times and thus 1t is estimated that in the
course of sending messages in the ordi-
nary pursuit of his work the operator is
compelled to make hundred and
eighty thousand depressions and the same
number of relaxations in the course of
eight hours work. during which time he
would send about 15,000 words 1t win
readily be seen that the work is exceed
ingly trying on the nerves
Much of this labor has been avoided by
the use of a new invention recently pat
ented by Horace g. Martin. 1t is about
the size of the Morse relay and is known
as the 'autOplex." 1t has one lever which
works from the side, there being a con-
tact point at each side. AS long the
lever is held at one side the automatic
mechanism is set in motion and the dots
are sent out one after the other. Upon
shifting the lever to the other side the
dash mechanism is set in motion and the
dashes will be repeated indefinitely if de-
sired. With this device a word which re-
qu;res thirty-two movements is sent with
twelve, and it is estimated that the oper-
ator's work is reduced by two-thirds.-Sci-

BURNING CHARCOAL.
Carried by Natives of Kashmir, Il
Causes an Epidemic of Cancer.

Jonathan Hutchinson, during his recent
trip to India, made some interesting obser-
Vations on disease, and he comments upon
them in his usual interesting way. In the
Polytechnic for May appears an editorial on
the cause of cancer which. if we mistake
has all the earmarks of his style and of his
turn of thought The writer of the editorial
calls attention to a peculiar form of cancer
that prevails in KaShnir-the Vale of
Cashmere of the poets. This variety of
cancer is an epitholioma, which is not Pc
culiar in an historical sense, but is merely
of peculiar origin. The site OF the growth
is either the abdomen or the inside of the
thigh. Of twenty cases reported bby Elms-
lie as long ago 1866, four were in females
and sixteen in males.
DIR. Elmslie attributed the disease to a
curious local custom of the inhabitants OF
Kashmir 1t seems that Kashmir (Which is
an elevated valley among high mountains

made to it in the British Encyclopaedia.
Recently some valuable additions to oul
| knowledge of kangri cancer have beer
made by DR.. Neve, the head of a mission
station at Kashmir. He proves that tbs
disease is common, for he refers to nearly
