FAC SMILE TELEGRAPH
How a Manuscript Picture May lie
Electrically Transmitted.

How manuscript or Picture May he
Electrically Transmitted.
The fac-simile telegraph, by which
manuscripts, maps or pictures may be
transmitted, is species of the auto
matte method, in which the receiver is
actuated spontaneously with its trans
mitter BY LenOir's method picture
or map is outlined with insulating ink
upon the cylindrical surface of rotat-
ing drum, which revOlves under point
having a slow movement along the
axis of the cylinder, and thus the con-
Quoting point goes over the cylindrical
surface in a spiral path. The electrical
circuit will be broken by every ink
mark on the cylinder which is in this
path, and thereby corresponding marks
are made in 4 spiral line by an ink
marker upon drum at the receiving
end.
'-j1O produce these outlines it is nec-
essary that the two drums be rotated
in unison. This system is of little
utility, there being no apparent de-
mand for fac-simile transmission, par
ticularly at so great an expense of
speed. for it will be seen that instead
of making character of the alphabet
by very few separate pulses. as is
done by Morse, the number must be
greatly increased. Many dots be-
come necessary to show the outlines
OF the more complex characters.
The pantelegraph is an interesting
type of the fac-simile method. In
this form the movements of pen in
the writer's hand produce correspond
ing movements of a pen at the distant
station and thereby a facsimile
record. -Scribner's Magazine.

Prof Wood of the University
OF Pennsylvania made statement at
New Haven that was rather remark
able when he said that not 20 per cent
OF the graduates of American medical
colleges could pass the examination re-
quired in Germany for license to
practice. This is very hard on our
colleges. but the worthy professor
meant perhaps, that the reason the
young doctors could not pass those ex-
aminations was because not 20 per cent.
OF them were sufficiently familiar with
the German lanauaaa.

LONGEVITY AND SLEEP.
According to Mr.. Gladstone q Close Con-
Dection Exists Between Them.

According to Mr.. Gladstone q Close Con-
nection Exists Between Them.
Not long ago Mr. Gladstone at.
tributed his sound health to the "great
gift of sleep" He declared that he
always got seven hours and sometimes
eight. He never took bis worries to,
bed. but dismissed them promptly at
the hour of retiring. Napoleon could
get along very we'll on three or four
hours sleep in the twenty-four. But,
he did not reach old age. His captiv--
ity might have had something to do
with shortening his life There have
been few great workers who have,
been poor sleepers. But very few of
these ever reached extreme old age.
Horace Greeley could drop off to sleep
in church or in a railway car with
wonderful facility. He had the gift of
sleep, but not the gift of dismissing
his worries. If ever man was wor-
ried out of his life because of political
events. it was probably Horace Gree
ley.
Daniel Webster said on hearing OF
his defeat for a Presidential nomina-
ton, that he should sleep as soundly
as ever. But it was well known that
the defeat of his Presidential aspira-
tons embittered his closing years. He:
might have had the gift of sleep but.
he did not have the gift of dismissing.
fruitless worries, John Bright was a;
poor sleeper and admitted that he took
his cares and anxieties to bed.
There is some satisfactory evidence
that the duration of human life is
greater than it was half century ago
DR.. Todd, president of the Georgia
Medical Society, affirms that mortuary
statistics confirm this theory. Thus
the average of life in France is now
forty-five years, against thirty-eight
fifty years ago. The present average
found in fifty cities and towns in En-
gland he places at fifty. He claims
that the United States leads all other
countries with an average duration OF
ffty-five years. These estimates are
extremes. 1t is probable. however
that the average duration of life IN
this country is gradually increasing
Temperate living prevails to greater
extent than ever before With tenn
perance and moderation there is less
excitement, consequently more rest
and more sleep. 1t is certain that the
gift of sleep goes with longevity

Charles L. Spencer, of No. 7O7 Spruce
street, met with an instant and horrible
death about o'clock list night. He
was conductor OF extra freight train No.
16, on the Delaware Railroad, the engi-
neer Of which was Peter McConaughy.
The train runs over what is known as the
Edgemoor cutoff. When at New Castle,
near Delaware street, the train suddenly
parted. 1t Is supposed by the trainmen
that the unfortunate man was standing
on top OF the car, and when the train
parted, the conclusion was SO great that
he was precipitated to the track and
that several cars ran over him. The
engineer, finding that the train had
parted, blew for brakes and the train
was stopped. a
Upon going back they found Spencer
lying with his head alongside of the track,
the b9dy being crushed In a horrible
manner.
His right arm was cut of, also both
feet, and his body burst completely open.
Drath must have been instantaneous
The portions OF the body were gathered
together, and word telegraphed to this
city, and the Coroner notified, who gave
permission to have them removed to this
city. They were brought here on freight
train, No. 70.
Deputy Coroner Barnh III at once took
charge of the body, and with assistance
sewed 1t up, after which 1t was removed
to his late home
