that it should work under the worst conditions as we'll as under the best. It has been found to be operative wherever the key and sOunder of the ; Morse system are and it has been found to work as well in wireless ex- periments as they do"
 The gentleman is well acquainted with Schaar the inventor, visits him frequently in his shop at Los Angeles and was present at the first test of the "Telautoprint" It was made over ! thousand miles of wire from Los Angeles to San Francisco and back and through two cables under the bay. The sending and receiving machines
 were placed side by side in the Postal , office at Los Angeles. When the wires were adjusted. Schaar touched the key and in an almost impercepti.
 bic space of time, the receiving ma chine recorded the sound. Then the actual test was begun. The written message was sent and the receiving machine a few feet away seemed to be recording it simultaneously. Since then numerous tests have been made under the most difficult conditions. The gentleman was a frequent wis itOr to Schaar's shop and became
 more interested in the "Telautoprin." as it grew. The laboratory machine developed into a great piece of meclI- anism. The inventor was constantly discovering that it could be simplified but he never removed any of the su- perfluous parts, but merely disregard ed them so that when he had the ma chine brought to a state of perfection more than half of it was not used in the operation of it. An accurate ac. count of the cost of the laboratory ma chine showed that it cost s25O but 1t has been ascertained that the ma chine in its perfected state ready fer actual use will not cost more than $50. It is about the size of 2 type writer and it can be operated Dy any one who is able to see the keys.
 Before the machine had been brought nearly to a state of perfec- tion the question of finances arose. The telegraph companies could not be interested. They held aloof from it as the newspapers did from the Mer- ganthaler linotype until the New York Tribune was driven by industrial dis turbances to an encouragement of the inventor.
 A company for the development of the "Telautoprint" was formed and the enterprise was finally financed by Chris Buckley the famous "BHcd Boss" of San Francisco. A shor was set up there and rapid progress was being made when the earthuuake and fire came. Everything Was destroyed and the progress of Schaar was delay ed for months. Finally he set up a little shop in Los Angeles and slowly began the reconstruction of The ma chine. But for that earthquake and , fire there would now be no telegraph strike.
 l There is only one detail of the in- vention which has not been workeI out by the inventor and that it has not been is because 1t is so c9mpara- lively unimpor<1t that he has given no time to it. That is the automatic discharge of the receiving machine As it stands now it is required that an operator shall be in attendance upon the machine to remove the print ed sheets. But there are already sev- eral devices in successful operation on machines of various kiads which can be applied to the "telaHtoprint"
 The gentleman said that the effect of the introduction of the machine would be sweeping. The result nf t will be many. In the firsE place 1t will guarantee the telegraph compan- les against strikes for an operator could be instantly replaced by anoth- CT who might not be quite so fast but would still be fast enough for an emergency. The efficiency of the companies will be greatly increased. The limit of speed of the telegraph operator is about thirty words a min ute. By the 'Telautoprint" one can send as fast as he can manipulate a typewriter. The expense of sending will be more than cut in two since not so many operators will be requsr- ed as at present and the salaries will naturally be less.
 The machines will find their way into more newspaper offices for they can be attached to the linotype. Their use will also be applied to the type writer, the stock ticker burglar and fire alarm systems. telephone syS tems. wire and wireless and to the wireless telegraph. NThe gentleman predicted that they would in time en- tirely displace the telephone on ac-
