ATelegraphic Interruption,

Telegraphic communication be-
tween New York and Baltimore, Md,
was interrupted in the busiest part of
the day on Dec. 11th. The operators
in the Western Union buildingin New
York were busy sending stock quota
tions and orders to buy and sell shares.
when suddenly a peculiar noise in the
instrument indicated that something
was wrong. After several fruilless at
tempts to use the wires, the chief ope-
rator was sent for. After eNamina-
tion he pronounced the trouble to be
due to an injury to the wires some
where between the two cities. The
finely adjusted mechanism used for
sending simultaneous messages was
taken off and the wires were tested.
They proved to be in good working
order, but when the instrument was
replaced the defect was again present.
Messages were delayed, and the case
became serious. Electricians were
summoned, and the instrument care
fully examined. Then the cause of
the trouble was discovered. A small
Croton bug was found in, that part of
the instrument which regulates the
passage of the electric current from
The dynamo to the wire in such a
way as to connect with its fore and
hind legs the positive and negative
currents of the battery which are nee
essarily separated by insulation. The
bug was dead, of course. and the cur
rent of two hundred and fifty bolts
had fairly glued it to the metal, there

rily interrupting business between
New York and Baltimore for more
than half an hour. 1t was ridicu-
lous, insignificant cause for a suspen-
sion of business and communication SO
important. But great results often
proceed from tritiing causes. 1t is so
i'm the spiritual world. What we er-
ronously term little sins frequently in

tian with his heavenly Father and if
not repented of and abandoned lead to

A few years ago there was much lau.

has much to do with the draft of a
chimney. The flat roof offers no re-
sistence to the passage of air, but as
the pitch is increased the current is
more and more disturbed, until with a
highpitched and many-gabled roof il
is broken into innumerable eddies,
some of which are sure to curl down
and force the smoke and gases in the
flue into the rooms below. Chimneys

There are lizards in Singapore; large,

of all sorts of colors. You see them on
the walls of your hotel, in the sunshine,
and admire them. At evening, sitting
with fans and iced drinks, one sudden

You go to bed, you and your wife.
Each has a canopied couch, rods remote
from the other, for sleeping apartments
are ample. You stretch out on light
mattress, over which is one sheet. For
upper covering pull up the darkness
and draw the mosquito nets. There is
no need of sheet over you any more
