with him, devised lever and point
which would make certain impress
sions upon a paper page. 1t was a
part of young Wallis duty to find out
what was the best symbol for each
letter in the alphabet, so he went
into the Office of printer in MOTIFS
town and discovered that the letter
re" was the one most frequently used
In setting up type. He said to his
friend, eff that is so, then the letter
;e can be represented by a dot, and
then by a combination of dots and
dashes we shall have all the other
letters"
Upon experiment the idea worked
perfectly and Vail and his mechanic
friend were SO excited when their
final demonstration was made that
they ran hatlesss from their work
shop to Judge Wallis house shouting:
We've got 1t! The instrument
works perfectly"
And it was because of the remon-
stration that the Vail system was
adequate that Judge Vail was per-
suaded to give financial support so
that professor Morse was enabled to
patent the apparatus.
The records recently discovered will
show undoubtedly that what are
called the Morse symbols should
more properly be called the wall
symbols" But Alfred Vail was the
last man to seek to gain credit for
himself at the expense of any one
else. He was so loyal man of
science that it was sufficient for him
that Professor Morse, with whom he
was associated, had given to the
world an apparatus which would
make the instant communication
of intelligence over long distances
commercially practicable.

SUGGESTIONS
TO CAR BUYERS

In considering the purchase OF
an automobile" said Robt, Akin.
son. manager OF the Pacific Motor
Car Co. this morning. the aver
age man Ia apt 10 overlook some
OF the most important details sim

"A car that has pr'co OF. say.

Another point. and one that
hinges very closely on this cut

men take into consideration the
