sented below, and the t proportionably shorter. As it is with the pen, some persons will write a very fine and delicate hand, while others, like John Hancock for instance, will write a bold and large hand. We also give the figures of the system, which follow the letters. The punctuations in America are only the period, interrogation, and the indication of a paragraph. Others were recommended, but never practically adopted; and many telegraphers only use the period.

We next give the Austro-Germanic Alphabet for the Morse system, which is in service nearly all over Europe where the Latin letter is used-embracing all Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, England, Italian States, and wherever the French, German, and English languages are read :—

AUSTRO-GERMANIC MORSE ALPHABET.

PUNCTUATION.

We next append the Russian-Morse Alphabet, arranged for the lesser alphabet in that language, being six less than the full Russian. The figures and punctuations are the same as the German. Messages can be sent in either Russian, German, or French languages, with equal facility. Some of the letters in the Germanic and Russian formations are the same as those in the American, especially letters of equivalent sounds. We have had them engraved for the purpose of general information, and we trust we shall not fail in accomplishing the object.

We would add, further, that the letters, as engraved, are much larger than those made by the machine. The pen-point of the Morse instruments in Europe are precisely the same as those in America. The registers, magnets, and keys are generally very much the same in form; and those made by Messrs. Leiman & Halskie, of Berlin, Prussia, are equal, if not superior, to any others made in the world. They are expert mechanics, and hold to the useful.
