Corkllis Incite, JWW0L GET YOUE- WILL EXHIBIT IN THE WRITING TELEGRAPH. It is not impossible that within a few years the telephone will pass entirely out of use. There is a probability of its being succeed ed shortly by what is called the writing telegraph, and a company, whose purpose, it is to establish writing telegraph exchanges, has been formed in San Francisco. The instrument can be used by anyone as easily as can be the tel ephone, and an exhibition of its value was made in San Francisco" a few day ago before an electrical society of that city. The manag er oi the new company, M. L. Hadley, read an essay describing the instrument, and also submit ted'practical tests. -The writing telegraph is gener ally similar to the telephone, ex cept that the handwriting is trans mitted instead of the sound. The operator sits at his desk, makes connection with some other instru ment and writes his message. The party addressed may or may not be at his place of b'asiness; the message is transmitted just the sime. The new instrument has been in use in New York for some fifteen months, and is specially used in transmitting information of the progress of baseball games, races and other sporting events to business houses and ' newspapers in the city, interested in thesa matters. It will be useful, how ever, for commercial business as well, and is particularly valuable ior private wires, lue impor tant elements of secrecy and in difference to noise are secured by the writing telegrabh. The store or olflce may be filled with noisy people, yet the little instrument proceeds to business without bin ; drance. Instead of shouting an order to a business house the mer chant sits down and noiselessly writes it Two copies of the mes sage are made. One remains in the possession of the sender, and . the other the receiver, one being a check on the other, thus avoiding ' the misunderstanding so frequent ly the result of the use of the tel ephone. The cost of maintaining an exchange is less than that of the telephone, and rates to patrons are therefore reduced. In writing the stylus or pen is held in the writer's hand as in ordinary writ ing. The characters are transmit ted to the receiving instrument . and shaped there one by one on paper pulled uniformly L under neath by clockwork. "This transmitter we have here," said Mr.- Hadley in his address; "is a new one. The inventor obtain ed his result from a series of steel tongues arranged in a vertical po sition and placed at right angles to each other. To each tongue is connected a given resistance of German silver wire. The upper end of these tongues are tipped wild platimum in order to prevent oxidization 'from strong currents. The receiver consisl s of two pairs ef magnets, each in circuit with one of the line wires, and placed at right angles, to each other. The rod which carries the pen and the armature has a spring wire pro jecting at its base, and fastened at a point where the two poles would meet if extended. The armature quickly responds to the varying attraction of the magnets, and its 1UU CALC11U3 flUUVC 11IO Ul U1B case and carries a pen. This pen is fed through a siphon from an ink well, by what is known as cap illary attraction." The arrival of 360 paupers among 4000 emigrants who landed at New Yprk on Monday," forms about the worst feature of our im port, trade for the whole year. There is no demand" for these goods. Fort "Worth, Tex., has eight na tional banks and eleven railroad outlets..
