Told by Telegraph.

Such is the adaptability of the
Morse alphabet used in telegraphing
that it can be communicated by the
sense of hearing, taste, sight or feel
ing.
About twenty years ago Col. j. j. S.
Wilson, Of st. Louis, then an active
telegraph superintendent, was on a
tour in the southern part of Missouri.
1t was season of floods. Large por-
tions of the country adjacent to the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers were in
undated, and the wreckage had in
cluded the washing away of many
miles of poles and wire. 1t became
necessary to communicate with point
on the Missouri bank Of the Mississip-
pi river by telegraph. The fertile in
vention of Col. Wilson directed that
n locomotive be run to the Illinois
bank. Mounting the foot-board, he
grasped the valve, and soon the shrill

A S.OicaI Family.

He was talking to another about q
young lady noted for her stern ex.
preston Of countenance, whose father
had assisted his exit from her resi-
dence, with his heavy foot, a few nights
before.
81 hear you have ceased paying
your compliments to Miss Morose,"
he said.
"Yes," was the reply; 81 couldn't
stand her stoical demeanor. | hear
you have deserted her, too. Same
reason, | supposeS"
Not exactly" said the first dude.
81 believe it was her fathers toe-ical
demeanor that severed my connections
with the family."-San Francisco
Post.

screams of the locomotive whistle
were heard by the listening operators
on the other shore, whistling out Will
sons message in the long and short
sounds of the alphabet, familiar to
them as that of their primers. Com
municaton was kept up in this way
for several hours.
A rich citizen of San Francisco
owes his life to his knowledge of tele-
graphy acquired many years ago.
Wandering over Southern California
as prospector, he was captured by a
band Of Mexican desperadoes. They
carried him to an abandoned hacienda,
and with mocking cruelty set him at
their table to feast, before, as they
told him, they killed him. The pris-
oner recognized among his captors an
old companion, also an operator, who
had gone to the bad little time be-
fore. The recognition was mutual,
but neither dared to address the other.
The captive's quick wit improvised a
sounder out of his knife and fork,
and, while to the Others he appeared
playing with them, his cry for assist
ance was read and understood by his
old-time comrade. They formed in
this way plan of escape, which was
successfully carried out.
A train on a Western railroad sew
eral years ago met with a terrific ac-
cident miles from any station. Among
the passengers was young telegraph
er, His ready mind took in the sit
uation, and climbing the nearest pole
it was an easy task to cut the wire,
and using the two ends as key sent
message for help. To receive the
reply was more difficult task. Here
again the young mans invention stood
in good stead and spurred him on to
an exhibition of nerve that is rarely
met with. Admonishing the distant
operator to send slowly, he placed the
cut ends Of the wire upon his tongue,
and by the strength Of each shock to
that delicate member made out the
letters until the message was complete.
That young mans sense of taste was
destroyed and returned only in a
weakened degree after two or three
years.
There happened to be an operator
on board Of Il small coasting schooner
which was cast on a Florida reef in
such position that escape from the
ship and aid from the shore were both
out Of the question during the night
of the wreck. Throughout the long
hours of suspense he kept up COM
munication with another operator on
shore by means Of a lantern, and
words Of hope, of sympathy and en-
couragemeut passed back and forth
until day dawned and made rescue
possible.
The United States government in
several Of its lighthouses has the Ian

This is a method Of distinguishing the

Il little practice.--Ex.

Failure Of . wall Street BrOksr.
lpames K. Keene, the well-known
