Why Cigars Arc Dangerous.

A celebrated European specialist for
diseases o. the throat, nose and car, as
serts that tuberculosis is making alarm
ing progress among our cigar smokers.
He does not attribute this to the use Of
tobacco but to the manner in which ci-
gars are manufactured Rolling the to-
bacco leaf is craft that requires neither
strength nor intelligence, consequently
in this branch of the operation it is usual
to find male and female operatives who
are weak and diseased, End who, in con-
sequence of their infirmities. are eco
nOmical employees. Most of these suffer
from scrofula or tuberculosis They
cough, and often give the finishing touch
to \ cigar with their lips.-Frank Los

otherwise, in the transmission OF the
above message. but it will serve as an
example OF the ambiguity of the modern
business telegram. Nine out OF ten Of
the messages passing to-day betwccn
business houses are SO abbreviated, so
full OF technical terms, as to DO an abb
solutely unknown language to any ono
outside the particular business con-
cerned
There is no occasion whatever to con-
denim this practice; indeed, the manifold
advantages secured by the use of abb
breviated or code kilograms, principally
as regards economy and secrecy, inn
measurably outweigh the disad vantages
of occasional MISUNDERSTANDING It
must, however, be admitted that slight
telegraphic blunder which would not af-
feet the sense OF plainly worded mes
sage, might entirely obscure or alter the
meaning of an abbreviated or ambigu-
Gus ONE. The person who despatched
the comforting assurance, made all
right" could not, of course, foresee tn e
that the failure of two little signals
would transform his message into tho
alarming statement mad all night" but
the economist who condensed the samo
meaning into the single word settled"
could not loudly complain that the mes
sage as delivered contained the unmean-
ing and somewhat irritating word met
tied"
The blunders of the telegraph arise
from more than one cause. In addition
to those produced by indistinct or illit-
crate writing, very large number arc
due To mechanical or electrical faults in
the apparatus or on the line. The Morse
code or alphabet, by means of which the
pulsations of the electric current are
read. is, as most people are aware, COM
posed of dots and dashes. or rather short
and long signals combinations of which
in different orders and quantities form
the letters of the alphabet. These sig
nails are liable to mutilation in three
ways: By failing" or the loss of q
signal; by sticking" or the running to-
gether of two signals; and by "split-
ting" or the breaking up of one signal.
into two or more. Teihustrate this, let
us take -the,(1etter r." which is ex-
pressed by dot, dash, and dot -.
BY the accidental omission of the first
or last dot, it would become either n,
or - A. By the running together of
two signals it would again, although not
perfectly, become N, or = A, whilo
the splitting up of the dash would trans
form it into H - When it is remem-
bered that all of these faults may be,
and occasionally are, present at the samo
time, the mystery of some Geographic
blunders is explained. Chambers Jour
