A wireless telegraph writer, or icro graph as It Is called for the sake ot brevity, bat been Invented by an En? Ilshui.in. The aerograph lu appeHrnnre resembles an ordinary typewriter, but It Is of simpler construction, with a keyboard figured with tbe signs of the lexers and numerals," which can be printed or telegraphed to auy Dumber of Instruments. Each Instrument, the Inventor explains, Is at once a receiver and a transmitter, enabling operators to converse with out another In writ ing) and thus Obviating ' misunder standings; which afe apt to occur lu telephonic communications: fed faf messages hare been sent only for i short dlstnnce, but It is Intended to ex periment over wider spaces, aud it Is hoped that messages cauvbe sent to any distance that ether waves will carry: The machine Is always ready for Immediate use, and ss there Is no mechanism which requires td be wound t'p-lu order to obtain synchron ism, the operator has both bauds free for manipulation. Another advantage claimed for the Invention wilt be of special impdf tauee In military affairs.' Messages cannot be picked up. : To quote the Inventor's own words: "In sending n message yon are sounding two ether wares which allow you a choice of fifty-six signs, and ; these are given direct print, either as letters or figures. Ab solute secrecy Is thus obtained. The only way to Intercept messages would be, to employ a similar Instrument, which would have toJe synchronized to the same degree as the transmitting instrument. Lastly, these machines will receive their messages (which ate giveu at present nt a speed 6f twenty five words a minute) without anybody being present, and would thus be ot great advantage In n signal box, i.r. the signal -nan will receive clearly printed Instructions should be be ab sent tbe time the message Is sent to him. Nor will the machines work only without wires.

Eacll letter re quires only two Impulses, and the dif ferent lettcis are obtained by means of the time interval between thesi'Jui pnlses. For wireless purposes these Impulses operate a switch connection with the induction coil, thus making the sparks for sending the ether waves. The inductlou. coil is con nected with nu ncrlnl as well as an earth wire, "'o turn the nppHpiti's Into a receiving .Instrument it Is only iie'cssary to move a switch, which Is placed beneath inn typewriter.
