Talking Three Hundred and fifty
Miles.

| Buffalo has had the honor of telephone
connunicaTi II with the Bell Exchang,
at Paterson, n. j. The distance be,
series Of experiments made werc con-
ducted by Mr. j. +. Noonan, Paterson
Manager Metropolitan Telephone and
Telegraph Company, who claims to have
discovered method of adjusting bat
teries so as to produce good results in
communicating over long distances.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany lent a No. i gauge wire running
between the two cities. Connection was
made with the central office in the Buff
talo exchange, where telegraphic COM
mnnication could be obtained. AL
though the results of the test were not
wholly satisfactory to Mr.. Noonan,
enough has been accomplished to show
the value of his discoveries, and to in
sure the possibility of long distance
tclephoning. Listeners in the Buffalo
Exchange could distinctly hear Mr..
Noonan 5 90, Buffalo, and songs
sung at Paterson were recognized. Iu
talking the voice could be plainly
heard, but the words could not be dis
tinguishei amid the heavy sputtering
and swapping noises of the wirc caused
by the heavy battery and by " iniuc-
ton from the Wesrern Union wires
near the telephone wire. 10
the latter cause, probably, is due the
greatest trouble, Telephone men feel
confident that, ia wire can be obtained
remote from the "ires devoted to tGr-
graph business, conversation can be
easily carried OIL under Noonan's meth
oil. As it was, the results of the ex-
pertinent are considered of great prac-
teal value.

CempulsOPy Education.

spe ,ial attention during the past year
han been paid in England to enforced
attendance at the public schools, by
means of compulsory bylaws. About
= ono COO of the population have been
brought under such laws during the
year and very soon it is promised that
.lirect conpulsion, for all children be.
tween the ages of o and 10, will be the
law throughout England and Wales. At
rhe soIre time the need of enforcing at
tendance is still great. With more than
:, OOO 900 school places in voluntary
schools, there are less than 1000, 900
scholars in average attendance--an un-
favorable showing compared with the
hoard schools, which, with 1000, 900
naces. have 10000 children at school
syery day. On a basis of years in
school for every child out of the 10
wears covered by their school age, it
is estimated that there are 3,6O6, PAT
children who ought to be Under daily
1t is true that the number
of day scholars on the books of inspected !
schools was about $50, ,0On more than this
lime last year, bnt the average attend
nee was round million short of it.

Lost Hlstory Found,

European bibllophiIes are deligh ted at
the recent discovery at Basel Of Il leaves
that have long been missing from the
annals OF George Cadrenus, Greek monk
OF the eleventh century, whose works
possess large historical as well az bib
biographical, interest. Cardenus's an
nails originally formed part of colec-
ton Of byzantine histories, the oldest
maLuscript copy OF which belonged to
the library of kanas in Paris. 1t hay-
ing been suggested that the missing
leaves Of the kanas volume might be
found in the University library at Basel
search was made there, and IA, or near
ly all of them, were found, and in the
same hand writing az hLe volume itself.
They have been promptly restored to
their proper place, and the French
Academy has returned its thanks tor

AYOung Catholic in Trouble,

Lord Butte, ardent young Catholic
that he is, and devoted student of the
ancient Hebrew tongue, has got himself
into new trouble as q consequence of
his conversion to the Church Of Rome.
His ancestor, the first Lord, more than
q century ago, built chapel in the
grounds Of Mount Stewart in the Pres
bytery of Eo'hesay, Scotland which,
for two generations, vas used az a par
:sh church, and, until the present Lord
became convert to Rome, worship was
always maintained there. Upon his
conversion, however, the chapel was
closed, and his recent declared intention
70 open it as Calholic school has stir
red the whole Presbyterv with that in
tense religions Indignation which is
peculiar to Scotland and unknown III
any other quarter of the world. 1t is
predicted that the contes! will be car
riel into courts Of law.

judgment Of the attending surgeons,
the patient has fully recovered the
ground lost by the recent relapse. He
has taken more nOurishment to- day
than in any equivalent period since last
Friday, and has several times EXPIRE
ssed himself as feeling much better.
The entire absence of the febrile rise
this afternoon Is regarded as q very en-.
couraging feature of the case. For. the
first time in more than three weeks the
patients temperature at the evening
examination was to-day normal. There
has teen no further exploration of the
wound in search of fragments of bone,
and no indication of the existence of
such fragments, or of any obstruction
or source of irritation whatever. The
pus flows out naturally and freely
through the new incision, and is of a
perfectly healthy character. After the
evening dressing of the wound the
patient slept quietly for three hours,
and awokc few minutes since, feeling
greatly refreshed. He has no fever and
has had none since yesterday. His
pulse is nov below 100, and his tempera-
ture and respiration are normal. The
attending surgeons, although by no
means tree from anxiety, express the
hope and belief that the present i'm |
provement is q permanent gain. and
mat the President is on the way to re-
,overy. DIR. Hamilton arrived here
rom New York at 10 o'clock tonight.

Our President.

The Indian students at Carlisle
Barracks, Pa, print little paper
called the School News. It's editor is a
rawnee youth. His editorial leader in
the last issue is about "Our President. !"
1t has the simple earnestncss OF the
"untu,orcd mind" bnt there are
glimpses warranting hopes for higher
civilization. He says:
The shooting OF the president was
dreadful The man who shot him, we
suppose, thought he would please some
of the people of the United States. He
thought he was smart. If the
President were to die, how would
every white man, black man AMI the
Indian fee.? Il Some people think the
man who shot the President was crazy,
We don't think SO. He was mad. we
guess, because the president would not
let him he one OF the head men in some
Office. + i e We all feel sorry be-
cause the President is suffering 80. We
hone he will soon recover.
