The Tuning fork as a Telegraphic In
strument

61 uUOuk.
La Cour has devised very ingenious
use OF the tuning fork for transmitting
signals on the telegraph fines, which
promises to become of great importance
It is based on the well known fact thst
if given fork be made to interrupt an
electric circuit by its vibrations, and
the intermittent current thus produced
be passed through a series of electro
magnets, each in connection with 8 fork
of different rate, only that fork will be
thrown into vibration which is in unison
with the first one. Practically the time
required to do this is the small fraction
of second. The advantages of this
method are numerous. Not only may
many receiving instruments at one sta
ton be operated, each by it's own key,
through single wire, but many differ
emit stations in the same circuit may be
operated, that one alone receiving the
message which has the requisite instru-
ment, Moreover, many signals may in
this way be transmitted over tho same
wires at the same time, and as many
dispatches sent simultaneously to as
many stations. All this may be done,
too, without affecting the line for its Or
binary use, and Independent Of atmos-
pheric and terrestrial currents.

A Strange Story.
From the Court Journal.


Frederick William Bismarck, father
of the Prince, joined the Fourteenth
Hanoverian Light Infantry in 1895 at
the age of Is years. In 1903, on the
outbreak of war with France, he applied
for and got ieutenancy in the Ger
man Legion, then taken into British
pay. With the legion he came to
England, went to New Zealand with
Lord Cathcart in 1906, and in 1907 we
find him CHARTERED at Tullamore, in the
Kings County. With civilians in and
about Tullamore the German officers
were popular, and in at least one family
Bismarck was intimate, SO intimate that
an attachment was spoken of between
him and female member of it. The
feeling of the locality was altogether
different with respect to militia regi-
ment that formed part of the garrison,
and, in fact, between officers and men,
Irish and German, rows were of con-
slant occurrence, hard words constant
~ passing, and one of these wranglings
brought on duel between Bismarck
and q lieutenant in the militia regi emit,
which ended fatally for the lieutenant,
Bismarck shooting him fatally through
the heart. The meeting took place
wi hin the demesne of the city of Charlie
vile Forest, near the town, ia = grassy
glade between Lynally bounds and the
lake, where two saplings (now tall
trees), planted by the direction of the
first Lord Charleville, mark the spot
where Bismarck stood and where the

There is no department on the farm

as no stock of the tarm receives such
poor care as the poultry. Their houses
are allowed to get perfectly filthy, and
the fowls are compelled to live twelve
hours daily in such places. It is
strange to expect them to be sick the
other twelve hours in the day.

How to Prevent the spread Of Rpizootic
and Contagious Diseases Among Cattle.
A correspondent of the London Live
Stock Journal states, that three years
ago two of his cows showed symptoms
of the foot and mouth disease epizootSc
apthol He had his other three COWS
at once removed to another stable. The
next morning one of these was also
found frothing at the mouth, and he
had her returned TO the diseased ones at
the cattle shed. The surgeons WAS call
ed in who pronounced the disease the
ted that it was useless to remove the
we'll ones, as it must run it's course
through the whole lot. But this adj
vice was not followed. The diseas-
ed animals were kept to themselves,
and the others had Jumps of rock salt
kept In their boxes; and two feet from
each cows head small box was con-
structed in which was placed piece of
camphor, and afterwards some disin-
fecting carbolic powder. Carbolic acid
and water was also s ,orinkled in the
shed where the diseased cattle were
kept. The same man attended to both
lots, and the two COWS separated from
the sick ones, and treated as above,
never showed any symptoms of the dis
ease. They were only kept in at night,
being allowed to Craze in the fields dur
ing the day.-National Live Stock

A Famous Elopement.

One May day, between ninety and
one hundred years ago, John, tenth
Earl of Westmoreland, was dining with
Mr.. Child, of that time at Temple Bar.
Child. said his lordship, give me
your opinion in this case. Suppose
you were in love with girl, and had
no hope of getting her fathers consent
to your marrying her, what would you
do z" To which the transporting bank
er replied: edo! why, run away with
her. to be sure" A night or two after
ward Lord Westmoreland eloped with
Miss Sarah Annie Child in postohaise
and four. It is pity, for the sake of
dramatic Ifopriety, if of no other, this
elopmeHt was not from the banking
house in which Lord Westmore-
land had put the home cues
ton. The postohaise took Miss Sarah
Anne on board somewhere near
Berkeley Square House. An alarm was
given by the Waterman, who found the
hall door open. Mr.. Child at once
posted in pursuit, on the North Road,
and managed tc gain on the runaways,
It was not, however, until Nerthumber-
land was reached and enteved that the
second postchaise came within sight of
the first; and then Lord Westmoreland,
standing up in his carriage, shot one Of
the leading horses OF Mr.. Chad's
vehicle, which was capsized Ia conse-
quence. This bold proceeding gave tbs
lovers time to cross the border and get
married by the Gretna Green black
smith. During the short interval be-
tween this match and the death c2 Mr..
Robert Child, he never forgave Lord

In Texas, should, be made outside
ofthe State. Not wagon, q plow, u
throsher or reaper shonld' BIO used
that il made beyond the limits OF
Texas and the same may be said Of
every article Of prime necessity,
provided it can be produced as
cheaply rs the articles that como
from the States and countries. None
will deny that the raw material for
making all the articles named above
is here at our doors in the greatest
abundance. Then, is it not the duty
of Craftsmanship that our iunda'
mental law shall give it in charge
to our future lawmakers to SO leg
isato as to insure these results?
We think no higher duty dcvolvos
upon our present Constitutional
Convention. We want no organic
law for the hour, or one that re-
spends TO the whims or passions OF
the multitude for tho passing mo
mcnt; but one that lays broad and
deep the ground work and basis OF
the future prosperity of our people
We have the undeveloped resources
of vast production, and tho capa-
bllitles of sustaining prospcrously
tho denscst population.
Wise and just laws for the pro-
lection of capital invested in Great
ing cheap lines Of transportation
should be passed. In this regard,
every portion of the State, as near
y us possible, should be placed ON
an equality by the State. It's lcgis-
lation should tond to this result.
For every ten or fifteen thousand
dollars, or more, invested in the
manufacture of articles Of use and
necessity TO tho people of Texas,
there should be an exemption from
taxation on the amount so invested
for n fixed period-say ten years
from the time Of the bona fde begin
ming of such mandatory. AS II
matter of course, every precaution
should be taken that tho spirit and
intention of such laws should be
complied with and not used to
cloak frauds.
We believe it to be sound in poll
cy, wise as measure of political
economy, and worthy of the truest
craftsmanship, that the proposed
Constitution of the State of Texas
should make it obligatory upon the
future Legislatures Of the State to
carry out tho views herein imper
fectIy expressed.

SPECIAL LEGISLATION.

The Galveston News of the nth
copies part of an article under the
above head from THE HERALD, and
agrees with us that the evil is Il sore
one, but thinks that Il registration
foo, to be paid before special laws
have effect, would hardly reach far
enough to compensate tho State for
the time consumed in legislation,
and for printing the bills, laws, etc.
This we concedo, and have brought
this subject forward with the view
to have it considered by the press
and the Convention, with the hope
that u better remedy, if possible,
may be devised. We would observe,
however, that tho registration foe
may be fixed sufficiently high 70 an
swer all practical wants, and yet
not so high as to prevent applica-
tons for necessary Legislation of
this character. We have not the
figures now at hand, but remember
that in looking over the report of
the Auditor of Pennsylvania year
or two ago, we found tho revenue
to the State from this source to
amount to very largo sum-sutli-
cient, as we thought at tho
time, TO pay for all the
time consumed and tho printing
involved in their introduction and
passage. The new Constitution Of
Missouri on this point, we observe,
positively prohibits the Assembly
from passing any special or private
act, whore general law can be
made applicable, and further pro.
vidos that "no local or sp ecial law
DO passed unless notice of the in.
tention to apply therefor shall have
been published in the locality whore
the matter or thing to be affected
may be situated, which notice shall
state the substance of the contem.
plated law, and shall be published
ut least thirty days prior to the in
PRODUCTION into the General Assem-
bly, of such bill, and in the manner
to DO provided by law"
For every toll gate, bridge or
turnpike, for every Incorporated
company ofany character whatever,
tor every personal or individual act,
for every act of local nature COM
ing under the head of a special law
in word, for every species of
legislation not general, this regis
tration fec should be demanded.
Asa matter Of course, the fee should
not DO fixed so as to be oppressive
or to actas q denial of justice to any
class of our people.
AS we state above, we have
brought this subject forward in Or
dor that 1t may be discussed by the
press and Convention SO that the
best method may be adopted to at.
tain the desired end.
