraph, and of some other
Electric Apparatus Mr.. Ronalds was
too far ahead Of his time, and too purely
man of science, to secure a bearing for
bis discovery in those early days, and it
was left to others to mature bis idea, and
to establish the system which his prophetic
eye bad foreseen would one day tran Storm
the world. Il was not till 1887, four
teen years after Mr.. Ronalds pamphlet
that Messrs- Cooke 4 Wheatone took out
their first patent. The science and prac-
teal skill of these and other eminent cleo
tricians, have brought electrical commu-
nication to its present state; but the great
fact remains that Mr.. Ronalds' was the
first to demonstrate practically the principle
which they have developed. At last, thanks
to Mr.. Gladftone's sympathy with genius,
the special merits of Ronalds as a pioneer
in this great field Of action have received
q public recognition. Mr.. Ronalds, al
though still an active devotee Of science,
is now in very advanced age. A little
longer and bis honors might have come
too late.-PaH Mall Gazette
