upon the blacklist, which would forever
prevent his getting employment in any Of
the company's Offices. Then, the nature
OF the experienc ced operator is such that
the sound Of the message goes in through
his ears and the information ooZes out
from his fingers as he writes it down,
none of it being retained by him. dare
say there is not one operator in this room
who can recall even the sense of a mes

when he reaches his home. So with a
telegraph operator. He almost mechanically
transmits the message, then forgets it"
II suppose you are often in the possess
sion of state secrets?"
"Yes. occasionally" Mr.. Martin re-
piled. "As usual thing these messages
are sent in the naval cipher. but this takes
some time to translate and arrange. so that
when there is rush common everyday
words are used. During the Chilean
trouble, for instance, there were some
pretty lively messages sent in good, plain
English over the wires-messages that
newspapers would have given a good deal
to get hold of. but not q word was ever
said about them."

onu which it takes for the ele ctric-

no no delay by this repeating; indeed, there

tnaC would carry direct to Chicago, but
with the aid of repeaters the force at the
recrlVlng end is greater and the result
more satisfactory; the noise of the sounder
In one instance being more audible and the
Wheatstone, In the other, doing more sat
isiactory service"
Quadruplex ielegraphy consists in the
simultaneous transmission of two messages
from each end of the line; then four differ
ent kilograms are flying at one and the
same time over the same wire, two going
and two coming, and they are not getting
mixed In transmission either. To one not
student of electric science Ii is difficult 10
understand how this can be done, and the
technical terms used only serve to mystity,
so let Mr.. Martin explain.
ou notice these two receivers or
sounders," he says. "Well, one ot them
is more difficult to move than the other, for
it has sitter spring holding the lever in
position. We will call that A, and the
instrument which is more easily infiu-
enced b. Over the wire, say from Sacra-
mento. come two currents, one strong and
the other weak. The latter current is not
OF sufficient strength to attract the magnet
OF a, which is held back by the stiff
spriGg. whereas it is intense enough to set
b moving. The strong current, however,
acts upon a. You ask why does not this
strong current act also upon B and undo
the work being done by the weaker cur
rent and cause confusion? The answer
is this: Every one who has studied
even the first principles of electricity
