THE telephonograph is the inven-
ton of an Atlanta, Georgia, man and
is expected to transmit and phono-
graphically register sounds in visible
signs capable of certain and prompt
translation into written language.
The entire machine is electric and
automatic. The main value of this
instrument is that it will do away
with all necessity for telegraph
operators. requiring only one man in
an Office, and abolishing a vast
amount Of red-tapeism in tele-
graphy. Its greatest advantage,
however, will be to the newspaper
press of the country, for with one Of
these simple instruments in the com,
posing room copy from the instru'
ment can be furnished to the printers
whose only previous preparation will
be days stndy OF the photographic
alphabet in order to become familiar
with the signs. Once familiar to the
printer, he can take piece of thil
copy and set it up in type as readily
as reprint.

REPRESENTATIVE BANNING, Chair

man of the House Military Commit
tee, has reported two army bills. The
number of enlisted is reduced to co.
900; the cavalry regiments from ten
to six, artillery from five to three, and
infantry from twenty-five 70 fifteen,
consisting of three battalions OF four
companies each. A reduction is made
in the Adjutant- Generals and In
spector Generals departments, the
Bureau of Justice is abolished, and
some other minor changes are made.
The pay of officers is considerably
reduced, as follows: The General,
$4,000 a year; Lieutenant General,
$4,000; Major General, $4,000; Briga-
der General, $4,000; Colonel, $4,000
Major, $4,000; Captain (mounted),
$500; Captain mot mounted), $1,-
coo; First Lieutenant (mounted), 21,-
600; First Lieutenant mot monntedl,
$1,4OO; Second Lieutenant (mounted),
$1,000; Second Lieutenant mot
mounted), $1,000; Ordnance Store
keeper, $1,000. There is a sill ght in
crease in the pay of non-commis,
stoned officers. The two bills reduce
the cost of the army between five and
six million dollars. Congress will
probably adopt some Of the best pro-
visions of these bill, but the number
of enlisted men should not be re-
duced.
