Gilt Edred

The operators were famous sender and
a man who is now court stenographer in
Bangor, Me-, and the transmission of the
presidents message from New York for
the Bangor papers was the occasion.
When the sender got down to business
the sounder battered like rain on a tin
roof. But after awhile, as he warmed up,
the sounder ceased to click, hummed like
the BURR of a dynamo and then ceased.
The signals were coming so fast they could
not record. The receiver thought for a
moment, flshed quarter from his pocket,
disconnected the wires from the sounder,
tied one around the quarter and laid the
coin on his tongue. Then taking the other
wire between the fingers of his left hand
he picked up his stylus and went on copy
ing the message, and in a remarkably short
time he got 80" which means "All
through; good night"
He got the message because his tongue
was much more sensitive than the sound
err He received a rapid succession of
shocks which the sounder could not re-
cord, and he, being a star operator, read
them with ease, and as he was practicing
shorthand at the time he put the message
down in stenography.
One little point to explain is what hap
pened while he was joining his tongue into
circuit. The story explains that a jam of
signals was on the wire near Portland,
caused by the characters coming so fast
that they were wedged against the insu.
lators. After n few seconds the jam broke
and the characters flowed right on. little
Jumped together, but the receiver got them
without break.-Electrical Age

Systematic Medical Inspection.

Investigation shows that of late years
Germany, France and England all exhibit
a decline in rates of mortality, owing to
the thorough system of medical super
vision some time ago inaugurated. The
entire territory of Great Britain, including
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, is
completely divided into subdistricts, each
division being under the care of health
official, who has full control of all sanitary
matters in his district, with authority to
isolate cases of diphtheria, scarlet fever,
measles and other contagious diseases.
Again, several small towns in district
club together and build hospitals for con-
tagious diseases, where children are taken
and cared for These hospitals are con-
Quoted in the most practical and humane
manner, so that in cases requiring moth
er's care wards are provided where mother
and child can be together isolated from the
others and the outside world, instead of, as
in American cities in some cases, the par
ent not only being forbidden to be with
the child, but even deprived of the priv
lege of seeing it.-New York Tribune.

A Terrible Revelation.

NJ. Sarcey, it seems, was at one time very
shortsighted, but a successful operation
made him longsighted to an extraordinary
degree. This restoration of his sight was
not altogether an unmiXed blessing For
the first time since his childhood he could
see things at a distance. His home, that he
thought so fine, was found to be neglected
and dirty; his precious china was clipped
and cracked; his books were soiled and
torn. But the crowning blow came when
a grand luncheon was given to celebrate
the restoration of the critics sight.
Women were invited in great number,
and came in their very best. The Comedie-
Franchise, the Vaudeville the Odeon, were
represented by their fairest ones, and the
table was sight for the gods'-at least
Sarcey would have thought so six weeks
before.
But very soon his countenance fell. and
/ saw his eye wandering about in astonish-
ment-aye, in distress. He laughed no
more and looked miserable After the
coffee he made sign to me and followed
him up stairs, believing him to have been
disturbed by the thought of some work
which ought to be done at once. But he
threw himself heavily on the sofa, which
groaned as if sharing its masters despair,
and exclaimed piteously: Good heavensl
Why they are all rights! They are all
dyed, painted, wrinkled, scraggyi Oh, mes
bellies aimes, what has become of them ?"

A. Incident a. an African Reception.

DE-. Peters narrates a curious story of
the killing of two natives by Lieutenant
Tiedemann, not far from Victoria NyanZa.
The white expedition had been received
with much hospitality by Wachore an i'm
portant sultan, who invited Peters and
Tiedemann to his audience hall where, sur
rounded by his chiefs and women, he
received them. Toimpress his guests with
his power, he had on hand large collec-
ton of the weapons used by his warriors,
including a considerable number of rifles
and other guns. Among them was Mar
TIM rifle, which Wachore handed to Peters
to examine Peters. after examining the
weapon, turned it over to Tiedemann, who
discharged it accidentally. The ball passed
through the head of one of the men in
attendance, killing him instantly, and
struck the throat of man who was behind
him and wounded him so severely that he
bled to death in a few minutes
Peters endeavored to apologize for the
fearful accident
MY friend, he said, sis overwhelmed
with grief. He did not know that the gun
was loaded and he was not even trying to
fire it. | think he is not to blame"
The sultan, much to the surprise of the
white men, burst out laughing. "Oh, it is
nOUhlnS, ne SAID, they re only slaves.
1t is no matter whatever. Besides, it was
not your friend but the gun that was to
blame Your friend has done nothing
wrong at all"
The women echoed the words of their
master. They said it was nothing and
they tried to make merry, although Peters
thought their laughter was little forced
Some men bore the bodies out of the hall
They SDrin K led sand over the DOolS of blood
and brought in another bucketful of banana
wine, with which the king and his guests
RECALLED themselves after the tragical spec
tacle. Peters said it was good deal like
the accidental breaking of vase by a
guest in a European drawing room and
the host and hostess endeavoring to relieve
embarrassment and asserting that the in
cident was of no consequence.-New York

The new fish house OF w. j. Chap
man was blown OIL the piling and II was
job OF very short duration for tho

A two story building being erected by
Bahtgens and Smith and which was not
completed was blown OFF the blocks and
lOOsened up.
The ice factory just finished was so
warped as TO be rendered useless. One
OF the side sheds was completely torn
away.
The injured vessels are the ouaran-
tine sloop Matte, William Moore, cap
tain, which was driven ashore; the
sloep Olga, Robert Paryote, cap
tain. lost her rudder and the bottom
was injured. The sloop Flirt, Covano

battered. The schooner Loui sa Con-
stantine, Demetie, captain. had her
