Does he believe the merchant can

Help for Telegrapher.

On long telegraph lines the current
coming into a station is generally so
weak that Il cannot even pull down the
magnet Of the loud sounding instru-
ment The current can, however, oper-
ate a small magnet on a very sensitive
telegraph instrument BY making this
small magnet close heavy battery cir
cult in which the loud sounder is placed,
the sensitive instrument acts as relay
and overcomes the difficulty,
Extra batteries and instruments are
therefore needed at every station. In
any large size telegraph system, the ex'
penses OF their upkeep are considerable.
A clever invention OF X A. Grout and
b. M. Grout of Davenport, Iowa, does
away with this expense by amplifying
the weak relay clicks directly by means
OF diaphragm and horn such as are
used in Sl phonograph instruments The
weak clicks are transmitted TO the dia-
phragm whose vibrations act upon the
air and shoot their corresponding
sounds out through the horn.--Popular
