When I see a dozen of them together
whether in the country or in town, in a

rudeness to each other. They will
scarcely answer a question in a civil
manner. They walk into a coffee-room
of a hotel, where ladies are present,
with their hats on, and shout out for
and to the waiter in their loudest and
most commanding tones. They stand
all across a doorway, and will not make
room for any body to pass, and if you
enter a railroad carriage where a few
of them are, they glare at you in a
manner which speedily convinces you
that you have no right there, and have
been guilty of FL understandable intru-

i Balloon Adventure.

ID. S. Thomas, an aerOnaut, who made

story of his adventures during the trip:
"About 5 o'clock in the evening, after
laboring for several miles to make a
landing and save my balloon, | was

the timber with the hope of making a

material, the balloon only rebound

timber at a great rate of speed. Some

fact that | travelled the last so miles OF

Love by Telegraph.

There seems to be a very intimate re-
~lationship between love and electricity.
Communications are continually pass
ing between the eyes Of lovers by cleo
trio flashes. If, then, we are asked,
''Can love be made by telegraph" we
should reply, "Certainly," even If we
never knew of an instance in which it
was done. There are, however, many
stories current of the marriages that
have taken place between telegraphists,
the courtship having been carried on
through the medium of the wires.
Chambers Journal gives US a case, related
by MIR. Scudamore, in, which the parties
were certainly far enough apart to be-
gin with. At one time a male operator
occupied the seat at end of the wire
between Berlin and London, a female
the seat at the other end. In the inter.
walls of dispatches, they chatted to.
gether by the aid of the wire, and II
this way became acquainted with each
others habits and character. Their
came the natural curiosity to know eacf
others looks. Here photography came
to the aid of telegraphy. Photographs
were exchanged with mutual satisfac
ton, and in due time the happy pail
became man and wife. 1t is said tina
people can learn more about those witt
whom they are in the habit of exchang
ing kilograms than would naturally bt
supposed. Experts can even tell thu
handwriting of the operator at the othel
end of the line.
A new and remarkable invention is
however, now announced, which ONT
would imagine viii altogether super
cede ordinary ~telegraphy, at least il
love-making. The tones of the voice
can now be conveyed on wires to a grea
distance, and parties can witt
each other in perfect assurance of iden
tity. At one end of the line is a trum
pet-shaped instrument, provided wit
a thin diaphragm of gold-beater's skin
close to which revolves a small hell
connected with an electric current an
Induction coil. - The moment a SCUM,
is made, the vibration of the diaphragm
causes the helix to revolye, and this i
turn repeats the notes not only at hand
but by the electric current at a distance
Rich invalids might now hear sermons
lectures or, concerts, without leavin
their rooms, and lovers talk nonsense
