Waterways OF TIE FUTURE.

Tie Only Question Of Time


The great waterways ofthis coun.
try are capable of a wonderful
growth and improvement. The dis
asters upon the Mississippi should
be regarded against as much as cir
cumstances will allow. And, speak
ing of the Mississippi, the day is
not distant when its northern arm
will be connected with our inland
oceans and ship may sail from
New Orleans to Chicago. Then will
come the Nicaragua canal, by which
that same vessel may proceed di-
rectly into the Pacific and down the
Western coast of South America.
There is no doubt that a ship canal
will be cut from the lakes to the At
lantic. Congress has all ready been
asked to provide for surveys and

Jonathan gets SO far the end is as
sured. Canada is charging those
which would admit British war
vessels from the St. Lawrence river
to these lakes, and at present we
have no avenue of approach.
Under these conditions, III a few
years from date, the greyhounds of
the ocean will traverse lakes Erie,
Huron, Michigan and Superior, an
choring in Chicago and Duluth.
A direct connection via the enlarg-
ed Erie canal and the Hudson river
will open up another stream of
traffic to New York. Talk of ship
building and revived maritime in
terests! What will people behold
who live another fifty years? asks
the New York Ledger. That not

A Traiu-lOad of Nuts.

A special train consisting of
twenty six box cars loaded with
English walnuts, left Los Angeles
last week for the East via the Santa
Fe road. Nearly 10000 pounds of
walnuts were placed in each car,
is about $1,000. This is the first
traia of this character which has
been shipped across the continent,
and the. occasion is an interesting
sne TO shippers of California pro-
ducts. The nuts are the product OF
the Los Nietos Walnut Association.
The entire train was photographed
before it started on its trans-conti-
Mental journey. The cargo will be
distributed among the various large
cities in the East. The walnut
crop of Orange county will amount
to $4,000, of which Anaheim and
the country tributary produces
nearly if not quiet one-third.

The great Roman General Corbulo.
we are informed by Tacitus, was in
his Armenian campaign reduced to
extremities, his army having suf-
fered, not indeed from losses in bat
tie, but from being driven to satisfy
its hunger from the flesh Of sheep
To the average Briton, into whose
dietetic cult the mutton chop enters
so largely, this announcement must
seem ineXplicable; SO much so that
he might be excused for thinking
lightly of the stamina or pluck of his
forefathers, who allowed themselves
to be conquered by soldiery for
whose stomachs the flesh of sheep
was too strong.
The fact is, however, as Tacitus
has stated it, and we know from
other authorities that animal food,
as a constant element in the Roman
soldiers fare, was found hurtful to
his health and efficiency. Caesar, in
his "Gallic War" tells the same

A System Thnt May Eventually Lowe!
the Prico of Telegraph Tolls.
To be told that telegraph wire which
IL busily transmitting "A long message
can Mt the some time be made 10 convey
half a dozen other messages in the oppo-
site direction sounds like fairy tale; but
that the thing can be done. and is daily
being done, Is attested. upon the most
respectable scientific authority The
discovery which renders these astonish.
ing results possible Is due to Mr.. Z
Langdon- Davies, who has for some years
been engaged in rendering it practically y
workable aud adapting 1t alike to tele
phonic and telegraphic use
It Is difficult TO convey TO the lay
mind nm accurate comprehension Of o
process 80 exceedingly technical, but it
may DO briefly said that MIR Langdon
Davies in the "phonophore' utilizes not
the electric current, but the noises
caused by induction. The signals are
transmitted by n series of induced elec.
trio impulses, aud 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 aud
in contact with the earth, yet, 80 long
as it is not broken. 1t will curry 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 nave hinted,
Mr.. Langdon-Davies' system is as useful
telephonically rs it is geographically A
wire which is conveying electric signals
can at the same time be used for telc.
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
panios 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 given
time. 1t 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 n 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 ut once increases the capacity and
the speed of every wire to which it may
be fitted. st. James Gazette

An Iowa Girls Vivid Imagination.

Freeport. Ia, furnishes strange
story of young girls imagination A
tramp some months ago happened along
tho road near the farm of Walter Halli
well, and while eating dinner which
had been given him by Mrs Halliwell
he noticed the little girl, Ada. She
seemed to be afraid of him and in q
spirit Of fun he told her that if she did
not stop cycling him so he would turn
her into a rabbit. which was always
afraid of everybody. This frightened
the girl still more and her fear became
so great that finally she fell in convul
sion, which nearly caused her death.
When she recovered it was noticed that
she had received great shock and that
her mind was impaired She imagined
that she was a rabbit and seemed afraid
of every one, even the members of her
own family.
She got so that she refused to talk and
would shun every person who came near
her. She would whimper and cry, and
mt last her case became so pitiable that
her father determined to take her to
Freeport for treatment. When seen at
DR.. Crawford's Office she exhibited every
evidence of fear at the approach of every
one, and her whole appearance showed
that she was laboring under some great
mental strain. Her eyes and face showed
that she felt some change, and, while it
may seem strange to say they had the
appearance of the eyes of a rabbit There
was that constant startled look in them
as if she were hunted, and when dog
suddenly barked near the office she al
most went into convulsions at the sound
The physicians say that she can possibly
be cured but it is very doubtful. st.

Morocco, was granted an audience with
tho president. The commissioner was
dressed in his native costume, and car
ried with him letters and papers in
Arabic from the sultan TO the president
He was attended by his retinue of ten
Arabs and eunuch presented him by
tho sultan. just before the cabinet
met, the commissioner and his suite
were shown into the library, where the
president received them,
The Arabs formed line, and as the
president received the commissioner his
retinue salaamed TO the floor, the en-.

on the ground. The president, through
an interpreter, spoke to Hassan Ben Ali
and welcomed him to America When
he shook hands ON his leaving the Arabs

greatly pleased at the courtesy,
