Although thousands of miles of lire
were in operation before 1865. the
world telegraph as il exists to-day
dates from that time and from "A con.
vention held in Paris TO adopt regula.
lions for international telegraphic
operations. Previously. in sending a
message from one country To another,
delays were encountered which made
the telegraph little more expeditions
than the post. In travelling across
Europe message not only occupied
an exasperating amount of time, but
also accumulated an appalling list Of
,harges reckoned in different kinds Of
money for each country il had pas sed
through. These charges could not be
paid in advance, because the amount
)f them was not known at the point
rom which the message was sent. II
nay be imagined that under such con.
i,tions the telegraph was not general
employed In transacting business.
From the point OF view OF the pri.
rate citizen, the most important work

arrange uniform schedule Of teleg.

'ages might be sent in code, or secret
anguage. il desired. Arrangements
we're likewise made for the more rapid
transmission OF international mes.

AZ a result Of the work of this and
succeeding conventions, we have the
narvelously intricate yet simple sys-
,em OF sending telegraphic messages
which prevails to-day. Ii is possible
low to send message from any vii.
age that can boast a telegraph Office
o any other point in the world that
= reached by the farspreading maze

eel assured that his message will go
forward quickly, and il requires but "a
moment for the clerk TO inform him
