A vista for the extension of com-

nouncement of the invention of a new

The dew alphabet, hailed as the
greatest advance In the sclence of
communication In many years, is 2.65
times faster than the international
Morse code now universally used, It

which was invented eighty years ago.
The Morse code, General Squier said,
is entirely out of date and unsuited to
telegraphy as known and practiced to
day.
The principle upon which the new al-
phabet Is based is that the dots and
occupy equal lengths of time
and no consecutive signals are of the
sume sign, and the tinift of legibility
for each letter of the alphabet Is prac-
tically
