A Texas Invention.

Mr.. Leander Walker, living ten
miles east of Dallas, has patented an
Improvement in traction engines. The
engine is intended for running on com.
mon roads and rails, and to be used for
drawing plows, and as II motive power
generally. 1t can also be used az a
stationary engine. The nature of the
invention consists mainly in trans
hitting motion to the driving wheels
ana transporting by means OF the fric-
ton OF n long rotary shaft inclosed in-
side OF elongated hubs of said wheels.
The invention further consists in COM
bining friction pressure wheels with
the hubs of the driving wheels for in.
creasing the friction of the latter. The
inventor is very sanguine of the sue.
cess Of his invention, and will soon
take steps to introduce it in Texas and
elsewhere.

A Fac-Simile Telegraph.
From the New York Tribune.

William f. Sawyer of this city, formerly
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Trareller, and James q. Smith of Hacken
sack. New Jersey, have invented an instru.
ment by which 1t is claimed fac-similes of
letters, pictures, or maps, may be transmitted
by telegraph. 1t is asserted that bY this pro-
cess mistakes and wilful changes are impos-
sibe The message is written upon ordinary
paper with any ink of an oily nature. The
paper is placed upon hot zinc plate and
passed between friction rollers, which throws
the design npon the metallic plate, the lines
being made non. conductors by means OF pow
dered shellac. The negatived plate is then
placed around a cylinder which can be made
to revolve 500 times minute. Above this
are carried metallic points, which, when the
instrument is in motion, draw fine imaglna-
nv spiral line. AT the receiving instrument
are similar points, drawing similar lines
over sheet of paper, chemically prepared,
placed upon the cylinder of that instrument.
These latter points, by means OF the continu-
ing and ceasing of the electrical current, in
scribe upon the prepared paper the lines on
the zinc plate, thus giving an exact repro.
ductlon of the writing or picture drawn
thereon The ordinary speed of the fac-sim-
lie instrument Is from three to four times, 1t
is claimed, that of the Morse telegraph. Its
gauge OF speed, however, Is tue hUouut vi
surface coverel rather than the number OF
words transmitted, and 800 words, written
within certain space, are as easily, quickly
and cheaply sent. the inventors say, as one
word within the same space.
During the Centennial exhibition, speci.
men of the fac-simile telegraph was placed
in machinery hall, connecting with another
instrument at the weather bureau in Wash.
ing,on. BY means of it the signal-service
weather map, made out at Washington, was
daily transmitted to the exhibitions grounds,
including the facsimile signature a the Sc
cretary of war, which daily appears upon
this map, and, having been Autographed
was printed and distributed precisely as ii
had been made out in Washington. The in
ventors claim that the use of these instru
ments in the various signalservicc stations
would be very valuable, as the reports to the
headquarters could be made more full and
minute, and the return reports more sailstac'
tory and comprehensive than they can pos
sibly be IN the meagre word.map now fur
nished by the common telegraph. The pro
prietors of the patent are striving to obtain
sufficient capital to form Geographic line
between Washington and this city.
