1000 WORDS A MINUTE
NEW INVENTION DESCRIBED BY
NEW JERSEY MAN.

South Orange, N. j., Dec. So-Pat-
rick B. Delaney. the electrical engi-
neer who invented the multiplex tele.
graph system by which SIX messages
can be telegraphed over . single wire
at the same time, says that his latest
invention, the automatic machine tel.
egrsph, has been perfected.
BY means Of the new system. he
says, q business man in New York
may dictate to his stenographer . let
ter Of, say 1000 words, addressed to q
correspondent in Chicago. The stem.
ographer writes the letter on a tape,
punching out the characters with Q
machine having q key board resembling
that of a typewriter. A messenger
takes the tape to the telegraph Office,
it is fed to the machine and the letter
of 1000 words is transmitted TO and
printed on a tape in the Chicago office
in exactly one minute. There the
tape is delivered to the New York
mans correspondent, his stenogrspher
copies it out and the New York mans
letter is in the hands Of the Chicago
man in about half an bonr at the most
from the time it was written. The
tariff on such . message would be
from 10 to l2 cents.
Perhaps the most troublesome prob
lem to get rid of in perfeoting the de-
vice. Mr.. Delaney said. wss what is
known rs the static" discharge Of .
wire. The tendency Of this "static"
discharge is to tumble all the signals
up in one long line, which, of course,
makes them unintelligible. Mr.. De-
laney says he settled the problem b,
making the static" print his longest
signals. When the signal is long
enough the machine sends out an cleo
trio current in the opposite direction
which neutralizes the static" aud
cuts off the signal. This, Of course,
happens very quickly, about $500 Of
these impulses being fent over the wire
every second when working under a
speed OF 5000 words n minute, which
he declares can be attained.
