Xm. ] ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. 113 CHAPTER XIII. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. IN strolling down Lothbury, in the City of London, the stranger suddenly sees, opposite to the dull dead wall of the Bank of Eng- land and pointing down an alley, the forefinger of a little black hand, under which are written the following words : " To THE... CENTRAL TELEGRAPH STATION. '' and accordingly, at the bottom of the small cul-de-sac there it stands, appropriately designated by its " Electric Clock. " On entering the door of this establishment the visitor sud- denly finds himself in a very handsome reception-hall, 53 feet long, 32 broad, and 45 feet high, illuminated from above by a skylight, which also gives light to three galleries, one above another, communicating with the various departments of the establishment. Across this reception- hall, on the left of which are the secre- tary's and accountant's offices, there is at each side a long counter or table, that on the right being divided by green curtains into six desks, at which are to be seen the round, stout, slight, slim backs of persons of all shapes, and occasionally of both sexes, intently occupied in writing unseen by each other the im- portant communications they are severally desirous to despatch.
