Llm1rs OF 1sLEpaosIo ACTION.

The power Of the telephone to transmit
the voice to long distances is intimately as.
sociated with It's delicacy. Willoughby
Smith has found by experiment that
telephone will work through "resist-
ance" of wire corresponding to $50, 900
miles of telegraph line; and hence it would
seem mere child Z. play to fulfill the words
of the poet, and "waf5 sigh from Indus
to the Pole" But this was only a labora-
tory experiment for on actual telegraph
lines the leakage of electricity from the
wires to the ground, damp and other draw
backs, render the transmission of speech
by wire far less easy in practice than was
at first supposed. Nevertheless, it is on
record that Mr.. Edison transmitted speech
over line $50 miles long in America and
conversation has been carried on over 500
miles in India 800 miles, from Tabriz, in
Persia, TO Tihis and 300 miles in Spain,
Australia and other places where the at
mosphere is dry and pure. In England, we
have not been able to work through such
long circuits, owing to the wetness of the
atmosphere but Mr.. Van Rysselberghe,
the ingenious Chief of the Meteorological
Observatory at Brussels, has telephoned
from that city to Paris, distance of 2l5
miles and this while the same wire was
carrying simultaneously an ordinary Morse
telegrsphic message. By 9 peculiar dispo-
sition of his apparatus, Mr.. Van Ryssel-
berghe spoke to Paris by telephone without
any interference from the Morse signals
that were traversing the identical wire at
the same time. The day after the bonn.
bardment OF Alexandria, it was announced
in the London papers that the noise Of the
guns had been heard at Malta by telephone
through 1000 miles of submarine cable.
Experienced electricians took the statement
with q grain of salt, because they knew
that submarine cable differs from land.
telegraph wire in the greater retardiDg
effect which it has on electric currents trav-
cling along it. a cable has the effect Of
running together-jumbling up-the deli
cate and rapidly succeeding vocal currents
of the telephone, and either mufflIng the
articulation or creating absolute silence.
Five hundred miles OF land line would
make little or no difference on the distinct.
ness of telephone message, surprising the
| wire to be well insulated from the earth
but 100 miles of ordinary submarine cable
will probably be quite dumb, Indeed,
some experiments made by the writer, with
DR.. Muirhead's artificial cable, chow that
while the voice could be family heard
through length equivalent to fifty, OF
even sixty miles, when it came to eighty
miles no sound st all was audible. The
inductive retardation had frittered away
ans blotted out the delicate undulations Of
the vocal currents. Telephone messages
have, however, been successfully sent by
cable across the Channel, and from Holy
head to Dublin; but in no case has the
length of cable reached 100 miles. The
dream of whispering across the Atlantic
under the roaring forties" is likely to re-
main dream for long time to come.

How TO WALK ERECT. Nothing con-
tributes SO much to good appearance nor
more to health than standing or walking
erect. The Ad0ance has this to say upon
the subject, and in following which all
would be benefited The whole secret of
standing and walking erect consists in
keeping the chin well away from the
breast. This throws the head upward and
backward, and the shoulders will naturally
settle backward and in their true position.
Those who stoop in walking generally look
downward. The proper way is TO look
straight ahead, upon the same level with
your eyes, or If you are inclined to stoop,
until that tendency is overcome, look
rather above than below the level. Moun-
taineers are said to be as ''straight as an
arrow" and the reason is because they are
obliged TO look upward go much. It is
simply impossible to stoop in walking if
you will heed and practice this rule. You
will notice that all round.shouldered per-
cons carry the chin near the breast and
pointed downward.

Not Afraid of Being ExtraIited.

Mr.. Roger A. Pryor announced, on Satur-
day last, to the counsel for the British
Government, that he is instructed by Mr..
Patrick J. p. lyman, alleged to be the
much-sought Number One" implicated in
the doings Of the Dublin "Inyincibles," to
say that he will, whenever wanted,
promptly present himself to the marshal to
do and abide whatever the laws of the
United States may require of him. Mr..
Marbury, the counsel referred to, replied to
General Pryor that he had received no
instructions to take proceedings for Tynan's
arrest" Mr.. MaIbury adds that no war;
rants for lyman, Sheridan or Walsh, with
respect to the extradition of whom so much
has been said, have ever been issued, and
his statement is confirmed by positive as
sertions from the State Department at
Washington. From the latter source it is
learned that mandates for Sheridan, Walsh
and lyman have not been issued. or even
asked for. 1t is believed that if arrested at
all, these men will be arrested without the
formality of papers issued from the State
Department.

Fires in England and America.

The United States Consul at Birming-
ham sends very interesting dispatch to
the State Department on the subject Of
fires IN European and American cities. He
says the amount of property annually de-
stroyed in civilized Europe is much less
than the amount in the United States,
while the number and cost of organizations
and appliances for fighting the flames are
greater in America. Birmingham, which
contains nearly half million inhabitants,
and is one of the largest and busiest factory
towns in the world, has only one steam en-
gine. In 1882 the entire damage by fire was
less than $4,000. Mr.. King says the
moisture of the climate is in some degree
responsible for this immunity from
fire, but there are two other reasons.
Gone is the nature of the roofing material
in ordinary use. In most parts of America
wooden shingles, or compositions chiefly
made up of tar, are largely used. In Bir-
mingham the use of such material is against
the law, which is strictly enforced and
may here say that in Bremen, where had
the honor of once being consul, a law
against inflammable roofing was made in
the sixteenth century. and has been strictly
enforced ever since. / am unable to state
the proportion Of American fires resulting
from sparks falling upon tinder-like roofs,
but / think it must be large. In this place
may express my surprise that the cheap,
picturesque and fire-proof red tiles,
in general use throughout Europe,
have never been largely introduced or
manufactured in our country. The second
reason is the general custom of separating
houses by thick fire walls, extending above
the roofs. These have generally proved to
be most useful in confning fire to the
house where it originates. and the stress
laid upon this and other precautions
against fire by official building inspectors
in recent years has not been without good
results. There can be no doubt that faults
of building cause many fires, and the in
creased carefulness of building inspector;
may reduce the number of fires in the
