A MODERN MIRACLE
IN MULTIPLE TYPOGRAPHY

Alons one OF the ordinary post and
telegraph lines between Paris and Bor-
oeaux some extraordinary telegraph
ing has just been accomplished while
the regular operators were sending
and receiving back and forth their
usual messages experimenting men OF
science had tapped the line. attached
new Instruments to II and were en-
gagged In sending back and forth other
messages Of which the regular opera
tors could not possibly have taken
cognizance even had they been aware
OF their existence.
The regular operators OF the Govern
ment service were using In one ease a
Morse duplex apparatus. which per
mits the Creyersible) transmission OF
two Simultaneous messages, and In the
other a Baudot apparatus with four
keyboards. which permits the sending
OF four messages In one direction.
Simply connecting their new apparatus
with the same wires. the experiment
tiers succeeded In sending and recelv-
Ing. simultaneously and In each d.
rection. twelve other messages. max
ing IN all t%wenty-four simultaneous
messages plus the two messages OF the
Morse duplex or the four messages OF
the Baudot apparatus. This was ac-
complished not only as a scientific
novelty, but practically and contlnu-
ously for hours at a time, In a test TO
establish the commercial usefulness OF
the invention. In this way II was
demonstrated that the entire first page

most 5000 words. can be sent from

the Hope Blue, as a blue diamond In
the collection OF Henry T. Hope is
called, has held a unique place as being
by long odds the finest blue diamond In
the world. II weighs only Az carats,
but is OF a beautiful sapphire blue,

Mr.. Hope bought II for flS,O0O. but
Il is valued today at about 100000.

with most great diamonds, but II is

low and red effects being most beauti-
fully blended with the softer colors.
The cool green that covers the dome,
the elaborate and profuse sculptural ef-
fets, and the brightness of color, are all
striking features of this extremely ar
tistic structure.
To the left of the Esplanade as one
faces the grounds, the Horticulture
building is seen, its great entrance en-
circled with geometric design IN blue
and white and the whole front orna-
mented with designs indicative of the
character of the exhibits shown therein.
The Mines building and the Graphic
Arts building each joined to the Hor-
ticulture building by a conservatory
the entire structure of three structures,
forming a semi-circle about the head OF
the court, are companion buildings.
Blue, green and white are the color fea-
lures of these buildings and their ap-
pearance is most attractive. Four gild-
ed eagles occupy pinnacles at the top
of corner towers in each Of the smaller
buildings. High above these another
gilded eagle spreads its wings over tue
centre of the Horticulture building.
At the opposite end of the Esplanade
the quiet gray of the Government
building, frightened in spots by the
yellow and gold of it's corner domes,
looms up in mammoth proportions.

A Hearty Concurrence.

To the Editor OF the Register.
Sir:I noticed an article in your
paper last Sunday in regard to patron
izing union labor and home industry
| heartily join with the brother in his
statement of last Sunday. We have
stores in this city that should not be
patronized by any true citizen of this
country AS our brother stated last
week, they send their money to some
other country. We have some OF these
people here in our city who make it
business to beat the wholesale firms out
of their goods when they are good
enough to trust them. I think the
question our brother asked do you
stop to consider who you are buying
from when you enter a store?) should
be considered by every true American.
We have samples of their conduct here
in our own city; think of some OF
them, and then decide if you are do
ing the right thing by buying from
them. i, for one, will never enter
their stores or patronize them in any
way. | believe in home industry, and
l will spend my money with that end
in view. ANTI-NUMSkULL.

his clear-cut and forceful words IN the
class room. Il.
When | was living at Wheeling Mr..
Long, who was a personal friend OF my
uncle, was editor of the Register, and
Mr.. Clarkson, who was called "Spivens,

was billed to deliver lecture in Wash

| do not remember whether | heard
the lecture or not, but l do remember
an incident that occurred afterward. L
was at public meeting of some kind
in which "Spivens" was one OF the
speakers, and crowd of boys, among
whom | was one, worried "Spivens" by
hollooing scat" at him, and he
frightened us very much by coming
down from the stand and threatening
to have us all arrested by a big police
man standing near.
Our State is soon to Je visited by
President Mckinley, and though no
State more bitterly opposed his cleo
ton, and ever will be found opposing
the principles Of that party he will be
given such a hearty welcome that he
will feel no doubt more as though he
was among his friends than his polit-
ical antagonists.

I still feel deep interest in your city

a perusal of the Registers columns will
revive many pleasant memories of the
far-away and ever receding past.

Inside the tower wiring is completed
and hundreds of yards of copper wire

Switch boards control the lights on the
different landings at frequent intervals
on the tower. The lights which appear
from the face of the tower are connected
with the wires inside and attached to a
plug which is pushed through a TIN

Other lights are attached to bar o.
