is proposed to divide the day into ten
hours, the hour into 100 minutes and
the minutes into 100 seconds, making
1000 minutes, or 1OO,O seconds in a
day. Then by dividing the globe into
1000 degrees of longitude, correspond
ing with the 1000 minutes of the day,
and grouping them into 20 sections of
SO degrees each, universal standard
time could be established. The hour
hand is to point in the direction of the

a given spot, from which they radiate
in every direction. He then detects
them bv a receiver The dots and
dashes of the Geographic code are rep
resented by the long and short series
of waves This wireless telegraphing
is designed for use principally between

government began a series of expert

of learning whether or not these could
be employed to advantage in the Gus

France through the packet post These
experiments have proved so satisfac-
tory that more are to be tried soon on
a more extensive scale in the regular
working of the service, and, should
they be found practical, all travellers
baggage and imports of general mer-

A NEW and scientific method of re-
eording speech has been invented.
The writing is obtained by means of
an ingenious instrument called the
Autograph, or lip writer. 1t is
French invention. One instrument is
now in the possession of DR.. Arthur
Mcdonald, of the bureau of educa-
ton in Washington, who is making
experiments with it. The writing of
the Autograph does not record letters
but the sounds of which word is
composed. Anyone can satisfy himself
that the lines are readable by compar-
ing the same words spoken by different
persons.
