Cabling Across the Atlantic.

How long does it take to transmit
amesSage through the Atlantic cable?
The New York Journal Of Commerce
has been investigating this gu stiOn,
and simple as it looks at first sight
there ar many singular and interesting
points in the answer. When the
electricity is appli ID to the cable
at one end, two-tenths of a second
pass before a y eff ct is felt at the
other end and three seconds are CON-
sumed before the full force of the
current is in action. The first signal
is felt in fou, -tenths of a second, but
the following ones go through more
rapidly. As many as seventeen words
have been sent over the Atlantic cable
in one minute; fifteen can usually be
sent under pressure, and twelve words
a minute is a good wo. K ng rate.
Messages of twelve words have been
sent all the way from New York to
London in two minutes. A fact not
vet explain d by the scientists is that
the electricity does not move as rapid
" from New York to London as in
the opposite direction.

M. W. c. Chase, Editor Of the Bee:
SIR: Your letter to the Citizen s
Club, dated March 18th, | regret very
much it did not reach me in time to
present it to the meeting last Wednes-
day night. Since the meeting your
letter has been shown to great num-
ber of the meluberS and many of them
have also read your editorial notice of
regret published in THE BEE of March
3lst, which has given entire satlsiac-
tion. The president of the club, Mr..
John w. Freeman, laid the matter be-
fore the meeting on the 4th inst, and
repeated speech similar to the one
delivered at the emancipation con-
vention. Young men to the front" :"
which was generally approved by the
entire club. The Citizens Club is
largely composed of talented young
men, many of whom have never be-
fore took part in political matters,
and who have become disgusted with
the way the alleged leaders of the
negroes in this district have treated
them, consequently they have come
to the determination to give the
young men of nerve and talent a
chance, and to this end the old and the
young have joined hands and organ
ized a Citizens Club, and have con-
cluded that the fearless manner that
you have advocated the rights of our
race, that you are the man we ought
to and will support. The manner in
which you have exposed their lame
pretense, that they could not do this
and that is no longer regarded by us
as an excuse. 1t has been proven to
be otherwise. | am also directed to
state in behalf of the Citizens Club
that it will meet aglin Oh Wednes-
day evening, April 70. | am there

tion to represent as many Of the mem

place at the 18th Street Presbyterian
Church last Wednesday evening. At

The bride was tastefully dressed which
gave her the appearance of Jewish

was held from eight till ten. The

Why Do Birds Sing I!

With all this strong ten lency on
the part of birds to vary their music,
how is it that there is still such a
degree of uniformity, so that, as we
have said, ev' ry sprci1 IS may be recOg-
nized by its notes? Why does every
red-eyed vireo sing in one way, and
every white-eyed vireo in another?
Who teaches the young clipper to
trill, and the young linnet to warble?
In short, how do birds come by their
music? Is it all a matter of lstinct,
inherited habit, or do they learn it
The answer seems to be that birds
sing as children talk, by simple imita-
tion. Nobody imagines that the infant
is born with language printed upon
his brain. The father and mother
ma never have known word of any
tongue except the English, but if the
child is brought up to hear only Chi
nese, he will infdllibly sp ak that,
and nothing ese. And careful exper-
iments have shown tilat the same is
true of birds. Taken from the nest
,u,t after they Lave the shell, they
Invariably s.ng, not their own So
called natural song, but the song of
their foster-pa eats; provided, of
cour g thas TINS is not anything be-
yond their physical capacity. The
notorious house sparrow (our ENG
lish" sparrow, in his wild or semi
d0mesti3ateI state, never makes a
musical sound, but if he is taken in
hand early enough, he may be taught
to sing, 50 it is said, nearly as we'll as
the canary. Bechstein relates that a
Paris clergyman had two of these
sparrows whom he hal trained to
speak, and, among other things, to
recite several of the shorter comm md
ments; and the narrative goes on to
say that it was sometimes very
comical, when the pair Were disput-
ing over their food, to hear one
gravely admonish the other, "ThOu
shalt not steal!" 1t would be
interesting to know why creatures
thus gifted do not sing of their own
motion. With their amiaDility and
sweet peaceableness they ought to be
caroling the whole year round.-At-

 CAMP APACHE, Oct. 20, 1883.
 MY DEAR SIR R:-For some time I have seen articles in the papers about poor Charley. Although it has been our opini ion that he perishs ed, the general differs with us Sieber, Capt Crawford and others have the me idea as myself. Still we would not be surprised if he should come in. Bonito has been with his band at San Beruardino 10 receiv,d those who have tried to come in but were frightened back by dirty lot Of scamps that cont want peaceable Indians. I have proof that they, Gsionimo and Chat to, have been at Silver Creek, but were driven and advised u go back. That is why the general sent Bonito and scouts there. Juh they mention. You may rest assured they lie when they mention his name as being wiih those at c asas Grandes 1 have been with the Chiricahuas at San Carlos for two months and know that Juh is not with them i'll Mexico. There have been more - lies concern ing those Indians, and it is done by the Indian ring that don't. want the Indians other than on the war path. If they had been left alone they would have been here long before now, and if Charley was alive he would have been with them. Juh or any other chief has TO control over Chatto or whatever he captures on his raids. Each band distribute among their own tribes, and any prisoner captured by either Geroni- mo or Chatto would be at their dis posal. Let us hope, but not depend upon other than those who work for an unselfish motive. l still believe and in fact am positive that yet all of the Chiricahua band will be in at San Carlos. My kindest wishes to the boys and yourself.
