A method of sending a picture by tele-
graph has been invented by a Scotch
man, w. Gemmill. by which a photo
graph taken at one end of a wire is
transmitted and reproduced at the other.
The picture is primarily projected on a
selenium cell placed in the Photographic
circuit. which, according to the degree
of intensity of the light received, acts
upon the current. and through it a num-
Der of subsidiary currents connected
with an incandescent lamp, Illuminating
it with varied degrees of intensity N
sonant with the strength of the current.
"These SUGGEST e'illuminations accord
ing to The Photographic Times, would
give images of corresponding brightness
to the points in the picture thrown upon
the selenium cell, and the final picture,
of course, would consist of a series of
these points in various depths of shade"

In his recently published treatise on
the anthropoid apes, Professor Hartman
of the Berlin university tells n touching
story of a large monkey which belonged
to the Geological gardens of Dresden.

Schopf, director of the gardens. was Z
parsonage of polite manners. She wouNI
blow lier nose with n handkerchief. p1
on her own boots, wiring out the linen
steal keys and open locks. She had /
cup of tea every morning. and one OF
cocoa every evening, and at any time
would fill her own cup or tumbler with
out spilling a drop-suggesting at once
a sense of propriety and of appreciation
of the beverage. Her death was quite
pathetic. After some years experience
OF the Dresden climate she showed
symptoms of consumption; and, if una
BILE to realize the progress of the disease,
she was quite conscious when it was
drawing to n close. She would scarcely
allow her friend. DR.. Schopf. who nursed
her throughout her illness. to leave her
sight. When the end approached, feel
ing her forces ebbing, she threw her
arms around his neck. kissing him re-
peatedly, held out her hand to grasp his,
and fell back lifeless. -London Illus

THE BEeGARs OF PARIS.


The Aristocracy of the Mendicant World
Found In tho French Capital.
Next 10 the consierges, perhaps, the
beggars are the greatest n%uisances in
Paris. They have b en- augmented so
rapidly of late and becoming so aggres-
i've that the project of police-now that
the spirit is abroad has resolved to ex-
pei them. and has issued instructions to
police sergeants to get at the number
and conduct Of the fraternity in their
respective Districts. Just before they
receive the final coup de balai, the
Temps nave been entertaining its readers
with some sketches of their private
history.
These Partisan beggars may be looked
upon as the aristocrats of the mendicant
world. Begging has become a fine art
with them. They take to the streets
from choice rather than necessity. They
have got a sort of circular newspaper to
keep themselves posted in coming
events, and Systematically take different
beats. Rows of them may be seen at
church doors when a marriage or funeral
is on. and they hang around the doors Of
fashionable restaurants. The greatest
n%uisances among the gang are thos
who don't beg at all. There is an insti-
tuition for the manufacture and training
of this species. They play the role Of
distortionists Several joiners arc hept
at work in making small wooden carts.
slaves, and various contrivances for
them. Their object is to draw money
from the public by their piteous and ex-
cruciating positions, and not by s~olicita-
ton.
And. considering that many of them
are so palpably frauds. it says n good
deal for the gullibility of the Parisians
that they succeed. The culs-de- %jatte--
those who squeeze themselves into a sort
of wooden bowl and propel themselves
along the pavement with their hands
frequently combine the functions OF
thief with those of beggar, as they are
just a convenient height to reach ladies'
pockets. According to The Temps there
We're :, 1G5 bcggars arrested in Paris in
1884, and 4. 1873 in 1885. When arrested
they are first taken to a central police
station. where they are asked to give an
account of themselves Some are sent
to the hospital or to the depot of men
deity, others to their native depart
ments. and the worst offenders to the
police court. There is in Paris a privi-
legged or licensed class of beggars. The
police rave always hal power to deal
with others who on whatever pretense
receive aims. but the general liberation
allowed on fete days seems to have been
allowed on other days as well, until the
condition of the streets has become in
tolerable.-Paris Letter.

Much of the information supplied Mt
the meeting of the NJ roDOlitan drink
ing Fountain and Cattle Trough associa-
ton will, doubtless. be novel to most
people. All Londoners are conscious in
Il vague sort of way, of the existence in
their midst of troughs and fountains,
which are always in request; but few,
probably, stop to think or inquire how
they came there, or are aware how nu-
merous they are. and how largely they
are utilized. There are. 1t seems. in
London j6i fountains and 633 troughs,
and 1t is calculated that during the year
the former are used about $50. 000, 900
and the latter about 730, 900. 900 times.
About 200. 00D horses are supplied daily,
n single trough being often visited by
about 2 400 animals.
These figures will furnish some idea Of
the work which has been achieved by
the association, and give point also to
the remark that it is difficult to conceive
what can have beer the state of things

The tendency of cultivation is to in
crease the size of that portion of the
vegetable which is eaten by man. Gar
deners and farmers practice an artificial
selection which overrides natural selec-
ton. and preserves those characteristics
which are most useful to mankind in
stead of those which are of most value
to the plant itself. If a plant is in de-
mand for the beauty of its blossoms,
double flowers are soon developed by the
conversion of the stamens into petals
under the influence of high cultivation.
and the inability of the double blossoms
to set seed is overcame by the division of
roots, the planting of cuttings, and other
devices familiar to the horticulturist.
In a similar manner a plant which in
a feral state has a tap-root of moderate
size is converted into one which seems
to exist only in order to grow a tap-root.
and thus we get from the innocuous
tribe of crucifers our great turnips and
radishes, and from the more harmful
umbellifere our carrots and parsnips.
The noxious properties of a root are
much reduced by this increase of size.
There is first a dilution of the poisonous
principle-it is diffused throughout a
much larger quantity of matter than in
the wild root. and secondly, there is a
diminution in actual quantity through
growth under human care, sheltered in Q
garden from the encroachments of riva-
plants and the inroads of animal foes
