HE War Department owes the public fuller explanation of what! it has done to the Twenty-second Regiment of Engineers, N.G.N. Y. Suddenly to abolish the regiment because a number of its mem- bers are not qualified engincers seems a clumsy way to tackle a not very difficult problem. A regiment of engineers may be a military misnomer. But if it is a misnomer now, why wasn’t it a misnomer in 1901, when the T'wenty-second was changed from an infantry regiment to an engineering regiment? Engineers or no engineers, the T'wenty-second has given an excel- lent account of itself from the days of Harper’s Ferry and Gettysburg down to the Spanish War. It did good service in the railroad riots of 1872 and 1876. Records of the State and War Departments show it to have been always reliable and efficient. Such a well-drilled, ready guard is a first-rate nucleus and example of defense in any city or State in the country. Why destroy a good thing because it happens to be fitted with @ Wrong name? r ‘f H revolt against theatre ticket extortion, New York has settled back into apathy and consents to be fleeced more outrageously than ever by the ticket speculators. Two dollar seats in the first ten rows for popular musical come- jes now running are regularly quoted at $7, 85 and $4, according to tion. Those seats for days ahead are in the hands of two or three well-known speculators. The hotel newsstands, which are supposed te serve public convenience, and which charge an advance of fifty cents over box office prices, hold practically none of these “choice” eats. To ask for a seat nearer than the twelfth row at the box office of one of these theatres is to invite scorn and contempt. What special power protects theatre ticket speculators in this ity? And what becomes of efforts to suppress them ? E by trying to suppress facts.

The card bore the insignia of every secret and fra- ternal order known, It also stated that Bertram BH, Bogus was a special agent for insurance, musical instruments, coal and wood, subscription books, otle, Paint and varnish, automobiles, type- writers, real estate and unlisted stocks. In fact, it was evident that Mr, Bogus of Brooklyn did everything, except work, for a liying. Seeing the full quartet coming out of the atreetside inn were midway in a holiday hiatus, the gentleman who cryptically cried the shibboleth of second hand clothes approached them with a morry smile, When they paused to greet him asa dear old friend and chanted to him that old acquaintance shouldn't be forgot for the days of Old Lang Syne, he in- formed them that he paid spot cash for ladies’ and gontlemen's cast off clothing, Whereup Mr. Rangle gave a loud ery Dut not to reward one’s self as ab- solutely bound them.

By Albert Payson Terhune Covrraht, 1014, by The Pr: Publianing Uo, (The New Lorn brening World), NO. 9.—MAY 24, 1844.—First Telegram Sent. WASHINGTON girl—Elizabeth Ellsworth, daughter of the Com- missioner of Patente—stood in the Supreme Court room of the Capitol, beside @ table on which had been placed an apparatus almost as cumbrous and large n automobile engine. Around , the table were a group of breathlessly excited people. One gray bearded man fn particular was white and trembling with suspense. For the future , of the world was about to be changed. | The date was May 24, 1844. The awkward machine on the table was, | the “Electro Magnetic and Chem'csiliy Recording Telegraph.” The gray | bearded man was its inventor, Samuel Finley Breese Morse, whom folk had for years been sneering at as a luna’ and who was henceforth to | be hailed as one of the world’s foremost geniuses, At a word from Morse, Miss Ellsworth placed her fingers on the rude- | ly constructed key of the instrument, and slowly ticked off a message. She | was not an expert telegrapher. No one was. For Morse had but lately \ {Gane ve, bis famous code of signalling; and few peoplc had troubled to learn As tho girl laboriously tranamitted the message, Morse’s assistant, Henry T. Rogers, in far-off Baltimore, took it down and, in the presence of a crowd of eager or scoffing onlookers, wrote it out on a sheet of paper. The message ran: @ “WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT!” This was the first telegram ever sent and received. A now era had dawned; era which was to knit the whole world together and to annihi- late time and space. Morse was a@ painter, a sculptor, a professor in the University of New York. He also made the first camera and took the first photograph (daguerreotype) in America! On a trip to France, in 1882, he inter- ‘ed in electricity, and in the belief that it could be used for the trans- mitting of words and sentences to long distances. The ancient Romans had spelled out word signals by means of fires of various sizes and materials. They had also wig-wagged messages with torches. The Indians used fires as @gnal flares.. The semaphore was in use as early as 1 But Morse was the first man to talk successfully, at long range, with electricity, 1 he had sent messages over a mile of wire at his University laborato! He said then: “If I can make it work for one mile 3} can do it for ten. If I can do it for ten, I can send messages around the whole world.” In 1887 he had @ practical apparatus, which he patented; and he asked | Congress to grant him $30,000 to perfect his idea. The project was laughed at. Finally, it was favored by a House Committee, but went no further. He applied to several foreign governments, but in vain. In 1843 the appro- priation went through Congress. Miss Ellsworth brought Morse the news: and as a reward, when a line was established between Baltimore and Washington, he let her send the first message. She sought in vain for some /f Her mother at last directed her’ e twenty-third verse of the twenty-third chap- ter of Numbers, And thus the message, “What Hath God Wrought,” was chosen. t Baltimore about that time And the nnn. \% “What Hath ! 3 God Wrought.” | anne The Democratic Convention met Battle and Triumph. eee nomination of James R. Polk for the Presidency was the first news ever sent by telegraph. Even then, Morse could not interest enough people in the invention to get wires put through to Philadelphia. It was only , after a long wait that the public awoke to the wonder- ful value of telegraphy. Thon a throng of crooks tried , to steal Morse’s ideas. He was tangled up f@r years in a network of dreary litigation. , But he emerged triumphant. All nations delighted to honor him. He was avalanched under medals and other decorations from foreign ments. He was one of the few men to see his own statue erected and un. yelled, and to reap full reward for his achievement.
