EARLY PRESENTIMENTS OF TUP
ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.
Fromlhe landon Spectator.
One of the most extraordinary facta in the
whole history of tbe cinces and arta, ia the
Strong presentiment which existed for a cen
tury or more at the revival of learning that
magnetism would be used to convey intelli
gence without regard to time or space. Just
as there ia now a kind of presentiment that
electricity will supersede steam, or just as it
waa long thought that a philosopher's stone
would one day be discovered to turn all
tilings to gold, or an elixir of life to banish
old ago, so the magio girdle which connects
land and land beneath the waves of the ocean
waa not unknown to the sclentilio dreamers of
ine isuoouian age.
Fifly wild things, indeod, are anticipated
for the one thing which turns out true. The

cited the hopes of unfortunate ceniua for
. 1 1 . i i ., V. .
icutuiina uucn; uuv now uiese things are
acKnowiedgcd to be illusory and impossible.
And yet that which might have seemed most
illusory and impossible is au accomplished
fact.
In Mi very interesting account of the gradual
triumph of the electric telegraph, Mr. Dodd
has referred to this strange presentiment, and
has given a quotation of the passage iu the
Trolusiones" of Strada, published in 1G17,
Which describes in the most exact manner the
working 0f the telegraph in 18G7. Let a per
son who has used the latest form of Mr. Wheat
stone's household letter telegraph try to de
scribe the procedure, and we think he could
not describe it better than in the following
words:
"It jou wish your distant friend, to whOTi no
letter can come, to learn something, take a
dipk (or dial), and write around the edee of it
Itao letters ot tbe alphabet, in the order in
which children Jearn them, and in the centre
place horizontally a rod which has touched a
magnet, so that it may move and indicate what
ever letter jou wish."
A similar d'al being in the possession of
your friend :
"If jou desire privately to speak to the friend
whom some snare ot the eartli holds tar from
you, lay jour hand on the globe, and turn toe
movable iron as you see disposed alons- the
margin of all tbe letters which are required tor
the words. Hither and tbither, turn the style
and touch tbe letters, now ttm one. and now
that. Wonderful to relate, the far dis
tant friend sees the voluble iron tremble with
out the touch ot any person, and run now
hither, now thither; conscious, he bends over it,
and marks the teaching of the rod. When he
le . le rod staud still, he, in his turn, if he
thinks there is anything to be answered, in like
manner, bv touching the various lettsrs, writes
it back to his friend."
No wonder that Strada, as he finishes this
description, should break forth into the
prayer:
"O utlii am brec ratio scrlbendl prodeatusu!
Caullor el ottlor propararet epls'ola, nullns
Lalronum verlta lusldias, fluvlosque niorantes."
"O would that this method of writing
might be brought into use I More safely and
swiftly would the letter be speeded, fearing
neither the snares oi robbers, nor the delaying
rivers." 6
Mr. Dodd suetrests that in this wnmWfnl
description Strada was merelv erivinE- nl.iv to
his imagination. In the midst of Strada's
classical tnlles, it was doubtless a mere play
of the imagination. When Addison, in the
Spectator (No. 241), alludes to Strada's descrip
tion, he speaks of it as "an account of a
chimerical correspondence between two friends
ty the help of a certain loadstone":
"If MftyiRlPlir SfMirll'l-V " ha PAnflnnaa ni.w
-- ... u w uu. ' J 1 i-SU U4i, V 1 dDJ
other wriier of rouiaDce,l.nd introduced a uecro-
iuaocer.wno lsgeueraliv.in tbe train ot aknight
errrnt, making a Tre-,ent to two lovers of a
counle bf these above mentioned needles, the
reader would not have been a little pleased to
have teen them corresponding with ono another
when they were guarded by spies and watches,
or eepHratea Dy cae.ies and adventures, in the
meanwhile, if ever this invention should be
revived or put in practice, 1 would propose that
spon the lovers' dial plate there thould be writ
ten not only the tour-ana-twenty letters, out
teveral entire words, which have always a place
in passionate epistles."
But though in the hands of poets and lite
rary men this notion or a space-destroying
telegraph was a fanciful chimera, among the
scientmo men of the day it was gravely dis
cussed or mysteriously hinted at. t torn about
the middle of the sixteenth, to the end of the
seventeenth century it is alluded to in most
I works on magnetism, and many other books
of science. The Marquis ot Worcester was a
diligent collector of all the ingenious notions
of his age, and he probably alludes to magne
tism when he speaks or " intelligence at a dis
tance communicative, and not limited to dis
tance, nor by it the time prolonged.', Drich's
Life of Worcester, p. 357.
Sir Thomas Browne, in his "Pseudodoxia
Epidemics, " says of a supposed magnetic tele
graph that "the conceit is excellent, and it the
efl'ect would follow, somewhat divine." lie
speaks of it as a conceit "whispered thorow
tne world with some attention, credulous and
vulgar auditors readily believing it, and more
odicions and distinctive heads not altogether
electing it." But it would appear that, like a
rue fellow-countryman of Bacon, old Sir
Thomas submitted the thing to the test of ex
periment, and though the needles were at the
instance of but half a span, when one waa
noved "the other would stand like Hercules'
pillars." He also raises several objections to
khis supposed telegraph, such as that the
i needles would move contrary ways, ana me
difference of longitude would prevent two per
sons from watching their telegraph needles
exactly at the same moment.
Joseph Glanvill, in hia "Scepsis Scientifica"
I1CG5 l devotes a chapter to considering three

nd an abecedarian circle, lie mentions ana
ontroverta the objections of bir I nomas
itowne, suggesting that "there are some
jiiits in natural operations mat give us
robability that it is feasible." And it ia
ith a strange feeling of wonder that we find
writer two hundred years ago concluding in
hese words: "Though this pretty oontri--aiioe

lie fpredictions of men are not often so cau-
oubly stated or so completely lumaou,
e can afford to overlook a sentence such as
ie above.

e can find, or if he does, he dismisses it,
move other fancies, as unworthy of his great
'cause, "Da oiagneie. mu
m time (1G29) Nicholas Cabeus, the Jesuit
Ferrara, wrote his "riiilosophioa Mag
rtica." "It is a fable," he says, "that two
en can converse with each other between the
!Oxt rmnta and separate places, by the aid of
ho revolving needles," and he considers that

with such portentous fables deter men from
the study of true causes. Suoh an effect he
says cannot be produced by magnets, and he
proves tho fanry to be an error, "lest any one
should be deluded by a vain hope." Vague
and erroneous though the notions of a tele
graph then were, they were truer than the
refutation of Cabeus, grounded on the false
principle that "every physical agent deter
mines lor itFelf a certain sphere of activity,
beyond which it cannot have any influence."
But the intereHting question remains, to
whom is due the first suggestion that intelli
gence may be conveyed by magnetism or elec
tricity f Strada attributed it to the celebrated
Cardinal Bembo, the Secretary of Leo X. But
Bembo, who died in 1547, was a historian and
literary character, and would hardly be likely
to form so new a conception of a purely scien
tific kind.
Tho earliest work in which we have been
able to trace the description of the supposed
telegraph is the celebrated "Natural Magio"
of the Neapolitan Baptista Porta, published in
the year This work is a collection of all
that was most wonderful in the sciences, then
aroused from a long sleep in Italy. His seventh
book is on the "Wonders of the Magnet." In
the preface ho enumerates these wonders, such
as the mariner's compass, the porpetual
motion, and the sympathetic needles. "I do
not fear," he says, "that with a long absent
fi iend, even though he be confined by prison
walls, we can communicate what we wish
by means of two compass needles circum
scribed by the alphabet." A few liuea before
we find him mentioning with great respect
Marco Polo, the source of some of his informa
tion. But in the eighteenth chapter of the
same book we get more, probably, to the
origin of the notions in question. The fact that
if a mngnet be placed beneath a table it will
affect magnetic needle above the table, in
spite of the intervening matter, is mentioned
by Porta with much wonder. This is the ex
periment which seems to have suggested the
power of two magnetic needles to act upon
each other at a distance, even though prison
walls intervened. And, strange to say, this
experiment may be traced back to the great
St. Augustine. "Novit hoo experimentum
Divus Augustinns," says Porta, and an exact
description will accordingly be found in Au
gustine's treatise, "De Civitate Dei," a work
believed to have been begun A. D. 413.
It is the fashion in these days to fall into
raptures of wonder and exultation over the
magnetio telegraph, but it is not we who have
first wondered. Pliny counted the loadstone
as the most wonderful thing in nature.
"Quid eniin tnirabiliust" he asks. "Iron ia the
strongest thing in nature, and yet before the
magnet it becomes docile." He reflects :
"Cedit, el palitur mores." All ages, then,
have shared in the intelligent wonder excited
by the powers of magnetism. It is only the
riper inspections of this age that have carried
out to the letter the anticipations of former
ages. Ihe telegraph of the present time
tends to assume exclusively the form most
nearly analogous to the conceptions of
Porta. The earliest attempts at electric
telegraph, as Mr. Dodd well relates, were made
with frictional electricity, which ia not appli
cable to the purpose. Then galvanism was
studied, and the conducting powers of metallic
wire became understood. Now, the most im
proved telegraphs consist essentially of a
magnet moved in front of one end of a wire,
and a magnetio needle which is thereby made
to move in iront or the other end of the wire.
And though a wire is quite indispensable to
conduct magnetic influence in one direction, it
is a fact that the return current passes back
without a wire, through land and sea, stayed
neither by wall nor mountain, as Porta ima
gined to himself.
The time is rapidly approaching when
Ariel's girdle will be completed, and signals
be transmitted round the world in a moment.
It is idle, perhaps, to suggest that Shake
8jearo may have had some thought of magnetic
communication when he conceived that fan
tastical idea. Certain it is, however, that the
conceit of a space-destroying telegraph was
"whispered thorow the world with some at
tention" in his ago, and we have thought this
to be a fact worthy of being a little better
known.

MAKE A NOTE O F."
FACT I.-MLLTE'S chilled-iron bafks
have been largely Introduced fur ihe last twelve
years, and sold to ihose havlnir the laixmt amount ol
valusbles, as the best and mosi ihuroiiKbly JlurKlar
I'roof t-ale: and, np lo lheU.it three years, It has been
as rare In hear ol one ot Lilly's fatee having been
rubbed by hurUrs. as to see or near ot a white
blackbird or a while elephant.
Fact II. It la notorious that the profession of the
bui-alar has advanced at a ranld pace within the last
clpbt years, and what was thoroughly burglar-pruuf
tin n Is not so now, which account for the lact that
wllhln the lest, three years very few of I.lllie's
Bales have been robbed, and the secret anonymous
circulars distributed by other sale-makers lat
terly, showing a wry frw ensea ontv, Is ibeatromrcet
evidence that b t a very small number bav been
robbed to this time, notwithstanding the large num
ber lu use, and the amount at stake II successlul.
Fact III. Thpre are two, and only two, general
and ieadiiiK Muddles upon which all burglar-proof
sale are consn ut ted. 'lbe one la pouring liquid
Iron bel een and uround bars of wrought Iren, hard
em d streel, or any proper combination of meials.
This principle Is adpttd by l.lilie, In the Chilled
Iron Safe, and covered and controlled by his letters
patent.
7he othrr Is made np of layers of plates, ofdirierent
metals, held together by bolls or rivets, or boih. To
this principle Ihere are various objections' The
cost Is double. The wrought Irou plates, which are
the strength of Hie sale, are outside, and are operated
upon by the whole catalogue oi burglars' tools. The
bolls or rivets are easily forced by suitable tofils
with or without powder, and cannot be sustained'
7hn formrr jnincipU; adopted by Little, avoids all
these olvjecuons, can be made any thickness, and
withstand any amount of resistance required; avoids
the rivels, bolls, etc: lias no wrought iron outside lo
be operated upon by burglars' Implements.
Fact IV. Mr. Llllie, the Pat cc tee. so soon as he
learned Ibat It was possible wittt the modern Im
proved tools lor burglars to grind through chilled
Iron or hardened stet 1, began experimenting to avoid
the dltllculiy, and alter much labor and expense he
has perfected system lor chilling Iron and couibiu
Ing metals that is entirely prool against the burglar's

some new system shall be developed In tbe working
ot Iron, which would now seem hardly possible.
Fact Vii. It Is true that the Sheet-Iron or common
Baie, as now made, nnder ordinary circumstances
(and wln not crushed by the lull ot walls or timbers)
usually Saves ihe written matter, but If the fire Is se
vere it has to be copied, lor the ink will soon fade ouf
besides, the sale Is twisted up and useless.
It Is equally true that the Chilled-Iron Bate saves
the written matter lu a perfect state, that It does not
lade out or require copying, and that the sale itself
Is ready for further use. Any number ot trials in
fires, certified lo, prove these facts, and If any of the
safe enders who are distributing secret, anonymous
circulars to injure Ihe reputation of LLLLIE'd SAFK.
aie not Ha tin lied with these statements, they can have
the opportunity ol testing by lire one of their owu
bares with LILLlE'b, on equal terms, whenever
they so decide.
Fact VIII. In answer to the story circulated by
Interested parties, that Lillle's bale had gone up, and
had ruined Ldlie, etc., 1 would suy that at no lime lu
the last two years could I.illie k bou half supply the
demand toi bales, and were under the necessity ut
forming a large slock company, with a very large
capital, to meet ihe demand; and Air. Lewis Lillle, br.,
is now the president ol thai company, which is iocuted
on the Delaware, in Pennsylvania, near Kastou, and
is the largest bale Works probably In existence, and
will be able to supply all demands for bales, Locks.
Chilled-Iron VauHs, etc.
In conclusion, I beg to call the attention of my
patrons and friends, and the public, lo Ihe fiicta here
presenteu, and to say that I am very thanklul lor
past lavors, and that I am prepared to furnish LIL
LlK'b JJliKULAKAND FIKK AND 1ICRULAK
PitOOF bAFlib, VAULT DXit8, CHILLrJU IKON
VAULTS and COMU1JN AT1NN LUCK b, all at short
notice, warranted to be the best and cIihhum in
market. I also keep constantly a large assortment
of second-hand Fire Prools, taken In exchange for
Lillle's liurular Proofs, ol the best-known makers
all put in good order, and ofiered at below usual uud
