sits on desk partially boxed. Attached
to the bars operating the types are a.
series of pinions engaging with a train Of
circular clutches, which in turn are op-
Grated by the current running through
the telegraph wire. The striking of a kew
en- the typewriter eXerts a strength of
current which at the other end of the
wire, whether a yard or 1000 miles away.
acts upon the particular clutch that pulls
down the bar of the type corresponding
to the key touched.
Just what device is used is kept a Sc
cret from prying eyes. In the Thompson
invention the current is regulated by
electromagnetic, whose armatures are
wound with wire of different gauge in
order to secure evenness in registering by
actuating the current. To each type bar
is attached the magnet which operates it
through the spring armature. The differ
ent gauge of wire permits a quick re-
sponse to the touch of the type at the
other end of the wire.

pie as 1t is wonderful.
After telegraphing by hand had been
in practice for several years 1t was dis
covered that the dots" and clashes" in
dented in the slip of paper in Chicago
could be reproduced by running the strip
of paper under the key
1t is on this principle that the phono-
graph of to-day reproduces. its records:
the little invisible dots on the white CYL
inder when run under the bit of steel
which originally made them will repro
duce the song or speech at the other end
of the wire.
This principle applied in telegraphing
pictures works equally we'll drawing
is made on a sheet of tinfoil wrapped
around cylinder in the machine similar
to the wax cylinder of phonograph
In Chicago there is a twin machine reg
ulated to work in perfect harmony with
the New York machine. In Chicago, in
stead of tinfoil, sheet of carbon or man
ifold copying paper is placed between two
blank sheets of paper. The New York
current is turned on and the little needle
or platinum point above the revolving
cylinder in New York breaks the circuit
when it touches the ink outlines of the
picture.
The needle in the Chicago machine.
which reproduces every pulsation made
in New York, prints the same kind of
record on the carbon paper because the
steel point beats hard on the cylinder,
and thus the picture in New York is
faithfully copied by electricity in Chi
cago The simplicity of the system is its
wonder
Yet experts have been years in perfect
ing machine that would be of practical
commercial value. Mr.. Ernest A Hum
nell of st. Paul is the inventor He set
up his first machine in the New York
