Shall We Smell by Telephone!

Iasked Judge Bleckley the other night
what he thought would be the direction
of invention and progress the next thirty
years.
Il should say" he replied, "the ap-
plication of the principle of the tele.
phone to the other senses. A few years
ago the distance at which you could
hear a sound was limited. Now it is
practically without limit. You can
smell flower only at short distance.

rose in New York, even though you
were located in Atlanta. So of the taste

principle of the telephone might enable
you to remain in Atlanta and kiss your
wife in London or taste berry in Paris.

sight. ewould have thought the man
crazy a decade ago who said you could
stand in New York in 1888 and hear
every note of a concert in Boston.
Quite as crazy as the man who now
predicts that in 1908 you may sit down
in Atlanta, see theatrical representa-
ton in Cincinnati, smell bouquet in
New Orleans, taste a fresh oyster in
Baltimore, and shake hands with a
friend in Savannah, all at the same time.
In these days it is only the impossible
that happens. "-At!anta Co,sstitussoz.

Making Gold Rings.

Gold rings are made from bars nine
or fifteen inches long. A bar fifteen
inches long, about two inches wide and
three-sixteenths of an inch thick, was
worth 81, 200. 1t would make 500 four
pennyweight rings. A dozen processes
and twenty minutes of time are re-
quired to change the bar into mer-
charitable rings. A pair of shears cuts
the bar into strips. By the turn of
wheel, one, two or three times, the
guillotine-like blade of the shears chops
the bar into slices one, two or three
sixteenths of an inch wide. A rolling
machine presses out the strips and
makes them flat or grooved. Each
strip is then put under the blow-pipe
and annealed. The oxide of copper
comes to the. surface and is put into
pickle of sulphuric acid, the bit of gold
is stamped with its quality and the
name of the maker, and is put through
machine that bends it to the shape OF
ring, the same machine making
ring of any size. The ends are soldered
with an alloy of inferior fineness to the
quality of the ring. Many people
imagine that rings are run in mold
because they can't see where they are
soldered. The ring spins through TIE
turning lathes, is rounded and pared
and polished. first with tripoli and then
with steel filings and rouge. They are
cow ready for the market and matri-

The Habit Of Teasing.

The trouble about teasing is, that il
makes nobody really happy, and it
always causes somebody to feel annoyed.
/ do not know that big brothers are more
in the habit of teasing than other people
are, but it often happens that many lit
tie nieces run to me and say: "Please,
Aunt Marjorie, won't you speak to Will
lie P" or, Wont you ask Hugh to let
my pussy alone?" And when look at
the grieved faces and quivering lips,
although l am very amiable person,
indeed, / assure you l want to give
Hugh or Will shaking.
tiers. Once in while, too, it happens
that the little sisters grow up and write
books, and put the teasing brothers ih,o
them, and then the whole world finds
out what naughty boys they were. That
is what befell the brothers of Madame
Michelet, a French lady, who was not
very happy as child. Her brothers
worried her cat; and stole her dar-
ling doll, and hanged it to tree. Is it
not terrible to think that in these days
hundreds and thousands of children
know just how badly those boys be-
haved so long ago? -
But have met teasing girls in my
time. l suppose you will think it
strange that a grown-up lady should be
so silly as to be afraid of caterpillars,
and, indeed, your Aunt Marjorie is very
much ashamed to confess so absurd a
fear. Still, it is a fact, and can you
imagine anything more cruel in little
girl; knowing this, than to put poor
innocent caterpillar on my arm one
day? l am sure you would have felt in
dignant had you been there.
Then, besides being very annoying, it
is quite possible that serious injury
may result from what is simply meant
as innocent teasing. A boy or girl who
is never timid nor nervous may play
some trick that will brighten a more
delicate and sensitive brother or sister
into real illness. 1t seems dreadful to
where poor little children have been
frightened into commissions, and actually
to death, by heartless and ignorant
people.
Teasing is wrong, because it implies a
desire to have fun at another's expense.
Perhaps to have pleasure at another's
pain would describe it more precisely.
No noble boy or girl can enjoy pleas
ure which makes a companion uncOm-
Portable. For this reason you should
never take part in a practical joke, or
in anything which is not fully up to the
standard of the Golden Rule. You all
know what that is.-Harper's Young

1t is one of the severest tests OF

stain of sin upon him, and to speak

Modern skepticism is the child Of
ignorance. No man can dig down to
the foundations of the Christian re
ligion without finding that it rests upon
rock. Its rapid and wide spread, the
blessings it scatters on every hand, the
social changes for the better wrought
by it, the Transformation and almost the
TRANSPORTATION of the nations that ac-
cept it, these are marvels for which
there is no explanation if it be not from
God. Lack of information, or failure
to thoroughly investigate matters, lies
at the root of all unbelief. One of the
most noted of infidel writers admitted
that he had never read page of the
New Testament. A fair examination OF
the Gospel in its teachings and its his
tory makes believers. The word OF
God never tries to eyade scrutiny. On
the contrary. it invites it, and those who
know it the best are its strongest disci-
piles and defenders. E. S. AtUood.

Bucking Against Facts.

the other day and exhibited to the eyes
of an admiring crowd an enormous egg,
about six inches long, which he avowed
to have been laid by one of his Own
he.ls. He had it packed in cotton, and
wouldn't allow anybody to handle it fol
fear of breaking the phenomenon. The
grsceryman examined it with the rest,
and, intending to chaff the countryman,
said: .'Pshaw! I've got something in
the egg line that will beat that"

haven't" said the countryman, getting
excited.
Take it up replied the grocery
man, and going behind the counter, he
brought out a wire egg-beater. There's
something in the egg line that will beat
it, guess" said he, reaching out for
the stakes.
'.Hold on there" said the farmer,
''let's see you beat it," and he handed
it to the grocer. The latter held out
his hand for it, but dropped it in sur
prise on the counter, where it broke two
soup plates and platter. 1t was of
solid iron painted white.

pocketed the stakes and Lit out, '.but

by the collar, yank him up the steps
into a railroad car, jam him down into
the hot seat next the stove, pile up
valise and two big brown baskets with
loose covers and long handles at his
feet, shove a baby into his lap and say:
Now, sit there until / help Mary
Jane on the car, and don't you move
until / come back"
When the woman reached the car
door, the traveller said to her:
'.Is that your husband3"
