LONG DISTANCE" JOURNALISM.
a Machine by Which an Editor Can Put
His Copy Into Type at q Distance.


The Long Distance Electric Typograph
company has been incorporated, with a
capital stock OF $780, 900. Joseph j. Reif-
graber Is the inventor.
The electric typograph system is designed
to enable newspaper editor TO do not only
his own work of writing, but that also
of the telegraph operator and typesetter,
while the performance OF all their duties Is
facilitated. The editor is TO pound out"
a STORY on q typewriterlike machine
which is electrically connected with telc-
graph wire system. His "story" will be
automatically reproduced in every newspa-
per office in the country connected with
his wire and furnished with the instru-
ments which compose the electric typo
graph system.
This reproduction Is to consist not only
Of the typewritten copy, but also OF the
type which Is to print 1t. BY means of a
synchronizer the same keys that are tap
ped In st. Louis would he pressed on the
corresponding typograph in Chicago. Tho
tyepwritten copy or proof" would evolve
at the same time that sheet Of paper
containing pcrforations representing the
different letters slips forth.
This perforated sheet is then passed into
an attachment which will be substituted
for the linotype keyboard, and much as n
music box is operated, the periorations will
work the typesetting machine. The per-
forated slip partakes Of the nature of a pa
per matrix
Mr.. Reifgraber says no now principle Is
involved in his invention, which was pat
ented about month ago. lit is merely u
new application of old principles, " he says.

A Hay Fever Remedy Without
Costly Travel.
Discovery That Will Bless and Relieve
Thousands---No More Torture and
Discomfort Neeesssy---Rellsf for All
Without the Expense OF Leaving Home.

No one but the sufferer from hay fever
knows the agony that attends this tor,
turing malady. A continual round OF
sneezing, eyes that are weak, watery and
iflamed, a nose that runs without cessa-
tion. and grows more sore every hour
inability 10 breathe, nights that become
hours of torture, days that are long
drawn out and full OF suffering-and all
this continues until the sufferer Is
obliged to pack up and 60 to some
locality where this disease does not
thrive. Formerly 1t was considered that
the only way hay fever could be relieved
was by a change OF climate, the noun
this purpose. Now II is known by ply
sicians and patients alike tnat sufferers
from this trouble can be relieved at home
py the use OF X-Zalia. Ihe preparation
10 an entirely new discovery 10 medicine,
its merits for the relief OF hey fever
only becoming known within the last year
or two.
X-Zalia Ia made from the sap OF GER
tain tree, combined with other vegetable
ingredients found in New Hampshire,
and contains the necessary medicinal
properties that have made New Hamp-
shire air famous for the virtuous quail
ties 1t contains for the cure OF this dis
ease. Many sufferers who were sceptical
have tried X-Zalia, and, TO their surprise,
found relief. Among those who may be
referred to are Mr.. w. f. Lakin, Manager
| Consolidated Store Service Company,
Fiske Building, State street. Boston; (;
| Mr.. George e. Armstrong. OF the firm OF

1t is expensive to take q long trip to

you much TO try X-Zalia right here at
home, and be convinced as to whether 1t
does what is claimed for ii or not. Ask
your druggist for X-Zalia. IL he does
not keep It, send 81 to The X-Zelia Com
pany, No. 3 Beacon street, Boston, Mass,

bottles, express paid, anywhere on line

Hunters Invade Yosemite National Park.

The annual report of Lieutenant Colonel
Young to the secretary of the interior on
the management of the Yosemite National
park shows that hunters and trappers en-
tered the pork during the winter and
spring months and destroyed considerable
game. Over 200 stand of arms were taken
from persons entering the park, and as a
result broods of young quail and grouse arc
flourishing. Bear, deer, lynx and fox are
not abundant, but Il hunters can be kept
out will soon multiply. Colonel Young
recommends that the park be surveyed and
It's boundaries clearly defined.
