WRITTEN BY ELECTRIC PEN
Automatic Hand at Receiving End Of
Telephone Records what Has
Been Transmitted.

London.-An automatic hand, hold.
ing an electric pen and gliding with
a strange mechanical noise over a pad
Of paper, to record the thoughts or
wishes of some friend or business con-
nection, may soon be seen in many
homes and business houses. It is, in
deed, already in use in many parts of
London, but one can only write by
electricity from one part of some es-
tablishment to another part of the
same building.
Now, however, exchanges are being
installed, similar to telephone ex-
changes, so that every one who has a
telephone car have this remarkable
recorder added.
The electric writer is called the
telewriter, and a 21-year lease has
been granted by the postmaster-gen-
eral, enabling telewriter exchanges to
be formed, by means of which any one
possessing a telewriter will be able
to ring up another person who has
one.
0uppooC tuS pSlSOu you lluS up Is
out. This will not deter you from
communicating with him. You write
a message with your electric pen, and
simultaneously the same writing APP
pears on the pad at the other SUBJ
scriber's instrument. When asking a
broker to buy shares at a certain
price, the advantage of being able to
give him the figures in writing on
paper is obvious.
The first exchange is being erected
at 20 Bucklersbury, E. c., and it is anA
ticipated that by the beginning or
middle of March. it will be in full OPP
Grafton. Should all the people in the
city now using telewriters in their
offices become subscribers, there will
be something like 100 persons or firms
connected with the exchange.
A little later it is proposed to start
other exchanges, in the west end and
other parts Of London, and then in
many of the provinces.

A Monkey Trick.

curator Raymond L. Ditmars, of the
New York zoo, was praising the intel
ligence of monkeys.
"A Philadelphia man." he said, was
hurrying out Powellton avenue n

organ grinders little monkey dropped
dead The poor grinders grief was
pltlful. The Philadelphia, touched.

away.
A hour later. returning through
Market street. he saw the same organ
grinder, and. just as he passed. the
monkey again dropped dead. and The
grinders grief was even more pitiful
than before.

laugh. The grinder, recognizing him.

remain there till 1t Is time TO come to
Washington again for the resumption
Of the session.
There will be ct least one new senator
from New England to keep the demo-
cratic senator from Maine company in the
next Congress. As New England senators
generally make acme mark in Congress,
Washington takes special note about the
new men elected from that section.
Accordingly the dispatches from Augusta
and Providence will be read with avidity
In official Washington o. the legislatures
Of those two states assemble jointly and
begin to ballot.
It may be that the new Maine senator
will have three new colleagues from New
England, for lively contests are under
way in Massachusetts, and Connecticut for
the respective togas OF Senators Henry
Cabot Lodge and Morgan q. Bulkeley.
However, he will be the lone New Eng
land democrat in the Senate, and will
have eleven New England republican col
leagues. He will sit on the left hand side
of the Senate chamber, ~ one faces the
vice. president, and his eleven Yankee
friends will all be on the other side OF the
centre aisle.

Hancock Democrats.
The democrats of Hancock county
hold strong hand in State politics
and are playing the game.
At . pre- legislative caucus held
here last week, as reported else
whore, they placed themselves on rec
ord ~ favoring Charles F. Johnson,
Of WatervilIe, for United States sena-
tor. This puts them in right with the
.Waterville bunch, and with the
further understanding that, with An
drew P. Havey, OF Sullivan, only a
passive candidate for secretary OF
state, the Hancock delegation is for
Cyrus W. Davis for that Office, Han
cock and Waterville seem securely
welded.
This will help along the candidacy
of Edward e. Brady, OF Ellsworth. for
State treasurer, and his chances for
landing in that desirable berth seem
good. Hancock may reas ,nably ex-
pect one good slice OF the political
pie, and with Mr.. Brady the only
Hancock county man lined up in the
front row At the pie counter, hie
chance OF . slice is good.
True, there are other appointive
onices on which Hancock county has
it's eyes. James A. McGown, OF Ellis
worth, whose candidacy for warden Of
the State prison was announced in
THB AMERICAN last week, has the
backing of the Hancock county demo.
cratic committee and delegation to
Augusta.
Frank e. Mace, of Great Pond,
representative elect from his class,
has his hooks out, it lie understood,
for appointments to the office of State
land agent and forest commissioner,
and no one in or out of his party will
deny his fitness for the position.
Joseph e. Harmon, OF Stonington,
who served faithfully as a member OF
the minority party in the House two
years ago, and was reelected this
year. lie another Hancock county man
who makes modest claim to reoogni
tion. He would like to be commits
sioner of sea and shore fisheries.
Senator elect Byron H. Mayo has also
been mentioned in connection with
this ONCE, but We understand he has
not personally announced his candi-
dacy.
There will be lots OF good things
distributed at the new statehouse in
Augusta this winter and during the
coming two years, and Hancock
county wants her share.

"why 10 the FIy?',

Woods Hutchinson delivered . half
humorous, hslf-serious address on the
question, "Why is Fly," at Washington
recently. '.No longer to be dismissed
with contemptuous 'shoo,' but an in
duence to be reckoned with, the fly is .
hustler from way back, said the speaker,
land he distributes samples of pestiience,
marked D. o. D.-'Death on Delivery
with lavish hand.
MWe may admire him for his industry,
psrtinacity and business enterprise; We
may even love him-luke- warmly--as one
of Gods creatures; but we had better wipe
him gently but firmly out of existence
Just the same. He is the best travelling
salesman known, carries q grip on each of
his six legs and trunk in his head. His
line of samples is extensive and will last
from time to eternity.
ssHe is more of 9 nurseryman and tree
agent than anything else, the only one
whose seeds and cuttings bear blossoms
and fruit equal to the pictures in the
catalogue. In fact, they bloom, meyer fad
ing -on the other side of the Jordan; or
rath translate you to bloom there"
Among the specialities OF the fly, DIR.
Hutchinson mentioned: sBacillus typho-
sus tEberth), hardy perennial, seldom
known to winter, kills even in Alaska,

ally in the United States. Value OF lives
destroyed, 400, 100000.
"a fiy in the house is as dangerous as Q
rattiesnake, as filthy as louise, as dis
graceful as bedbug. The time will come
when any modern, cleaniy home will feel
itself shamed and disgraced by the pre-
ssnce Of fly, and when every householder
upon whose premises brood OF flies is
detected viii be fined heavily and ..ssnt to
