Two Mhistlers Called nnun.

NhiStling is sometimes an accomplish
ment but oftener nuisance Two young
men of Newark, n. j., doubtless wish at
present that they had never learned 70
pucker their bps for the emission of shrill
and unmusical sounds. They were fined
five dollars each the other day fer whistling
at a girl who walked ahead OF them On
Broad street.
One was Charles Reuter- of u Freynng-
huysen avenue, and his companion WIS

Police Captain Corbets rem onstrated with

It is said that Boston capitalists are to
construct an electric lighting plant and an
electric railway ut Dayton, Tenn.
The Michigan penitentiary has a class of
fifteen in telegraphy, originated by one Of
the prisoners. Each convict purchased his
own instrument by working overtime.
DR.. Preece, who is electrician Of the Lon
don and Paris Telephone company, is said
TO have succeeded in establishing commu-
nication across the Solent to the Isle of
Wight, and telegraphed, also, across the
Severn without wires, merely using earth
plates at sufficient distance apart.
A direct acting electric elevator is among
the latest electric novelties. The motor is
suspended beneath the car and is equiv
alent to about 81 horse power, while the
movements of the car are easily controlled
by switches. Should any accident happen
to the machinery the gear wheels are au-
tomatically locked and the car stops.
One of the latest applications Of cleo
tricity is that of machine for drilling
holes in boilers, In the sides OF iron vessels,
and in other places where iron or steel is the
material to be worked upon. The machine
has its own holding on magnets, and il may
be swung over the side of ship OF placed
on the surface of boiler, where It will
stick without the necessity of clamping.
A German electrician, Herr Gulcher, has
made a themo-electric battery giving a
power equivalent TO los per cent of the
hest employed, and hopes to exhibit at the
Frankfort exposition battery which viii
yield at least 5 per cent. net effect. With
an economical source of heat this inventor
believes that his thermo-electric battery
will even excel the dynamo machine IN
efficiency.

In the phraseology Of this part Of the
world, am up in the FOUNTAINS" That
means that am twelve miles east of So
nora, the county seat of Tuolumne, and
1900 feet higher in air than said county
seat This is the last place on the Sonora
and Mono road. The next place is 100
miles distant, in the state of Nevada, and
at the date of my writing inaccessible to
man or beast by reason of the vast drifts
of snow piled in the mountain passes far
ther up. Some of the mountaineers think
this snow may remain all summer. Here
we are out of the reach Of railroads and
telegraphs. A team or horseman passing
by is an event, and every one goes to the
door to look at such event. The place
consists of a hotel, a store, a postoffice,
five barns two corrals and three families,
exclusive of the tavern occupants. The

TWO COLLEGE PRESIDENTS.
Each Is Quite Young, and Both Have
EnviabIe Records.

Each Is Quite Young, and Both Have
Enviable Records.
Decidedly the youngest college president
In America, and probably the youngest in
the world, is President A. K. Turner, of
the Cumberland Presbyterian college, at
Lincoln, Neb. This Institution was first
opened for students in 1866, and has had
four presidents Mr.. Turner the last. He
was born in 1862, entered the institution of
which he is president at the age of fifteen
graduated in 1881, was principal of Ash
more Qlls.) seminary for three years, and
then became professor Of natural sciences
at Lincoln. In 1888, when lacking some
weeks of twenty-eight years, he was made
president. The institution has flourished
under his CONTROL and now, at the age of
twenty-nine, he holds an honorable place
among educators.
Another youthful professor, whose work
is yet to come, however, is DR.. William
Rainey Harper, who was unanimously
elected president of the University of
Chicago at the first meeting Of the trustees
after their board was incorporated. He
was born in New Concord, Muskingum
county, O., July 26, 1856, entered the Musk
ingum college at ten, and took his degree

fact was soon followed by intelligence of

The cynic,s solution . Good One.

Philosophers, according to the latest de-
vices, have not been able TO decide what
would be the fate Of q donkey placed ex-
actly midway between two hayricks. As
there Is clearly no reason why he should
choose one rick rather than the other, it is
presumed that, logically, he would starYe
TO death.
The cynic's reply to this proposition
may. perhaps. be as good as any that could
be found-that is, that the philosopher
who wastes time over such question
ought TO solve it by actual experience
