In other words, If attached to a tele-
graph wire between here and Detroit
and a message was necessary to be
sent to every agent in every office, it
would be sent simultaneously, received
by them and recorded, all in plain
English; but on the other hand, if the
message were only intended for one
Of the operators to receive, by the
simple turning of a switch every other
machine could be cut out of the cir
cult.
A letter or character struck on a
typewriter in the sending office is i'm
mediately recorded on the typewriter
in the receiving office. This requires
but one depression of the key, against
several muscular impulses necessary
to send each character by the Morse
system. The expert Morse operator
sends about thirty words a minute,
while the typewriter transmits mes
sages more than three times as fast.
Mistakes are eliminated, because the
correctness of the message is not de-
pendent upon the proper translation
Of combination of sounds represent
ed by dots and dashes licked off in
the receiving office.
If mistake is made 1t will appear
on the record in front of the operator,
and by means of back space adjust
ment the machine will move the mes
sage back to the error; the operator
will then depress the letter x, mark
out the mistake and correct. Anoth-
err advantage claimed for the telegraph
typewriter is that 1t is proof against
weather and atmospheric changes Of
any kind and requires no relay when
working at distance of 1000 miles
or under.
It can be operated over telegraph or
telephone wires without disturbing q

special seal to be made in England,
and this one for the army was the
first.
In the Metropolitan Museum of Art
is one of these electrotypes on exhibit
ton. On the cart it is stated to have
been designed by John Henry Foley,
the Irish sculptor, and the figure in
the center to be Washington, after
Thomas Crawfords' statue. This is
a mistake, as Mr.. Semmes stated the
seal was to have been for the war de-
partment. and the figure in the center
on horseback was intended for Stone
wall Jackson.
How Il Was Secured.
"A few weeks after the fall of Rich
mond ! happened to be in the Harlem
and New Haven depot, then where the
Madison Square Garden buildings yet
stand, in Fourth avenue. The depot
was filled with New England regi-
ment which had Just arrived and was
waiting for the noon train. Near me
was soldier who was frequently
pitching something into the air and
catching it. 1t seemed like a large
brass medal, and as am always cur
ious about such things | asked him
what he had, and he handed me the
seal of the Confederate treasury de-
partment.
IT asked him where he got it, and
was told that he was about one of the
first soldiers to get into Richmond al
ter Mr.. Davis left it, and he made his
way direct to the capitol, in hope of
finding something of value. In the first
room he entered he saw this stamp,
in a wooden case. He got
brick, with which he pounded the
frame until the seal was released.
"He told me there were a number
of men from his town who had just
been obliged to borrow the money for
their passage from New York, and if
| would give him enough to return this
money l could have the seal. | hap

TELEGRAPH TYPEWRlTERS.
:: : :. *#* 49, : = : = -:

The long distance typewriter has
arrived. You can now typewrite all
over the country as we'll as you can
telephone or telegraph.
Chicago will have the opportunity
the coming week to witness the opera
ton and service of this new invention
by practical demonstration of two
sages between local points, and later
in the week machines will be in opera
ton between Chicago and Detroit,
Mich.
The typewriters are of a familiar
pattern, except that there is a round
case on top which holds the special
mechanism. AS far as the operation
Is concerned, the message Is dis
patched in the same way that type
writer is run, and all that Is seen on
the machine is the typewheel, spin
ming, to make the record. With half
the number of parts that the standard
typewriter has and the keys respond
ing to the lightest touch, anyone can
use 1t. In the hands of a skilled ste
nographer a speed of 115 words a min
ute can be maintained, while an ordi-
nary operator with no special skill can
transmit from so to so words min
claims.
The machine is so built that by the
operation Of the keyboard on the type
writer the message is transmitted and
reproduced on any and all machines
that may be attached on the circuit,
or the message can be reproduced on
one, two or more machines to the ex-
clusion Of the others when necessary.

that it does pay and pays we'll when

BY n. w. Harmed, EntomoIosist.


During the past month, the A. & M.
College in cooperating with the u S,
Bureau of Entomology has been in
vestigating the boil weevil situation
in Mississippi, 1t has been found that
there are fewer weevils in the infest-
ed territory at this time than at any
time since the advent of this insect
into the state. Weather conditions
adverse to the boil weevil have caused
this great reduction in their numbers.
There are at least three factors that
have assisted in this good work
First. During last October, there
was an early freeze that caught large
numbers of weevils at work in the
fields.
Second. Early last January, over
large portion of the infested territory
the temperature was very low, be-
tween and IA F, on several days.
This is the coolest weather that the
weevils have had to pass through
since their advent into the state.
Third: During May and June 1911,
there was a continued period of dry
hot weather.
The three weather conditions that
are known to be of the greatest aid in
the control of the boil weevil are long
periods Of hot dry weather during the
growing season, exceedingly cold win
tiers, and early fall freezes, Al three
OF these conditions have come to our
aid in Mississippi; during the past
nine months. Nature has been of
great assistance to us in the control
of the boil weevil this year but II is
necessary for us TO do our part if the
boil weevil injury is to be kept to the
minimum.
What to do now: At this season Of
the year (midsummer) two practices
should be followed. First, the cotton
should be kept in high state of cult
walton. The soil should not be allow
ed to become hard. but continuous
shallow cultivation should keep the
surface covered with fine dust
mulch.
Second, all punctured squares
should be picked up and destroyed.
When eggs are laid in the cotton
squares, the squares turn yellow and
flare open and usually fall to the
ground. All of these should be pick
ed up, but all yellow or unhealthy
looking squares on the plants should
also be gathered. If all of these
squares are destroyed by burning, the
eggs and grubs or young weevils with
In them will be killed and therefore
will not become weevils to lay their
eggs In other squares later in the seas
on. AS each weevil that develops now
may become the ancestor Of a great
number OF weevils later on, it is al
once evident. that it is very essentia
that as many as possible be destroyed
early In the season.
All Of the adult weevils that can be
found should be destroyed at once
These weevils are now laying theil
eggs and destroying cotton squares
Each weevil that is killed
means the saving Of a large
number Of cotton bolls. The
adult weevfls win be most often found
within. or around the outside Of the

How often Should the Squares and
WeeviIs be Picked Up?

1t will pay to go over the crop just
as often as you can do So Until we
have more information on this sub
ject we advise doing this work once
each week if it is possible to do so.
This collecting of squares and weevils
must be done carefully and systemat-
ically. If 1t is done in a hap-hazard
or careless manner, it will probably
mean wasted time.
