Four Hours in the Dark.

Ii is a humiliating confession to make
geography is pitiless, and our
national vainglory must bow tn its
decrees-that for four hours in every
twentv-four the entire territory IF the
United States Is deprived of sunshine.
As the sur goes down on u farthest
Aleutian island its morning rays are
just lighting up the hill-tops IF the west
ern coast Of Ireland. and the breadth of
the Atlantic lies between Is and day
light. To our Fenian citizens this may
be another and cogent reason for an
neXing the dear little isle of the harp
and the shamrock; but until it il done
the eNultant cry of the Rocky Mountain
Prcsbvtcpi ian. that the sun never sets on
the United States, must be admitted TO
be a trifie exaggerated. Ii does set
every day. and. paradoxically, four
hours before il rises.
In the depth of our humiliation We
NAV possibly console ourselves with the
reflection that-though our British
cousins can say with truth what We can
not-the vi really shines on the United
States when il is up. We have 10 sub
NIT TO four hours of sunlessness n day:
England is lucky 10 get four hours of sun
shine. So life has its compensations,
and existence in the United States re-
mains endurable, though we do not

so great a spread as we thought. Seen

Feline Electricity.

The most remarkable invention in this
or any other age is duly chronicled in
the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch. II i
based upon the electrical properties Of
the fur of eats. With a battery If l2-
cats the inventor succeeded in general
ing a current so strong that il instantly
polarized all the Neutrality-suspicious. and
demagnetized all the switch-boards on
the way In Omaha. The operators all
along the line were terror-stricken. and
rushed from their offices. Eighteen
hundred and nine glass insulators were
broken and as many poles shattered a.
If by lightning. 4 great deal more
damage would doubtless have resulted
if the copper rod over which the battery
was suspended had not suddenly be-
come red hot and burned the tails of
the cats and let them drop When only
8 moderately strong current of electrici-
" is desired. il is obtained by den>ely
populating the small floor of the cage,
which is made of sheet copper. that BE-
ing the best conductor. The electricity
thus generated charges the copper floor
of the cage, and as il q not pass of 10
the ground through the glass insulators
il seeks its exit over the wires that are
connected by soldering to each end Of
the copper plate. For generating s
powerful current, the cats are carefully
and securely tied tail 20 tail in pairs, and
by the loop thus formed they are sus-
pended from \ heavy insulated copper
rod that passes longitudinally through
the cage, to the ends If which are al
tached the telegraph or telephone lines.

The New Postal Bill.

A w shingtOn correspondent says one
of the principal features of the house
bill for the recIassifcation of mail mats
ter is the provision rsquiIing the pub
fishers of newspapers and periodicals
who desire their publications transmit
ted through the mails at second-olass
rates to submit the same to the post
master at the place of publication, un-
der such regulations as the postmaster
general may prescribe, to be examined
and registered once each year for
such transmission. The fee is to be
one dollar per year for each certificate of
registration, and the privilege thereby
granted may be revoked by the posts
master in ctse the publication shall so
change it's character as 10 bring it no
longer within the requirements of the
bill, which are that such publications
must be published for the dissemination
of informs.i0n Of a public character, and
have lisJ OF paid subscriptions The
bill proposes 20 establish four classes of
mail matter: First, written matter !;
second, registered periodical publica-
tions; third, miscellaneous printed mat
ter; and fourth, merchandise. The
present rates of postage for the first class
remains unchanged. The pound rate
of two cents per pound on secOnd-class
matter is retained, and also extended
to sample copies. The rates for
books, transient newspapers, circulars,
proof sheets, and other miscellaneous
printed matter, and also for manuscript
copy accompanying corrected proof
sheets, j. TO be one cent for each two
ounces, aud the rate for merchant
disc" is fixed at one cent per ounce or
tract on thereof

Stopping the Noise.


The following Associated Press dis
patch was sent from New York. "The
Metropolitan elevated railway is pack
ing it's rails with sand, tar and cotton to
lessen the noise, having psid Mrs. Wal
ton, the inventor, so, 600 for the inven-
ton. She is boarding house keeper in
this city"
Aud hereby depends tale. Mr.. Har-
ry 5. Davis, a native of Oswego, but now
engaged in business in New York, boards
with Mrs. Walton. On a lazy summer
day last season Mrs. Walton asked him
if he didn't want to make 4 speculation,
and proceeded to unfold plan ior dead
ening the noise OF the elevated railroad
She related that when little girl her
fathers house was situated In the same
block with a blacksmith shop, which be-
came so great g nuisanco that upon sp-
plication ot the residents in that locality,
he was ordered to remove his shop. Her
father went to the blacksmith and told
him that he could fix him 30 he needn't /
move. TneTeupon he placed the anvils
IN a box filed with sand and other mste>
riaIs, The blacksmith closed up his doors,
the noise ceased, and 1t WAS couple OF
weeks before the neIghbOIhOOd knew the
smith had not moved out.
She then disclosed to Mr.. Davis plan
for enclosing the gusId rail Of the ele-
waited roads in a bcx filed with sand
tar and cotton. Mr.. DIvis procured a
caveat, showed the invention to the
Metropolitan elevated railroad company,
and they applied 1t 10 q couple Of blocks
OF their track. q short iime later the
company represented that they had pre-
viously discovered the same method, and
1t was found that they had filed csveat
subsequent TO Mr.. Davis. he thereupon
lied a notice Of interference. SuLse-
quentiy an arrangement was reached
whereby the company cOVenauted to
adopt Inc patent, prOteCs 1t from Iitlga~
| tiOn, pay 1000 down, another 81 900
when it should be applied to a mile of
their track, and another when it should
| be applied on the entire line, aud Mrs,
Walton to have half the income from sit
application to other roads. Mr. Davis,
we understand, is entitled to half OF the
moneys derived from the introduction
on the Metropolitan and half of Mrs.
WaIton's interest in the royalty, or a
quarter of the royalty. The invention
| Is said to work like a charm, and will
probably be in demsni tor all elevated
roads. Edison experimental for some
time to devise a way to stop this kind OF
noise and gave up the attempt.

Saving for Old Age.

No one denies that it is wise to make
a provision for old age, but we are not
ali agreed as to the kind of provision it
is hest to lay in. Certainly w shall
want little money, for a destitute old
man is indeed a sorry sight. Yes, save
money, by ail means. But an old man
needs just that particular kind of
strength which young men are most apt
to waste. Many a foolish young fellow
will throw away on a holiday a certain
amount OF nervous energy which he
will never feel the want ol till he is
seventy and then, how much he will
want it, It is curious, but true, that q
bottle Of champagne at twenty may in
tensify the rheumatism of three score.
It Is a fact, that overtaszing the eyes
at fourteen may neCsssitate the aid OF
spectacl,s at forty, instead of eighty.
We advise our young readers TO be sav-
ing of health for their old age, for the
maxim holds good with regard TO health
as to money waste not, want not. It is
great mistake to suppose that any
violation of the laws Of health can es
cape It's penalty. Nature fJrgives no
sin, no error. She lets of the offender
for fifty years sometimes, but she catches
him at last; and inficLs the punishment
just when, just where, Just how he feels
it the most. Save up for old age, but
save more than money; save health, save
honor, save knowledge, save the recol,
| lections OF good deeds snd innocent
| pIsa-Ures; save pure thoughts, save
/ fiends, save love. Save Eich storss oI
! that I;ad g. wealth which tine cannot
dirainizh. nor death tste away.

The Next Census.

The census of 1880 is not attracting
a great deal OF attention, especially as
that census is to be the basis of a re-
apportionment of representatives in the
lower branch of congress. Since the
census of 1870 the population in the
northwest has enormously increased,
while that of the east and south, exeept
Texas, has remained comparatively m
changed, Gen. Walker, superintendent
of the census, is opposed to enumerating
population under the act of 1855. That
law he says in his report to the score
tary of the interior, was passed when
statistical science was in its infancy.
Walker recommends the repeal of that
provision of the law of 1850 which pro-
vides that the enumeration of populs-
tion shall be made by deputy marshals.
He thinks the census-takers should be
appointed on the ground of fitness. He
recommends that the secretary of sthe
interior be authorized to appoint census

Day by day, in this wonderful age,
Is annOunced SONS amazins invention'
Pit to puzzle the brains Of q sage
And far past my poor compre henslon-
You can tsIV, By the telephone-vire,
Gess Ger xitn electric eeieIttyi
To the phonOgrsph they that aspire
May their voices transmit 20 pOstsrity.
In ny youth twas once though ht vain dream
That the streets could be lighted with gas;
To expect locomotion from steam
Was accounted the hope Of an ass.
gufaw, as yesterday, rings
In mine ears from the days long ago
When at what seemed ridiculous things,
Our grandfAtheIB hughed, HO! hOi no
And still have some fear in my mind
That this science viii end in confusion;
That it's marve,s at last we shall ind
To have been bat Old HaIry's illusion.
We shall suddenly wake up some day,
In astoBishmen round US to stare,
20 bnd visions have vanished away
And the good old times stiIl as they were.
Oh, for days on which memsry dweIlp,
When the he'd crows were sweet with musk
roses
What If cesspOo!s were sunk close 10 wtIlE,
And our plgsdes right under our nozes2
From your sewers what go d have you get,
Beyond fever-gsrms and bacteria
Tia they made drain typhoid was not
And we'd no su h disease as diphtheTia.
Now, il NIGHTS 10 be turned into day,
The electric light next will give rise,
Pve no doubt, with it's dazzling display,
To some novel disease of the eyes
'Gainst the new lights stand by the old,
Though their sheen by comparison suifersl
Oh, for your good oli days, dip and mold.
With your tindeI-box, matches and snuReTs!
