TELEGRAPH AND TYPEWRITER.

watched telegraph operator Yesterday
as he clicked on "a typewriter the words that
came over the wire. The trip trip of the
typewriter sounded SO much like the dot
dash of the telegraph instrument that it
seemed curious that no confusion was occa-
stoned. 1t seemed inevitable that le two
noises must sometimes lead to a doubt in
the operators mind. But when | spoke to
him about this he said:
There is no real similarity between these
sounds so far as the trained ear is con-
cerned. That is not the chief difficulty in
this combination. The difficulty is in spoa-
taneous striking the right typewriter letter,
IN turning the lines correctly and in not
making slip that will make it impossible
for you to keep with the telegraphic kew.
Of course the typewriter is more rapid
than the Morse system can be made,
but the turning Of the lines, the
spacing and the hyphenating at
tue ending of the lines when you neglect to
carry owes the whole word, bring down
the speed very closely to the key You see,
the telegraph operator has to make some
times five distinct dots or dashes for each
letter, while the typewriter key makes
made by very slight motion, however,
while the typewriter stop has to have
certain frmuesS equivalent in expended
force to several Of the telegraph KEY
motions.
This combination of typewriter and tele-
graph key has been in operation for some
time on news work, bat it is only now
coming into experimental work on general
work. They are trying receiving and copy
ing with the typewri er. This innovation
advances slowly, because there are difaoul.
ties to overcome. You see in ne VS. work a
slight variation in the phraseology might
not make great difference SO hong as the
sense is preserved. In private telegram
there must rot be hairs breadth Of varia-
ton in any particular.
"At first there was difficulty about chang

VORACIOUS CREATURES.

African Ants That Put to Flight All Other
Inhabitants of the Forest.
There are a great many species of
ants, some of which are found in vast
numbers. The most remarkable and
most dreaded of all is the bashikouGy,
and is most voracious crea ture, which
carries nothing away, but eats its prey
Z on the spot 1t is the dread of all liv-
: ing animals of the fOrest-the elephant,
the leopard, the gorilla and all the in
sect woodland man himself is COM
PEELED to fee before the advance Of
these marauders, or to protect himself
by fire and boiling water. 1t is the
habit of the bashikouay TO march
through the forest in long, regular
line, about two inches broad or more,
and often miles in length. All along
the line larger ants, who act as officers,
stand outside the ranks and keep
the singular army in order. II they
come to a place where there are no trees
to shelter them from the sun, the heat
of which they can not bear, they inn
mediately burrow under ground and
form tunnels 1t often takes more than
twelve hours for one of these armies to
pass
When they grow hungry, at certain
command which seems TO take place all
along the line at the same time, the
long file spreads itself through the for
est in front line and attacks and de-
YOURS all it overtakes with fury that is
quite irresistible. All the other living

rection where the other animals are fee
ing away.

! fed in haste for dear life in the same
direction the animals had taken, and the
middle of stream became my refuge.
Their manner of attack is an impetuous
leap. instantly the strong p;ncers are
fastened. and they only let go when the
piece gives way. They even ascend to
the top of the trees for their prey. This
ant seems to be animated by kind of
fury, which causes it entirely to disre-
gard its own safety and seek only the
conquest of its prey. Sometimes men
condemned to death on account of witch
craft are made fast to a tree, and If an
army of hungry bashikouays passes, in
