German, and i'm the face Of this express
sion of public opinion he could not
consent To its being annexed to France.
German officers, too, he added, had
been sent to report upon the stratCgical
advantage which the possession of the
Duchy would give to France, and they
had reported that IL would he n serious
danger to the Rhine Provinces. The
neutral Powers then interfcred, and
the Emperor found il impossible to
carry out this scheme of annexation
Since that time the relations between
Count Bismarck and the Emperor
have been of the coldest character. In
his successive attempts to obtain Il
diplomatic victory over his antagonist
the Emperor has been outwitted He
at length recognised the fact that if
France was to obtain any accession Of
territory on her eastern frontierit must
he won by her soldiers. For tho last
two years he has been diligently pre-
pairing for war; always, however, hop
ing that some new combination might
enable him TO attain his end without
drawing the sword. AS early as Febru-
airy or March last, news of the HOhen-
zollern candidature reached the French
Foreign Office. 1t was determined.
however, 70 affect ignoraAre of it, uu-
til, rs was hoped, the King of Prussia
had so far encouraged it as to make it
almost n point of honor with him to
sustain it. Tho cdsus behi then would
become one arising out of the dynastic
interests of the Pruisian royal family,
and in such a cause Germany would
not act unitcdly, but leave Prussia 90
cope alone with France. Count Bis
marck has, however, been once again
too much for the Emperor. On France
protesting against the scheme, the
Prince of Hohonzollern resigned his
candidature, and rs NJ. Olivier, who,
although Prime Minister, was not in
his masters secrets, said, 1.-THE incident
was at an end.n II was too late, how
ever, to draw back; the martial spirit
of the army had been aroused, and
soldiers and officers clamoured for war.
The majority of the Chamber, which
consists of Imperial nominees, who, if
parliamentary government * to be Il
reality, will never be reelected, caught
ut the idea of great national war,
which, if successful, would re-cstab-
lish personal government. NJ. Bcne-
detti was ordered to make fresh de-
mands upon the King Of Prussia ;
Baron y Scrther, the Prussian Ambas-
sadGr in Paris, was told that the King
must write letter of apology to the
Emperor; tie Prefet Of Police hired
the scum Of the capital to parade the
streets and shout for war; the Duke
De Gramont denounced Prussia in the
Chambers; and the journals invented
scene in which the King OF Prussia
had grossly iLsultcd Fra.cc in the per-
son OF her Ambassador. Thus the
country, which OF late years has be
come Industrial, and which had hoped
to hold its own against It's neighbours
by the development Of its internal re-
sources, has been hurried into Il Napol-
comic war to the old cry Of "our natur-
ri frontiers"

Cuslcs.
At an entertainment recently given
In London by Mir. Fender, The Chair
man of the British Indian Submarine
Telegraph Company, Sir William
'fhompson's pOn-recordcr" was eN-
hibitcd for the first time in England.
This remarkable instrument writes
down in ordinary inlIcVery iluctuation
of the electric current received ut the
end of IA Submarine cable, and is like
ly TO dssplace everywhere the mirror
galVanomcter, 10y which, hitherto, all
messages through long cables have
been received. The older instrument
shows every change, by the waving
backwards and forwards of IL little spot
of light, leaving no trace of its way
ward motions. 1t Is almost incred-
ihlc to believe that mon should acquire
the skill required to disentangle at the
moment the complex motions of this
littlo spot, distinguishing the effects
Of earth currents, old signals, induc-
ton, and what not from the true sig
nal; even with the greatest skill many
repetitiOns aio required, and some ull-
certainty often hangs on the interprc-
iatiOn Of word. The new instru-
mvnt received and indicates every
thing indicated w Sir William Thomp-
sons earlier invention, and writes IL
indcllbly; this is accomplished with
out any sacrifice in the scnstivcncss
of the instrument. a very fine glass
sipon waves To and fro over running
strip of paper without touching IT, and
from this siphon ink is spirited on
10 the paper by n series of electric
sparks, these sparks being generated
10y peculiar induction machine. This
fine rain of ink leaves trace of the
position of the siphon at every in
stance, in n fine continuous line The
siphon follows faithfully the rise and
fall of the current, and these alterna-
tiOns are arranged SO rs to form an al
phabet, as in the usual simgle-needle
Instruments. The rain OF ink opposes
not the slightest resistance To the free
motion of The siphon. The instrument
has been doing commercial work on
ON tho French Atlantic cable for n
couple of months In the island of 81.
Pierre, and its use on the Indian lines
will be followed 10y increased speed and
accuracy. The wonderful delicacy of
the " "siphou-recoder' Is indicated by
the fact that IL has recorded messages
at ST. Pirre by rival company's line,
although no metallic connection eNis-
ted between the two lines, which no
where approached one another nearer
than quarter of amile. Tapping "A
rival line in war Is n common lnoi-
dent enough, but TO tap IL without
ever going nearer than quarter or "A
