some PhtIosoph,c Observations by = Young
Man who Has Been There himseif'
Middletown Transcript.
Four hundred dollars per year is said to
be the average salary paid to the editors,
reporters and printers Of the United States
engaged on newspaper work. Young men.
you who are longing to join the band OF
public opinion moulders, just think of
that. Four hundred dollars year for the
best slice of your life Hadn't you better
stick to the farm, the counting room, or
learn a good trade, that, when you become
tolerably proficient in it, will pay you re-
munerative wages. Hundreds have
learned that moulding public opinion
is a mighty poor business. Moulding stove
lids pays much better, and don't cause
half the wear and tear on the mould
er's system. A good many think that
newspaper work is just As easy as falling
down on ice, or finding a girls lips In the
dark. We used to think so ourself, but
that was when We were bigger TOOL than
We arc now. We knew q young man
once, out West, who for two years longed
for q place on a newspaper as reporter,
and 1T last he got it. The first day he was
required to report horse race, temper

OF town. After he had done all of this
the managing editor told him he might
write Washington letter, giving sum
mary of the political situation at the
national capital, and then he could
20 out and get some points on the pork
market for the next days paper. lie
wanted to know of tho managing editor
how in tho dread future he could write a
Washington letter at a point ia miles
from the national capital, and when he
had never been there in his life. The man
aging editor cody replied that if he
couldn't write letter from any point in
the known world on fifteen minutes no
tice hc'd better quit the newspaper busi-
ness before he disgraced it," He resigned
that same evening and went back to his
counting house stool, and his old time in
dependent ten dollar a week air, aud
never asked to he journalist again.
Some men seem to be born to do news
paper work, and they will do it if they
have to live on cold hash and button Their
coat up to their chin while their only shirt
is in the wash. And they will be just as
happy, too, as the sOn-in-law of mOnOp
list with bad cough. They would never
be contented in any other calling, even il
it paid them ten thousand dollars yeal
and firewoOd. All others should keep on
of the journalistic field.

Electra Storm

The electric storm, extended throughout
the country and occasioned an almost COM
pletc interruption of Geographic communi-
cation yesterday. Old tclegraphcrs can
hardly recall an auroral storm of equal ex-
tent Ill their experience. Itspread through
out the United States and the eastern PROV
mces of Canda, and seriously affected the
working Of the Atlantic cables. Though
the working of telegraph lines was much in
terferred with by the condition of the at
mosphere, there was, so far rs heard from,
no concentration of electricity anywhere
sufficient to produce lightning.
Before noon all the lines of the Western
Union Telegraph Company running north
ana west from Washington were in trouble
strong earth currents, alternating ut inter
walls III polarity, took virtual possession OF
the wires, at one time doubling the strength
OF the main batteries, anu then ncutralizinr
them entirely.
line magnetic interference was greatest
on the East ana West lines, but II was found
that by using il wire for the return current
instead OF the Garth and thus making me.
tallc circuit throughout, most of the trouble
was avoided.
This, clearly indicated that the proximate
source O.! the disturbance was the earth and
not the atmosphere, although it is in the at
mosphcrc that such magnetic storms usually
manifest themselves in the form OF brilliant
auroras. As an experiment, wire was
worked between Washington and Baltimore
with the terrestrial current alone. the bat
terics having been entirely detached.
In Chicago where the sky was ablazc, the
current was alternately increased or neu-
tralized to such an extent as to set the
switch board Oh fire and melt several KEYS
of the instruments. At Milwaukee an cleo
trio lamp was kept burning by the atmos-
pheric electricity alone.
Dispatches from various other points
throughout the country represent the storm
to have been similar in character to that
which prevailed in the above cities.
A number of theories have been advanced
rs to the cause of these electric storms. but
as yet scientists have reached no satisfacto.
ry conclusion. They are, however, proba-
bly due to the presence of large quantities
OF electricity in the upper regions, which
cause the electrical equilibrium of the earth
to be disturbed, thus forcing intense currents
in many cases exceeding the potentialty
OF the batteries uscd--over the wires.
These auroral currents are fitfnl and change
able. sometimes stronger and sometimes
weaker. Yesterdays storm was most yio-
lent in New York and the Eastern States,
but was also severe in the Northwest. Late
last night, however it had in a large meas
ure abatcd, and little difficulty was eSper-
fenced in the transmission of messages.
