WONDERFUL TELEeRAPHY.
Hungarian Instrument Transmits
10000 Words a Mfnute.

Hungarian Instrument Transmits
10000 Words a Minute.
The latest marvel in telegraphy is an
instrument that can transmit messages
at the rate Of more than 10000 words
a minute and deliver them at the other
end Of the wire written out in plain
schoolboy handwriting. 1t is the inven-
ton Of two Hungarians, Anton Pollak
and Josef Virag.
The system is, Of course, extremely
technical, but it is roughly described by
the London Standard as follows:
The message to be transmitted oter
the wire is frst prepared on perforat-
ing apparatus This apparatus is very
much like an ordinary typewriter and
is operated at about the same speed.
1t converts the message into petfora-
tions on strip of paper. resolving 1t
into two sets Of components, the YER
teal and the horizontal. this being nee
essary for the reason that the electrical
currents can-only transmit single COM
ponents. The holes are varied to cor
respond with the varied form Of letters.
These components can, Of course, be
esent over a telegraph wire at an in
credible speed. The difficulty is in re-
producing them in Ineligible form at
the other end. To accomplish this two
telephones are used at the receiving sta
tion. the system requiring the use Of a
telephone circuit Of practically two
wires.
The varying currents generate vibra-
tions in the respective telephonic re-
ceivers. and the mOtions-vertical and
horizontal respectively-are commune
Gated to a single mirror in such a man
ner that one set of components causes
vertical movements Of the mirror and
the other set horizontal movements. A
ray of light Is directed on 10 the mirror
from an incandescent electric lamp and
is reflected from the mirror through
lenses on to a slip Of sensitized photo
graphic paper.
The two motions Of the mirror are
sufficient to form all the characters of
handwriting; but, Of course, II made
slowly the characters would be angu-
lar. But the mirror moves only to the
extent OF about one-hundredth part Of a
millimeter. while the exposure Of the
paper Is no more than the thousandth
part of a second. so that the enormous
rapidity Of the currents and the move
/ ments makes the characters PRACTICAL
ly round. So fast does the mirror
move that when the working parts
were exposed observers could barely
discern more than a fash Of light, but
the sensitized paper showed the mo-
mentary fash resolved into line OF
the plainest handwriting.

Witness Declares He Got Not Only

WITNESS declares re Col Not CHiJ
Principal. But Interest.
Cleveland, March Wv. V. Coons, a
broker, was the principal witness ex-
amined in the Chadwick bankruptcy
case. Coons admitted that he had made
a number of loans to Mrs. Chadwick,
and received therefor large bonus or
interest He frankly said that Mrs.
Chadwick was to have paid him much
more than the legal rate of interest,
and that, while he threw off consider
able in his final settlement with her,
there was still a substantial bonus left
for him.
Mrs. Chadwick had obtained some
thing like $4,000 from Coons, but the
lender had forgotten exactly how much
more than that he eventually realized.
"That loan was made in 19O3" said
the witness. There were several

now Much One should Eat.

One Of the much discussed questions
OF the day on which there are almost
rs many opinions as individuals IS the
quantity Of food one should eat. Doc
tors all agree that the majority Of peo-
pie eat too much. Babies from the day
Of their birth are forced to eat too
much. and they grow up with this arti-
ficial appetite The most reasonable
estimate yet made is probably that
which fixes one-twentieth Of the aver
age weight Of the body as the average
daily quantity required. If you weigh
40 pounds you should consume seven
pounds Of food This includes drink
as well as solid food. But it is ridicu-
lous to set down hard and fast rule.
Such a quantity might kill some, and
there is a case on record of a man
wasting away on a diet Of seven
or eight pounds Of food a day. He
cut down his diet to three-quarters Of
a pound Of liquid and the same OF
solid food, and as a result he grew
stout and lived to a ripe old age.

The Siamese are devoted to the holi-
