A MODERN MARVEL.
Professor Elisha Gray's
TeIautograph.
A DETAILED DESCRIPTION.
Writing and Drawings Reproduced
simultaneously in Fac-Simile
Over Any Length of Wire.

Professor Elisha Gray's telautngraph
was formally exhibited 10 the public yester-
day, says the Chicago Tribune of March D.
For the first time persons not IN the secret
performed the novel and significant act Of
writing over of wire.
Briefly speaking the telautograph is an
instrument whi3h enables person sitting
at one end of the wire to write letter that
a second instrument at the other end of the
line will produce simultaneously fac-simile
1t may supplant neither the telephone nor
telegraph, but experts say it will take its
place beside them in universal utility and
hold it. Tho leng of wire is considered a
matter of no consequence. Whether the
line extends across building or across a
continent it is believed it viii be equally
serviceable and successful
The tests made yesterday over line four
teen miles long were successful in every
respect as the accompanying reproductions
of IS work will show.

in wooden case somewhat smaller than a
typewriter machine. The two instruments
are necessary at each office and stand side
by side. A man can sit at transmitter,
take an ordinary led pencil, write a n ote to
friend, and simultaneously another pencil
at distant station reprOduces the words in
eXHet fac-simile on another piece of paper.
This second pencil is not touched by human
hand, but is manipulated by electrical
mechanism. That is the long and the short
of the telautograph.
To speak mere strictly, in Transmitting
writing on the telautograph an ordinary
feed lead pencil is used, at the point of which
is a small collar with two eyes in its rim.
To each of these eyes small silk cord is
attached, running off in two directions at
right angles Each of the two halves OF
this cord is carried around a small drum
supported on vertical shaft. Under the
drum and attached to the same shaft
is a toothed wheel of steel the
teeth of which are so arranged tn ut
when either section of the cord winds upon
or off its drum a number of teeth VIII
pass a given point corresponding to the
length of cord so wound or UNIV ound For
instance, If the point of the pencil moves
in the direction of one of the cords dis
tanee of one inch, forty of the teeth will
pass any certain point. Each one OF these
teeth represents one impulse sent upon

GREAT EXPECTATIONS.
Foreign Visitors Counted on for Not
Less Than 100000.

P-OOsOOO,UOO.
Boston Transcript
The total amount of money which foreIrn
visitors to the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
lion viii spend in the United States will
doubtless be great, but hardly as great as
some enthusiastic calculators imagine. One
optimist, now long since, placed the amount
to be brought to this country by the fair at
$500 600, In addition to $780, O00, COO to be
spent by Americans who would remain at
nome this summer instead of going abroad.
Both these estimates seem to US to be ex-
eessively high, and based upon incorrect as
sumptlons. 1t is not likely that the aver
age visitor TO Chicago. either American or
foreign, will spend over 500 in that city,
and relatively few foreigners will spend
over $500 elsewhere in the coun-
try We also doubt if over 800. 900
foreigners will be brought to the
United States by the fair alone; that is to
say, 800. 600 who would not come were il
not for the fair. At $500 apiece this would
give result Of $780, 600 as the amount
expended in this country by foreigners
| brought here by the exposition. Some, it is
true, after coming a great distance, would
probably speI several weeks here, but, on
| the other hand, large numbers Will come
under the guidance OF tourist agencies, ETC.,
or in clubs. The latter plan is already
being adopted 10 some extent. especially in
England. These will spend relatively little
money in the United States As to the in
ttuence of another cholera outbreak, while
1t would Of course diminish travel all the
world over. it would tend to send what
travel there was to this continent, II we
keep free from the epidemic as last year.
AS for the amount that Americans who
would otherwise have gone abroad will
spend, a very thOughtless error seems TO
have been made by the calculators. They
have adopted the apparently re liable esti-
mate, made some years ago, that $780,
100000 was annually left abroad by
our globe trotting countrymen, and by
adding 0,000, 600 as the increase in late
years. have assumed that S100 GO coo will
be retained in the United States owing to the
reduction during the Columbian year In the
annual exodus to Europe. But herein lies
serious error 1t seems to be forgotten that
| both the exposition visit and the European
trip may be accomplished with ease in the
same year. Comparatively few of the travel
ing Americans will spend a month or even
their European outing will thus not be seri-
ously Interfored with. We doubt ifthere Will
be a reduction of more than 10 per cent 10
the number of Americans who usually go
abroad.
On the whole we think that 500, 600. COO is
q much mora reasonable estimate of the
amount Of cash which will be brought TO or
retained in this country owing to The expo
sltlon than double that amount which the
enthusiasts claim. Two hundred millions o.
dollars, however, in hard cash will be great
addition to our ready wealth, and, even
emitting the untold indirect additions which
viii follow, IL Will make the exposition
asSuIedly paying investment.

Invitation to His Wedding.


He called upon her on that Thursday
evening as he had called on many preceding
Thursday evenings, and their conversation
was Of the same general character that it
always had been. They discussed the
weather and the neighbors. and the current
society functions.
She had come to have tender regard for
him which would blossom into love il he
would but extend the invitation to do 30,
but she sighed as she waited in vain for
any indication of such an intention on his
part.
On this Thursday evening, as he arose to
90, he said carelessly:

Yie you to my wedding"

this TO be the end of their communings to-

while he spent so much of his time with
her? But right brayely she replied, but not

steps and folded her in his arms, conienied
and happy.
