After watching tho transmission of about a thousand words a minute over an artificial circuit equal to the distance from New York to Buffalo the government employee produced from bis pocket tho cipher cable of which four sample words aro given and. with a laconic "Send this," handed it to the operator.

After tho perforation of the tape by which the Tolopost apparatus operates the mossiige was placed In the rapid transmitter, and every word came out of the receiver in exactly four seconds.

The advantage of mechanical receiving was strikingly demonstrated, for to read these meaningless Jumbled of letters by sound would bo very difficult and Inki! a long time.
