Relics of the Telegraph.

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany is endeavoring to secure, for ex-
hibition at the Worlds Fair, the slip
bearing the first message sent by
Morse telegraph as it actually was re-
corded by the instrument.
Another Geographic relic Of the
same nature which should be exhibited
at the Worlds Fair can probably be OBJ
tanned from the Duke of Wellington.
This is the original slip of the first
message that was sent from one country
to another through a wire laid under
the sea. Such relic, in the light OF
the wonderful development of subma-
rine telegraphy, certainly equals i'll his
torical interest the first message sent by
Morse's telegraph. Early in the year
1850 the first submarine cable was LAID
between England and France. The
cable consisted merely of an insulated
wire without any external protection,
and it was hastily made and laid SO that
telegraph communication between the
two countries might be established,
even if only for few hours, in order to
save the franchise, which was about to
expire. Mr.. F. {. Webb, the veteran
submarine cable engineer, was then q
midshipman in the royal navy, and his
ship being anchored oft Dover when
the tug started to lay the cable toward
Calais, he secured permission to accom-
pany the expedition. The wire was
laid down without mishap, leaden
weights being attached to it at intervals
to sink it to the bottom.
When the instruments were con-
nected up it was found that the cable
answered its purpose admirably, and
the tape soon began to flow forth at the
receiving end. Those in charge Of the
line were about to destroy the slip, but
Mr.. Webb, being of an archaeological
turn of mind, and foreseeing that one
day such relic would have great his
torical interest, carefully folded up the
piece bearing the first message and la
beled it for preservation. The cable
only lasted few hours, as on the fol
lowing day French fisherman picked
it up with his anchor and straightWay
Oh opped it in two.
The famous Duke of Wellington was
at that time lord warden of the
cinque ports, and was residing at Wal
mer Castle, near Dover. During visit
to the Commander of Mr.. Webb's ship,
the Iron Duke heard of the relic which
Mr.. Webb had secured and expressed
some interest in it, and the result was
that the relic changed hands, Mr..
Webb making a present Of it to the
Duke.
1t is we'll known that the famous gem
eral preserved his papers and other
possessions in the most systematic man
ner. and it is probable that the present
Duke of Wellington will be able to find
the message, and would no doubt lend
it for exhibition at the Worlds Fair, if
asked to do Electricity.

You know all this-at least you feel it.
When baby is plump you are as happy as
he is. Keep him so.
But what if the fat is not there? Poor
baby. we must get it there. To be thin
for baby, is to lose what belongs to him.
