VERY LATEST IN TELEGRAPH! Typewriters Operated bj Iiviiibla Handi Between How Tork and Chicago. MARVELOUS SPEED OF THE MACHINE Thirty TUobmbA Words Rel OS tm Mb Hoar PtobImI HTIm tloB la Tclca-rBphy Practi cally Aasurad. Two typewriting machines In New York today are operating, with lucreJible speed, by Invisible hands. In fact, the hand of the brain that Is moving the machanlsm of each of these typewriters, which at this hour are writing words and sentences, are a thousand miles away. As one of the machines strikes A, at that Instant It obeys an Impulse In Chicago that it write this letter Of the alphabet In New York. And the hand and the brain In Chicago, which operates this typewriter in New York, is as devoid ot human life as the lifeless Iron of the typewriter which they Inspire to utter human thoughts. Yvt. after all. It Is only the latest evolu tion In the Invention of the telegraph. Itself the greater, though the older, miracle. Two dues as? now connected with New York by wire that w """ hours a day carry messages directly into typewriters, connected with an electric light current to operate their owa mechanism. They are Buffalo and Chicago. Peedlagr the Machine. Before each of these typewriters, resting on a table In the great operating room at the Western Union Telegraph building In Broadway, is seated a girl whose only duty Is to feed the typewriter with the yellow paper telegraph blanks, to watch them as the wonderful automaton this Inspired typewriter covers their surface with printed words, and to remote them when they are completed, ready for delivery to the person to whom they are addressed. From hour to hour as the machine rattles along about Its work she does not touch It. This wonderful machine Is the Invention of Dr. J. C. Barclay, assistant general man ager of the Western Union Telegraph com pany. That It is destined to revolutionise the operation of the wire telegraph, 110 one can doubt It has done it already. And wonderful as Is the adaptation of the typewriter In place of the little brass Morse sounder. vlll more wonderful Is the speed of the machine. The messages reach it from the city' on Lake Michigan In practically an unbroken succession. The girl draw them from the machine at the rate of two addressed, signed and completed messages a minute. Reauesseat of Male. a icw leci away ai me same tame a girl Is watching a paper, half an Inch In width, punctuated along Its length with a triple Una of round holes, gilds swiftly between two small wheels on the aids t a brass box. three inches wide, four inches high and eight Inches long. From within the plain brass box comes ao sound of the marvelous work It Is doing. Tha,t little box of metal and that swift moving tape, which never ceases to flow Into the basket below the table, soon fascinates the beholder even more than the mysteriously inspired and operated typewriter. Here Is Indeed the refinement of magic. This Uttl box, that appears like a solid block of brass. Is the hand and the brain that Is operating the typewriter and brain, within another little brass box. that In Chicago Is writing the messages on the typewriter here In New York. The young girl keeps the machine con stantly supplied with . the ' three or five feet lengths of tape, so that they run con tinuously, hour after hour, an unbroken line of the punctured strips through the fingers of the weirdly precocious Intelli gence whose electrically charged brain Is brass. Those punctured holes to the slender tape represent letters printed on the magic type writer In Chicago. The Hbsbbb EUssoat. Of course, human Intelligence comes In somewhere along the line It did not end Its relations with the typewriting telegraph system when Dr. Barclay completed his Invention of the machine and his workman built it. The tape is punctured by a machine as sisted by human hands. It has keyboard and works swiftly. Prom tha orlainal messaae of the sender ' the person operating this machine trans mits Its words onto the tape Into the ca balistic characters represented by the holes In the tape, this being the only writing the little brass intelligence on the tables can read and convey to bis. associate In Chi cago. This perforating machine In the hands ot a swift operator can do all Its work In placing a ten-word message on the tape In twenty seconds. Blmple as the typewriting-telegraphing machinery, it needs an electric expert to describe it and then an electrically unedu cated publlo might not understand. First, there Is the typewriter, of a stand ard commercial type, but with no keyboard. In tha base of the machine are thirty pairs of electrle magnets, each moving a type bar, for the machine prints only capital letters. The typewriter-telegraph machine was first tried last December between Buffalo and New York. It was acknowledged an Immediate success, crowning Dr. Barclay's Ave years' of hard work In perfecting Its wonderful mechanism. Capacity tor Work. Four months sgo two machines were placed In the company's main oiltce in Chicago and connected by a duplex wire with two machines in the New York nmre. Thtte have been In continuous operation since that time, each machine dulng the work of three Mors Instruments. Over two wires operating three-fifths of the time with typewriter telegraph machines, between New York and Chicago. C000 messages were sent In October. Sack machine at each end of the line for the wires work duplex handles an average of 100 messages an hour. The machine has also been tried suc cessfully between here and Ban Francisco, with the usual relays. To a newspaper representative Dr. Barclay said: "My machine Is suitable for the work of large cities and centers In these cities where the work Is continuous nd heavy. "In addition to Its ability to handle a large volume of business speedily and ac curately and with economy. It has the ad vantage of fixing the responsibility for mis takes In the transmission of messages. Only the sender of the message can make a mistake. The message is reproduced in New York exactly as It Is plowed on the machine in Chicago." At first the typewriter-telegraph system will be applied only to "trunk lines." Six or seven lines between here and Chicago will be equipped as speedily as possible, and the same number between New York and Boston. Other cities will follow. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

MUFF FOR HIS RICH HANDS Jaa Kabellk Plays Fair with the Insaraaeo Companies sal Iyooks Pleasaat. Only one pale, beautifully manicured hand, swift In its movements as that of a prestidigitator, was visible at one time to the reporters who talked with the Bo hemian violinist Jan Kubellk, as he came up the New York bay Monday aboard the resplendent Hamburg American llnor Amerlka, In from Hamburg, Dover and Cherbourg. The other band was hidden In a black muff of Persian lamb's wool. Like the one arm of Joe Wlllet, the mate of which wss "took off" In America, "where the war was," the single hand of the violin ist had the expressiveness of two ordinary ones. It acted as parentheses, exclamation points and Interrogation points to his slightly broken English, hardly a word of which he could speak when he was here four years ago. Sometimes It was the right and sometimes the left hand that ran Into the muff, like a white rat into a hole. These hands are Insured for 100.000 and that Is why Kubellk Is so careful about them. He said that the chill of a Novem ber day at sea or even on land might Im pair for a time their nervous nlmblnness, and that Is why he kept them covered al lernatnly. He had used the muff all the way across, except at meals. His wife, the Countess t'saky-Csell, was not with him, so he could not hold hands with her. He said that she and her year-eld twlaa were In fine shape and that she expected another, or maybe two other little visitors In Jan uary. The unmuffed hsnd wss a great help to the violinist In accentuating his meanings. It would have been a delight to a deaf mute, wont to reveal himself entirely through the sign language. The muffed hand was always quiescent, but the naked one It seems a shame to describe so beau tiful a creation so baldly was so alert and at times so-acrobatic that It looked as If It were endowed with a soul. It was no ordi nary vaudeville hand. Its movements were always refined and graceful, and. although It was bare, nothing that it did, by the longest stretch of the Imagination, could bring the blush of shame to the cheek of modesty. You could not Imagine such a hand spanking the twins, even If they were so improper as to break the Stradlvarlus. Mr. Kubellk talked pleasantly, with an ac cent that was quite charming, according to the woman reporter who got mixed In the masculine bunch, but the white hand was more eloquent New York Sun. The Fickle Fair. "My heart's broken." "What's the matter?" "I was making love to my sweetheart last night and her father tame suddenly Into the room." "Well, that was awkward, but hardly heart breaking." "Wasn't It? The old man merely re marked that It was a pity she couldn't stick to tha same fellow two evenings In succession. Then he left." I 4 I
