WheatStOne System.

The Wheatstone system of tele
graph, to which frequent reference
has of late been made in dispatches
relative to the strike of the telegraph
ic union, and upon which the tele-
graph companies depend so greatly in
their present struggle with their en-
ployes, is an automatic system of
transmitting and receiving tele-
grams, and is operated in the follow
ing manner: A strip of paper,
chemically prepared, is punctured by
means of an ordinary set of Morse
instruments with Morse characters,
representing the information to be
transmitted. A number of messages
are in this manner received. The
strip is then placed on the tranSmitter,
an instrument resembling type
writer, with crank attached This
crank being revolved, rapidly rotates
a pair of cylinders connected with the
electric current, the punctured paper
serves to open and close the cir
cult, as the punctures pass even
the cylinders, thus transmitting
the characters to the distant office.
where they are recorded upon SINH
lar strip of paper in Morse characters
These characters are then translated
and copied into English upon the
blanks of the company to another
operator The advantage claimed foi
the Wheatstone apparatus is that il
transmits and records Morse charac
ters about ten times more rapidly
than it can be done by the fingers OF
the operators, thus increasing
ten-fold the capacity of the wire.
No labor is saved by it, how
ever, and the economy in that direc-
ton arises from the fact that less ex-
perience is required to operate it,
hence the labor IS less expensive. II
can be used only between terminal
points upon a wire, and is available
only in cases where the volume of
business between given points, is such
as would necessitate the exclusive use
of several wires under the ordinary
system.

Treatment OF Snnsiroke.

A writer in the New York Herald
vouches for the mfailing efficacy of
the following treatment in cases of
sunstroke:
Drag the body into the nearest
shade; place II in q sitting position
against wall, tree or anything
that will be support for the back &,
loosen the collar of the shirt or dress /,
throw icecold water over the head
coplously; give u pretty stiff dose of
the essence of Jamaica ginger SAY
an ounce or more to half Il glass of
water Keep up the application of
water after the ginger has been given,
but moderately, and need not be ice
cold. Let the patient have plenty Of
air around him, and in an hours
time he will get up and walk home or
to street car This is all the treat
mont necessary. and il is based on
common sense. The oppression on
the brain caused by the heat is re
ieyed by the cold water, and the
blood is sent from the head To the
body. The ginger df not obtainable
Immediately, brandy will answer,
though the essence of ginger is the
strongest stimulant and quickest pre-
vents anHmia, or lack of blood, by

mesheS The effect is to change the
texture of the cream. To make it adj
herent, stiff, and, as some dairymen
complain, it has leathery texture.
When milk of this character goes into
the cheese vat, the cheese soon taintS
and has an offensive odor of rotten
ness, quite different from the strong
ammoniacal odor of highly ripened
cheese, which is due to the change of
the caScine and aibmmen of it into
ammonia
AS albumen contains 16 per cent. of
nitrogen, which is equivalent to 10
per cent, of ammonia. and diseased
milk of the kind under notice contains
an unusual proportion of albsmen,
and very quickly enters into putre-
factive fermentation, thechange of the
albuman into ammonia and also
sulphur contained in the ex-

cheese made from this sort of milk
Butter made from such cream is apt

but very soon it too undergoes the
putrefactive formation of which buty-
ric acid is always product, as well
as ammonia, and so much butter has
the offensive odor of rotted CHEESE as
well as of that of its own rancidity.
On this account it is very necessary TO

A Lovers Stratagem.

There is a good deal of surprise in
Jersey City over the romantic mar
riage of b. Cliff Tunnison, a young
lawyer and son of prominent Meth
odiSt preacher, to Miss Belle Parton,
of York, Pa, who has been visiting
friends ON Sipp avenue, Jersey City
Heights. She met young Tmnison
short time ago, and he fell in
love with her He learned that she
was under engagement of marriage to a
rich man in York, who was many years
her senior, He was the choice of
her parents, and she yielded to them.
The wedding was to have taken place
ON Wednesday last. Tunison met
Miss Barton a few days before the
time set for her departure for home,
told her his love and was accepted.
They then determined to be married.
The young lady said her aunt, Mrs.
Sayres, would arrive on Monday Ia
take her home. On Sunday of last
week Mr. runnison called upon
Miss Barton, intending to invite
her out for walk, when they would
have the marriage ceremony per
formed. His plan, however, was
spoiled 10y the unexpected arrival of
Miss Barton's aunt The young lady
and her aunt were to start for home
the following day Tunison commu-
nicated with Miss Barton and told her
to leave the car in the railroad depot
by the door opposite to that through
which her aunt would leave
/ it, as he had ruse which he
hoped would be successful in decoy
ing the aunt away. When Mrs
1 Sayres and her niece had taken then
seats in a car a messenger boy entered
and handed Mrs. Sayres letter She
hurried ont, saying she would return
before the train left, and charged hen
niece not to leave the seat. As soon
as she was out of the depot Tunison
and Miss Barton hurried to the ferry
and went to New York. When Mrs.
Sayres returned the train was moving
out. She telegraphed to have her niece
wait at Philadelphia and then started
by the next train, expecting 10 find
Miss Barton waiting there. Before
she arrived at the Philadelphia depot
a message had been sent her, notify
ing her that her niece had become
Mrs. Tunison. The couple, on com
ing to this city, drove TO the residence
of the Rev Mr. Simpson, in Twenty
fifth street, and were married. New
