NO PRESSING EMERGENCY.

There is no pressing emergency demand
ing that a change from this custom shall be
made. and therefore no appointment IS
likely to be made until December. Not
withstanding the statements that Attorney
General Miller has been selected for the
place, it can be safely asserted that no ten
der Of the vacant justiceship has yet been
made to any one. The P esident has had
the matter under consideration ever since
the vacancy occurred, aud only to-day he
had talk with Judge Marston Of Michigan
about the appointment.

WALKER MUST GO TO.SEA
A NEW MAN 10 Be HEAD OF THE
BUREAU OF NAVIGATION.

Secretary Tracy Explains That the
Commodore Is Relieved Because he
Has Been Eight Years on Shore Duty
and the Secretary Does Not Care to
Set Precedent of Longer Service.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Secretary Tracy
has relieved Commodore John G. Walker
from the head of the bureau of navigation
of the navy department. The text of the
order is as follows:
SIR-You will proceed to the navy yard at
New York, confer with the commandant, and
hoist your flag ON board the Chicago as an act
ing rear admiral, commander in-chief of the
squadron of evolution. You viii prepare the

limits OF the European station. When you have
hoisted your nag you viii return 10 Washing

duties in the navy department
BENJAMIN F. Tracy,
Secretary Of the Navy.
WHY HE is RELIEVED.
Secretary Tracy says that the relief Of
Commodore Walker grew out of no per-
sonal or official differe ces between himself
and the commodore. The officer has been
eight years at the head of the navigation
bureau, and his time would soonIexpire. TIC
reappoint him for another term would mean
continuous service on shore and in the
department for twelve years, precedent
which the secretary does not dare to estab-
lish. The vessels which will be under Com
modore Walkers command are the pick of

The BuZzard I'm n Shirt.

Jerry Davis is the nalne Of littlo
boy. Last week no found dead
sheep, around which q number of buz-
yards were holding high carnival. He
determined upon catching one of the
buzzards, and at once built very
large trap. He baitcd it with the dead
sheep, and in very short time he had
captured buzzard.
He then took one of his shirts and
fitted it on to the buzzard, cutting Off the
sleeves and putting the birds wings
through the arm holes. He cut oil
the front tail of the shirt and scwcd
the garment firmly to the buzzard's
body, after which he liberated the
bird. The bird tapped his wings and
flew up into the air, the tail of the
shirt Huttering behind him as he flew.
About twenty-five crows followed
after the strange looking object and
the buzzard was pecked and Knocked
about IT terrible rate.
Three or four days afterward Jerry
found the buzzard a mile away, hud
died up against tree, dead. When
wash day came Jerry was called upon
for his shirt, and the story leaked out.
His father was so much amused that
he would not allow the boys mother
to whip him.-Atlanta journal.

New System of Telegraphy.

DR.. }. Harris Rogers. of Washing
ton, is responsible for new telegraph
invention, which will bc known as
visual synchronism. The discovery
consists OF method by which two
wheels, thousands Of miles apart, may
be kept revolving III perfect unison,
md the application consists in the
ability to print and transmit from one
wheel to another about $50 words a
minute. BY means of Il small instru-
mcnt with ten keys Il message is first
perforated on n tape. This tape runs
through telcgraphic instrument, and
the perforatious permit small steel fin
gers to make electrical connections
with an ordinary telegraph wire, which
in its turn connects with the receiver
on the other distant wheel, and influ-
CnccS ten magnCss provided with
curves and strokes, which combine to
form Roman letters in accordance with
the original pCrlor&tioms.
The two indicators or wheels which
actually form tho visual synchronism
give 500 revolutions Il minute, and
each revolution forms letter. This
gives about lIO words minute. The
Morse characters have to be inter.
