china and tho T.lsaranh.

China was confronted with a stin problem at the introduction of the tele- graph. It was hopeless to think of combining the western Morse dots and dashes in sufficient variety to express the 5000 or 4,O00 characters used by fairly literate Chinese. not to speak of the entire 10000 or so known to the highly educated men of that race. A phonetic system was barred by the fact that the same Chinese monosylla- ble means different things, according to the context or intonation and also by the diversity of dialects. A Dane. Professor Schellerup. found the solu- ton. The 1000 characters most com monly used are given their equivalents in code of numerals and these uu- morals are telegraphed. Thus. cash in the code Is 6,03o. If any one want ed to telegraph the number 6,o30 itself he would send the code equivalents of the words "six," "thousand" and thirty"
