THE MULTIPLEx TELEGRAPH.
An Instrument Which Can Accommo-
date Ten Messages mt Once.


One set of the mul;iplex telegraphic In
struments invented by the late Prof.
Henry A. Rowland has been completed
for the German Government by the Row
land Telegraphic Company, and they may
be seen today in the physical laboratory
of the Johns Hopkins University by
those who attend the anniversary exer-
cises. A second set is being finished at
the factory, III Linden Avenue, to be sent
TO Germany and installed upon lines be-
tween Berlin and Hamburg and Berlin
and Frankfort. The machines now fn-
ished will remain upon exhibition at the
University for about a week.
This telegraph enables 10 operators to
send messages over one wire at the same
time Eight of the messages-four in
each direction-can be sent and received
upon machines which print the charac-
ters like typewriter, and two other mes
sages-one in each direction-can be sent
by the Morse code. using ordinary keys
and saunders. A particular advantage
OF the system is that the operators can
see the messages that they send. as they
are repeated upon the printing apparatus
before them. and II an error Is made II
can be corrected Immediately. The set
of Instruments at one end OF a line occu-
pies about as much space as two roll-top
desks placed side by side.
The fundamental principle OF the Row.
land system is the use of alternating cur
rents for telegraphic purposes. The ma
chimes work In synchronism. In order
that the right letter shall be printed the
identity of the letter at the two ends of
the line is secured by an automatic let
ter finder, which revolves until the proper
point is reached, when it locks and the
two machines are set with all the key
boards and printers in perfect corre-
spondence The messages are received
typewritten and ready for delivery. No
operator is required to receive the mes
sages; the machines do that, so that all
the operators are employed in sending.
The company is also engaged in making
machines for the Italian Government, and
they are to be installed by the first OF
July between Rome and Naples.-Balti-

the rumble of the train could be heard in

watched the track to see the flying wonder
they had heard of. But when the engine,
with screaming whistle and two great
lamps glaring like the eyes of a monster
dragon, rounded the curve and came
screaming toward them, they fled like
panic stricken rabbits to the nearest cover,
leaving their chief and the few white men
on the platform to face the danger.
Next morning the chief reappeared on
the platform with his "tall," and begged

ball players Of the Naval Academy de-
feated West Point this afternoon by a
score Of to ). For great part of the
game it looked as If nothing better thaa
a whitewash would be the Army's portion.
but the soldiers. by playing their hardest
game near the finish, scored three runs
and had the Middies worried lest victory
be turned into defeat at the eleventh
hour.
But the Navy's triumph was deserved.
Their hitting was cleaner, though they
had luck at the bat and they felded
steadier at critical times. Both pitchers
did we'll, about equally well in view of
the misplays behind them.
Game Full of Interest.
The game was spirited at all times, and
contained several moments that to the
partisans, and nearly every onlooker was
a partisan one way or the other, were
wildly exciting.
When Raudenbush hit for three bases
and was thrown out at the plate, the full
4ooAu VI coth campo VOC uio
tended to the limit TO shrek and shout.
When Childs made a wonderful catch
which practically saved the day for An
napolis a gloye-splitting and Jig dancing
iubilation followed. and when Zell smoth-
cred hard drive in sensational style the
Army roared its delight.
Good plays we're more noticeable than
bad ones. The fielding OF the cadets
when the Army fire was hottest. was es-
pecially meritorious.
Day for the Sport.
The day was charming enough to make
vanquished as well as victor glad he was
alive. With the fiuttering of flags. bright
uniforms Of officers and cadets there was
a display of feminine beauty almost equal
to distracting attention from the game.
All this was in natures own unsurpassed
setting. The scene was one Of rare at
