TELEPHONE LINES.
The Sunset Company to stretch Its Wires
over New Areas-They Want
Money to DO 1t.

The Sunset Telephone and Telegraph
Company has voted to issue bonds to the
amount of $4,000 to extend service
throughout the State. One line through
the San Joaquin Valley has just been eom-
pleted as far as Fresno and Tulare, while
down the coast line extends as far as
Soledad. There is also a southern division
running from San Luis ObiSpO to San Ber-
nardino, taking in Los Angeles, San Diego
and all the thriving Southern towns. Al
present men are working on the gap be
tween SOledad and San Luis Obispo, which
will ere long be covered by telephone and
telegraph wires. Once the connection Is
made between these two points san Fran
ciscans can talk to Los Angeles and be
yond.
The Northern line goes as far as Nina,
taking in Sacramento and the principal
towns of Northern California by branch
lines. Between Nina and Albany, Or,
there is gap to be covered.
The Sunset wires in Washington cover a
large area between Snohomish and the
Oregon border, where they make COnnec-

lines communication between Portland
and Spokane will be established, and then

An Edinburgh man has invented an in
genious electro magnet gas controller
which will automatically turn up the gas
when the electric light is turned off and
in case the electric light is turned on again
the gas will at once be lowered. 1t is
claimed that a great saving Of gas is thus
effected, and in large stores and public
buildings such a device will fill long felt
want. The apparatus is attached to the
gaspipe in the ordinary way, and, when
the current is turned on, the main valve is
closed by means of an armature which is
attracted to pair of electro magnets.
When the current is turned off the ar
mature is instantly released thus opening
the valve and allowing the gas to flow. a
sufficient quantity of gas is allowed to pass
to the burners so as to keep them just
alight, and in the event of an accident to
the engines or the electrical plant the room
or building will not be left in darkness. -

A Queer Performance.

Several years ago Hampshire baronet
was amazed to find that, although he
went to bed clothed as is customary, yet
he invariably awoke naked in the morn
ing and could not find any trace Of his
missing garment. a great number o.
shirts disappeared in this inexphcable
manner, and as every nook and corner
in the room wGs searched without re-
suit the baronet at last told one of his
intimate friends, and requested him to
sit in the room all night and watch de-
yelopments. This the friend did, and
after the baronet had for some time given
audible evidence that he was asleep the
watcher was surprised to observe him
get out Of bed, open the door and proceed
with quick pace along a corridor, de-
scend the stairs and emerge into an open
yard.
Suddenly the baronet, diyesting him
self of his only garment, seized a pitch
fork and buried the linen in dunghill.
Afterward he proceeded leisurely back
to his bed. In the morning the baronet,
incredulous at what his friend related,
repaired to the dunghill and after dig,
ging for some time found several shirts
slowed away in this anything but pleas
ant receptacle.-Bo5ton Globe

Hounslow heath, Finchley common
and Gadshill, in the neighborhood Of
London, were celebrated haunts of the
highwayman, and the secluded roads Of
Epping forest, on the route to Cam
bridge, were often the scenes Of plunder
in broad daylight. These desperate rob
bers at last became so dangerous, and
the peril of their attacks SO serious to
travellers of all kinds, as well as to the
postmen, that the government passed a
law making highway robbery an offense
punishable by the death Of the criminal
and the confscation of all his property.
But robberies still occurred.
In 1888 mail coaches, protected by
armed guards, took the place of post
boys. The coaches carried passengers
also, and as these generally carried arms
the mails were better protected, but
still daring and oftentimes successful
attacks were made upon them.-St

not always have the best Of it In their deal

an astute counsel has been nonplussed in
the most unexpected manner by the smart
repartee or quiet sarcasm Of those under

A witness at the Kilkenny assizes once
told a counsel that he had been victimize<

his own fashion, "humbugged."
"Humbuggedr repeated the dandif1ed

The witness proceeded to illustrate his
meaning by putting a case. Suppose !

Just before the train started. the bride
discovered that she had left one of her

and the conductor very kindly held the

couple to enter the car, saw them start
on mission among their many relatives,
and then remarked that unless his train
started at once he would be obliged to
