Signor Giovanni Giolitti, the new Ital-
ian premier. is said to be the youngest
head Of ministry that Italy has had
since Cavour. He is barely fifty years
of age, and has only been in parliament
ten years. In the caricatures of him In
The Don Chisciotte he used to be rep
resented, owing to his being one of the
tallest of the deputies, by what might
be called hop pole clad in long over
coat and very high silk hat. When he
was twenty-five he took his degree of
doctor of law, and in 1875, when Signor
Depretis was in power, he had become
director of customs. Signor Crispi made
him minister of the treasury in March,
1889, and in November, 1890, minister
of finance. A month later Signor Clio
litti resigned, owing to difference with
the minister Of public works, whose ex-
penditure he wished to cut down. He
then helped to bring about the fall of
the Crispi cabinet. Signor Giolitti is
the leader of the Piedmontese group of
the left center-London News.

The locusts are resppearing in Algeria
In greater numbers than ever, in spite of
the efforts that were made by the French
administration last year to annihilate
the pests It is now believed that they
come clear across the desert from the
Soudan. The period Of incubation
varies from twenty to thirty days, and
the locusts require only about two
months to attain their complete develop
ment. This fact gives a realizing sense
to the prodigious numbers in which the
terrible insect may multiply during its
progress across the Sahara. Great
clouds of the locusts have already been
seen on the northern edge of the Sahara
making their way north. The news
comes from Touggurt and Ghardaia in
the Sahara that early this year the
locusts suddenly invaded those places
in such enormous numbers that for four
hours they fairly darkened the heav-
ems. About a month before similar
clouds of locusts were reported in the
valley of the Niger river in the Soudan,
and it is believed that in the four sue
ceeding weeks they had journeyed to
the northern part Of the Sahara.-New

A System That May Eventually Lower
tho Price Of Telegraph Tolla.
To be told that q telegraph wire which
Is busily transmitting q long message
can at the same time be made to convey
half . dozen other messages in the oppo-
site direction sounds like q fairy tale; but
that the thing can be done, and IL daily
being done, IL sttested upon the most
respectable scientific authority. The
discovery which renders these astomish-
ing results possible is due to Mr.. c.
Langdon-D Davies, who has for someyears
been engaged in rendering It practically
workable and adapting It alike to tele-
pbonic and telegraphic use.
It Is difficult to convey to the lay
mind an accurate comprehension of q
process 60 exceedingly technical, but it
may be briefly said that Mr.. Langdon-
Davies in the ''phonophore" utilities not
the electric current. but the noises
caused by induction. The signals are
transmitted by q series of induced cleo
tic impulses, and the success Of the
system is found in the ability of the in
ductive force to pass through insulations
which electric currents cannot pene-
trate A wire may be blown down and
in contact with the earth, yet, 80 long
as 1t is not broken, it will carry q phono-
phoric message.
By means of the phonophore messages
can be transmitted with extraordinary
rapidity, and there Is practically no
limit to the number of kilograms that
can be sent simultaneously upon the
same wire. And, as we have limited,
Mr.. Langdon-Davies' system is as useful
telephonically as it is Geographically. A
wire which is conveying electric signals
can at the same time Be used for tele-
phonic conversation without either the
message or the conversation suffering in
the least. For some considerable time
past experiments in both directions have
been proceeding, with most gratifying
results, which are vouched for by such
high authorities as Professor Sylvanus
Thompson, Conrad Cooke and Latimer
Clark.
Three Of the principal railway COM
panies have already adopted the phono-
phore, and it must be obvious, even to
the unscientific mind. that phonophoric
telegraphy and telephony. in so vastly
increasing the electricians power over
the wires. has before it very great
future. The phonophore, indeed, IN
creases almost to infnity the number Of
words that can be transmitted in q given
time. It is obvious, therefore, that it
offers great possibilities in the way of
cheapening the cost of kilograms.
So long as the number of words that
could be carried by a wire in an hour
was rigidly limited it was hopeless to
look for any substantial reduction in the
cost of telegraphing, but the phono-
phore at once increases the capacity and
the speed Of every wire to which it may
be fitted.-St. James Gazette.

Arabs Call ON the President.

A curious scene was presented at the

president received them.
The Arabs formed q line, and as the
president received the commissioner his

wide awake citizen was seated beside a
reporter looking on, when the wide
awake citizen relieved his mind by this
speech:
81 never can understand the women
and the horsey men--how they get along
together. Several things are common
to most men who are what I call adj
dicted to the horse. They either wear
the most peculiar and pronounced hats
and coats that attract attention from
afar, or they pay no heed at all to dress
and look shabby even though they are
rich. Next, they are rough in speech
and often profane. Then again they
are 90 fond of what is called talking
horse that many of them seem to warm
up ON no other topic. But last of all,
they are all fond of women. That is no
new discovery Of mine. suspect that,
though women were mems first compan-
ions, the horse has been coupled with
woman in mans admiration ever since
the quadruped attained sufficient devel-
opment to create the race Of horsey men,
and it has long been rule that the men
who love horses are also especially fond
Of women. But what can't understand
is what fun the ladies get out of the sit
uation.
81 sit here in the park ON every fine
day and study the case. The horsey men
do not talk to the women beside them.
They are the most tiresome companions
in the world. They never, as a rule,
know anything about the scenery they
are passing through. They see and en-
joy nothing but the horse they are driv-
ing. They sit bent up on their seats
with a rapt or q stolid expression of
face watching the animal they drive.
Whether there is magnetic tingle in
the reins, such as we fishermen feel in
the pole that is tugged by trout, l can
not say.
Either that or the mere delight of
watching the rise and fall of the horses
back as it warns to its work sutfices to
satisfy the man, and there he sits, silent
and ngrossed-about as admirable a
companion to the woman by his side as
mummy or a statue, but that is not
all. He has taken the precaution to put
on big goggles to protect his eyes from
dust and flying stones and clots Of dirt.
She cannot 80 disfgure herself, and
therefore has to hold her head down and
strain the rim of her hat to make it help
protect her face. Sometimes she has all
she can do to keep her hat from blowing
away. What fun any woman gets out
Of such companionship is more than !
can see.
But" said the wide awake man. Il
was once speaking to woman of this
view of the case, and she plunged me
deeper into the mystery. "A man with
a horse has a tremendous advantage
over those who have not got horses in
gaining favor with young girls said
she; "a horse will cover many deficiencies
in man, and girl viii take him and
