A Fence That Is Tr transparent.
San Francisco Chronicle.

Every person who has been to Oak
land on the narrow gauge route since
the new depot was opened has, no
doubt, noticed the high fencing that
separates the wagon road on the
tr2stlework from the r2ilroad tracks
\ few weeks ago it was discovered
that by looking out of the windows
OF the cars and steadily at the fence a
full view of Oakland, the surround
ing hills, the vessels on the creek
and even the sea-wall, which is COM
paratively low, could be distinctly
seen. Inquiry disclosed the fact that
the fence was only transparent during
certain hours of the day-that is, one
can only see through it when the
fence is in the shadow of the cars,
and that when the sun was shining
on it it was simply big board fence,
shutting out the view from the side
The fence itself was inspected. 1t is
constructed of half-inch boards, and
is closely built, the boards being only
about an eighth of an inch apart, and
the only way that the matter can be
accounted for is that the cracks are
all run into one.
1t is the same principle that pre-
vents person from seeing the spokes
on the big wheel of bicycle that is
beng driven fast, and which enables
one TO see clear through the wheel as
if il were large hoop.

Mount Sinai.

Cor News Orleans Times Democrat.
The fact that there is a great deal of
doubt lingering in the minds of tie
most experienced navigators to day as
to exactly which mountain is that
historical peak where "the Lord de-
scended in fire, and the smoke thereof
assembled as the smoke of a furnace,
and the whole mount quaked greatly"
where Moses twice communed with
god for forty days and forty nights;
where the ten commandments were
Numbered forth, and all the details of
the old Jewish code; near which the
slow, half-hearted multitude of 1sreal-
ties persuaded Aaron to make for
them a golden calf, whereat Moses
was so discouraged that he threw
down the tables of stone, and thus
''broke all the commandments at
once" where the institution of the
Sabbath was confirmed; where the
Almighty permitted Moses to see a
measure of His glory; and in the
wilderness about which the children
of Isreal wandered SO many years.
By udying the ships charts [ find
that it is not simple matter to get q
glimpse of Sinai, owing TO the inter
vention of other and taller peaks.
Sinai itself is 1850 feet hIgh, while
Mount ST. Catherine, two miles to the
eastwood, is over $500 feet, and
aaother mo- 1tain toward the north is
about - eeet high. Thus the
weather Q most suspicious, and
the position .. Ie vessel at exactly a
certain point in order to make the
view possible. Indeed, the Suez chart
says: None Of the Sea of Suez, cx
cept very small portio.a about Hum
mum bluff, can be seen from Mount
Sinai" The converse inference is OBJ
vious. In view of the num-
Der of well-meaning travellers
who have made this voyage in the
past, AID calmly told their friends
afterward how Sinai looks" l am
very sorry to have to make such dis
heartening revelations. But there IS
this comfort, the others who have
gone before" have had the satisfac
ton along with myself of seeing
where Sinai is and viewing the sur
rounding peaks. The Trip TO Sinai
may be made over desolate mountains
by camels There is Greek monas-
terry about 3, 600 feet from the summit.
where travellers are entertained with
great hospitality. From the dreary
nature of the country as seen from
the ship, would not advise any one
to make the trip. Even the few date
palms cultivated by the monks are
watered with a bitter, biackish water.

TELEPHONE TEST.
Conversation Carried on a Distance of
Twelve Hundred Miles.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

The telephone has become such a
necessary part of the business machln-
cry of the world that any improve
ments tending to its more perfect
operation are watched in their de-
velopments with interest. One of
the great faults with telephones has
been the induction between wires on
different circuits near each other, by
which persons talking over different
lines could hear each other.
Yesterday afternoon a test of new
transmitter was made over the wires
of the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph
Company. An instrument was placed
in the operating groom and one in the
cellar. These instruments were Goa
nected by a wire forming a circuit
from the instrument in the operating
room to Chillicothe and back to the
instrument in the cellar This made
a distance of almost 200 miles. Over
this length of line the voice of per-
son talking could be heard very dis
tinctly, even when speaking in so low
tone that another person standing
a few feet from the person talking
could not hear what was said. A line
was aext formed to Grafton, Va, a
distance of 600 miles. and then TO
Baltimore, Md. a distance of 1900
miles, and then there was no per-
ceptible change in the distinctness
with which tie voice could be heard
or the words understood. 1t was
very severe test, yet it was demon
strated that with this transmitter
persons hundreds of miles apart can
carry on conversations intelligibly.
While tha test was being made the
thirteen or fourteen telegraph wires
were in operation, yet there was no
apparent induction; the instruments
could not be heard, as they can fire.
quently be heard in this city, where
the telephone and telegraph wires are
near each other. This difficulty, it is
claimed, is overcome by the formation
of the carbons of the transmitter so
that there is air constantly between
them, and when they vibrate while
speaking into them the current is
opened and closed perfectly, as with a
telegraph instrument.
