How a Mans Signature Might be
Sent 1000 Miles.
LFrom tMe PniladelphIa Ledger. !

There is now in operation between the
signal service section of the Centennial
Exhibition and the chief signal office at
Washington, on circuit about one hum
dred and fifty miles long, an instrument
which transmits by telegraph the wealth
er maps OF the signal service, heretofore
produced only in Washington. This in
Vention reprOduces the map entire, with
its lines and figures.
The map or message to be sent is first
written upon ordinary paper with ink,
in winch little glyeerine has been
mixed; then, before the ink is dry, it is
sprinkled with some powdered shellac,
which adheres to the ink. The manu-
script is then passed between rollers
with the face against piece OF hot zinc;
the latter takes up the shellac, and d
negative is produced in shellac, The best
non-conductor of electricity, upon zinc :,
q good conductor.
This plate is then bent around cylin-
der, which is rapidly reyolyed, while a
metallic point connected with the con-
Quoting wire is held to its surface by a
spring, and makes spiral line over the
lace of the cylinder. At the receiving
instrument a similar point traYerses the
surfaces of a similar cylinder, upon
which is placed piece of chemically
prepared paper.
AS the transmitting point comes to the
line of writing the receiving point make 8
dot on the paper by decomposing the
chemically prepared paper, and, as eve y
portion of the writing is touched by the
transmitting point, the result will be a
fac simile OF the original writing Or de-
vice. To produce this result it is neces-
sary, of course, that the two cylinders
should revolye exactly together, as, if one
should go faster than the other, the dis
colored paper would be confused mass
OF dots. In this consists the great now
city OF the invention. Isoohronous mo-
ton OF the cylinders is secured by m ,g-
net at the receiving station, which at
each revolution OF the transmitting cyl
inder acoelerates the motion of the re-
ceiving cylinder il too slow, and retaras
it if too fast. "a sl,,... sra,

should the impending war be actually
inaugurated, and sweep with its DESC
lating tread from the head waters of the
Danube to the Bosphorus, that demandi
for our supplies will be increased in ao-
tivily and prices be still further ad-
yanced. The benefits Of all this will
accrue largely to this country, to the
bettermenr of our finances and to the
solidity of our public credit.
p 1t may not be accounted to US as alto
gether righteous to thus speculate upon
the horrors OF war. And yet If war
must needs be, war which we can
neither make nor prevent, we do not
deem it extremely sinful to avail our
selves Of the commercial advantages
produced by its occurrence. The nation
that feeds other nations that fight need
not fall into panic on the occurrence
OF war. Instead of causing adyersity,
such condition assures the commercial
prosperity of the nation that feeds,
whatever may result TO the nations that
fight. But recently we were the nation
that fought, now we are to be the nation
that feeds. And for this function OF
enrichment we are, fortunately,
most abundantly supplied. Within
two weeks, to the 7th of the present
month, our fertile fields sent to the At
lantic ports nearly ten millions of bush
els of wheat. This is one and hall
millions of bushels more than was ever
before sent forward within the same
time at the corresponding season of the
year.
1t needs nothing but the sober secont
thought of our people to perceive that
financial panic over such state of al
fairs would be as foolish as frenzy
And yet it would be mischievous, not
withstanding its absurdity. But panict
are always attended by absurdities
And nothing could be more absurd THAI
to go into a fright at the sudden opening
OF this door to our financial and com
mercial prosperity.

A COMMITTEE OF the Philadelphia
Board of Trade, after full examination
of the subject. reports that the business
men in that city found the fast mail
trains as lately run to the West OF great
advantage, and asks the re-establish-
ment OF the system. 1t is matter OF
regret, East and West, that these fast
trains were stopped, and such step
backward ought to meet with
nothing but opposition in busl'
ness circles. The argument that
they especially benefited the after
noon papers was a shallow one and alto
gether too small for the people that made

In all the past ages the bodies of the
Masonic dead have beed laid in graves
dug east and west, with their faces
toward the east. The practice has been
borrowed and adopted by others until
il has become nearly universal. 1t i'm
plies that when the final day shall come
and he who is deaths cOnqueror shall
give the signal, His ineffable light shall
first be seen i'm the east; that from the
east he will make his glorious approach ;
will stand at the eastern margin Of
these graves, and with His mighty
power, that grasp irresistibly strong
which shall prevail, will raise the bodies
which are therein. We shall long be
buried, long decayed. Friends, yea
nearest and dearest, will have To re-
member where they laid us. The broad
earth will have undergone wOndrous
changes, mountains be leveled, valleys
filed. The seasons will have chased
each other i'm many fruitful round.
Ocean lashed into fury by the gales to-
day, will tomorrow have sunk like "A
spoiled child to her slumbcr. Broad
trees with broader roots, will have in
terlocked them above our ashes, as If to
conceal the fact of our having lived; !;
and then after centuries of life, they
too, will have followed our examples of
mortality, and long struggling with
decay, at last will have toppled down
their remains with ours, thus Oblitera-
ting the last poor testimony that man
has ever lain here. But the eye of God
nevertheless, will mark the spot, green
with the everlasting verdure of faith,
and when the trumpet's blast shall
shake the hills to their very basis, our
astonished bodies will rise, impelled
upward by an irresistible impulse, and
we shall stand face to face with our Re-
deemer.

A Remini.cence Of secretary stanton

In the third year of the war, when
flags were being placed over churches
in Baltimore, Washington, and i'm many
cities West and South, whose members
were supposed to be disloyal, house
erected by Southern MethOdists in
Washington was dedicated. A minister
of another denomination alone could be
found to accept the service. As he ap-
preached the porch the flag was seen
draped over the door. He deemed it
his duty to maintain the principle of
entire separation of church and state.
Turning to the company assembled, he
stated that duty forbade his officiating
on the OCCASION; and his reasons would
be given to the Secretary of War. Amid
great excitement both of the suspected
church and of army officials present, he
returned home, and addressed note to
the Secretary, stating three reasons for
his pOstpOning the services: first, that
neither the church members nor the
excited crowd were i'm frame of mind
to dedicate sanctuary to God; second,
that there was place to test loyalty,
but that the sanctuary was not the place,
since he who mistOok patriotism for
piety might mistake self-interest for
patriotism; and third, that the suspicion
expressed by the flag was stain on
Christian character, tested for years,
which must be removed before they
could be recognized by a minister of
another denomination. With his char
acteristic vehemence the Secretary ex-
claimed, as the note was read to him
ale Is in the right" The flag was
down before o'clock, and no flag from
that day was allowed to be put over a
church, WdtchmdR and Reflector.

Fever InfeetiOn.

Men of science speak of epidemic
waves, and of scarlet fever being COM
munIcated by the few drops of milk
which you pour into your tea, or cream
diffused in dish of strawberries. On
late occasion, at a fashionable din
ner-party in London, as many as eight
OF ten guests, and seven members of
the household, took scarlet fever. OBJ
viOusly, the infection must have been
caught at the dinner-party but hor
was the puZZliBg matter of inquiry,
for no one in the family of the host
was known to have been affected with
the disorder. Was the disease brought
to the house by q waiterf Was it con-
veyed in the table-linen from the
washerwOmanf Was it somehow IN
cOrpOrated in the cream that had been
used in the desserti An investiga-
tiOn on these and other points, as we
understand. was made, but not with
any satisfactory result. The cream was
thought to be most likely the vehicle
of infection; but how could any one be
certain on the point? The cream en-
don is possibly made up of half dozen
creams from as many dairies and in
quiry ends only in vague conjecture.
Rather a hazardous thing, one would
say, going out to dinner where you
may run the chance of being killed in
a manner so very mysterious. People,
in their innocence, are not aware of
the manner in which contagious dis
eases may be communicated by public
cOnveyances, by articles of dress, by
dwellings. by the very atmosphere.
We have Just heard an instance of the
communication of scarlet fever by
means of "kist,n the name usually
given in Scotland to a servants trunk.
A servant girl in MOrayshire fell all
with scarlet fever. and died. Her kist,
a painted wooden box, containing all
her worldly goods, her later clothing
included, was sent home to her rela-
tiOns, and lay for some weeks at sta
ton on the Speyside Railway before
an opportunity occurred for removing
it by a cart to her mothers cottage
among the hills. During this interval
the statiOn-master's children, in rOmp-
ing abOut, conducted their gambOls on
the kist, which was a repository of
eontagiOn, and in due course were
struck down with scarlet fever. At
length, the fatal kist was conveyed to
its destination, and the contents were
dispersed among friends and neigh
bOrs. The donations were kindly
meant, but they proved fatal. No
precautions had been taken to disin-
feet the articles, the result being that
wherever the clothes of the deceased
girl were taken in, scarlet fever found
its victims. For several months the
fever ragged, until the wave of its in
fectiOn was expended. Now ensued a
remarkable event. The outbreak
proved to be an opposing barrier TO
the spread of a more virulent type of
scarlatina advancing from another
quarter at later period of the year.
On reaching the former scene of the
disease, it was arrested for want of
material to feed upon; a second attack
being very unusuaL-Chamber's Jour
nal.

Have you boy from five TO eight
years old? If so, it is matter of the
greatest importance that you train him
up right. Teach him from the start
that he can't run across the floor,
whoop, chase around the back yard or
use up few nails and boards to make
carts or boats. If you let him chase
around he'll wear out shoes and clothes,
and nails and boards cost money.
Train him to control his appetite.
Give him the smallest piece of pie; the
bone end of the steak; the small potato,
and keep the butter dish out of his
reach. By teaching him to curb his
appetite you can Keep him in good
humor. Boys are always good humOred
when hunger gnaws at their stOmachs.
If he happens to break dish, thrash him
for it.; that will mend the dish and
teach him lesson at the same time.
If you happen to notice that your
boys shoes are wearing out, take down
the rod and give him a peeling. These
shoes were purchased only ten months
ago, and though you have worn out two
pairs of boots during that time, the boy
has no business to be hard on shoes. BY
giving him a sound thrashing you will
prevent the shoes from wearing out.
When you want your boy to go on an
errand yOu should state it, and add:
Snow go as quick as you can, and if
you are gone over five minutes I'll cut
the hide off of your back"
He will recognize the necessity of
haste and will hurry up. You could
not do the errand yourself inside of
fifteen minutes, but he is not to know
that. If you want him to pile wood,
the way to address him is thusly:
"Now, see here, Harry, want every
stick of that wood piled up before noon.
