NOT A NEW IDEA.

A Suggestion of the Photograph in . Sew
enteenth Century Fable.
The idea of the magnetic telegraph is
said to be certainly three hundred years
old. But the photograph was believed
to be comparatively a new notion.
Mary Somerville, indeed, predicted that
before the end of the present century
we should probably possess means OF
recording and reproducing speech; but
the like connection turns out to be far
older than that
In the middle of the seventeenth cent
ury NJ. de Bergerac,a well-known French
writer Of his day, and a forerunner Of
Jules Verne, published fabulous &C.
count Of visit to the moon, which con-
tains IN account of two mechanical
books left in city of the moon by =
visitor from the sun. In opening one Of
these books the narrator states that he
found somewhat of metal almost like
to our clocks, full of know not what
little springs and imperceptible engines
1T was a book, indeed, but strange
and wonderful book that had neither
made wholly for the ears and not the
eyes, SO that when any body has a mind
to read it he winds up that machine
with great many little springs; then
he turns his hand to the chapter which
he desires to hear and straight as from
the mouth of man or musical instru-
ment proceed all the distinct and differ
ent sounds which the lunar grandees
make use of for expressing their
thoughts instead OF language. no
longer wondered that the young men Of
that country were more knowing at six
teen or eighteen years old than the gray
boards of our climate, for, knowing how
to read as soon as speak, they are never
without lectures"
A suggestion of the electric light is
also contained in the same work, where
one OF the characters appears with two
bowls On fire $50 sparkling that all won
dered he burnt not his fingers" The
philosopher of the sun who composed
one OF these speaking books is thus de-
scribed:
HE proves in it 1.-THE book that all
things are true, and shows the way OF
uniting physically the truths of every
contradiction; as, for example, that
white is black and black is white; that
one may be and may not be at the same
time. proving all these unheard-of para
doxes without any captious or sophistical
argument IN. Y. Times.

His Majesty, the ruler. leads by NO
means happy life, Notwithstanding his
income Of $40, 600, 600 year, and that he
has his wives by the score. His prede-
cessors lived in great palace on the
banks OF the Golden Horn, or rather Ct
the Bosphorus at the point where the
Horn commences. In front of this PAL
ace stands the yacht Of the Sultan. and
there is usually a gunboat or two sta
toned near by to guard it The last
Sultan woke one morning to 6Hd the
guns Of these ships sighted on the PAL
ace, and set OF Turkish rebels de-
manded his surrender. The present
Sultan has palace away back on the
hills The grounds which surround it
contain many acres, and there are watch
towers built here and there among
them. In these guards are stationed,
who keep the landscape ever before
their eyes, and who would at the least
hostile demonstration inform His Ma
iesty. he has thousands Of soldiers con-
neeted with his own body-guard, but he
trusts very few, and like one of the
former Sultans, he places implicit con-
6dence only in his mother. He has had
number of revolutions during his
reign, and if you look over the history
Of Turkey you will find that assassi-
nation is very common fate for Sui

He is sallow, nervous little maq. with

black eyes, which sparkle as they look
out under his red fez cap He wears a
suit OF black clothes, much like those OF
preacher, and his coat is buttoned
high at the throat He does not look
like healthy man, and there is more
timidity than braggadocio about his
bearing. 1t is said at Constantinople
that he dares not move about
unattended through the streets of the
Turkish quarter, and his home is on the
European side Of the water. When he
takes ride through his capital the
whole army at Constantinople turns OFT
to guard him. Yellow sand is sprinkled
over the road in order that his royal
bones be not jolted, and he has couple
of the most noted Of his Generals in the
carriage with him. am told that he is
really fond Of his subjects, notwithstand-
ing the dangers of his situation, and
that he would do much for the lettering
of his kingdom if it were not for the
plots and plotters which continually sur
round him. His situation is practically
the same as that of the other Asi3tic

EMPRESS FREDERICK.

Her Opinion Of Gustav FreytaE's Little
Work on Her Late Husband.
The Empress Frederick has, according
to uthe Berlin papers, delivered her
opinion on Gustav Freytag's new little
work on her late husband. Her
Majesty has, in the first place, pointed
out certain errors, especially in relation
to herself. She said, among other
things: Il was proud to be able to fol-
low the high fight Of his spirit, to I'M
derstand his plans, and to share in his
wishes We were one in thinking and
feeling. The words, he ordered every
thing according to her thoughts and
wishes, are decidedly incorrect In inn
portant questions the Emperor used to
ask my opinion. We exchanged views,
and he was glad to call me his
Geheimrathin' (privy counciloress),
who was versed in every thing, but he
never was unhappy or dissatisfied be-
cause l was Of another opinion than
himself
The Empress also objected with some
indignation to the passage which says
that ''She had come to her husband
from greater circumstances, richly
gifted, and that he had inspired his
pure and simple soul with the feeling
that what had taken visual shape with
in him was her work" Her Majesty
said: ut was he whose high-soaring
mind warmed me for all the ideals that
filled his heart It was he who worked,
practically sowing in my heart those
seeds which had already grown in his to
the most glorious development All
that has grown out of the harmless child
that he then took into his palace is his
work" On Freytag's certainly rather
curious remark that such domination
threatened to bring difficulties and con-
fict to the husband, the future ruler
of Prussia, Her Majesty sank into
deep reflection, and exclaimed:
''Such domination! l brought him
difficulties and conflicts? When
and where? Did I ever try to sub
ordinate his will to mine? The En-
peror was not man to yield to the do
minion Of his wife, even if-but must
read all that is written?" She pushed
the book aside and, stepping into win
dow recess, gazed long and mournfully
at Emperor Frederick's portrait hanging
there, and then left the room, unable to
speak further.
It is said that the Empress has pre-
fixed the following motto from Schiller's
Maid of Orleans to her copy of Frey
tags "Reminiscences" THE world loves
to blacken what is radiant, and to drag
the eminent down into the dust. I do
not mourn There are still noble hearts

rare. London Standards Berlin Cor

served He we1id make good lumber

breaker, which was as high praise rs
they could give, for in every lumber
camp good jam-breaker is held in high
esteem.
The sEllful breaker of the dangerous

was resolved that it should never be

After he had brought in the wood, and
made the fire in the large fireplace
blaze and roar in cheerful defiance OF
the storm outside, the boy sat down
among the men and listened to their
stories OF remarkable DAYS work done,
of the astonishing number of logs trailed
At one time by old Bill and Jenny, the
heaviest team at the camp; of the sur
prising skill of Jim Hamilton in telling
trees so that they would strike the
ground exactly where he wanted them,

and games the evening passed. and nine
