ANOTHER GREAT INVENTION.

Elmer Burlingame, a young man of Laporte, Ind , has invented a system of transmitting messages by wire whiob will probably revolutionize telegraphy, if the claims made for it are correot. By means of Burlingame’s invention messages can be sent over the wires through a type-writer keyboard and they are re-produced at the receiving end in the typewritten form by the receiving type-writer. Each key touched at the sending point operates a corresponding key on the type-writer at the receiving end, the same as if touched by hand, with the result that the message is reoeived in clear, type-written form immediately it is sent. It is said the invention has been successfully tested between points qnite a distance apart in this state and that it operates perfectly. Young Burlingame is now in San Francisco where capitalists who are interested in f)is invention have made him a big offer for the same if he demonstrates that it will do what he claims for it.
