MULTIPLEX TELEGRAPHY.
The New Apparatus That Will Send
Eight Messages simultaneously.
rom the Baltimore sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Professor Henry A. Rowland, of the
Johns Hopkins university, is conclud-
ing a series OF Office tests Of his new
multipleX telegraph apparatus. and cX-
poets to give it a line test in d few
daYs.
Tho line test will be made between
Philadelphia and Jersey city. One
sender and one receiver will be lOCat.
ed in each city, and the attempt will
be made to send four messages each
way, or eight messages in all, stimuli
taneously over one Wire. Professor
Rowland thinks that a much greater
number Of messages may be sent over
one wire at the same time by means
Of his instrument, but at present he
has developed it only to the point Of
eight.
The experiments are being conducted
in two rooms of the physical laboratory
Of the Johns Hopkins university. Two
young lady scnders are in one room,
operating Instruments that resemble
the kcyboards of typewriting ma
chimes. In the other room is the
receiver. which is 4 most ingenious
device. The number OF sending ma
chimes must correspond with the mum
ber of messages to be sent, but each
receiver takes four messages at the
same time. The method of separating
the currents and recording each mes
sage without any interruption from the
others coming over the wire at the
same time is the mysterious part of the
invention, which Professor Rowland
does not care at present to reveal.
anyone able TO operate the simple key
board of a typewriter can send a mes
sage. and the only attention the re-
ceiver needs is To keep ii supplied with
paper. The letters OF the alphabet are
placed about a small wheel. This
wheel is whrled around by the electric
current, and the letter wanted is
stamped upon the paper. In this way
the message is spelled out in plain
letters without any need of a skilled
operator The receiving machine looks
somewhat complicated tu the unframed
eye, but Professor Rowland says it is
really very simple and not apt TO get
ont of order.
The principal feature of the inven-
tiOn is the device for separating the
messages ana having each properly re-
Ccived. This is done by small brass
wheel, about which rcvolves a hange
having on it several cone-shapcd pro-
jectons. This simple looking appar-
atus does the work, but Just how is OG
course a secret with Professor Row
land. Messages over the same wire
may be sent simultaneously from diff
ferent points, thus increasing the COM
merCial value of the device.
Professor Rowland has been working
on the invention about two years. The
first receiving machine he made has
been practically dlsmantled, and the
two receivers with which the line test
win be made are new lie is now bus
lily engaged in porrecting some of the
minor details of the machines, and cx-
poets to be ready tor the final test
within a few days.

shortage of water, crops put in by the
Indians this year will prove to be al
most total failure. Last year the
Indians harvested nearly ten million
pounds of wheat, but this year the
