No living thing, except very small
species of jelly-fish, can survive in it. The

lONG-DlSTANCE LAUGHTER.


Gates Ills ulrth.
Did you ever laugh by telegraph?
Probably not. 1t would hardly pay.
When one reflects that It would cost a
cent or two per chuckle to express his
sense of amusement, he rcfrains from
manifesting it and lets it go.
But laughing is done by telegraph.
It is the telegraph operators who in
dulge in this luxury, and mostly the
night operators, who have more time
than the day people. When an operator
becomes lonely and his saunders are
clicking out messages not intended for
him, he calls up some friend operator,
maybe q hundred squares away, and
opens conversation.
A conversation, of course, cannot be
continued long before something fun
ny" is said. 1t then becomes the duty
Of the operator to laugh. This he does
by making four dots, then one dot and
a dash, thus: -. -, spelling ha.
Thus to all joles he replies IA. IA
Sometimes, TO make it easier, he says
hi. that is, foar dots and two dots.
The laugh by telegraph is necessarily
cold ard sardoric. It does not bubble
irresistibly to the surface. 1t is the re-
suit of deliberate purpose. When one
has sufficient self-control to laugh in
this way, probably his tribute to your
joke is not what you would desire. But
the operator is often shaken with
laughter before shaking his key with it,
so TO speak.
Telegraph operators have few other
conversational expressions, among
them "hm," four dots and two dashes.
indicating surprise. - Indianapolis

j. OF Michigan:
GESrLEMES:-I notice in your com.
muaicatlon in the Evening Leader OF

any more than l ought for doing the

ing and ventilation flues. as you are all

lar brick work ! did for q good deal
.es.
Nevertheless il is in bad taste for an or
ganization OF journeymen masons like
yours, whose members received about
tive thousand dollars for their labor on
that JOB, to throw up any such slur as
that against n contractor who hired
none but union men and paid union
wages, viz: 40 cents per hour, and
worked nine hours per day. Then |
had TO figure against contractor who
got the dormitory building of said
soldiers Home, and paid $3.50 per day
for ten hours as days work, and
whose masons your union members tried
70 have leave their Job, but you did not
succeed. i must have been n good sort
of a contractor then, If l could figure
against outside contractors and get the
JOB at lower figures than they, and |
pay - cents per hour for nine hours as
days work.
When the contractors, Ward & Rus
sci, of Flint. got the other Soldiers
Home mason work and only paid 500
for ten hours as a DAYS work. And
those contractors could have done the
entire work OF the Soldiers Home on
the same terms as their men received
from them for what they did do.
think you ought 10 leave all such talk
as this one side. am not the man you
should have spoken TO IN this manner,
after what did with your union on
this job, as against unequal competi-
ton from outsiders who got their work
done for less money than did and re-
ceived the same pay you mentioned
that | got. SO you see what thanks
union contractors get for working IN
harmony with union men.
Be men, brothers. and look on. for
