When the Wires Are Crowded.

The only thing that saved the immense
volume of telegraphic business which is
daily transmitted over the wires be-
tween this city and Chicago during the
recent widespread storm, said Acting
Wire Chief Mitchell, of the Western
Union Company, was single little
Geographic instrument invented in
England, called the "Wheatstone. !"
The Wheatstone is a duplex machine
which the telegraph people refer to
irreverently as the "old milP' because it
can grind out such an everlasting amount
Of copy" An expert telegraph
slender" can transmit forty words u
minute The old mill can do ten times
as much and keep it up indefinitely.
All that is necessary to do is to take the
dispatches which are TO be sent and
give them to a man who takes punch
and cuts dashes and dots and spaces
into a strip of paper to represent the
letters of the message to be transmitted.
When he gets through this operation the
perforated strip looks not unlike asheet
OF Orgulnette music, only 1t is not SO
wide. When several thousand words
have been properly prepared the strip
of perforated paper is fed into the
mouth of the old mill, and the message
is ground out at the other end of the
line at the rate OF 400 ~ OrdS minute.
The machine works mechanically and

The White House Plate.

Mrs. Harrison is the only Presidents
wife who has made an inventory of the
furniture of the White House, and she
believes that all Of it's fine old articles
have a historic value and that they
should be preserved. Since the White
House was opened by Mrs. John Adams
more than $500, 600 have been spent fo1
furniture, and the amount of belong

President Monroe. The shapes of these
articles are curious and beautiful
There are two soup tureens with covers
and these tureens are affixed to large
Oval-shaped, flat -bottomed stands
which spread out beneath them like
walters. There are silver cake baskets
silver gravy boats, solid silver coffee
and tea urns, and there are fine cut
glass claret jugs with silver tops.
One of the most curious pieces of the
White House silver service is the silver
Hiawatha boat, which was bought al
the Centennial Exposition Of 1876
This is used at most of the state din
ners, and is always filled with flowers
Here are also the gold spoons and forks
which were bought by President Var
Buren,, and which formed a campaign
issue when President Harrison's grand
father ran against and beat him. The
glass also is very fine, and it takes {
great deal of it for the wines which are
used at the state dinners.
A great deal of the glass was manu-
featured in this country, and New
York firm made fifty dozen pieces a
ordered early during Cleveland's term
and some of the articles have an Amer
lean eagle cut upon them.
