TELEPRINTER IN ACTION AT LOCAL EXCHANGE
Dial the number you want On your ordinary telephone, switch on the teleprmter, and let your typist do the rest.
IL aounds highly fantastic-that a messagu typed on a telephone circuit at one end of the city should be faithfully reproduced in another office at the other end-but a re presentative of the Press attend a demonstration at the office of the Hongkong Telophone Company yesterday, and saw it done.
WAB
Everything seemed so simple. Á smiling typist sat down at an in- strument resembling an ordinary typewriter, and with a standard keyboard. The teleprinter
resistance connected through a equantling a four mile circuit to an- other teleprinter, an exact duplicato of the Arst. As an official of the the Telephone Company dictated, girl's fingers twinkled over the key- board, and an exact facsimile of her work appeared simultaneously on both typewriters. As the carrier came to the end of the margin, ahe pressed a key, and both carriers flashed back to zero again.
It seemed all so uncanny. Ono could visualise the second type- writer on a desk in an office miles away. With robot like precision it clicks into action at the call from a far-away duplicate, automatically prints its message, and shuts down three-quarters of a minute after the completion of the circuit.
Communication by teleprinter may be carried on over any circuit which will provide commercial tele- phonic communication. No 'changes of any kind are required in the exchange circuits, equipment - or line, since the small mount additional equipment required is located at the subscriber's station.
of
Like Ordinary Machine. The teleprinter is fitted with a keyboard similar to tr ol an which ordinary typewriter, upon the desired mussage is originated. Messages thus sent are received at the distant end of the circuit by a similar instrument and appear im- mediately in printed characters either upora tape or in page form. The teleprinter amy be aptly dys- cribed as an instrument which du- livers telegraphy tron the need for specially trained operators and places it within the scope of the ordinary typiat.
The instrumais are British throughout, and are manufactured by Creed and Company Ltd., Croydon, England, who are repre- sented locally by the China Electric Company.

"FORESTS OF GOLD"
THE
timber resources of the world are falling.
Ballons of trees are unnually felled without others being planted to replace them,
Within 25 years a timber famihe, together with a corresponding increase in prices, is Inevitable.
New Zealand Perpetual Forests, Ltd., are pursuing a policy of afforestation which will give their bondholders a unique position in the realm of timber producera within a decade.
By purchasing one £30 bond (by instalments) you become entitled to one acre of finest plne land in the world, planted with 680 trees.
The value of this bond will be, at a con- servative estimate, approximately £250 in twelve years, at which time the wood is suitable for pulping: or, if the timber la allowed to attain maturity, at the end of twenty years. the bond will be worth approximately £500.
Eighty-five thousand people representing £3,500,000 capital have already taken advant- inge of this offer.
