NEW FRENCH INVENTION
SENDS WRITING BY WIRE

PARIS.-In the exact handwriting
of the sender, messages are being sent
over telegraph wires in France at the
rate of from rs to 100 words in three
minutes. Written on any kind of
paper, special ink is used that leaves
a solid deposit and a slightly raised
elevation when dry. This document is
wrapped on a cylinder that revolves
the message under a needle similar 10
that of photograph. Every time the
point passes over one Of the raised
lines of the message, an electric cur
rent is interrupted. Every momen-
tary stoppage of the current at the
sending station causes a beam of light
to be directed against cylinder at
the receiving end, carrying piece Of
sensitive paper. When finished, the
Photographic blank is removed and
developed, giving an photographic re-
production of the original message.
The apparatus is now installed in sew
eral stations operated by the French
government and has proved success
ful.
