"We took a peep at the diamond-backed dining-room and when I saw the waiters refusing everything but certified checks in the way of a tip, I said to Peaches, 'This is no place for us!

There on his desk was an instrument having a stylus on the end of two arms, connected to a system of magnets. It was a telautograph.
