Atlantic 7slegraph-Ho~ Many Words per

which messages can be ttansrritted through the

Most of those acquainted with the first efforts
which were made to send messages through the
entire length of the cable, know that the retard.

very long conductor, exercised O most serious
influence upon the rapidity with which it was
found possible to transmit words through the full

Baptism in Hoops-At Chicago, last week, a
rather amusing scene took place during the bap-
item of young lady by the pastor of the Taber-
nacle. The Union says:
''The minister requested her TO- assume the dress
peculiar TO such OCCASION but she declined to
take off her hooped skirt; the minister told her
of the inconvenience that must result from her
obstinacy' but she persisted. When she c4qme to
descend into the bath, the inflated skirt touched
the wnter and rose up around her like a balloon
Her head was lost TO the congregation, SHE was
swallowed up in the swelling skirt, the minister
tried to force her down into the bath. but she
was kept above the surface by the floating prop
critics Of The crinoline, and was buoyed up so sue
cessfuIy that it not until after much difficult
ty and many forcbe attempts to sutmerge the
lady. the minister succeeded in baptiang the fair
one. Finally it was effected, TO the relief of the
minister and che seriously inclined audience, who
could not.keep from laughing in their pocket
kerchiefs."
