Having remarked that telephones trans
NIT along with speech sounds of an un-
known origin, the author mas undertaken
in order to find out if the
causes of these sounds are not those which
oppose telephone communication in great
distances. To eliminate all possible sources
of error, the following arrangement was
adopted. A line of twenty meters was
laid on the floor of several rooms, all the
doors of communication being closed. 1t
was connected at one end to a pair of
telephones by means of flexible conductors,
designed to arrest sounds which might
communicate themselves mechanically
along the metal to the telephones. The
circuit was completed between these con-
ductors by another flexible wire, on the
Path of which was an interruption pedal,
rendering 1t possible to cut the circuit
without changing at all the nature of the
communications between the line and the
telephones, and to prove that the sounds
heard had an electric origin. The operator
acted at the other end of the line which
was not connected, directly OF by induction,
with any electric generator. He observed
that the current produced by the friction
of two wires of the same kind or of differ
ent kinds and that produced by closing q
pressure screw were heard in the tele-
phones. 1t is easily understood that when
Suspended, telegraph wires serve for tele.
phonic transmission, this cause may occa
sion much trouble, sircs these lines are
formed Of pieces of IRON wire connected Il
each other and to the stretchers by liga
tursa more or less perfect, which are in ,
state Of constant agitation. But this csus'
Of failure may be removed by soldering th'
wires instead of tying them. Cnfortu

Unexpected Answer.

Talking to the boys in public meetings is
getting to be an art and science. Billy
Ross is great temperance lecturer, and at
Rosherville, LII. was preachin to the young
on his favorIte theme. He said:
Snow boys, when l ask you question,
you mustn't be afraid to speak right out,
and answer me. When you look around,
and see all these fine houses, farms, and
cattle do you ever think who owns them
all now? Your fathers own them, do they
notf"
'sYes. sirl" shouted hundred voices
"well, where will your fathers be in
twenty years from nowf"
'.Dead!" shouted the boys.
sAnd who will own all this property
theni"
''Us boys!" shouted the urchins.
'Right! Now tell me, did you ever, in
going along the streets, notice the drunk
ards lounging around the saloon doo.s,
waiting for somebody to treat themS"
"Yes, sir; lots of theml"
"Well, where will they be in twenty
years from nowi"
Dead" exclaimed the boys.
| "And who will be the drunkards thep
Gus boysl"
Billy was thunderstruck for q moment
but, recovering himself, he tried to tell tn
boys how to escape such fate.

Whe Should Bow First?

A gentleman should always bow first to
a lady, no matter whether she returns it or
not. II he sees by her face that she does
not wish to return it he can refrain from
bowling the next time. This is on the ground
that lady particularly an eldarly ole or a
society leader, perhaps, has so many &C.
quaintances that she does not remember all
the young men who have been presented. q"
This, however, does not seem to settle the
question conclusively, for it may be that
the yo1ng man has quite as many acquaint-
ances as the lady, even if an elderly one.
He may himself, too, very likely be a So
ciety leader; in fact, a very large number
Of the leaders Of society at the present time
are OF what would have been considered
6fty years ago comparatively immature
age. Our own opinion is, and 1t has been
arrived at after reflection, that both persons
should bow simultaneously. Perhaps, in
the case of very near-sighted persons, a
little latitude might be given, providing
the fact Of myopis can be clearly proved
by medical evidence. There is however,
always danger in these exceptions to social
rules, and therefore it may be safer fol
ar-sighted persons to bow in all cases ol
doubt, accustoming themselves to do thi.
with uniform courtesy whether they ar,
! themselves recognizedor not.

THREADING NEEDLES.

Hdre. daughter. thread my needle.
Nv sight is growing poor;
The silken thread has missed the eye
A dozen times or more.
l mind when first my mother
The same thing said TO me,
Sad as l felt you must not feel
Because l cannot see;
For remember, years gone by,
Just 30 grandmother said.
Now mothers sight was failing her
And grandmother Was dead.
So one by one we all grow old
AMI each in turn must ask
The younger, brighter, better eyes
To help US see our task
All well. dear child. 'tis good tc know
That somewhere. by and by,
A strong new sight shall be resto' ed
To every failing eye
| Ike 10 think, as earth grows dim,
or where then shall be;
Eve hath not seen the wondrous things
The Lord hath promised me.
Give me the threaded needle now.
While your young eyes are kind,
And l have such q joyful hope
I'm sure 1 need not mind,
Though my sight fails rs mothers failed.
And grandmother's before,
And though miss the needles eye
A dozen times or more

The late ex-Presldent Thomas A Scott,
OF the Pennsylvania Railroad, did much to
build up this great thoroughfare. and by
that means to extend, foster and encourage
the trade of the whole country. To this
work was added that of catering for the
amusement and entertainment Of the peo-
ple-travelers and tourists-and lines are
opened in all directions by which they can
reach prominent and romantic places Of
summer resort. The plans hitherto pur
sued will be again carried out this summer
by the officers and managers of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, with such additions and
amendments, rs will accommodate the peo
pie to still greater degree. Among the
many lines Of summer travel projected by
the Pennsylvania Railroad this summer,
excursions up the romantic Hudson stand
deservedly preeminent. About the 25th OF
June, the superb steamer Richard Stock
tom will be restored to the Ne xburgh
route. She is now being fitted mp In
complete manner for the summer service,
and will be as popular this summer as she
was in 1879. Captain Bloomsburg will be
at the post of command; there will
be q full and excellent band of music
on board. Tue restaurant will be
conducted on the basis of popular
prices, and no intoxicating drinks will be
sold On board These features of the ex-
cursions canno. fail to commend them to
the confidence and approval of tourists
who wish safety, pleasure and profit COM
bIned IN one trip. The Stockton will run
every day, including Sundays, at the low
and popular rates of 1879. She will leave
the Pennsylvania docks at Jersey City at
A. NJ, excepting Thursdays, when her
leaving time will be thirty minutes later.
The Stockton will stop at Cozzen's Dock,
West Point, in both directions, and passen-
gers will have an hour and half, AT that
point, to view the place and its objects of
interest. She will also remain half an
hour at Newburgh, which is f1ll of histori-
cal memorials. Jersey City will be reached
at G. 80 p. VI. At this point connections
will be made with Brooklyn Annex boats,
and the trains of the Pennsylvania Rail
road. From jersey City and Brooklyn,
the price for the round trip wll be half a
dollar, and children half that amount.
This will be delightful summer jaunt,
and the price is put on such a popular
basis as to enable all classes to visit and
enjoy the picturesque and varied scenery
of the Hudson river.

The Electric Railway In Berlin.

1t IL announced by telegram that the
electric street railway of DIR. Sienens, in
Berlin, was opened for public travel on the
18th of May, with much success. A num-
Der of prominent officials and scientists
were present. Ii Is narrow guage eleva-
ted street railway, mounted on posts placed
on the street sidewalks, something hike
portions of the elevated railway in New
York, but on a smaller scale. The new
railway Is located on the outskirts of Ber-
lin, and extends from the suburb known
as Lichterfeld to yellow, a distance of
about two miles. The passenger cars are
narrow and short, carrying only fourteen
passengers. There are two tracks. The
cars are propelled by dynamo electric
machine, which receives electricity through
track and suspended cable, from an cleo
tric generator, one al each end Of the line,
each generator driven by a sixty horse en-
CINE An average speed Of twenty miles
an hour was expected to be realized.
The original electric railways, which
were tried as experiments at Berlin and
Dusseldorf exhibitions Of 1879 and 1880,
were worked by locomotives whose mecha-
ulSlu ICsCluDiCu hACu uN
machine. The rails Of the line and the
wheels of the locomotive engines were
made of use to conduct the current OF cleo
tricIty and produce the necessary motion.
The second conductor conveying the cur
rent produced by the stationary machine
to the locomotive was injected with a
system of brushes attached to the locomo-
tive. These brushes touched high edged
rail running in the middle of two other
rails and insulated from the ground by a
longitudinal sleeper. In practice, however,
it has been found that this arrangement is
exposed 20 serious interruptions. The wet,
snow AMI mud which (according to the
season. collects in the ordinary course of
traffic upon the middle rail Interfere very
seriously at times with its conductive ca
pacity. 1t has accordingly been deter
mined on the Berlin electric line to conduct
the current by means Of a copper wire
properly insulated, and attached to pillars
erected alongside the line, the current be-
ing conducted from the copper wire to the
locomotive by means of con tact rollers.

MIFFLINTOWN JUNIATA COUNTY PENNA WEDNESDAY.

nately there is another cause; the currents
due to the influence of the vibrations them
selves To verify this hypothesis, the
author placed in the circuit, at the end op-
posite the telephones, rod of iron 1.50
meters in length, and connected to the
system by supple conductors. This rod
was struck sometimes transversely and
sometimes longi;udinally with hammer.
The sounds occasioned by the blows were
distinctly reproduced by the telephones
with their peculiar characters. This ex-
pertinent if repeated with copper or brass
rods, gave merely negative results. 1t
seems that the phenomenon is only pro-
duced as an effect of the vibrations occa-
stoned In the wire. Future experiments
must decide whether it is due TO molecular
change which the metal undergoes or to q
peculiar action. If. as 1t is probable. the
vibrations caused by the wind set upon the
lines Of iron wires like the blows upon q
rod, it appears difficult to correspond at
greet distances with the existing means of
transmission, till a method has been found
Of causing the telephones to speak by the
aid OF electric action so powerful that the
currents a-islng In the line itself cease to
be an appreciable cause Of disturbance.
