dinance Under the law which gives Judges
of the Police Courts of cities having &c, 900
and under 100, 900 inhabitants the right to try

is C's turn to play. He has right to build
another ten, taking chances that D Will pass 1t,
and in that case would have the right to
"scoop in" the two builds of ten with the ten in
his hand. If A had built ten and 1t had been
taken in by B, one of his opponents, G, who is
AS partner, would have right to build a ten
tor his partner to take in, provided d, the other
opponent, could not gather 1T in.

wrought before noon. upon the corners of the

Great business must be wrought ere noon;
Upon the corner of the moon

As, by the strength of their illusion,

An Electrical Typewriter That Transmits
Printed Char1sctcrs.
Tho printing telegraph, though de-
vice Of comparatively recent develop
ment, has been the subject of ce;Asoless
investigation. and practical workers in
electricity have directed their whole ut
tention i'll some instances 20 tho trans
mission OF messages and the recording
OF them i'll plain Roman characters
Its advantages are simply those Of un
electrical typewriter, by means of which
the message is printed III the presence
of tho transmitting operator in page
form. and duplicate of tho same print

line, whether it be Il long or short cir
cult. A single transmission prints it

1t is said To differ materially from all
other known means of tclegraphy in ono
essential particular. In it the impulses
move the Instruments, whereas in other
systems the instruments move tho i'm
pulse-that is to say, the transnitter 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 polariZcd relay arma-
turo ut tho receiving station, places tho
revolving type wheel i'll the required
position. when the local mechanism
causes the letter to be printed
The apparent impossibility of TRIMS
hitting printed characters 500 or 200
miles over u single wire ut once presents
itself to the mind, and it is overcome In
this system. it is asserted, in u very
simple way. Each letter of the alphabet
is represented by n certain number of
impulses, which rcvolvc the type wheel
to the required position. when the let
tiers arc struck by the local mallet
Fourteen impulses represent the en-
tire alphabet, making a complete rcvolu-
ton of the type wheel, which may be
turned 200 revolutions per minute, thus
securing very rapid printing. It's advan-

Do you know the curse Of mufcrn
journalism?" asked an old journalist
the other day.
Its the typewriter. 1t destroys orig
lnality. 1t gives 10 everything that is
written a mechanical touch. There IS
no style or individuality about anything
composed on typewriter.
You will find that the newspaper
writer's in all the larger offices use type
writers The use of them has extended
in many other directions Mgr Satolh
has one But wherever you find man
writing on one and composing as he
writes you will find that his work is
cramped, mechanical, unimaginative,
without the slightest touch of fancy or
vitality.
SEQ into the offices of the big dailies
and you will find the young men who
make the papers seated ut typewriter,
grinding out columns of colorleSs, IN
readable stuff for the paper. You can t
turn out thought by machinery, and the
young neil who write their matter for
the press on typcwriters never rise above
the level of mediocrity. Go into the
composing rooms of the big dailieS, too,
and you will find the printers setting
type by machinery. No style about that
It's straight, stiff, formal, unattractive,
without any individuality. 1t takes the
human touch to give the proper life and
color to anything There's too much

While here the oddies lisped und purhsd
Around the islnnd's rim,
And up from out the underwood
No saw tho mcrmcn swim.
And 1t was dawn and middle day
And midnight-for 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 glittoring
About his diadum.
Tho seagun rceled on languid wing
In circles round the mast;
We heard the songs tho sirens sing
AS we went sailing past.
And up and down the golden sands
A thousand fairy thrpngs
Flung at us from their flashing hanfs
The echoes of thoir songs.
