Telegrsphing is enc of the greatest invsn.
tions OF mndsrn times. History Of the pas;
ages in the present times show no records
Of anything like it. There are references
to lightning IA the Bibls. Fer instance the
Sd verse Of the S7th shapter OF Job reads
"Ho direeteth it under the whole Heaven
and his lightning unto tho ends of the earth
A second chapter in job reads: "Cznsi
thou send lightnings thst thsy may GO and
in Psalms reads: "His lightnings eniight-
ened the world the earth saw and trem-
bled." Whether these verses have refer
enco t. electricity in the clouds NANTES:

TO the modern telegraph and cabls is q
