 The New England states are to- day utilizing the invention of Pat rick [ elany. known as the tele- post to great advantage. Busi- ness houses in Boston are using this form of communication for their correspondence where pre- viously the United States mails were used and where immediate delivery is desired. The telepost has reyolutionized the means of communication between cities, and within a short time it is confidently predicted that this system of cheap co nmunication will be extended over the entire country.
 By MT. Delany's comparatively simple invention it is possible to transmit messages to any distance  at the rate of thousand words per minute, and these are automatic ally received at the other end of the line. Not only has the telepost been in operation long enough to demonstrate impressively that it can accomplish all that was claimed for the system mechanic ally. but it has also shown that it's low rate produces a large volume of business that never existed when 25 cents for 10 words was the minimum charge.

 telepost and the 1O-word tele- card for 10 cents the greatest of telepost innovations is the tele- tape" The rate on these is only 25 cents for 100 words between any two points. For each addi- tional 20 words the charge. is 5 cents. To large users of wire service the company leases perfor- 'ating machines having standard typewriter keyboards. After per forating his own message the send CT delivers the tape to the telepost company for transmission and de livery, and the receiver makes his own transcription.
 In addition to it's great economy the teletape service gives the ab- solute secrecy that has long been demanded, but never before at tained in telegraphing. While the utmost secrecy is sought in letter corresponding, telegrams of the confidential nature must. under old conditions, be handled by at least two telegraph operators.
 Patrick Delany's life has been largely devoted to electrical inven- tions. He at present holds 15O patents covering aate-induction cables, synchronous multiplex telegraphy, transmitting six mes sages simultaneously over one wire. which has been adopted by tie British government and was awarded gold medal and diploma at the international inventions ex- hibit in London in 1885. His automatic system of ocean cables attracted much attention, as have his other remarkable inventions.
 Mir. Delany was born in ireland GA wears ago and early in his youth learned telegraphy in Hartford Conn.,, where he worked up from office boy to superintendent oi lines. He then branchsd out ir newspaper work and became editor and writer He has received many f1attering tokens of his ability ano worth to the engineering profes- sion. He is quiet man, reserved and. like Edison. capable of con centrating thought for long periods at a time. The work he has done in ptrfecting the telepost system
