What Makes the Wires Hum!

Most boys believe that the humming
sound made by the telegraph wires is
caused by the messages hurrying along
to their destination; and most men be-
lieve. that the sound is caused by the vi
bration of the wire in the wind. A
writer in an Australian newspaper, how
ever, calls attention to the fact that one
who will give close observation to both
the wire and the sounds will find that
the latter make themselves obvious like
wise when there is a total absence of
wind; and in a quiet morning in winter,
when the wires appear to be covered
with frost to the thickness of finger,
they nevertheless carry on lively vibra-
tons and singing, while the air is total
ly quiet. According to this writer,
therefore, the vibrations are due, not
to the wind, but to changes of atmos-
pheric temperature, and especially
through the action Of cold, as lower
ing of temperature induces shorten
ing of the wires extending over the
whole length of the conductor. A con-
siderable amount of friction is produced
on the supporting bells, thus induc-
ing sound, both Ia the wires and the
poles.

able structure are learned The ma
ker's design was that it should be IAN
embodiment of the great events Of our
National history" To begin with, he
has supported it by "a ponderous pair
of eagle claws, dra ped aud banded by
the thirteen stars of the thirteen original
states" 1t is five feet wide and ten
feet high, and the two sides have repre-
sensations of the two greatest events in
American history-the war Of indepen-
dence and the war for the union In
dependence hall is there, with the old
cracked bell within the belfry and an
old man ready to ring it. The Goddess
Of Liberty strikes the hour, and the
Goddess Of Justice balances the scales in
favor of industry. In the centre of an
A1olian harp is a model of the famous
Strasburg clock only four inches by
twelve IN size. For the grand Apostolic
pageant the figures have been made
after Leonardo's painting. All the al
legorical figures are made of ivory ex-
cept the one of Satan, which is very
properly made Of ebony, and has garnet
eyes. Historic scenes are enacted on q
stage. At the first quarter hour loco
mOtiVe appears, as the emblem OF our
first progress in industry. At the Sec
ond, the bell is tolled in Independence
hall, and Washington walks majetically
across the scene. At the third the
Apostles bow to the figure of Christ,
Peter denies the Lord and the cock
crows. A skeleton hastens along, bear
ing green scarf on his shoulders, with
the words 'Time flies" and an infant
emerges from an opening door with a
rattle-box in it's hand. Just before the
full hour arrives, a phonograph makes
music to herald its coming. At mid
day emancipation is acted. Lincoln,
proclamation in hand, moves toward a
slave bound to an auction-block, while
the slave turns to look upon his deliver
er, his shackles fall, and his hands are
raised as in a prayer of thanksgiving.

In Regard to Servants Wages.
st. Louis Times.

Before the war the wages Of women
servants ranged from S. to 81 PEI month,
according to the ability and the nature
of the service required. For chamber
maid, waitress or nurse, S. was the Or
binary price; for cook or iaundress, SIS
and 81, the latter being considered high
wages. During the war, especially from
1864 to 1868, the prices of all articles of
clothing were exceptionally high; cali
CO rose to forty cents a yard, and ordin-
airy muslin to sixty and seventy cents,
shoes, etc. being in proportion, and
higher wages were necessary and just
They advanced more than one hundred
per cent, cooks getting frequently $10
per month. and other servants from $l4
to SIG. At the present time every arti-
Gle of clothing suitable for servants use
Is cheaper than ever before, and the
question that comes naturally to house
keepers is: "Why are not wages re-
duced IN proportion?' Sewing women
are cruelty unpaid (of course except
dress-makers), and laboring men with
families get barely enough to procure
the necessaries of life. The income of
all classes of employers is greatly re-
duced, whether derived from salaries or
from invested capital; and yet servants
demand and, from want Of concerted
action on the part of ladies engaging
them, get the same enormous wages as
heretofore. Surely this ought not to be,
as they are provided by their employ
ers with everything but clothing-at
present the least expense of all. To-day
servant can dress comfortably on
twenty-five dollars a year, and yet peo-
Pile whose incomes are IN many cases
reduced to one-half of what they were
formerly, find such excessive wages de-
manded as to sometimes prohibit them
employing of a servant at all.

The executioner-in-chief OF Spain,
Senior Pedro Hernandez, is 45 years old
and resides in palace at Madrid, max
ing only professional excursions to the
provinces. He began his career as an

frequent Kisses of the pit, became ma
tabor in the bull ring and reached GER
tain degree of fame. Failing, however,
one day to give the proper home thrust
to an Infatuated animal, he was tossed

cred he resumed his profession as

skilfully applying the 'gyrrote' he is
said to be uneoualed.

Archbishop PurceII's Statement.

A Cincinnati telegram of March
Goth says: A letter to the public
from Archbishop Purcell was pub
lished this morning. After re-
citing the struggles Of his early life, his
removal to this diocese and the necessi-
ty of going in debt to provide for the
want of the diocese, he dwells on the
present financial troubles; he states
that it can safely be said that not more
than 100000 was money deposited,
and the rest is the result of compound
interest. AS proof he cites ali instance
which occurred yesterday, where a
creditor called with a claim Of 81 LOO.
In presenting it he admitted that $500
of it was interest and expressed his
Willingness to accept $500. the
amount of the original deposit.
The claims of hundreds arc of the
same nature and the Indebtedness of
the diocese, in equity, does not amount
to more than a million dollars to place
it at its highest figure. He says further
that tor twenty years no general collec-
ton has been taken up for the support
Of the Diocesan Seminary, the entire
burden Of educating falling upon the
Archbishop.
He paid the salaries of the profess
ors, fed, clothed and educated semina-
rians: and he also paid the expenses
during the same period of ecclesiasti-
cal students atsMt. st. Mary's, Emmets-
burg, in France, and at Rome. In
twenty years, these expenses, which
IN justice the whole diocese should have
borne. amounted to a vast sum.
While In Europe, he bought a library
of 1000 volumes, with philosophic ap-
paratus, etc., which required a large ex-
penditure, which, together with the sum
spent in building the Orphan Asylum,
Cath edral and other buildings, finally
swamped the Archbishop, who rehears-
ing the situation, declares that but for
the generous sympathy of Catholics and
Protestants alike, he would have sunk
I'm der the weight Of his troubles. He
then appeals to all Catholics and others,
who feel for others woes, to help him
out of his endorsements.
