Real Turkish Candy.

There is peculiar story in relation to
the large. creamy looking blocks of candy
that have been peddled around the streets
for the last month or SO, and a story, too,
With a romance.
Several months ago Turk strolled into
an uptown confectionery and made some
purchases in the candy line. He re-
marked after eating a few that the flavor
was pretty good, but far inferior to a
certain connection known to his country
men. The proprietor began to grow in
terested, and before the Turk had left
agreed to employ two of his cousins, who
were candy makers in Turkey, if he (the
Turk would import them. Some two
months later the Turks arrived on the
the steamship Helvetia. By relating some
wonderful yarns of their abilities as
candy makers the emigration commits
sioners allowed them to pass, although
they had doubts as to whether or not they
were contract labor
They went to the confectioner and for
several weeks made ''real Turkish candy"
OH a salary. Two weeks ago they
'!struck'' for higher wages, and not get
ting them left in a huff. They hired a
little place over on the east side and put
out gaudy business sign.-New York

drawer" connecting his feet by piece
of rope, swarms up the smooth trunk of
the tree with which he intends common
cling operations, and,s having reached the
lofty summit, he empties the contents of
the chatty into a vessel attached to his
waist. In order to save himself the ia
tigue of descending each tree and ascend
ing the next in succession, he passes from
one to another by means of two ropes on
one of which his bare feet rest. while
with his hands he holds on to the other.
These ropes in course of time become
untrustworthy from exposure to weather,
and have to be occasionally changed.
But too often the unfortunate rope
walker, grown careless by long inmun-
ity from accident, neglects to renew his
perilous bridge, and the swapping of
either rope causes his death. Were the
lower rope to break, there might still be
hope of clinging to the other. and SO
working his way along; but should the
upper one break, obviously there is little
chance of his saving himself, even though
the 9th remained sound. From this
comes the proverb: IF the supporting
rope breaks ones mainstay is gone. -

An Interestinr Ex,eriment,

A highly interesting as well as instruc-
tive experiment in night signaling at sea
will be tried at the first favorable oppor-
tunity. The new method is one suggest
ed by Mr.. Edison. 1t consists in throwing
the rays of the electric light on the
clouds. The clouds, thus acting as re-
Electors, permit the flashes of the E,sht
being seen at q very great distance. The
regular system of flashes of different
lengths can be utilized in this manner by
corresponding tlc..l with the dashes ard
dots of the reS1:.. : srnly and navy code
of telegraphy. Tits system could be used
to great advantage where the means usu-
ally employed would be inadequate and
unreliable. The present manner of send
ing messages at night between different
vessels consists of the common torch,
which is used in the same manner as the
"wig wag" flag in daytime. Newport

Long Distance Te1ephoning.

Long distance telephoning has become
such an accomplished fact that at the
principal pay telephone stations in this
city long distance telephones have re-
placed the ordinary telephones, and con-
nection can now be made with Boston
and Philadelphia. H. L. Stoddard, the
New York correspondent of The Philadel-
rhia Press, says that at his Office in this
city he has secured connection with his
Office in Philadelphia by a long distance
telephone, over which he nightly trans
mits all his news instead of using tele-
graph service. The Philadelphia News
has a similar telephone connection with
this city. The distance from New York
to Philadelphia is ninety five miles, but
the sound of the voice is transmitted
much more clearly than by telephone in
this city, where the induction caused by
the enormous number of wires covering
the city closely is SO great as to seriously
disturb transmission. The use of the tele-
phone in the sending of news has not
been sufficiently tested to compare it
thoroughly with Geographic service, but
Mr.. Stoddard says that it has many adj
vantages, and predicts that it will come
into general use.-New York Tribune.

One of the most beautiful of modern
inventions 1t remains toln seen whether

is about the size of AM ordinary dispatch

of stylographic pen. This, however, is
not a pen, but the handle of the sstrans-

light brass perpendicular bar. Any mo-
ton given by the hand you hold it just
like a pen-to the handle Of the trans
,mitter is communicated by this bar to
two series Of carbon disks contained
within the box and, after various adj
ventures among magnets, ETC., is carried
again to the top of the box, where it is
reproduced exactly by small ink hold
ing pen, whose point rests on white
paper tape. Aclockwork apparatus pulls
this tape along at n gentle pace, and after
q little practice you find that il is quite

Nearly $4,000 Miles of New Railway Laid
During the Year 1887.
CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-The Railway Age
says: The year 1887 has surpassed all
other years in the extent Of railway mile
age construction in the United States
Our returns show that during 1887 IL, 724
miles of new main line track were added
to the railway system OF the United
States. ~ Is
A recapitulation Of the construction Of
the different sections of the country
shows that the greater part of this pro-
digious increase in railways has taken
place in few Western states The North
western states, including Michigan, nli-
nois, Iowa and Minnesota, have shown
very considerable activity, but. the
great rush of railway building has been
in the central belt west of the Missouri
river. Four states and two ter
ritories namely, Kansas, Texas, Ne
-braska, Colorado, Dakota and
Montana, together show an addition Of
over Z, 400 miles, or about one-haf of the
entire years mileage Of the county. The
railway mileage of the United States at
the commencement OF 1887 was stated to
be 49,, 1856 miles. The extensions for the

Tis evening and the dreamy chime

In sad response my heart beats time:
A year today
They laid away
On distant shore my love so dear.
The joyous lark has gone to rest,
The suns last glow fades on the sky
So would hush within my breast
The strains SO low
or long ago,
Caught from my love in DAYS gone by.
Oh, vesper bells, so low, 50 sad,
Your troubled chime cannot bear;
Those minor chords viii drive me mad.
Hush, implore.
