Story Of the Ticker.

In the receiving-room in the fourth
story of the Western Union Building
are six clerks with instruments before
them. The central figure is the opera
tor who receives all the dispatches from
the reporters of the Stock Exchange.
He writes them quickly and plainly on
q slip of paper and sticks it in a frame
in front of him. The frame is so placed
that the two operators can see the fig
ures plainly. The operator on the right
runs the stock '.tickers." and the one
ON the left the general news ''tickers."
The first-named operator has a set OF
black and white keys, precisely like q
piano, set before him. The keys are
marked with letters and numbers. That
keyboard operates all the stock tick
ers" in this city and ..tickers' as far
away rs Newark and Orange. The Op-
orator reproduces every quotation. The
general news operator takes only the
more important quotations. He also
reproduces what appears on tape OF
Kiernan's financial ticker that reels
off before him. He works on key
board of different pattern, in which the
KEYS are set in two concentric circles.
These are the two great and impOr-
tant divisions of the "ticker." 1t is
estimated that when business in
the exchange is running at an
ordinary rate . quotation can be
caught by the reporter, telegraphed to
the central office. be sent out again, and
reappear on all tapes inside of half a
minute. When business is livelier the
operators fall somewhat behind the quo
tations. but five minutes is the extreme
time of delay. A broker makes sale,
and before he can get back to his Office.
. few blocks away, it is there on the
&" ticker ahead of him. The two other
operators in the receiving room receive
reports from the Mining Exchange and
send them out on the mining ticker
There is another instrument in the room
which records in telegraphic dots and
dashes every dispatch received from the
Stock and Mining Exchanges. 1t is in.

Besides having reporters in the Stock
Exchange, the company has similar re-
porters in the Mining, Produce and Cot
ton Exchanges. Their reports are re.
ceived by operators in the large hall OF
the Western Union Telegraph Company
and are sent out from there. The time

lines on a wider tape. one being the title
of the stock. and the other its price.
The single line instrument is run by
weights and the two-line or three-wire
instrument is run by electrical power
from the central office. The 1853 or

there the new firm, about April LIST, will
move their stock, which they propose ad

High School Aid.

For sometime past there has been
vague but pardonable feeling Of uneasiness
among those interested in the high schooi
project, lest for some unaCCoutable rea-
son the state board should act unfavOiably
on our application for aid. The delays,
conflicting rumors, and other causes con
spired to create doubts, but happily ali
fears on this score proved groundless, as
on last Friday afternoon the high school
board, Gov. Hubbard and Prof. s Folwell
and Kiehle, were in session, and the appli
cation of the school at this place to be ad-
mitted to the benefits of the high school
act was favorably considered. The ap
plications of Alexandria and Fergus Falls,

Their information. This is somewhat sin.
gular for we had supposed and hoped that
those towns were up with The times, but as
we judged of their advancement by our
own standard, they either don't come up
TO our expectations or else we are further
ahead than we thought we were. IN this
connection it might he proper to say, that
in conversation with Gov. Hubbard and
Prof. Kehlc the first of this week, these
distinguished gentlemen paid the people of
Morris many handsome compliments for
the deep and untiring interest manifested
in matters educational.
