RAPID TELEGRAPHY.
Messages nt the Rate of Two Hun
dred Words Per Minute.

Mr.. Edward s. Norton, general manager,
last night gave an exhibition of the Rogers
system of printing by telegraph, which he
says is to be put in practical operation be-
tween the cities of Washington and Balti-
more within the next two weeks. Tho ex-
hibition took place at the Office of the
United States Postal Printing Telegraph
Company in the Kellogg building. and was
an interesting demonstration of the posi-
bilities of electricity in Few direction. A
typewriting machine, an electric machine
for transmitting. a machine for receiving
OF 200 miles were utilized in the operation.
The message was first written on type
writing machine with a punching machine
attached. While the operator played on
the keys OF the typewriter. the puncher
registered each letter in holes in a paper
tape arranged in COIL The arrangement
of the holes represented the letters. When
the message was finished the operator took
off the perforated tape and placed it on the
sending machine, where small metallic
fingers played upon it and transmitted tele-
graphically complete duplication of the
holes in the tape to the receiving machine
at the other end of the wire. This machine
worked spontaneously with the sending
Roman characters at the same time on a
sheet of paper. The message was printed
and ready for delivery almost simultaneous
with it's sending. 1t Is claimed that 200
words a minute can be transmitted and
printed by this system, and that even
greater speed will be developed when GER
tain improvements are made.
