SPEEDIER THAN IN AMERICA

Telegrnphic Business I'm England
Compared With That In This Coun-
try.
William H. Preece the celebrated
English electrician, visited Chicago
and other American cities last year.
and recently published a paper in
which the Geographic systems of the
two countries are compared. Mr..
Preece says:
1t Is quite impossible to inspect the
telegraph system of the United States
and compare it with our own system
without drawing comparisons abort the
way In which the work is done in the
two countries. The result of my visit
was to confirm my views that we do
our work better in England than they
do in the States. Our apparatus is bet
ter, our speed Is higher. Messages are
handled with greater reliability. A
message can be sent and it's reply re-
ceived with certainty in an hour in
England. l fancy such rapidity would
aStOnish the users of the telegraph of
the States, except those in such busy
centers as New York and Chicago.
and generally the speculative branches
Of the community. The domestic tele-
gram scarcely seems to have reached
the United States, and this is owing
probably to the fact that the districts
of private residences, the small towns
and the villages do not possess tele-
graph offices, unless they are supplied
by the railroad company at the rail
way station or by the Western Union
company, who do the work for the
railway company.
[ fail to see any superiority in the
manipulative skill of American opera
tors. They certainly have all made
the same advance in technical educa-
| ton that we have, and altogether it
may be said that the management of
the telegraphs in the hands of private
enterprise does not compare favOrably
with the management of the telegraphs
| by the state at home. At the same
time it must not be assumed, because
the government has advantageOusly
taken the telegraphs in hand at home
that such a process would be possible
in the States. In my opinion it would
be absolutely impossible The civil
service of the United States is in very
chaotic condition. The principal APP
pointments are four-year appointments
only, and are filled politically. The
reason why our postoftices and our tele-
graph offices at home work so well is
because the public exercises such a
useful and such a determined super
vision over the work. The free opening
of the press to complaints; the readi-
ness with which members of the house
of commons ask questions-though at
times, perhaps, irritating and veXations
are undoubtedly good for the serv-
ice, for they keep us all alive. Such
a state of affairs is impossible in the
States. The government of the United
States must first reform it's civil serv-
ice; and when it gets officials into the
service whose tenure of office is secure
and whose zeal is as unquestioned as
it is in England, then there will be
some chance of their government ac-
curing the telegraphs; but under eX-
listing circumstances the acquisition of
the telegraphs by the government of
the United States would amount vir-
tually to the deterioration of the scry
| ice.

wired sleeves and WhnIeboned

Among ingenious devices for holding
expanded sleeves in the desired shape
Worth is using Il single threadlike wire
stitched in the upper edge Of the sleeve
drapery. This is not put in simple ba-
loon puffS, but in scarf around the
top of close sleeves, starting in the in
side seam, then curving out to give
breadth, dropping to show the sleeve
underneath, and Sewed to it without
meeting. The open draped top is then
faced with ribbon of contrasting color,
and the tiny wire is stitched along the
upper edge in the seam which adds
the facing. Thus a shot pink and green
Surah waist has sleeves of this kind
faced with black MORE ribbon two
inches wide holding n wire in the edge
of the top. Other trimming on the
waist is bib-frill of white gllipure fall
ing low from a stock Of black mOire
ribbon, and almost reaching a belt of
the same.
Another novel way of giving breadth
to new gowns is that of putting Slen-
der whalebOne in a rever of huge
BOWS extending straight across from the
throat out on the wide sleeves. This
Is an extreme fancy, somewhat like
the Incroyable revers and bows of the
Directory period. A straight length Of
silk four or five fingers wide is folded
across in fan pleats, then strapped in
the middle and whalebone is hemmed
in along the upper edge. When set on
at the throat the pleats each side of
the strap fall like an open fan from
below the whalebOned top. and thus
make an effective drapery for the waist.
A very rich gown with waist of white
Venetian guipure lace has such bow
of pale blue silk brocaded with purple
VioletS. The lace sleeves have wired
tops of the silk, and the skirt is of cloth
of the ightest shade of Parma violets.

BEAUTY ON THE INCREASE.

The Women of To-day Better I'm
Every Way Than aTheir Grand
mothers.
The assertion that our national beau
ty is declining Is more easily made than
substanuated, for 1t Is difficult to add
duce satisfactory evidence. Surprising
we place in the witness box number
of octogenarians or nonogenarians, we
are not wholly convinced that their
pleadings and opinions are free from
bias, it being an admitted fact that
elderly people are In the habit OF ex-
alting by-g0ne generations to the de-
probation Of the modern. ! do not say
this Is done maliciousIy, but with adj
vsEcing ears one Is apt to change ones
critical standpoint, and to verge ON
pessimism, II not be actually swamped
by it, says the Gentlewoman. Nor can
we judge Of national type by pictures,
as artists naturally choose the hand
sc NEST models procurable
/ am inclined to hold, with the
Daily Graphic, that youth may take
comfort. Look at the park in summer,
go to our country houses in winter,
or accompany me to the covert side
{ nd you will agree that beauty incar-
nate is still among us. Tell me if we
are not rearing our young more wisely
than did our lackadaisical grandmoth-
ers. Are we not cultiyating graces of
bodily motion, and sitting at the feet
Of hygienic science? How can the
girls Of yesteryear compare with the
| maidens firm of limb and sound in
lung who know and appreciate the
value Of open air and exercise? Is
cOddling so rampant? Is J lila now
afraid to walk a mile or two in stout
boots, no matter what the weather?
Think it over. fairly and impartially,
and l shall be surprised if you pass
verdict that the allegation of declining
beauty stands proven.
Yet another word on the subject.

don News, is gallant enough to put in

ELECTRIC WINDMILL PLANTS.
An Extensive Field Open to People
of an Inventive Mind.

Am Extensive Field Open to People
of am Inventive Mind.
The utilization of what are termed
the waste forces of nature is steadily
pushing itself to the front, and en-
gineers have been compelled to study
applications which were scarcely even
contemplated ten years ago. The ready
means which electricity places in the
hands of the engineer have not been
overlooked, and as soon as the storage
battery became a commercially aValla-
BILE apparatus a new impetus was given
to the realization of long med1tated
schemes, says the Electrical Engineer.
The first of these ideas to be taken up
seriously was the transmission OF the
powers of waterfalls, the progress in
which presents remarkable record.
These powers, from their uniform ana
steady nature, afforded favorable OPP
portunity, but the intermittent powers
of nature, such as the rising and fall
ing tides, the waves, and especially the
wind, have up to the present absorbed
the attention of but few isolated
workers, or indeed, enthusiasts, and
schemes for their utilization have been
looked upon by engineers as more IN
the nature of fadS than as legitimate
engineering work worthy of close and
serious investigation. Leaving out of
consideration the utilization of the tides
and waves, it seems worth while to in
quire whether the power of the wind
cannot be employed for the generation
of electric current.
We venture to say that few have
ever stopped to consider the great and
rapidly increasing number of wind
mills now in operation and the work
they are doing, principally in elevating
water for drainage, irrigation and do
nestle purposes. Their number alone
in this country runs into the tens of
thousands, and the size and powers
called for are constantly increasing. 1t
must be evident, however, that if this
method of operation is to come into
4neral use it must be reduced to the
simplest possible arrangement, and to
lack of this important feature of sim
plicity may be attributed the re-
luctance hitherto manifested. The
three elements upon which success
in this field dependS-that is, the wind
mill, the dynamo and the storage bat
tery-will be conceded to have all ar
rived at the stage which is called COM
mercial, so that there can be no further
question as to the reliability. The only
other factor, then, Is the wind itself,
and On this point all sufficient data are
at hand to base calculations upon.
While the maximum and minimum
rate, of course, vary during different
hours of the day and with the locality,
an average rate of seven and three
quarter miles per hour can be depended
upon in the United States. Near the
sea coast and in elevated localities the
average is much higher, and it is
in such situations that we shall proba-
bly, see the first attempts to apply the
plan.

ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
