WONDERS OF ELECTRICAL
SCIENCE AT THE FAIR.

ing and Cloth Cuttins-Hatchins
Chickens in Electric Incubators-
Submarine Telegraphy.
After person has examined the exhibits
OF the Electricity Building. he might we'll bid
'adieu to sensation Of astonishment, writes q
Chicago correspondent Of the New York
Post. He is in mental attitude which. ac-
cepts oil things as possible. When he has
seen real thunderbotS made and launched.
facsimile letters and drawings transmitted
by electricity, even chickens Matched and
roasted by electricity, credulity is likely to
be his chief characteristic, and nothing after
wards can seem very surprising.
In the west gallery the Gray National Tel
autograph Company make an exhibit OF the
last and, one might almost say, greatest cleo
trical marvel. Professor. Elisha Gray has
been known to the world many years for his
improvements In telegrsphy, but his latest
invention, the telautograph or long-distance
writing machine, quite eolipses his previous
efforts. More or less has been heard OF this
device In the last few years, but 1t has only
recently been perfected for commercial uses.
1t consists Of two instruments, transm1tter
and receiver, each provided with a roll OF
paper Of fconvenient size for writing. Both
together are about half the size Of type
writer. In.writing at the transmitter, an or
dinary pencil is used, near the point OF which
two small cords are fastened at right angles
to each other. These connect with the in
strument, and, following the movements
of the pencil, regulate the current impulses
which guide the reoeiving-pen at the distant
station. The paper is shifted forward by
little lever, giving an electric impulse
which moves In like manner the
paper in the receiver at the other
end of the line. The receiving pen is capil-
larry glass tube supplied with ink and placed
at the junction Of two aluminium arms. The
electrical impulses conducted over the wires
move the pen of the receiver simultaneously
and In the same directions as the pencil OF the
sender. and an ink tracing is left which Is an
exact reproduction in every dot and flourish
of the original writing or drawing. The ex-
hibit is arranged like central station, and
any two subscribers might be placed In COM
municatlon through 1t In the same way as
they now are upon the telephone; one writes
what he wishes and keeps or destroys what
he has written, the other receives and retains
his communication in the handwriting OF the
sender, and that is the complete yet sole
record OF the transaction. Accuracy ana
secrecy are secured, the wires cannon De
tapped or the message overheard, no opera
tor is necessary, and any kind OF figures from
shorthand to Chinese characters may be sent
with equal ease. AS one sits writing at one
table, 1t seems almost uncanny to see at an
adjacent table q pen with no guiding hand

RUSSIA TAKES A HAND.
Seizure Of British and American Seal
ers by Man-of- War.

The sealing schooner Viva cams into port
at Victoria, British Columbia. and announced
the seizure of the Victoria ssalers AnoSa
and Minnie and two American sealers by
Russian man-of-war for sealing within the
zone protected around Copper Island.
The papers OF the AinoXa and Minnie vera
confscated and they were ordered to pro-
ceed TO Yokohama for trial before the British
Consul or Admiralty Court. 1t appears likely
that the Victoria sealerS will run in and dis
charge the orders.
The Captain OF the Viva says he saw the
Minnie taken, and says she was thirty miles
out from the islands. The Russians say size
was only twenty-five miles out.

THE Chinese have been crowding Into
vladivostock in such great numbers that the
Russians have become alarmed and have
forbidden any entrance Of Chinese coolies at
that port until further orders. In the first
three months OF this year no less than 10, EGO
coolies were given passports at Chefoo for
Vladivostock. At such rate the Russians
at this Pacific seaport OF Siberia would soon
have been outnumbered.
