Tho uummin- of Telegraph wires.

You have all heard the humming and
singing of telegraph and telephone wire,
as you passed the poles along the streets.
No doubt you have concluded that it is
caused by the action of tho wind on The
wires and given it no further thought.
But it is not true that the singing is
caused by the wind, and if you arc at all
observing you will notice that often the
humming sound is to be heard on cold
winter mornings, when the smoke from
chimneys goes straight up until it is lost
in the clouds, and when the frost on the
wires is rs fuzzy and thick ms a. roll Of
chenille fringe.
Tho wind has nothing to do with the
sound, and according to an Austrian sci
enlist the vibrations are duo to the
changes of atmospheric temperature, and
especially through the action Of cold, as q
lowering of temperature induces shorten
ing of the wires extending over the whole
of the conductor. A considerable amount
of friction is produced on the supporting
bells, thus inducing sounds both on the
wires and the poles.
4. When this humming has been going on,
birds have mistaken the sound for insects
inside the poles and have been seen to
peck with their bills on the outside as they
do upon the apple and other trees. The
story is told Of a bear that mistook tho
humming noise as coming from O nest OF
bees, and clawed at the pole and tore away
the stones at its base in the hope of find
ing the much coveted honey.-Boston

1fow GO SWIM

There Is 10 difficulty in learning how TO
swim, says Clara Heekwith. Among tho
greatest benefits have derived from swim
ming IL tho remarkable preservation Of
my health In NIL Seasons and under all
conditions OF changing climate, diet md
surroundings.
Here arc a few hints would like to
give beginners: Don't try to lenrn nt the
ocean beach nor where the surf IL heavy.
Take your first lesson In a swimming
pool or nntatorium, where tho facilities are
good and the surroundings safe. Seek,
first Of all, to gnin confidence, and do not
attempt tho strokes until you realize that
you arc not afraid of the water. Keep
your hands open, with tho palms rather
concave, and the fingers close together, no
that no water can pass through them.
Then lean with your chest on the water,
and ns you throw your arms forward your
body will assume horizontal position
just beneath the surface. With slow and
steady action, let tho legs follow the mo-
tion Of the arms or net simultaneously
with them. Then spread the hands so as
to describe a half circle, the elbows com
ing close to the body and then to the
chest. Slow and steady is the rule to fol-
low in learning. Speed will be certain to
come with practice.--Boston Post.

PerSistenCc.

The following is illustrative of the fact
that sometimes when we have reached a
point which we intensely desired to attain
we find ourselves worseEoff than we were
before:
A Scotchman who was mounted on a
donkey had to travel over rather rough
piece of country in Australia. After a
while he came to wide ditch, which the
donkey refused to cross. Turning back a
few yards. he urged tho donkey into gal
lop, thinking tho donkey would jump
across. Instead OF jumping across the IN
imal stopped suddenly throwing Sandy
over his head with such force that he land
cd on the other side Of the ditch, Just
where he wanted to be, only he needed
the donkey in order to finish his journey.

HOwOrth's History.

Sir Henry Howorth, the author of a well
known "History Of the Mongols,' sat at
dinner one day next to a lady whose mind
seemed full of the distresses of her pet dog,
and who bombarded Sir Henry with ques-
tions as to what should be done for the
animal.
Not being satisfied with his replies, she
finally expressed her great disappointment
at his ignorance and remarked, ''Well,
Sir Henry, 1 must say did think you
would have told me how to manage my

Ono OF the most remarkable and pus-
cling stories OF somnnmbulism Inns recent
~ como to light. The subject was young
ecclesiastic at u seminary. The bishop Of
the diocese was 10 deeply Interested that
he went nightly to the young mans cham
Der. He saw him get out of bed, secure
paper, compose and write sermons On
finishing page, he read it aloud. When
word displeased him, hc wrote correction
with great exactness. The bishop had
seen beginning OF some of these SOM
nambulistic sermons and thought them
we'll composed and correctly written. Gu
Fious to ascertain whether the young man
made use of his eyes, the bishop put a card
under his chin in such Il manner ms to
prevent him seeing the paper on the table
before him, but he still continued to write.
Not yet satisfied whether or not he conld
distinguish different objects placed before
him, the bishop took away the piece Of
paper on which he wrote and substituted
Deveral other kinds Mt different times. He
always perceived the change, because tho
pieces of paper were OF different sizes.
When piece exactly like his own was sub
stituted, he used it and wrote his correc-
tions on the places corresponding to those
on his own paper. 1t was by this means
that portions Of his nocturnal. compost
tions were obtained. His most astonish-
ing production was piece of music writ
ten with great exactitudc. He used cane
for ruler. The clefs, the flats and the
sharps were ell in their right places, the
notes were all made as circles, and those
requiring 1T were afterward blackened
with ink. The words were nll written
below, but once they were in such very
large characters that they did not come
directly below their proper notes, and per-
ceiving this he erased Them all and wrote
them over again. News. III.

He Made a Precedent.

There is popular and erroneous idea
that United States naval commanders
never take any step without precedent.
Commander Jonathan Young some years
ago was coming home from China on a
United States warship. In mid-Pacific he
saluted an approaching merchantman, but
the latter never needed and passed by
without showing his colors. Commander
Young Immediately put his ship about and
followed the merchantman. First he fired
few blank shots and finally sent ball
whizzing aososs the strangers bow. Then
and not until then was flag shown. Sim
gularly enough it was the cross of Eng
land.-Philadelphi Press.

ments are very novel and are very beau
tiful, but of their practical utility there
may be grave debut. For instance. that
artificial lightning that was first dis
played ON the Fourth of July, while
very astounding, could hardly be put to
and practical use. The lightning made
10 order is as much like the genuine ar
aticle as 1t is possible 30 con-
ceiye. The exhibit is shown in
the Electricity Building, a structure,
by the way, not very much affected by
the rural element. The men who erect
lightning rods on their houses and
barns are not the kind OF people who
care to monkey much with electricity.
One Indiana farmer whose wife had In
duced him to enter the Electricity
Building got there just In time to catch
a close glimpse of Professor Barrett's
ke-believe lightning. He instantly
backed out and vowed he never would
enter the place again where such thing
as that was possible. he had spent
SITS In putting up lightning rods, and
now here was some kind of an inven-
ton come along to furnish the rods
something to do, and the next thing he
knowed some fellow would come along
and want him to spend another SITS for
4 machine that would make lightning;
anyhow, he didn't understand the thing
at all; he was afraid of it and would
rather get OF onto some other and safer
building.
