NEW METHOD OF TELEGRAPHING.
The Inventors Expect to RevoIutionize
the Present system.

The Inventors Expect to RevoIutionize
the Present system.
CHICAGO, Aug. pa new method of
telegraphing has been tried here. One of
the operators sat at an ordinary receiver
placed in an Office on the first floor of a
building. He used the Morse alphabet
and tapped the message along rubber
tube to his companion on the third floor.
The vibration of the air in the tube caused
mica disc in the receiver upstairs to
tiutter tremulously, and this being con-
nected by an electric wire caused the
hammer to tap the message clearly and
loudly on the receiver.
This was the only place in which cleo
trlclty was used, and one cell was found
sufficient to work the machinery neces-
Sary to receive the message that the vi
brating air sent along the tube. 1t is by
vibration that the inventors propose to
revolutiOniZe the present system Of teleg-
raphy. They claim that with their syS-
tenn the present expensive method of in
sulatiOn with the electric telegraph will
be entirely done away with, and that the
risk of swapping or breaking by over
charges of electricity will be reduced to a
minimum.
The men who invented this system are
William 4. Sloane, John +. Hughes and
Orrin S. Reed. Sloane and Hughes are
gastitters. Thus far messages have been
sent through tubes only ], ,220 feet long,
but experiments will soon be made be-
tween cities remote from each other, and
then it will be known whether vibratory
messages can be sent as clearly and
quickly, and at the same time as far, as
messages by electricity.
