Musical Signalling.

1t is a theory which seems to have
been confirmed by practical expert
lnent that apure tone ofvoice, such as
that used in singing, penetrates to a
much greater distance than mere noise.
This idea has given rise to new sys-
tenn of marine signalling, to b, used
either at night or Ill foggy weather,
and based entirely upon the action Of
successive musical tones.
A limited number OF combinations
Of notes can be made to carry on all
the conversation necessary between
appro aching vessels to avoid collision,
or between light houses and dangerous
points OF the coast, in order to pre-
vent wrecks.
-Four notes, for example, serve to
ask, (Which way are you heading"
and two others mean, II am steering
southeast
The system can be employed on a
large scale by means Of machinery CON
sisting OF a keyboard, on which the
operator would play, and speaking
apparatus" 1t is expected that by
such apparatus communication may
be established at distance OF two
miles The invention can be adapted
to the Morse code of signals when it
becomes necessary to spell out names
or words.

LITERARY LUNCH FIEND.
His Plan to Secure Regular Meal

His Plan to Secure a Regular Meal
for Himself Every Day.
THAT little snob just crossing
| Twenty-third street. said a promi-
nent club man to the writer, els one OF
the cleyerest bachelors in New York.
He has been a member OF my club for
! years, and he spends a good deal OF
time there, but do not feel as though
/ was half acquainted with him. They
say he writes a considerable quantity
OF matter for the daily and weekly
| press. He dresses in good taste, and
evidently has his own tailor, but /
doubt if he has much ready money ]
never saw him spend cent at the
club in my life. He never declines a
treat and never offers one.
But this man, who is confidential
| " known among us as the Literary
Lunch Fiend, lives in clover all the
while, and I'll tell you how he does it.
His earnings from his pen are perhaps
| 81, 500 year. A good two-thirds of
this be puts into a swell dinner, to
which he invites about 400 people,
many Of whom are leaders in society,"
| Of course, in return all OF his guests
invite him to their houses to dine, and
thus he is sure OF a frst-class banquet
500 times per annum.
Being a bachelor, people invite him
more than once during the year to
their tables, and when his invitations
for the same dates conflict he writes
his declarations in such way as to
keep people reminded that though he
could not be present on the occasion
designated he might be able to accept
a similar invitation in the near future
Oh, yes, rhelives on the fat Of the land,
and he is very popular. Invitations
| to his annual feast are much coveted,
and his presence at the dinners given
by those constituting this set of
| worthless is deemed especially essen
tial. He is an inveterate fatterer Of
beautiful women and gifted men, who
swallow his oily cajoleries as from a
chalice containing the nectar OF the
gods. There is probably not another
man in the metropolis who, like him,
could be, year in and year out, sue

IN MEMORY OF SLAVES.
Plans Suggested by Baptist
Clergyman in Richmond,

clergyman III .HiCnrnOnC.
Several weeks ago Rev. DR.. Land
rum, while delivering a sermon at the
Second Baptist Church upon missions,
stated that he thought it would be
exceedingly fitting to erect a monu-
ment in Richmond to the memory OF
the colored slaves who so faithfully
served their masters during the war
DR.. Landrunl said that he had not as
yet formulated his plans for the
scheme. He added that he hopes the
monument will not be one of marble
or bronze, but OF brick. His idea is
that the memorial should be an
eleemosynary institution. He favors
an old folks home. Applicants must
show that they have been slaves and

tiers, and are now in ind igent circum-
stances and aged.
At some time in the near future, il
the movement continues to increase in
favor, he will call a public meeting OF
exslaveholders to consider the pro-
priety of organizing. II is expected
that the contributions will come not
only from Richmond people, but from
all the South.
AS means OF aiding the work DR..
Landrum would be glad to receive
from any eX-slaveholder or others in
cidents proving the fidelity Of the
negroes during the war He wishes to
interest in this philanthropic work
Dr. Landrum believes the capital
OF the late southern Confederacy is
the place for the location OF the
colored old folks home. He is enthu-
siastic and believes the good work

THE GREATER LOSS.

a pure and stainless soul.
Fond parents watched the futtering breath
Their power could not control.
The infant lived As time went on

And learned to love the voice of one
Who softly breathed her name.
She listened to his vows untrue,
Nor dreamed of hidden guile;
Her simple heart thenceforward knew
No sunshine save his smile.
She fed when autumn's blighted leaves
Mourn DER the passing years,
And still grey-haired father grieves,
Still fall mothers tears.

Had chilled me as passed.
