Autographic Telegraphy.

efforts of inventors to produce . copy
ing telegraph by means of which auto
graphic telegraphy might be effected,
and which were in measure success.
full, the London Times describes as fol-
lows the latest invention of the kind:
We have recently been afforded the
opportunity of examining the latest
example Of this class of apparatus at
the General Postoffice, where it has
been submitted to the authorities for
trial. Thisis the invention of NJ. D. Ar
lincourt, of Paris, and its general prin-
ciples are similar to those which gov
ern Bakewell's system. The distin-
gushing feature in D'Arlincourt's app
paratus, however, is the introduction
Of an extremely ingenious sychronous
movement, by means Of which the
speed of travel Of the cylinders is rem
dered uniform, both in the transmitting
and recording machine. The message
to be sent, which may be either in the
ordinary hand or shorthand, is written
with thick, gummy ink upon . strip
Of metallic-faced paper about IL inches
long and p inches deep, which is

Military Strength OF the United
States.

States.
The new edition OF the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA, under the article army has the follow
ing:
The military history of the United States is
as strange as the rise and rapid growth of the
nation. In 1890 the rank agd file of the army,
as fixed by act OF Congress, amounted to 1,2l6
men. and In 1914 an English expedition of only
$500 men was able to seize and burn Washing
ton, the capital of country which even then
numbered 100000 Inhabitants. In 1861, at the
commencement of the war of the secession, the

out IS. 900 volunteers for three months to de-
fend the capital, which was threatened and 10
May further call for ii, 600 was made In
July two calls for 500, 600 each were authorized
by Congress, and as even this vast force proved
insufficient for the gigantic struggle which
America had now embarked in, it was found
october, 1862 levy Of 300, 900 men was ordered,
and In February, 1854 a further call of 100000
was made. Finally, in the beginning Of 1865
Two further leVieS, amounting to all to 500, 900
men. were ordered, but were only partially
carried out, In consequence Of the cessation OF
bostilities. The total number OF men called
under arms by the government of the United
amounted to 2, 1853, 049, of whom 2,653,053 were
actually embodied in the armies. II to these be
added the 900 men embodied by the
southern states during the same time, the total
armed forces reach the enormous amount of
nearly 100000, drawn from population of
only $1,000, Oe0-tigures before which the cele-
brated uprising OF the French nation in 1793 or
the recent efforts of France and Germany in the
war OF 1S70-'71 sink into insign1fcance. And
within three years the whole of those vast
forces were peacefully disbanded, and the army
had shrunk to normal strength OF only 80 900.

ONE OF THE HIGHEST COMPLIMENTS which
could be paid to the newspaper press was that
OF the Rev DR.. SAMSON, OF Harlem, uttered a
few day 8 since in the Baptist Ministers con-
ference. He gave 1t as his matured and delibe-
rate opinion that "there is not secular paper
In this city or country that Is not ready at any
time to correct report If the editor can be
satisfied that such report is unfair or false"
There may be journals which are an exception
to the rule, but If there be they are not likely
to do any body much harm. A character for
persistent Misrepresentation renders them
comI aratively innoXiOuS. What q newspaper
Leeds, II its conductors wish to be even hnan-
cially successful, is reputation for speaking
the truth. Mistakes will be made, but they
cause at least as much annoyance to the aver

made. The conference showed its apprecia-

FogR HOURS IN THE DARK.-It Is a humIlIa
ting confession to make-but geography Is pitt
less and our national vain-glory must bow to
decree-tbat for four hours 10 "a the entire ter
ritoIy of the United States is deprived Of sun
shine. AS the sun goes down on our fartheSJ
Aleut1an island It's morning rays are just light
ing up the htlltops OF the western coast Of Ire
land, and the whole breadth of the Atlantic lies
between us and daylight. To our Fenian c1t1-
zens this may be another and cogent reason for
annexing the dear little isle OF the harp and
the shamrock; but until 1t is done the exultant
cry OF tbs Rocky Mountain Presbyterian, that
the sun never sets on the United States must
be little exaggerated. 1t does set every day,
and paradoxtcally, four hours before it rises.
In the depth Of our humiliation we may posi-
bly, console ourselves with the reflection that
the sun really shines on the United States when
it is up. We have to submit to four hours of
sunlessness day; England is lucky to get four
hours OF sunshine. SO life has its compensation,
and existence in the United States remains
endurable, though we do not-geographlcally

PERU mes by the Gallon.

Some idea OF the magnitude of the business
OF raising sweet scented flowers for their per-
fume alone may be gathered from the fact that
Europe and British India alone consume about
15O, goo gallons OF handkerchief perfume yearly;
that the English revenue from French Gu de
cologne OF itself Is $4,000 annually, and the
total revenue of England from other imported
perfumes is estimated at 5000 600 each year,
There Is one great perfume d1Sttllery at Can
Des, In France, which uses yearly about 900
pounds OF acacia flowers, 900 pounds of rare
flower leaves, $4,000 pounds of Jasmine BIOS
som, together with an immense quantity of
other materials used for perfume. Victoria, in
New South Wales, is a noted place for the pro-
duction Of perfume-yieldiHg plants, because
such plants as the mignOnette, sweet verbena,
jasmine rose, lavender, acacia, heliOtrOpe, rose
mary, a1lhower laurel, orange and the sweet
s.ehted gelan1ums are said to grow there IN
greater perfection than in any part OF the world.
South Australia, it is believed, would also be a
good place for the growing OF these perfume
producing plants, though they are not yet cul-
tivated there to much extent The value of
perfumes to countries adapted to their produc-
ton may be gathered from the following eSti-
mate OF their growth and value per acre, as
given in the London (English) Journal of Hort;-
culture: An acre of Jasmine plants, SIS 900 In
number, will produce 5000 pounds of flowers,
valued at 81 25O; an acre OF rose trees, TO- 900 In
number, will yield 1000 pounds Of flowers
worth 1915; 800 orange trees, growing on and
acre, will yield, at ten years OF age 900 pounds
OF flowers, valued at $3.50; an acre Of violetS
producing 16, 900 pounds of flowers, is worth $780,
an acre OF casSia trees OF about 800 will, at three
years Of age, yield 900 pounds OF flowers, worth
$3.50; an acre OF geranium plants will yield
something over 1900 ounces distilled altar,
worth s4,Gno; an acre Of lavender, giving over
5000 pounds of flowers for dIsttilaJfon will yield
value OF 81 ,500.-[ Stciss Times.
