TELEPHONE RESTRICTIONS.
The Queer Way the Telephone System I,
Run in Roumnaia.

The Queer Way the Telephone System Is
Run in Roumania.
The telephone is rapidly conquering
the rcmoter parts of the old world.
One of the latest connections. says the
Western Electrician, is that made be-
tween Galatz and Braila, two CONNER
clal cities of Roumania, on the lower
Danube. A merchant of Braila wanted
TO buy some barley, and went to the
telephone office TO speak to his agent at
Galatz, where the produce exchange
was held at the time.
Have You written TO your friend to
be at the telephone at this hour?" asked
the officer in charge at the telephone
station.
No, have not" said the merchant
Then you have telegraphed, 1
guess?" persisted the officer.
Il should not come 10 the telephone
if wanted TO telegraph" said the mer-
chant, irritably.
Then / cannot let You use the tele-
phone" retorted the officer. "The in
structions are" continued he, that
people who want To talk TO each other
through the telephone must agree upon
the time beforehand by letter or by
telegraph or by other means of commu-
nication."
But ] did not know until now that /
wanted TO buy barley" explained the
merchant
Then | cannot allow you TO use the
telephone" said the officer and the
merchant had TO give up the idea of
buying barley that day.

PALMETTO PAPER.
4 New and Valuable Addition to Paper


At the present time when paper stock
Is scarce and the prices advancing, a
special interest Is taken by paper man
ufacturers IN palmetto fiber II Is not
generally known that factories have
been established IN the south for the
manufacture Of paper from that article.
1t Il only within the last few years that
American manufacturers have paid any
attention to- this fiber as a paper stock
In England and France. however. IL
has been for more than thirty years in
practical use. In fact. one firTn In Lon
don have used over one Thousand pounds
yearly for the last twenty wears. The
material which they use and which il
converted into notes and bonds Il pro
duccd IN Africa. The great expense of
procuring IL has deferred manufactur-
crs in this country from using it, but
since rle establishment of factories
here this difficulty To a great extent has
been overcome 1t Is said that the
great solidity Of palmetto wood pulp
makes it more valuable than any other
wood pulp, and il Is therefore recon-
mended to manufacturers for the MAX
ing of pals. tubs, casks and other uten-
sils. Because of its solidity, IL is also
very valuable for use IN rough casts for
models and holdings. The supply of
this wood is practically unlimited; it is
now found in endless quantities all over
Florida The leaf and stem are almost
entirely composed of valuable fibers,
which IL the raw state have a rough
appearance. These are not very plant
when dry, but are exceedingly flexible
when wet, and if sllillfully handled can
be divided into extremely small threads.
In many instances the finer grades of
fiber resemble wool more than cotton,
linen or silk

In Athens. writes L. Il. Sanborn to
the Boston Advertiser, | met a gentle-
man not long since at the Caspian sea,
near which Russian lake there have
been extensive oil wells of the cars

now the American competition in pc
trnlcum iS great that the Russian oil
no longer commands Il living price, and
that the business Il greatly depressed
in that part OF the Russian empire.
Mentioning TO him the English story
that the petroleum of that region had
poisoned the waters of the river Volga.
SO that the fish are all dying, he told
me that could hardly be, since the Cas-
plan sea abounds in excellent fish and

steamers on the Caspian have their en-

Russia.
Hcrodotus of IIalicarnassus speaks of
oil wells IN ancient Persia, near which,
At "A good distance from SuSa- the Fer

qucred Erctrians from the island of Eu-
beau. whom he carried off in 45O Il. c.,
Just before the battle of Marathon.
Ardericca is the name of that oil city,
and Hcrodotus says it produced three
things-salt, asphalt and oil-all from
the same well-whcnce they We're
drawn with sweep and bucket, as the
old-fashioned Yankees still draw water
and as it is drawn in Greece. when
the people are ingenious enough to
have a well sweep, and keep IL in re-
pair. which is not always the case. The
heaviest salt and asphalt hardened and
separated. while the lighter oil was col
lcctcd in tubs and pals and tanks So
