THE PTEROTYPE.

The first really practical typewriter was inspired, although not invented, by John Pratt, an Alabama journalist, who was born SS years ago today, April 14, 1881. Pratt invented a crude writing machine which he call ed the "Pterotype,'' which was pat ented in the United States and Great Britain and attracted much favorable comment when exhibited at the Royal Society in London. An account of this machine, written by A. Ely Beach, was published in the Scientific Ameri- can, and attracted the attention of c. L. Sholes, d Milwaukee ivnentor, Sholes- was fired with the ambition to perfect a really practical writing ma
 chine, and, with two other Milwaukee
 men, S. W. Soule and Carlos Glidden
 they set to work on the task. They
 knew nothing of what had been at tempted in that line, except the de scription of Pratts imperfect ma. chine. In 1867 they completed a ma. chine which wrote fairly we'll, bu yet was not good enough to place or the market. Soule and Glider dropped out and Sholes formed { partnership with James Densmore, | printer of Meadville, Pa. Within l few years they had produced a mark i etable machine.

Later he was dean of the Cathedral in Gin cinnati, and for several years he has been rector of the historic parish of St Georges at Hampstead. His par isn has proved itself worthy of the trust imposed in that it has minister cd in manifold ways to the large mum ber of soldiers and aviators quartered within it's confines.

corps, charged with shooting to death Major Miles c. Seton, also of the medical corps, at the house of the majors cousin, Sir Malcolm Se- ton in Holland Park. The hearing of this case in court has not been con-
 cluded.
 Murders of less importance fol- lowed, each having some unusual fea-
 ture. The city was again aroused a
 few weeks ago by the published state
 nent that Major H. E. Chaney. of the
 Royal Air Force, had tried to kill his ged mother, at Talgarth Mansions,
 and had been killed himself. Mrs Chaney was severely wounded, but
 hopes are entertained for her re-
 covery Police investigation threw no light on the tragedy so far as the
 public was concerned. Major ChateY
 was one of the best known officers of
 the British air force, having been the
 inventor of the camera gun with
 which cadets were trained in aerial
 gunnery.
 Of robberies there have been many, Holdups have taken place in the West End and in the suburbs at night,
 while scores of houses and apart nents have been robbed in the most clever manner.
 Jewelry robberies have perhaps been the most frequent crimes since the epidemic set in. A number of high class shops were entered in day light by thieves who, on prtense of | buying diamonds, have stolen jewels | to the value of many thousands of 1 dollars.
 Many causes are assigned for the l number and character of the crimes ] the majority of them placing the re- l sponsibility at the doors of discharged ! soldiers. Police officers from some | of the most important American | cities are in London seeking inter ! national criminals who may have 1 been discharged from some of the ar 1 mics. French and Italian officers al i so are said to be here, each looking 1 for an opportunity to assist in the l general roundup.

The po- lice in the neighborhood of important banking houses have been ordered to be especially vigilant, particularly at the lunch hour.
 The prevalence of crime was first called to the attention of the au- thorities when the newspapers made a sensation out of the sudden death or Billie" Carlton, a favorite actress, who was found dead in her apart ment the morning after the famous Liberty Ball several months ego. II developed that she had died from ar over dose of a drug. An investiga- ton showed that the practice of drug taking was increasing in the city and that "opium parties" were not un- common.
 Next the city was startled by the arrest of Lieutenant Colonel Norman C. Rutherford, of the army medical
