TIE TELAUT0GRAPH.
TRANSMITTING WRITING AND
PICTURES BY WIRE.
Recording Letters, Figures, Signs
and Sketches Sent From a Dis
tance-Professor Gray's Won
derful Invention.

|IX years ago last February Pro-
~ fessor Elisha Gray, who has al
= most devoted his life to the
perfecting of systems OF COM
munication by electricity, conceived the
idea of inventing an instrument which
would transmit writing by telegraph.
He has labored necessarily since then,
and at his factory at Highland Park has
made thousands of experiments, but none
of them was satisfactory until quite re-
Gently, when the telautograph, or long
distance writing machine, was evo lved.
The telautograph, as its name implies
enables person to transmit instant ane-
ously c.simile of his handwriting or
sketching to distance. 1t consists of
a transm1tter and a receiver. The struc-
ture of these instruments is remarkably
simple, is devoid of complication, and
the mode of operation is in all respects
direct and positive. The methods for
transmitting the electric impulses to the
line and then converting them in the
receiver into the corresponding move
ments of the automatic pen are all alike
distinguished by simplicity and direct
ness. Being of positive char acter,
they are, therefore, not dependent upon
or Influenced by accidental changes in
conditions. In the transmitter an or

Sugar From Cotton Seed.

The cotton plant, which has for so
many centuries furnished large part OF
the population of the globe with cloth
ing, seems to be almost without limit in
its usefulness, remarks a scientific au-
thority.
From the SEED valuable oil is ex-
pressed, while the husks form an article
of food for cattle in the shape of cakes.
From the lint which clin2s to the seed
after it has passed through the 'gin"
felt is made. while the oil extracted from
the seed is applied to quite large mum.
Der of purposes. But, according to the
British Consul, Mr.. Portal, OF Zanzibar,
Africa, cotton seed is also capable Of
yielding sugar. A process has been dis
covered for extracting sugar from cotton
seed meal, and, though the details OF
this process have not been disclosed, it
is said that the product obtained is OF
very superior grade, being fifteen times
sweeter than cane sus gar and twenty times
more so than sugar made from beet.
This indicates that sweetness is not due
to cane sugar, but to some other chemi-
cal.-Scientifc American.

the pen passes over the paper an Ink
tracing is left, which is always fac
simile of the sender's motions, whether
in the formation of letters, words, fig
ures, signs or sketches.
Yesterday afternoon in Professor
Gray's Office, the telautograph was tested,
an artist and a reporter for the Herald
being present. The longest connection
was made with Waukegan, and mes
sage sent from that place was faithfully
and accurately recorded by the receiver. {.
In addition to the written message a
drawing of flower was received accu.
rately.
The working of telautograph is no
simple that after very little practice any
cne can work it. Transmitters were
placed in one end of the room and re-
ceivers IN the other land messages writ ten
by dozen different persons after two or
three attempts. Exact reproductions OF
their handwriting were shown on the re-
ceiver at the other end.
The writing tests having been sat!s-
factorlly made, the Herald artist set to
work to try the telautograph as a
draughtsman. 1t was his first acquaint.
ance with the instrument, but after FIVE
minutes practice he produced the ac-
companying sketches, which were, as
can be seen, faithfully reproduced on
the receiver.
The advantages of the telautograph
to business men are untold. 1t can be
connected anywhere with the ordinary
telegraph wire, aud merchant can con-
duct his ordinary correspondence and
transact matters of importance without
the medium OF an operator. He can send
instructions from his office to the fac
tory, close by or many miles distant,
having the same delivered in his own
handwriting. A banker can sign check
in New York without moving from his
Office in Chicago. In newspaper work
the telautograph will be valuable aid.
Sketches of important events can be sent
hundreds of miles, the artist having a
transmitter and there being receiver in
the Office.

binary lead pencil is used, near the
point of which two silk cords are fast
ened at right angles to each other.
These cords connect with the instrument
and, following the motions OF the pen
Gil, regulate the current impulses which
control the receiving pen at the distant
station. The writing is done on ordinary
paper. FIVE inches wide, conveniently
arranged on roll attached to the ma
chine. A lever at the left is 80 moved
by the hand as to shift the paper forward
mechanically at the transmitter and
electrically at the receiver.
In the receiver the receiving pen Is
capillary glass to be placed at the june
ton of the two aluminium arms. This
glass pen is supplied with ink which
flows from a reservoir through small
rubber tube placed in one of the arms.
The electrical impulses coming over the
wire move the pen of the receiver stimuli
taneously with the movements of the
pencil in the hand of the sender. As

A Poets Turn Of Luck.

When six years ago JOAQUIN Miller
went to California and bought tract of
land a mile east of Oakland people
laughed, writes E. ". Box. And for
a number of years the poet himself al
most believed that the people were right.
Miller bought at that time what was
probably one of the most unpromising
pieces of property in California. The
tract consisted OF 100 acres, and nearly
all of it lay on steep and stony noun
tain side. The eccentric poet went at
the cultivation of his new possession with
a will. And he did mostly all of his
work alone. Soon the property began
to show the hand of progress. But it
REQ uire5 work of the hardest kind. And
durin all this time the land was fast
provi ng, even the poet almost believed,
the worst type of an ''elephant." Now,
however, the land is almost park Of tho
most picturesque order. On 1t the poet
has planted 5000 fruit trees, hundreds
of olive trees, and miles of rare roses.
Springs were introduced; trout brooks
were stocked; walks and drives were
made. Water is plentiful on the place,
and that counts for everything on Cali,
fornian place. The poet is now, Am
told, beginning to see the rewards for
his labors. He ships his roses to Den.
yer in the winter, and four weeks ago
one of his first shipments came to the
New York market. The roses are of be
finest specimens, command good prices,
and from this branch of his possessions
alone It is not unlikely that Joaquin
Miller may soon acquire neat little in
come. His place is in the direct grow
ing line of Oakland, and the city Is
gradually approaching the poets habita-
ton. He does but little work with the
pen, but devotes nearly all his time to
the further cultivation Of his place and
the development of the industries posi-.
bic from its products.-New York Re.

Putnam's Wolf Den.

There is no spot in Connecticut that
has more fairly earned place in historic
annals than Putnam's wolf den in POM
fret, north of Norwich. 1t is craggy,
precipitous hill range, bristling with
Jagged rocks, south of the Mashamoquet
and between the Newichewanna and
Blackwell's brooks. There is great
probability that the woods will be con-
vertcd into State memorial park. Peti-
tic rs to this effect have been presented
in the Legislature, and the large number
of influential residents in favor of the
project will in likelihood have the effect
of bringing about favorable action.
The story of General Putnam's bravery
and of the old she VOLTS exploits, pur-
suit and slaughter is known to the civil
lied world, and the den is included
among the notable places in America.
Phoebe Ann Clapp, of Pomfret, is the
present owner of the ground. It is vir-
tually in the same condition as in Put.
nam's day, except that century OF visit
ors have left their names on the rocks.
The mouth of the haunt is about two

The Scheme OF a Photo srapher.

A New York photographer has adopted
a plan which was in operation here last
summer, and is following it with great
success. He takes for his field of opera
ton the better portions of town, and,
when the sun is warm enough to bring
the children out in force, he goes forth
with his camera. When number OF
we'll dressed children are encountered
they are asked if they Don't want their
pictures taken. As may be imagined,
the children are delighted with the sug-
gestion. The photographer groups them
artisticallY, takes an impression, and
then gets the address Of each. A week
or two later he calls on the parents and
offers the pictures, handsomely finished
and mounted, for sale. The children
surrounded by their companions IN a
pretty group make an instantaneous ap-
peal to the parental eye, and it is an e1-
ceptional case when at least one or two
are not purchased.-Chicago Herald.

Suall-Pox in Wall Paper.

'Many years ago person was sick OF
small pox in farm house in the country
town of Groton, and after the patient
recovered the dwelling was fumigated
and repspcred. Ira Chester and family
now dwell IN the house. The paper was
removed week or so ago, and presently
Mr.. Chester's daughter was stricken with
smallpox. In the opinion of the ply
sician the germs of the disease were
dormant in the walls of the roon."
The above clipping from the Cincinnati
Enquirer makes good the claims of sani-
tarians, that all disease germs ind hid
ing place in wall paper, with its vegetable
paste to hold it on the wall, and its
animal, glue 20 hold its colors; that
these, to cay the least, are not the
best materials with which to cover
so much space around us as the walls IN
which we live and sleep, and that paper
and glue are great absorb Its of mols-
ture, of which every person throws OH
a certain number Of ounces in exhala.
tions every day. and that such decaying
material as glue and paste gives off de-
leterious gases in such small quantities
that we do not discover them, though
those who study it can smell it in most
rooms papered, and especially where a
number of layers of paper have been
pasted upon each other.
Sanitariaps claim that these conditions
have mole to do with our i'll health than
we are aware of; that such state of
things in the room in which we live af-
fects us more Tor better or worse than
does change of climate; that it would
be cheaper, at least. to try change OF
room or one coated with some ncn-de-
csyipg material, before going to the ex-
pense and trouble of change Of climate.

The Banana Rat.

A peculiar looking visitor from Cen.
trail America has arrived in this city.
He is undoubtedly "stowaway," as he
arrived by Central American steamer
from Yumuri to New Orleans, thence to
Chicago by rail, hidden in cargo OF
bananas and was not on the bill of lad
Ing. The stranger was found concealed
in large bunch of bananas. 1t is said
to be a "banana rat," but it bears but
little resemblance to the ordinary rat.
Its nose is long, ears large, eyes large,
black and lustrous, forehead wide, max
ing it look like a bear. Its mouth
opers far back towards its ears, and the
