To oomparo the present with the ancient
. fneans of communication la to appreciate
that )rou axe living In the commercial
twentieth century.
One of the first systems of aerial teleg
raphy was attempted In the fifteenth cavi
tary. The originator was Amontona, at
fcfcat time considered one of the cleverest
clentlats In U world. He developed a
) stem of signal telegraphy ao that a mes
mf could be sent from Psiis to Rom
In three hours. Those who aaalsted In the
tranamlaslon of the message along the Una
were unablo to tell the nature of the mes-
Poets were planed from Paris across the
Alps at consecutive points, where me a
wero stationed with teleecopus. Different
Jgnata. representing combinations of let
ters, were rvf up at each poet. The man
ht tt sad, seeing tin signal, plaood
a similar one before his post, and so the
message was carried to Its destination.
The key to the signal was known only to
those who sent the message In Paris and
the recipients a thousand miles away.
Amontona was not encouraged In his work
by the puffy, gouty functionaries of the
time and discontinued his efforts.
Loag-Dlataare 'Traasmlasloa.
Perhaps the real lnauguratora of the
system of long' distance ' transmission of
message were the Gauls. If you leave
your ofSca some afternoon and see a friend
across the street and cry "Ob, there!" you
are using a system of telegraphy In vogue
In Europe until 1791. The ciy of huppa,"
from which the English "Oh. there!" was
derived, was the mouth telegraphy of the
ancient Franka, and by which they sent
a message at the rate of U0 miles a day.
A number of men, stationed at certain
Intervals over a long stretch of country,
sent messages, one to the other, so quickly
that Caesar, to his Commentaries, said the
natives forwarded warnings of his approach
at the rate of fifty leagues from sunrise to
sunset. At night they used signal Area or
"hauchees." While tympana war beaten

To the tourist wandering through France
and over the Pyrenees Into Spain the old

square and round are situated on the most
prominent hillocks. Up to 1844 when ex
periments assured the success of the electric
telegraph these towers were the neana of
communication In Franco. In that year
there were 636 stations. The towers were
two stories high, with Index signals of light
wood or iron mounted at the top of a pole
on the roof.
This system was originated by Claude
Chappe, and was presented to the National
Aasembly of Franc on March 22, 172.
Chappe had prepared a secret vocabulary
composed of 9,986 word, represented by
character. The convention conducted a
series of trials, and, elated by what Its
member called the simplicity of the
scheme, adopted It.
Slaraal Telegraphy.
At that tlmo France waa at war with
nearly the whole of Europe. The first
telegraphic national message was received
by Carnot, grandfather of a recent French
president, telling of the restoration of
Cond to the republic.
The news of the taking of Bruxellea by
th French was transmitted from that city
to Paris In twenty-five minutes. Message
were sent by placing signal at the top
of th pole en th tower. Th tele
grapher at th on end mounted a ladder
and changed them by hand. There waa
alway some on on watch oa th tower
to not th signal from th others. The
lino of station was extended by th flrat
Bonaparte to Milan. Ualy, and thence to
Mayeac. Oeraiaay. As the French army
retreated th telegraph post war d
stroy. Compared ta Lbo modern ap
paratus which is carried by an army, th
old system waa rather inconvenient.
Semaphores la Use.
During th Crimean war a system of
sending message by the us of sema
phore was adopted In 1864. by which mes
sage were conveyed from one camp of th
allied armle to another. Arms extended
from a framework of wood, which could
be operated by wires by a man below In
a tent. By lifting or lowering the arms
mee sages were sent from one division to
another.
While th efficiency and success of the
electric telegraph was assured by 1850, and
wire were strung up all over northern
France, it was not until th end of that
year that they were opened for publlo use.
Even when private Individuals were al
lowed to send messages, they were required
to giv proof of their Identity, but the
secrecy of the dispatch was considered In
violable. A few months after the wires
were given tor public use th first sub
marine cable waa laid. Pittsburg Express-Gaxett.
RAILROADING J)N ONE RAIL
Devle of a Usles Iaveator Astoa
labes Eaperte aad ProTOke
Ceaaest.
For twenty years or more Inventor have
been buay with the problem of making
train run on on rail Instead of two.
The object Is to overcome th friction
from th two rails aad th osclllaUoa of
our present system, which is so great that
only about 11 per cent of the power gen
erated I applied directly to propelling th
train. The difficulty ha been to main
tain a steady balance for a train having
a single point of support Toward th
solving of that problem th Inventor have
been coming nearer and nearer since th
day when Boynton built hi "bicycle rail
road" across th Coney island marsh.
At last th problem seems to have been
aolved by an English Inventor named Bren
nan that may, perhaps, turn out an Irish
bull who ha Just given a demonstration
of hi single rail method which 1 reported
to have evoked much emphatic approval
at a meeting of th Royal society In Lon
don. This body of scientist is reported
to have ranked Brennan high on th roll
with Newton, Watt and Stephenson. Both
the Boynton and th Behr monorail train
have been supported and have been run
on a single track without falling off, and
the success of the Behr system is so great
that strong pressure ha been brought upon
our board of estimate to authorise th line
which th promoter want to run from
Atlantic avenue to Coney Island. Th
Brennan Idea differ from all Its predeces
sor In applying th principle of the re
volving top to maintain th balance of hi
cara A top spins so faat that It Is held
firmly upright, and only become unstable
when th rotary motion slows down. Bren
nan has In each car machiery which he de
scribe a "two flywheel rotated directly
by electric motor In opposite directions at
a very high velocity aad mounted so that
their gyrostatlo action and stored up en
ergy can be utilised.' These flywheels are
mounted on high class bearings and are
placed in exhausted case, . so air and
Journal friction 1 reduced to a minimum,
and consequently th power required to
keep them In rapid motion 1 very small."
To a layman It sounds a If that appa
ratus would be inadequate to maintain the
balance of a train crossing a river on a
single wire hawser In place of a bridge,
which I on of the Brennan promise.
But thai remain th fact that hi model
train ran for hour around th aasembly
room of th Royal society, turned sharp
corners, ran up and down Incline and
crossed a wide gulf on a single strand of
wire. Moreover, th load plied In th car
distributed It weight automatically so that
the balance was not disturbed. Th Inves
tigator tried piling loads on one aid of
th car only to find that the' loaded aid
rose Instead of sinking.
That sounds Ilk witchcraft to th novloa.
but not half ao much ao as Morse's dream,
or Bell's or Marconi'. AH th scientist
who watched th experiment were pleased
and declared that a new method of locomo
tion had been established. What may hap
pen In th practical application of th de
vice to the carriage of heavy load and
th distribution of paasenger remain to
bo seen. The government of India ha ap
propriated M.OOO for Brennan to build an
experimental road with. The Inventor'
first idea 1 to make his invention useful
to the British army in carrying supplies
through a new country, a he ha had
th Brennan torpedo acoepted by th Brit-
lh navy. If an army can lay a alngl
track through a rough country with ltttl
rradlng, and transport It troop and sup
ply trains, Brennan will have revolution
ised war and haatened the conquest of th
African wilderness.
Beyond that h expect to revolution"
travel. On Important difference between)
hi single-rail plan and those of hi prede,
ceasor Is that he proposes to make car
wider Instead of narrower than the present
models. He dream about balancing hotel
on his single rail and aplnnlng them acros
country at a hundred mUe an hour.
Cyrano d Bergerao dreamed about flying
to th moon. But so Stephenson dreamed
about an engine which would make a col
