Telautograph promised by Elisha Gray at the Denison

In Omaha news notes Professor Elisha Gray of Chicago demonstrates a telautograph that transmits handwriting over wire. The device records pen movements on ordinary paper at a distance, enabling checks and drafts to be sent in the writer’s handwriting. It is compact, secure, and touted for mercantile use ahead of telephonic text. The article also covers advances in teaching deaf mutes speech, detailing a method using mirrors, larynx, and breath control to form vowel sounds and syllables.

The theory suggests lower animals may harbor typhoid germs and pass them to humans via secretions and infected carcasses. Cases claim outbreaks traced to eating meat from diseased animals, including a Zurich area feast where 668 were affected after consuming veal from a sick calf. Some doubt remains whether the illness was true typhoid, as interpreted by the Boston Herald.
