A new invention of a really practical character (says ' Nature') not a mere paulo post f uturum invention, like many wo have heard of lately, has just been made by E. A . Cowper, the well-known mechanical engineer. It is a real telegraphic writing machine. The writer m London moves his pen, and simultaneously at Brighton another pen is moved, as if by a phantom hand, m" precisely similar curves and motions. The writer writes m London, the ink marks m Brighton. We have seen this instrument at woi'k, and its marvels are quite as great as those of the telephone. The pen at the receiving end has all the appearance of being guided by a spirit hand. The apparatus is shortly tojbe made public before the Society of Telegraph. Engineers.
