The United states Signal Service

"Jerome w." of Napoleon, O., wants to know how to enter the signal service, and what the chances are af- ter he succeeds.
 A young man who desires to enter the signal service must make applica- tion to the chief of the bureau at Washington. His application will be duly filed and he will be sent print ed list of questions to be answered This may be called a preliminary ex- animation. He must return the list, accompanied by an affidavit that he had no assistance in answering the questions.
 Official examinations are held in Washington in January and July, and all applicants must appear there If such examination is passed success fully their names will be entered upon register, and as fast as vacancies oc- cur they will be filled from the passed candidates.
 This is the routine and official way, but influence" can be brought to bear upon this department ss well as all others.
 Upon being accepted by the service the young man must regularly enlist, agreeing to serve the government for five years. He is then sent to Fort Meyers, Va-just across the Potomac from Washington-where he lives the life of soldier, cadet and student-all in one-for six months. He is under strict military discipline, wears uni form, and has only soldiers ratlons, and is instructed in the subject he has taken up. As to the work, after he has been appointed to a station, it is very light while the pay is very fair. The position is one of considerable trust and responsibility, and In case of North Pole expeditions or other extra ordinary service certain number from the signal corps are drafted to go along. The station in Detroit, Buffalo, Rochester and cities of that size are in charge of Sergeants. assisted by at least one man, and the salary is equal to at least $20 per week.
 A report from Washington in Jan uary showed over 100 candidates on the list, to be examined that month, with not over two or three vacancies to be filled, so you will see that 1t is 2 service which does not lack for re cruits-M. Quad tn Free Press.

Round Robins.

The "round robin" is a novelty in this country, but in former days it was frequently used in the British navy, where petitions and complaints from the sailors were written in this manner in order to protect any of the signers from being considered a ring leader. The names are placed In a circle inclosing the request, which in the above instance is highly reasonable and should succeed. The most noted round robin in exlstance is that presen- ted by the literati of London to Dr. Johnson in reference to his epltaph on Goldsmith, one important objection be- ing that the latter was written in Lat in. The paper was drawn up by Ed mund Burke, and begins thus: "We the oircumScriberS," etc. The "cir- cumscribers" include Gibbon, Burke, warton, Colman, Sheridan, Sir Joshua Reynolds and other distinguished men, and yet they failed. The reply of tho Cerebus of literature was that ho "would never disgrace the walls of Westminster abbey with an English inscription" Johnson afterward learn ed the name of the author of this fa- nous round robin, on which his only comment was: q did not think that man Burke was such fool" It ia hardly necessary to add that the Lat in epitaph still remains, ,--zrog Ttmes.

In a recent lecture Mir. F. 4. Gowef asked the question, Could armies, forts and arsenals be seriously assailed from that quarter in which attack was not now expected-the air above? His belief, from four years of study and observation, was in the affirmatiye.a and as & means to that end he proposed simply to transfer to the upper levels the general plan of torpedo warfare, upon a larger scale and with its efrec- tive range indefinitely extended. The term lair tsrppdoos," 1" did nut rqaits-de- scribe his system. and he had used rather the term ''air battery to de- scribe the force he proposed should be used in aerial warfare. He suggested that by the means of aerostats explo- sions of 100 pound shells of gun cot ton might be arranged oveI the enemy's position. Summarizing his proposals, the lecturer said: "In brief, propose to you a warfare by gun cotton and hydrogen, to make the loss of an army result of its meeting an opposing wind, to destroy the security of forti- fled positions, and finally to show, upon the simplest principles of self-preser- vation, that nations must keep peace and great armies be disbanded."

The Extent of Human Travel.

The movement of persons has un dergone quite as important growth as that of goods. In the Review of the Worlds Economy" the number of passengers carried by all the railroads in all parts of the world, in 1882, is estimated at 2, 400, 100000, or an aver age of six and half million, day. The absolute number of passengers carried on steamers is smaller but here, as was also the case with goods, they are carried longer distances, and more days journeys, than on railroads; so that, estimated by the mile or the day, the amount both of freight and passenger work the steamers do will appear to much better advantage.
 The significance of the facilitation of passenger transportation is derived principally from its effects on social conditions, civilization, and customs. One of the most important of these effects is illustrated in emigration, which has assumed grand dimensions under the operation of the new methods of communication. Of the twelve and half million emigrants who went to the United States be- tween the recognition of their inde- pendence and 1883, not more than a million belong to the time previous to the establishment of regular passen- ger communication by steamer with Europe, about 1844. As a result of the establishment of this method of communication, and of the building of the railroads that opened the Miss issippi Valley and the western part of the continent, emigration assumed colossal proportions. Besides the ame- Iteration of the voyage, which has be- come an affair of not more than ten or twelve days for emigrant vessels, the improved fare, the cheaper rate of pas sage, and the punctuality and in- creased safety of the transit, may be marked as circumstances and contrib uting to this result.-PopuEar Science l MouthlU.

A Novel Dellcacy.

Among the products. more or less Chinese, which, since the hostilities with France, have found their way back to Paris, the trepang, or sea-cucumber,. is the most remarkable. The trepang is probably the most extraordinary fish which lives in the sea, and there Is just now a great demand for it among the Parisian gOurmets. The trepang indeed, is one of the latest Paris fash ions. From its habits the very idea of the trepang is repulsive, but its flesh is delicate, and it produces soup which many people esteem equal to turtle. The scientific name of the tre- pang is Holothurtu ed,ttiS, and, In ap- pearance, it is something like a long snail traversed from one end to the other by digestive tube. The crea- ture, indeed, is more like a stomach than anything else. It walks upon hollow tentacular feet, which, when it moves along its native rocks, act as suckers The trepang possesses the extraordinary faculty of ejecting, when frightened or irritated, the entire con- tents of its body-even to the teeth. What, however, is more extraordinary still, is that when the organs have been ejeeted they presently reproduce themselves. Another not less extra ordinary faculty Is that of spontan- eous subdivision. When it Is hungry and cannot find food to nurture the whole of it's body, the animal snaps in the middle, and two perfect sea-cucum- bers are produced where before there was but one. So great delicacy is the trepang esteemed by the Chinese that some thousands of junks are occu- pied in fshing for them. The Chin csc seas are exceedingly limpid, and the Malay fishermen can observe the animal sticking to the rock at great depth. They are transfxed by a kind of harpoon fixed to long DamDoo; but in shallow water they are taken by divers. Immediately the boats re- turn to the shore the creature is thrown alive into a cauldron and boiled in sea water. After being cleaned they are smoked or dried in the sun. The usual price for tre- bangs ready for consumption is seventy pounds per ton. They are mainly used for soup, but in China are sometimes eaten like ordinary fish. The Parisian rt0eurS who have lately been. expert menting upon trepang-soup say that it possesses much of the exquisite fla vor of the cray-ish.

Queer Corean Customs.

The primitive sackcloth is still the mourning raiment of the Coreans. During a visit paid by the squadron under the command of Admiral Willes to ports on the east coast of Corea, the officials were wearing ''grayish hem pen garments" which, in that country, denote mourning, and the admiral was informed that the whole nation had gone into mourning for year for the Queen, who had died in consequence of the shock to her feelings caused by the proceedings of the rioters at Seoul In the matter of dress generally the Coreans are favorably spoken of, near ly every one being decently dressedi and real well-dressed Corean, in his broad hat and whltest robes, is said to have an eminently respectable and well-to-do appearance. Their towns, however, offer a distinct contrast, sanitary science being little under stood, and architecture not having got beyond a rudimentary stage; but in one respect they seem to be ahead of the West The smoke from the fires is made to pass in ilues underneath the rest of the house, and although the chimney is projected in an incongru- ous way into the streets, the whole building is comfortably warmed by a limited expenditure of fuel.

Care Of Children

Up to the age of fourteen to sixteen years the most important thing for the interest of the child is physical and mental development, as an equip ment or capital in future life. The child should have the opportunity to grow in bodily stature and strength. It is poor economy in the end to suffer physical growth to be stunted by un- healthy or unnaturally prolonged em- ployments, which the undeveloped phy- sical system of children cannot safely endure. Looked at from a purely eco. nomical standpoint, overwork for chil- dren is on the average to reduce the sum total of efficiency during life; from the humanita rian standpoint the argument is still more conclusive. The child is not a free agent In many cases he cannot consult his own feel ings and interests. He is liable to be overworked through the cupidity of unnatural parents. He should be pro- tected by the law A

The Evolution of the Arm.Chair.

The transition from the arm chair to the easy chair was not made all at once:s When men and women wanted real repose, they formerly found it in divans. couches, sofas, and, what in Shakspeare's time were somewhat re- proachfully called "day-beds." A loose cushion was made for wooden chairs, and it was sometimes placed upon, at other times underneath, a richly embroidered cloth or an an- imal's skin. It is doubtful whether for many hundred years, the easy chairs of Western Europe were any thing more elaborate. The fixed seat and padded back and arms did not come into use in England until Queen EliZabeth's time. An arm chair was, in fact, an article of costly luxury, and sometimes of reproach,

A Young Mnn's Fortune.

Every young man has fortune in the fact of his youth, says a college president. The energy of youth is un- blunted by defeat or worn by hope de- ferred. With age one becomes more conservative, and looks at as impossi- ble what younger person would en- deavor to accomplish, in many cases. with success. The effort, even if there be a failure, is grand success. Self confidence, or self conceit, if you wish to call it so, is great thing. A young mans fortune is not to be found in in- herited wealth or social position. Gra- cious manners of business habits are good things to cultivate, but are not all. Will power is the young mans fortune. It is the essence of the man. A young man with only little will power is foregone failure. It should be cultivated. Genius is a gift of God, and should not cause pride, but an honest pursuit of duties is an exhi- bition of will power. and is something to be proud of. We'll directed. educa- ted will power is what young man needs,
