LIGHTNING TELEGRAPH.
New York to Chicago and Answer
Returned in Forty-Five Seconds.

Returned in Forty-Five Seconds.
From Ainslee's Magazine.
1t Is not in show performances that
one finds the greatest achievements OF
the telegraph, but in the speed with
which ordinary business is transacted.
Thus the Stock and Produce exchanges
of New York and Chicago have the
closest possible connection. There Is
a vast amount of communication be-
tween the exchanges of the two cities
every day. and the telegraph COM
panies have their offices on the floors
of the exchanges. 1t Is on record that
messages have been sent from the New
York Produce Exchange to the Chicago
Produce Exchange, and answers re-
ceived in forty-five seconds. When one
reflects that these were ordinary mes-
sages, for which no special prepara tion
was made. and that the operation in
volved the writing out of the messages
at each end of the line, and their de-
livery to the persons to whom they
were addressed, the result seems mar
velOus.
