Teiegraphy without wires.

Professor Loomis, who has
been in the mountainous regions
Of West Virginia for some time
conducting a series Of expert
hents with his proposed aerial
telegraphy, has demonstrated fin
ally that telegraphing without
wires is practical. His manner
of operating consists of run
ming q wire up to a certain alti-
tude reaching a particular cur
rent Of electricity, which, ac-
eordlng to Prof. Loomis, can be
found at various heights. At
any distance away this same cur
rent can be reached by a similar
wire and communication can be
had Immediately. 1t is true
that aerial telegraphy may not
be much OF certainty during
violent storms or electric show
ers, but it will not meet with
more Instructions than that ordl-
nary wire telegraphing, which is
not at al! sure during the periods
spoken of. 1t will be a long
time before aerial telegraphing
can be carried on between places
which are but q short distance
apart if, indeed, it ever will. In
such cases the wires will con-
tinue to be used, though for long
distances, such as for telegraph
ing from one side Of the ocean
to another, the aerial telegraph
viii take it's place entirely. Pro
fessor Loomis has a scheme,
new on foot for a series of ex-
periments frem a point ON one of
the highest peaks in the Alps IN
Switzerland, to u similarly stu
sted place in the Rocky Noun
tains on this side of the worle.
af this succeeds of course his IN
lwention wiz rank in Importance
with that of the electric tele-
j.graph itself, and be even greater
than that Of the telephone. All
I'of the money necessary to carry
on the experiments has already
been promised, and it will not be
many years, If it turns out to be
o success, before ocean cables
will be one Of the lost arts, as
having played its part it will be
laid aside. The cost of aerial
ts slegrapy will not be o.er one
cent where the other is one thous-
and dollars.-[ Washington lette,

NUMBER 9.

mitted that theirs was the root
and the stock, but held that
New England gave the scions
that were grated in.and made
the top Of it. To her people
was due the constitution-the
wisest political instrument
known.
The third period of peril
arose from the fungoid growth
slavery, which was sucking the
life out of the nation. Mr..
Beecher drew a vivid picture of
the evils which flowed from
that detestable system. He
spoke of the vast influence in
the nation of the slaveholding
power and pointed out but for its
own audacity and blindness it
might have cursed the land for
a hundred. years. longer. He
pictured the fears and doubts
that filled patriotic hearts when
the fuss was kindled at Sumpter.
Then, SO far as human Judgment
could see, the chances were in
favor Of Southern success and
supremacy. But a great element
which had not been foreseen or
counted on was the unprecedent-
ed outburst of patriotism on the
part of the people. Mr.. Beech
er said that when the war was
brought to a successful close be
felt as did the traveller who cross
ed deep chasrn on a dark night,
! believing that he was on
bridge, when in the morning he
was shown thesingle stringpieee
on which he had passed. Even
one year before the surrender of
Lee the South might have made
favorable terms which would for
a long time have shackled the
nation. The Southern people
would have surrendered long be-
fore but that they were made
tenacious by their love Of liber-
ty and independence, although it
seemed to us that they we.-aa
fighting for slavery. This was
one of those concentric circles
of events in which the exterior
sphere seems to be of man and
the inner sphere Of God. The
close of the war brought three
eminent perils-the army, recon-
struction and taxation. Mr..
Beecher dwelt upon the almost
miraculous manner in which q
million and a half of men were
disbanded and brought back into
the ways of peace without the
issuing of a proclamation or the
drawing Of sword made neces-
sary.

The French laborer probably gets
more for his wages than any other.
His food is cheaper and more nour-
ishing. His bouillion is the liquid
essence of beef at penny per bowl.
His bread at the restaurants is
thrown in without any charge, and
is the best in the world. His hot
coffee and milk is peddled about the
streets in the morning at q sou per
cup. It is coffee, not slops. His
half bottle of claret is thrown in at
a meal costing twelve cents. For o
few cents he may enjoy an evenings
amusement at one of the many mi
nor theatres, with his coffee free.
Sixpence pays for nicely cushioned
seat at the theater. No gallery gods,
no peanuts, pipe, smoke, drunken
ness, yelling or bowling. The Jar
in des Planters, the vast galleries
and the museums If the Louvre,
Hotel Cluny. palace of the Luxem-
bourg and Versailles are free for
him to enter. Art and science hold
out to him their choicest treasures
at small cost, or no cost at all.
French economy and frugality do
not mean that constant retrenchment
and self-denial which would deprive
life of everything which makes it
worth living for. Economy in
France, more than in any other
country. means a utilization of what
America throws away, but it does
not mean pinching process of re-
ducing life to barren existence of
work and bread and water.

Cirard College.
From the New York Herald.


Under the caption, "The In
terest of New York i'll Girard
College" the Herald nearly q
year ago called the attention OF
the citizens of New York to the
fact that under the Will of Ste
phcn Girard children born in
the metropolis had a preference
in admission next after those
born IN Pennsylvania. 1t ap-
pears that only two New York
boys have thus far had their
names recorded. One of them,
Alexander N. Dreux, was ad-
mitted on Tuesday, and the 9th
er, Richard Hawkins, was noti-
fed to appear, and by a resolu-
tion of the Board passed this
evening he IS virtually admitted
also. One or two letters have
been written from New York
within a day or two to Mr.. Hen
ry W. Arey, secretary, No. 10
South Fifth street, Philadelphia,
asking for the form of applica-
cation, but if boys apply in the
interim from the State Of Penn
sylvania they will take prece-
dence over these inquiries.
White poor, fatherless boys,
between the ages of six and ten,
can alone be admitted in the col
lege under the terms OF the will.
If fifty boys from New York
had been duly registered prior
to the meeting of the Board this
evening they would all have
been admitted, as the new build
ings that will be completed in a
few days will accommodate 800
pupils III addition to the $50 in
the existing buildings. This is
the first time that boys born out
of the State of Pennsylvania
have been admitted into the col
lege, because the applicants
have hitherto exceeded the va
canies. One boy born in New
Orleans was also admitted,
These children are indentured
to the Guardians Of the Poor,
in Philadelphia, until they be-
come eighteen years Of age, and

The country is waiting for some
Congressman Of the proper gifts to

full of the storied deeds of great
nnen who sacrificed everything on
the alter of their country, and as
suredly it is not too much to expect
that, in an age like this, when no sac
rifice is required, but only the e1er-
else of industry, understanding and
clearsighted patriotism, the ques.
tions of the hour may at last receive
proper attention at the hands of
Congress.
