\QQ VERY SIMPLE TELEGRAPH. 



Telegraphic this difference, however, that the figns for a and i are formed 



ligns by th *-"- 

 nian iigure 



igns y t e u. j^^ ^j^^ ^.^j^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^ ^j^^j-^ ^^^ ^ ^^^ ^ ^^ ^j^^ j^^-^ ^^^^ ^j^^ 



two Other vowels, e and m, are likewife indicated by the fame 

 fign, but with the fame difference. 

 ' To form b, both arms defcribe an angle of 45^. To form 

 c and (i, the right arm is kept in the fame pofition, and the 

 left arm is raifed to the height of 90'=' for the firft, and of 135« 

 for the latter. 



To form the letters /, g, and ii, the right arm is extended 

 horizontally, and the three different angles of 45°, 90°, and 

 135^, are formed with the left arm. 



To exprefs j, k or q, and I, the right arm is raifed to the 

 height oT 135°, and the fame positions are repeated with the 

 left arm as were employed for the fix preceding confonants. 



To form m, the upper part of the right arm is placed in a 

 horizontal line, and the form-arm is raifed at the fame time, 

 fo as to form a right angle witii this part. To defignate ??, 

 the left arm is placed in the fame pofition. To form p, both 

 arms defcribe the preceding figure at the fame time. 



Toexprefs the letters r, s, t, the upper part of the right arm 

 is placed in an horizontal line, and aright angle is formed with 

 the fore-arm, while the extended left arm fucceffively de- 

 fcribes the three different angles of 45°, 90°, and 135°. 



For r, X, and c, the fame is done with the left arm as was 

 done, for the three former letters, by the right, which then 

 forms the three angles of 45°, 90°, and 135°. 



If it is intended to flievv that a telegraphic fignal is termi- 

 nated, the two arms are withdrawn, fo as to form but one line 

 with the refi of the body. 



Tlie right arm put at refl, fo that the hand is fupported by 

 the hip, indicates the termination of a word. 



The left hand placed in the fame pofition, is the fign of a 

 comma, {,). 



Tlie two arms put in this pofilion, fignify a point and a 

 comma, (;). 



By putting the right arm into this pofition, and at the fame 

 time making the fign of n with the left hand, two points are 

 indicated, (:). 



By refiing the left arm on the hip, and making the fign of n 

 with the right arm, a point is indicated, (.).
