Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feol as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used 10 be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be raced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin-
ming in kidney trouble.

WRITING BY TELEGRAPH.
Motion of a Pencil Reproduced at the
Other End of the Wire.

Ernst Karl Gruhn, a young German
electrician, has patented what he calls
the "telecheirograph," an instrument
that reproduces over a wire a written
message.
II differs from all other similar inven-
tions In that the actual writing of the
message sets up electric currents which
reproduce it at the other end 1t has
already been tried with success over a
line 200 miles long, and there seems to
be no limit TO its action up to the
distance over which telephone messages
may be sent.
In fact. II is more nearly related ia
its action TO the telephone than to the
telegraph, and the electric current ordi-
narily used in telephoning is employed
in this new device. 1t is intended TO
supplement the telephone rather than 10
supplant the telegraph.
The transmitting apparatus is con-
tanned in case about as large as a type
writer cover. To pencil holder are at
tached two wires. each being part of a
circuit. When not in use the pencil lies
in rest that breaks both circuits, much
as telephone receiver breaks its circuit
when not in use.
The up and down motion of the pencil
| sets up what mathematician would call
| the ordinate" current. the right and
/ left motion actuates the 'abscissa" cur
rent.
When the pencil IS at the top of the
/ pad the ordinate current is at it's strong
| est. and when the pencil is on the right
of the pad the abscissa current is
| strongest. Ordinary writing is. of course.
a combination of up and down and right
and left motions When the pencil is off
the paper the current is broken. as the
lead slides up and down a short distance,
and pressure is needed to complete the
| circuits.
At the receiving station a small mir
ror in a dark box is so mounted that II
| can be rocked in any direction. Two
magnets are operated by the two cur
rents, and they rock this mirror to COR
respond with the motion Of the pencil
4 pencil with\a lens throws a beam OF

magnets. follows the exact motion of

when the message is written and the
pencil put upon its rest the light OF the
lamp goes out and little motor starts
up. This operates rollers that draw tho
part of the paper written upon into q
developing bath and out again into a set
of drying rolls. so that thirty-five sec

NEWS OF RAILROADS
AND OF RAILROAD MEN
Surveyors at Work.

a party of surveyors. whose employ
ers are unknown. are creating consider
able interest along what some say is
a projected line that may have con-
nectiOn with the Wabash system at
Bridgewater. w. Va, and in the adjacent
Locality. 1t is said that they are at
work on line to fill in several gaps
OF line which, in the end, is going to
make a continuous track to Fredericks-
burg, Va, from where it may reach
Newport News, West Point tat the York
River, or any one of several other
good deep-water terminals. There is
much mystery in the matter. which
leads TO the belief that George Gould
may have finally selected this route into
Southern waters. This latter, however,
is only speculation. The only facts OBJ
tainable are that the party has been
at Durbin, w. Va, where there is q
gap forty miles long between a branch
of the Chesapeake and Western and the
Gould Coal and Iron Railroad. The
party has also been quietly investigat-
ing things at the eastern end of the
Chesapeake and Western, across the
Shenandoah valley. to the western ter
minal OF the Piedmont, Fredericksburg
and Orange. This is the line that has
its terminals in Fredericksburg. There
are five men in the party, and they have
been in the field more than a month
They refuse all information concerning
themselves.
The route they have gone over, ex-
perts say, would be one of the best fol
railroad construction to tidewatel
! through the rich West Virginia coaI
fields yet mentioned. Much of the line
has been constructed, the tracks belong
ing 10 the small companies already
mentioned, while the gaps are in &
country where the engineering woulC
not be difficult. Such line would eros:
no less than seven railroads. and would
