J. H. Rogers Of Washington who has already achieved
fame by inventing the pan-electrc telephone. The
system based the synchIOnOus revolution of two
wheels, at the sending and the other at the re
ceivng station. This has been attained before but
by such complicated methods that no great commercial
benefits have resulted. Mr. Rogers secures the stimuli
taneity of revolution by an arrangement for sending

with a machine which punctures series Of holes.

is then run through the sending instrument and the
message is printed in Roman letters at the receiving

method Of sending IS by sort OF typewriter having

by this system OF biography from 200 TO 500

vantage over The Morse system. by which only thirty
words minute be sent, is apparent. The general
adoption of the system would therefore greatly
decrease the number OF wires needed for telegraph
Besides, in the synchTOnou, systom. ten operators

rg,Fr SHOULD NOT CHEAT HIMSELF.


Some law students and a reporter happened 10 pass
an evening together and the conversation turned TO
stories of court room scenes. Finally one OF the
young men, recurring tho traditions Of his native
place told this incident Of odtme justice IN Western
New-YOrk:
II was some time back IN the fOrties man
oroke into al LvOnia, Livingston County, and
carried of large amount of dry goods He was pur-
sued caught and taken 10 Geneseo for trial, on an
Indictment for grand larceny. There was no denying
the facts OF the case. and Il became evident to the
counsel for the defence that this client would certainly
be convicted. unless he could free him tecui
cay. Not seeing any way to do This. he finally
concluded TO make The crime appear as light pos
sible. He therefore put in the plea that his client
should be convicted not of grand larceny but of petit
larceny. His Argument that the goods stolen
not OF the actual value named in the Indictment,
and that, his client should have the benefit of the
difference. This would have made the crime only
petit larceny. This argument was TOO much for the
equanmity Of the Judge without waiting for the
DstictAtiOrney 10 object, he ntericred and delivered
this remarkable opinion: Hold on. sir / object.
