4 lHE BOSTON 1ABLE.-4ne oOio HI
News Of last evening states that at til
Western Union Telegraph Company
Office in Virginia something new in tn
way Of telegrHphy vas received yesterd'!
morning. 1, is what is called the Boston
table or qusdrnplex system. The ma
chinery is very delicate and requires
careful adjusting to secure perfect work
ing. The qusdruplex will be put il
operation between Virginia City and Sal
| Francisco. For the benefit of those who
have never read OF the workings Of THU
system We will explain that the object OF
it il to send four different messages on
the same line Mt the same tine. Thus
il is possible TO receive two messenger
from San Francisco at the came time two
are being sent to San Francisco: or three
may be sent one way and one the other
or all four messages may be sent one way.
But one wire is required. This system
when first inaueurated came near driving
| all the operators of the country wild, but
since then it has been simplified and
perfected. SO that il is not quite 90 diff
cult. Three hundred extra cups vii! be
required at this end of the wire. A sim
liar arrangement Was received by the
Western Union before the great fire If
last October, but il was burned before it
was put in operation.

parently darted or glided from place TO
