at long distance away over the Or
binary wires, and little practice is
said to enable the operator to easily re-
ceive and interpret the messages. The
system admits Of several messages being
simultaneously sent over one wire, in
the same or different directions. This
is accomplished by connecting several
sets of apparatus with the wire. The
disc of each set is made to give differ
ent note (either by increasing the speed
or the number of holes,) and each
listener with a telephone confines his
attention to one note, to the exclusion
of others, and observes the Interrupt
tions Of it. 1t is claimed that this is
not at all difficult. The system is stated
to be applicable to long lines.
St. Landry democrat., 1881-12-03
Future War.
ICity Item. |


The st. Louis Globe-Democrat is tax
ing justice Matthews Of the Supreme
Court, slightly to task on account, of his
rule of law must supersede arbitrament
by battle. 1t is true that the whole ten
dency OF modern civilization is to avoid
war as much as possible; and tits equal
| ly true that war is likely to occur less
presently in the future than in the past.
But this is less the result of humanita-
rian conviction or moral sentiment than
of many other causes. War has be-
| come with the progress of science, enor-
mously expensive and prodigiously des-
tructive. The volume of armies has
been quintupled the quality of artillery
increased thousand-fo Whereas a
hundred years ago an army of $4,000
men was considered formidable, we
now hear Of armies of half million
and even of a million and half. The
cannon OF past century, which threw
a small ball about mile, was a toy to
the krupp or Armstrong, which hurls
fifteen hundred pound shell or two
thousand pound shot fourteen miles.
Every shot now fired from gun Of the
first class costs us much as would sup
port worl1ingman in Europe for a year.
Every mile marched by modern army
in time OF war costs hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to the government. 4
war means in these days debt of
billions in addition to loss Of life, des-
truction of property and stagnation of
business. What will check the fire.
quency of war is its destructiveness and
expense, constantly increasing in direct
ratio to the increase Of scientific knowl-
edge and civilized nropress.
But it is hard to believe that war will
ever cease altogetherupon these grounds.
The sociologist has discovered law in
the perodicity of war. War is an cpl
demic, disease of society, a regular
purgatlOn, a source of soil liberalization,
a compulsory return to the earth Of the
elements wrested from it by agriculture,
a healthy dysentery that purifes ma
tional blood. There is certainly rec
ognized necessity for war,-moral and
physical. Won Moltke has told us what
the moral necessity is; historians have
told us what the matinal benefit to the
soil is. Moreover war is a check to over
increase of population. From time i'm
memorial nations have saved themsel-
YES from famine by self-decimation in
war. This fact is being more and more
recognized by philosophers and the
more we iLhprove our Appliances OF deS-
truction by military science,-the more
war becomes difficult and expensive,
the more certain we may be that it's
necessities and results will always be
the same. Suppose that war shall at
some future epoch only occur once in a
hundred years, then we may feel sat
isfied that such war will be compare
lively more destructive than those of
less peaceful era, in which wars occur
almost annually. For the law of war
seems to be like that of the distribution
Of heat upon the surface Of the earth g
we always receive just the same guam
tity, whether the summers be cool or
the winters warm

DYING.-Stanley, the great explorer
| OF interior Africa, may be dead before
this paragraph reaches the eye Of our
readers. He was on an expedition to
open internal Africa to commerce, when
he was stricken down by the malarial
poison which had fastened upon his sys-
TEN during his explorations in the dark
continent. This American newspaper
reporter will live in history as the great
est explorer of modern times. He
showed more skill, bravery and perse-
verance than any Of the great travellers
of our day. He crossed the continent
OF Africa by descending the Congo, a
task Livingston shrunk from, and Cam
eron declared was impracticable. He
thoroughly surveyed the Victoria Lake,
and nearly completed a like survey Of
Tanganyika. He found that the largest
aff1uent of Victoria Lake was the real
beginning of the Nile, and that Lualaba
and the Congo are one and the same
river. But his work has killed him.
The wholesome, buoyant adventurer,
full OF fire and animation, was changed
after his second exploration into gray
haired, sad-faced, dreaming, premature
~ old man. 1t is said to be the fate of
all explorers of Africa, that once pois-
Oned by malaria, it exercises strange
fascination to the victim, who always
returns to die. Livingston was chang
ed man when Stanley discovered him.
He too, had eaten of the insane root /: he
cared nothing for his Christian mission,
and was living with several dusky
women when fo4td by the young ex-
plorer. Stanley himself is entering the
dark valley by way of the dark CONT
