LETTERS BY TELEGRAPH
An Interesting Scheme Outlined
III For the Postal Service.

Patrick B. Delany, a veteran tele-
grapher, thinks that the government
could do.the work now covered by the
postal service vastly better, by means of
the telegraph. OF course radical changes
will have to take place.
Mr.. Delany shows that at present it
costs the telegraph companies three
cents to bring a message from the Gus
toner to the Office and another three
cents to deliver it. AS this rate is
based on an average Of twenty words
per minute with hand transmission and
sixty words per minute the quadruplex
working, it is easy to understand that
the companies cannot telegraph for less
than existing rates.
But hand working and great num-
bers of cheap wires will soon be things
of the past. Automatic systems and a
few big copper wires reaching out to
increased capacity, ana will before long
be employed to carry quantities OF COR
respondence which at present we do not
dream Of. ~
Mr.. Delany says: "Why should the
government insist on carrying our let
tiers by train at. thirty miles an hour in
stead Of by telegraph? Why waste. ~
hours in covering the distance between
s New York and Chicago? There are
about 80 900 words exchanged between
New York and Chicago daily
Assuming that they average fifty
words each, all could be telegraphed
over two copper wires the size of a lead
pencil, and with time to spare. It has
been demonstrated that with the auto
matte chemical method 1000 words per
minute can be recorded perfectly be-
tween New York aud Chicago oyer a.
one ohm per mile wire
Messages can be perforated at the
rate twenty-five words Per minute, and
typewriters can print from the received
tape at the same speed. On this basis
letters of fifty words could beperforated,
transmitted printed and delivered
through the mails at cost OF about
FIVE cents.
This is what Mr.. Delany says we are
coming to- ii the government will only
take hold of the work. It will be curl
Gus and interesting to watch the bearing
OF the enormous deVelopm ent Of tele-
phony which is close at hand. and to
see what part it will play in the cheap
ening OF kilograms, whether the Cavern
ment. acquires control OF the telegraph
service Of the country Or not.
