81 was again in the room occupied
by Professor Morse, with his electro
magnetic battery applied 10 his tele-
egrnph The wires (two) extend 10 the
village Of Beltsville. I2 miles from
Washington. While was there, he
had a connexion Of the wires al the dis
tance of II miles, so that the termini
were on the same table, making The ois-
ianco of go miles for the fluid 10 pass.
By applying the fluid 10 one end the
other caused small hammer to strike
a small iumbler The touches were
simultaneous-that is TO say, as you
touched one end, letting on the fldid,
the other at the same instant struck the
glass, although the huid had 70 pass the
whole distance Of 22 miles. Bat this is
no hing-ihe same effect would be pro-
duced did the wire extend around tho
globe, instead OF around post miles
distant


Mr. Morse said that 10 coarers!ng
with the superintendent at the other
end, he sometimes forgot himself, and
was about to speak 10 him as though he
was present, forgetting that he was
talking TO man or IL miles distant.
1t is estimated that the electric fluid
travels at the rate of 10000 miles
or nearly eight times the circumference
olthe globe in a single second.-U. s..
