the red white and black. and It's
house flag is the Hamburg American.
It's So distinct services carry the
worlds commerce Into and out of
nearly every important port of all
continents. II the entire fleet were
assembled In one harbor, it would pre-
sent an imposing array OF 100 ocean
steamers, eight others under construc.

Dor crait--a total of 1888 vessels, with
q gross tonnage Of nearly million.
II this fleet were welded into one
mammoth steamer, It would be nearly
five miles long, more than mile wide
and about mile deep To load It

Council Bluffs, Jan. 25.-The Western
Union Telegraph Company is going to
install Barclay machines in their Of
fees here and in Omaha. sufficient in
number to do the of 100 tele-
graphers. The machir We been or
dered and will be put operation as
fast as they are delivy I'd. The ma
chimes We're placed in their Kansas
City office last week and it is under
stood the company plans to put them
into use in all of their large offices.
The Barclay machine will take from
14O to $50 messages an hour and can
be operated by child after a little
study IL will thus be seen that they
will supplant thousands of operators
over the country and will make the in
convenience and loss of strikes a prac-
teal impossibiity.
The machine, one of which has been
on exhibition, Is marvel of mechan-
ism. 1t is in fact a typewriter and
works so rapidly pouring out messages
that it is uncanny to look upon. 1t is
made up of three parts: A perforator,
a typewriter that prepares the tape
punching into it the letters of the mes
sages that are to be sent, the trans
mitter into which the tape is fed au-
tomatically and the typewriter that re-
ceives the messages.
The transmitter, working automati-
cally, will handle about 400 to sou
words minute. The average message
contains seventeen words. The re-
ceiving typewriter needs the attention
of one girl or boy to put the message
blanks into the machine and even she
may be dispensed with later by putting
the blanks on a roller.
Ordinarily about lao messages an
hour are received on one Of these ma
chimes. A first-class telegrapher, using
a typewriter, receives about forty
messages an hour. And one advantage
the Barclay machine has over human
hands is that it never makes a mis-
take, no matter at how high a pres
sure it is operated. Whatever is put
into the machine at one end Of the line
will come out at the other. regardless
of distance. providing the tape is prop
erly punched.
Newspapers and brokers employ
practically all the available tirst-class
telegraphers and while at the present
time there are many operators out OF
jobs, owing to the strike and loss of
business consequent thereon. the re-
verse is usually the case and good
operator who is reliable, never has to
look long for Job.
