! Singular Burglary

A Singular Burglary.
 f READING, May 1S.-There was most sin
 gular case of burglary early this evening.
 Joseph Smith, German, and wife live at the Hill farm on the road to North Reading. About o'clock while at supper a knock at the door was answered by Mrs. Smith. A suspicious looking man walked into the din ing room without ceremony. Smith asked him his business and for an answer he got knocked down. At this juncture the wife came to the rescue and with billet of wood placed the burglar hors du combat, assisted her husband to his feet and both tied the burglar. Then the husband mounted guard and the wife goes for a policeman. A knock at the door and then enters the burglars pal The latter takes in the situation, re- leases his chum and both tie Smith securely. They then search Smiths pockets, obtain $15 in money and with silverware and jew elry to the value of $50 skip" A po- iceman gets to the house before the wife re- turns, sees Smith bound, takes him for the burglsr and uses his club in masterly fash ion. Enter wife, who mortified hastens to explain it. Exit crestfallen policeman to search for the burglars. Tableau. Quick curtain.

AUroGRAPHIc TELEGRApKY.

Cassell and Mayer are associated with
autographs systems OF telegraphy that de-
serve consideration, because out of these
systems there has come an American in
vention that promises much for cheap
rates. Two pendulums, one at each end of
q line, are set in motion by elock.work,
and the swing or beat of one is made to
electrically correct the motion of the
other, SO that they move together. At
the transmitting end Of the line is a
platen connected with the wire, and on
this is laid sheet of foil on which the
message has been written on certain kind
of ink. A needle or style is made
to pass from side to side over the
foil, moving down a fraction of an
inch between each stroke ION the
principle of the machine tool planer).
While it passes over the foil the circuit is
closed. When it passes the ink marks it
is insulated, and the circuit is broken. At
the receiving end is sheet of paper con-
nected with the earth, and moistened with
certain chemicals. There is also q style
connected with the line, and having the
same planer.like motion. The movement
of the two styles is controlled by the pen
dulums, and they move together. Now
while the circuit is whole, the style leaves
stain or trace on the paper. When the
current is broken no mark is made, and the
paper is left white. In this manner the
letter written ON the foil is produced in
white on blue ground at the receiving
end. This system seemed 20 promise
great deal, and was used op commercial
scale, but its effect on telegraph rates has
not been noticeable.
