VARIETY OF TYPEWRITERs.
A HebreV Typewriter That Writes

From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
The typewriter is one American prod
uct which has never suffered a foreign
boycott
The click of the American typewriter IS
heard around the world. The tourist finds
it turning up in all sorts of out-of-the-
way corners, from Iceland to Van Die
mans Land. With the Dongola and
Ashanti expeditions it has penetrated into
the heart of the African wilderness; with
Lieut.. Peary 1t found its way to the
Arctic regions; the Russian government
has sent it all through Siberia; it Is to
be found in the homes Of the missionaries
In India. The Gar Of Russia has a
richly engraved, gold-plated, white-enam-
eled, ivory-keyed typewriter for writing
both English and Russian. Queen Vic
toria has one in her household, and so
have The Queen Regent of Spain and the
Khedive OF Egypt In the wreck of the
battleshp Maine was found a typewriter,
and should tho Russian Eastern squad
Ion's flagship suddenly sink in the yell
low sea, an American typewriter would
be found in the captains cabin.
The universal use Of the typewriter is
due to It's easy adaptation to almost any
language capable of being printed. Type
writers have been made to write Greek,
German, Hebrew. Siamese. Telegu and
Russian. The accentE, 30 important
part Of other languages than English, are
written with dead keys, which do rot
move the cyclinder carrying the paper.
The dead key device has recently been
ingeniously applied in solving a difficult
problem In typewriter construction. An

Chamberlain, at Madanapalle. Madras
Presidency, wishing to translate the Scrip
lures for the natives, wrote to an Ameri-
can typewriter company asking If a type
writer could be made TO write the Telegu
language. He had been using an English
writing typewriter, and one day, when
It was smashed by plaster falling In his
bungalow, the idea Of a Telegu typewriter
occurred him. The TeleRu language is
peculiar IN that every character represents
a syllable. The missionary resolved the
language into go characters, but upon fur
Their study found that these characters
were built up from a much smaller num-
Der OF basic forms These forms were
hand-cut la India under the missioDary's
direction and sent TO the typewriter COM
pany. With the aid Of the dead keys Il
was found possible 10 build up all the
composite characters OF the Telegu ian
guage upon standard keyboard. The

KNIGHTS OF rYTHIAs WEEK.
Their Supreme Bodies viii Meet in
IndinnapoIis To-day.


This week will be an interesting week
for Knights of Pythias throughout the
country. The supreme lodge and the SUI
preme encampment of the uniformed
rank of the order will be in session in
Indianapolis. Savannah will be we'll rep

supreme lodge win also have its prelimin-
airy session to-day. Tomorrow the lodge
VIII get down TO business, and one of the
features of the session will be the presen-
tation or the biennial reports, showing the
condition of the order
The fact that the uniformed rank was
born IN indianapolis twenty years ago this
month is not generally known. but ii was
there that the supreme lodge passed the
resolution giving existence TO the higher
oegree, which has now become such an
important branch of Pythianism.
Previous to the organization of this sep
arate military branch, the order of
h ia- OF Pythias was known as a
semi-mllitary" body, and there was a
halfway attempt on the part of most of
the lodges to appear military.
ror years after the organization of the
Knights of Pythias in 1864. there was this
military spirit and this idea of a uniform
lty In dress. They took possession of the
members of the order and the feeling that
the order or a part of it. should become
IN tact military organization was almost
unanimous, but there was a difference of
opinion as to how the result should be
accomplished. Old members feared to sup
port the idea of a separate branch. be-
cause they thought it would
result in feeling arising
members of the subordinate lodges. 9th
ers argued that 1t would be a great help
10 the subordinate lodges as the branch
rank would encourage young men TO ioin
the order.
When the Supreme Lodge met in IN
dianapolis in August, 1878, a special com
mittee was appointed and reported favorIng
the adoption of a ritual and constitution
for the new degree. In all the discussion
of It The uniform rank was spoken of
as a higher degree" Just at a time
when it was thought the rank would he
adopted motion was made TO postpone
the whole matter until the next session
OF the supreme lodge, and the motion
prevailed much to the CONSERVATION of
the thousands of members Of the so-called
drill corps" who were here to aid by
moral suasion, the adoption of the new
rank. But there were men here who had
the courage of their convictions and did
not let the subject die on the table. Among
them were Justue II. Rathbone the
founder of the order. Aug. 80 a Kentucky
representative moved that the matter of
the uniform rank be taken from the
table and reconsidered. This was done
and a resolution for the adoption of the
rank carried. The Supreme Chancellor
at once appointed a committee to prepare
a ritual and constitution and by Nov. /,
these were promulgated and drill corps
were rapidly converted into uniform
rank companies.

Her Letter in Reference to the Y. NJ.
c. As state Secretary.
Mrs. Gov. Atkinson has furnished the
following card for publication:
80 much has been said about the let
ter written me as president of the Georgia
Army and Navy League by Mr.. S. Wat
ers McGin in reference to alleged misap-
preparation of funds sent to soldiers by
benevolent persons and relief associations,
that feel that justice 10 him requires that
1 write this.
IT have met Mr. McGlll a number of
times and am thoroughly convinced that
he is an honest, sincere Christian gentle
man. I know nothing of the statements
made by him in reference to the misap-
preparation of funds as stated in his letter
to me, but 1 am sure that he received his
information from sources which he
thought reliable, and at the time of maxi
ing the charges he believed Them to he
true.
''I do not question that his letter to me
was written for a good purpose-his in
tention being to prevent the waste or mis-
appropriation of funds raised to do relief
work in the army.
"The statement which has appeared in
the press that Mr.. McGdll declined to meet
with the Army and Navy League because
the meeting was held at the Capital City
Club is not true. We have never held
meeting at the Capital City Club nor has
Mr.. McGiH ever declined to meet with US
at any time or place.
while the Georgia Army and Navy
League will itself disburse the funds en-
trusted to 1t by the public, I do not wish
Mr.. McGin to be done an injustice. do
not know where he is nor whether he will
appreciate or approve Of my doing this,
but feeling that he is being censured In
excess of his offense, and knowing that
it grows out of a letter written me.
will feel better for having written this.
Very truly, Mrs. W. Y. Atkinson.

of the various European languages on one
keyboard, half dozen or more languages
may be written on one machine. Many
typewriters with Englsh-S panish-French
keyboards are shipped to South American
