WRITING MACHINE.
[Fron the waghington Republleap.

The first of the writing machines
manufactured in New York has been
received by +. s. Belden. phonetic
reporter of this city. The invention
was made in England. but it has
been added, TO and improved in this
country. The machine is about the
same size as an ordinary sewing
machine, and can he worked by a
child who can spell. as easily as by
a grown person. 1t consists of a
series Of forty-two keys, to which
are attached steel hammers, and
each one of these represents a letter,
a figure, or punctuation mark. The
keys are arranged in four rows, like
the keys of an organ. and are op-
Grated on precisely the same princi-
pie The hammers are arranged in
a circle, and when the key is pressed
the corresponding letter moves to the
centre, receding again Immediately
when the pressure is removed. A
space key is provided, by means
of which the spaces between words
are made. Mr. Washhurn of San
Francisco. patented an Improvement
on the machine, and he contemplates
the use Of printers ink. In the or
iginal, the color is taken from pre-
pared ribbon, which is between the
hamuaer and the paper. At the end
of each line the machine is adjusted
for the next line. by means of q
treadle, which is worked by the feet
of the operator. BY this machine
three times as much can be written
as an ordinary man can write. The
Western Union Telegraph Company
has already ordered all that can be
manufactured for the next six
months. They are to be used in
manifolding copy telegraphed to the
press.

Superfcially. the financial crisis

that the grain already here cannot

The fact that the Grand Lodge of Good

The California fish commissioners, with
the object of improving the fish stock of
that State, have undertaken the project of
transporting alive across the continent a
carload Of the best varieties of Atlantic
coast fish not found in California The
car will be sent east by the Central Pacific
railroad to the Cold Spring trout ponds in
Charlestown, where the car will be thor
oughly fitted up previous to its departure,
SO as to form as complete an aquarium as
the circumstances will permit. The car
will probably leave Charlestown for its
western journey the latter part of May,
and is expected to carry eight or ten diff
ferent varieties of live fish, with nearly
1000 gallons of water. The undertaking,
which will be on the largest scale yet
attempted in this line, is in charge of Mr.
Livingstone Stone, deputy commissioner
