CALL BOXES.
America has established a system of telegraphing from call boxes, available to the public, as we use telephone kiosks. By pushing a button and placing a telegraph form in a slot a telegram can be sent to any part of the world. The form placed in a machine wraps itself round a cylinder, which revolves before a photo cell. The message is flashed to the nearest main teleIgraph office. An illuminated panel tells I the sender what to pay and to "deposit ■message."
