on Electricity and the Electric Tele-

Mr.. Robert w. Johnston, Postmaster OF the

quoted some of the statistics of the Postal
Telegraph system, which are interesting
and instructive at the present moment.
He showed that whereas the earliest tele-

Quired a separate wire for each letter OF
the alphabet, and that in the first really
practical telegraph two wires were neceS-
sary for the transmission of a single mes
sage, as many as four messages can now
be sent on a single wire at the same time
that the 5000, 600 of kilograms forward
ed by all the companies in their palmieSt
days had increased to more than 81 100000
forwarded by the Post Office last year, and
that whereas it might be remembered
when the charge for a message from
Edinburgh to London was something like
lbs. Cd, it was now possible to telegraph
from Sicily to Shetland, or from Jersey to
John o'Groat's for Is. Fifty thousand
miles of wire in 1870 had increased to con-
siderably more than 100, 900 in 1882: 1900
instruments worked by all the companies
had increased to nearly 5000 worked by
the Post Office: and $500 telegraph offices
under the old regime had increased to
more thar $500 under the new. -Four
thousand persons of all classes employed
by the companies had increased to nearly
10000 employed by the Post Office, and of
these about 1,600 were women, of whom
600 are employed in the Central Telegraph
office alone. AS to the transmission of
news for the Press, the Post Office had
