1eIearaphsr's Cramp.

An interesting feature OF teleg-
rapher's cramp is that certain let
tiers are nearly always the stumbling
block. The most frequent are c
and Y-that is, the code signals
used for these letters. When a
sender begins TO be Conscious"
about so common a letter as G his
case soon becomes hopeless. Anoth-
er form of cramp attacks the re-
ceiyer Of the message. 1t takes the
form of inability to write fast
enough to take down a message
quickly transmitted. This is easily
understood when it is remembered
that a receiver often has to write
continuously TO code dictation, so to
speak, for hours at a time. The
strain involved is enormous and
leads fairly commonly to what is
practically a form of nervous break
down.-Dundee Advertiser.
