Too Much Machinery.

You will find that tie newspaper
writers in all the larger Offices use type
writers. The use Of them has extended
in many other directions. Mgr. Satolli

writing on one and composing as he

cran.ped, mechanical, unimaginative,
without the slightest touch of fancy or
vitality.

PRINTING BY TELEGRAPH.
An Electrical Typewriter That Transmits
Printed Characters.


The printing telegraph, though de-
vice of comparatively recent develop
ment, has been the subject of ceaseless
investigation, and practical workers IN
electricity have directed their whole at
tcntion in some instances to the trans
mission Of messages and the recording
OF them il plain Roman characters.
Its advantages are simply those OF an
electrical typewriter, by means of which
the message is printed i'll the presence
Of the transmitting operator in page
form. and duplicate Of the same print
ed ut all the receiving stations on the
line. whether it be 4 long or short cir
cult. A single transmission prints 1t
simultaneously i'll page form ready foS
the compositor's case in all the news
paper offices Of many cities.
1t is said to differ materially from all
other known means of biography i'll one
essential particular. In it the impulses
move the Instruments, whereas i'll other
systems the instruments move the I'M
pulse-that is to say, the transmltter OF
the message is caused to run by sepa-
rate power. No combination of cleo
trical impulse or currents is employed.
An even succession Of dots or impulses.
which operate the polari2ed relay arm::-

position, when the local mechanism
causes the letter to &c printed.
The apparent impossibility OF trans
mittirg printed characters 500 or 1000
miles over u single wire ut once presents
itself to the mind, and it is overcome III
this system, it is asserted, i'll q very
simple way. Each letter of the alphabet
is represented by a certain number OF
impulses, which reyolvo tie type wheel
to tho required position, when tho let
tiers are struck by the LEGAL lnallet.
Fourteen impulses represent the en-,
tire alphabet, making 4 completes revolu,
ton of the type wheel, which may be
turned 200 revolutions per minute, thus
securing very rapid printing Its advan
tage also is that Of absolute secrecy as &

Wool and the New Tariff.

C.iG'On age.
When the subject of putting wool
on the free list was under discussion
in congress, every tlockmaster in the
land, taking their cue from the re-
publican politicians, raised their
hands in holy horror at the idea of
such thing being done. The vast
wool business of the land would be
ruined and the tlockmastcrs would
20 down TO their graves clad only in
the habiiments of poverty. Espe-
ciallv were the interested wool grow
ers of the great west Mortified at the
thought of free wool. But here
comes tidings from the great sheep
growing state CT Montana proving
that before free wool was a year Old
that kind Of democratic legislation
had not oulr not ruined that state.
but that the WOO! business was on a
better footing than under the opera
ton of 4 high protective tariff.
1t seems that Great Falls is the
principal market place for Montana
wool. From that point comes the
information that the sales for the
season have closed with total mar,
ket OF 5,99i,OoO pounds, which would
be swelled by clips probably over
looked to more than 100000
pounds. an excess over last year o!
more than 100000 pounds. The
figures make Great Falls the largest
initia! wool market of the continent
Chicago, Boston and New York woo
brokers were represented there b.
about twenty buyers. The highcs
price paid was to Col. j. Il. Rice, O
Great Falls. for n clip OF 25,0at
pounds at II cents. The clip wa:
sold by sample and shipped from
Fort Benton. In all, 474, 1000 pound:
were marketed there in that manner
The lowest price paid was % cents
and the average is estimated at l
cents, cents better than last year
price. On the whole, the sheep mel
are in good shape. though few hav
cause to regret having overloaded
themselves in the years Of flusl
prices.
Mark the words. Two (2) cent
better than when Mckinleyism wa
rampant! We suggest that ,hos

And here the roses grew
That threw 4 kiss to every man
That voyaged with the crew.
Our siil,er sails in lazy folds
Dropped in the broathless breeze.

While here the eddies lisped and purled
Around the Stands rim,
And up froE: out the underwood
We saw tie mernen swim.
And II was dawn and middle day
And midni ;!t-fo, the moon
On silver rounds across the bay
Had climbed the skies Of June,
And here the glowing, glorious king
OF day ruled DER the realm,
With stars of midnight Glittering
About his diadem.
The seaguli ree,ei on languid wing
In circles round the mast;
We heard the songs the sirens sing
As we went sailing past.
And up and down the golden sands
A thousand fairy throngs
Flung at us from their flashing hands
The echoes Of their songs.
