write message to me, and as your pencil
moves pencil here in my laboratory moves
simultaneously, and forms the same letters

write in Chicago is instantly reproduced at
the designated point in fac-s mile. You may

designated. If you wish to draw picture

where desired. The artist Of your newspa-

where the message is deivered-move syn.
enormously, and there is no reason, he sage,
"why circuit Of five hundred miles cannot
be worked as easily as one OF ten miles. Z" The
process presupposes, as in the case OF the
telephone, that the instruments shall be
alike at both ends of the line, Ard that
they shall be brought into connection
with each other when one person wishes 10
communicate with another by the telautograph
