The Possibilities of Transatlantic Tele.
phones Being Established.

The Possibilities of Transatlantic Tele-
phones Being Established.
The long distance telephone lines ir
America always excite the admiration OF
electricians from Europe, where long dis
tance telephony has reached relatively
small development. They are built in
the most solid and substantial manner,
au,l the wires are all copper metallic cir
cults, arranged in a scientific manner de-
vi ed by the telephone engineers to cir
cumvent the disturbing currents that try
to get into them.
On single line between Boston and
New York there are 40 wires, or more
than 10, 900 miles Of wire altogether, con-
tanning more than 500 tons of copper.
The line to Chicago, which is the wonder
of the scientific world and is continually
referred to as such by the European
scientific journals, is builSof much heav-
ier wire, and each circuit between Bos-
ton and Chicago contains more than 500
tons Of copper.
The use Of the long distance telephone
system in this country has reached an
astonishing development, and in response
to public demand the system is constant
" being extended in all directions to put
more towns and cities on speaking terms
with each other. The limit of speaking
on overhead lines has not yet been reach
ed and it is only a question of using
large enough copper wires to talk from
Boston to San Francisco.
The problem of ocean telephony is re-
ceiving much attention from scientific
men, but it has not yet got beyond the
stage of theories and discussions. The
solution of it will involve the invention
of some special type of cable, and it is in
this direction that experiments and in
vestigations are being carried ON by vari-
ous electricians. The longest interna-
tional telephone line now in existence is
that between London and Paris. The
total length is 81 miles, Of which about
26 miles are in a submarine cable under
the English channel. The talking is
good, and the line has been so successful
both scientifically and financially that
it is projected to build similar lines from
London to Brussels and from London to
Berlin.
1t is in America, however, that long
distance telephoning has made the great
est progress, both as regards the enor-
nous extent of the system, which puts
about 100000 telephone subscribers in
more than 90 different states in commu-
nication with each other. and as regards
the use made of it by the public.
In America not only are the distances
over which the long line telephone works
much greater and the towns served by it
much more numerous than elsewhere,
but the service has become a business
necessity to "a much greater degree than
is the case anywhere in Europe

The Great FreHCh Artists ret Model which

The Great French Artists Tet Model which
Died Ia Her ArEis.
Rosa Bonheur loves the animals
she paints and is in turn adored by
them. She showed her recent pur-
Chase. magnificent lion. who pu1red
and writhed like a gigantic cat when
his owner fearlessly stroked his
mighty head. Then, showing the
hcld Of a most superb specimen Of
the African lion transferred to can
vas With startling realism, she tells
tlc story of Nero. He was her first
pet hon anil was reputed untamably
ferocious and lived for several years
in the garden BY. At lastone day
Rosa Bonheur was about to travel
md disposed of Nero to the Jardin
des Plantes. She parted with him
reluctantly, for he was a great pet
and would greet her always with a
peculiar little note of welcome.
When she returned from her wan
,ierings, two years later, she went to
see Nero and beheld a sad sight.
The poor creature had not been so
carefully tended as he was used to be
at BY. Ophthalmia had set in. and
the splendid brute lay blind and all
ing, unheeding the curious crowd
that stared at him. Rosa Bonheur
watched him for a moment and then
called "Nerol" The effect was mag
ical. The lion rose to his feet, ut
tered his accustomed note of well
come and sprang toward the well
loved voice with such impetuosity
that the shock against the bars sent
the sightless brute rolling, stunned,
back on the floor. The great artist
took him back, soothed his last days
with tendance and petting, and final
ly he died in her arms at the foot of
the staircase at By, his huge paws
clinging to his mistress, as if implor-
ing her not to forsake him in his
death struggle, and his last move
ment being a feeble attempt to lick
the hands that held him with such
infinite tG&derness, you see, said
Rosa Bonheur as she meditatively
ruffled her new lions name, ito be
really beloved by wild beasts you
must really love them. Paris Let

Lean Year Privileges.

Why is it that ladies are permitted
to propose in leap year3 Here is the
answer:
1t appears that in the year 1888 a
statute was published. by the Scotch
parliament ordaining that during the
reign of Her Maist Blessit Mejestie
Margaret" every maiden and lady of
high and low estate should have lib
erty to speak to the man she liked,
If he refused to take her to be his
wife, she should have the privilege of
6ning him &100 or less, according to
his estate, unless he could make it
appear that he was betrothed to an
other woman, in which case he would
be free to refuse. After the death of
Margaret the women of Scotland be-
came clamorous for their privileges,
and to appease them another act Of
parliament allowing them to propose
every fourth year was passed. Pail

A Japanese Recipe.

Fish is the chief article of diet of
the japanese. Dried and salted it is,
with rice, the only food of the lower
classes. But every one is fond of
fish, and there are a thousand ways
of dressing it daintily Crabs are
killed by making them swallow a
bumper of sake, which is probably
anything but pleasant to them, but
gives them very delicate taste. The
spirit called shoyn, which is made of
the fermented juices of several diff
ferent kinds of grain, and which tastes
like Liebig's extract diluted with
brandy, seasons large fishes admir-
ably, but generally the Japanese pre-
fer to eat them raw, and they are not
altogether in the wrong.
No hors d'euvre can beat that OBJ
tanned from the following recipe;
Take out the bones of a very fresh
dorado or sole; cut the flesh into very
small pieces-almost mince it, in fact
cut into thin slices a few fresh CHER
kins; put in a pickle dish a series of
layers of chopped fish and gherkins
add salt and pepper to each layer
sprinkle over the whole a little vine
gar and the juice of a lemon; let the
dish stand for a few hours before
serving" Try this recipe, and you
will see.-Harper's Weekly.

The Mississippi.

Generally speaking, the slope of
rivers flowing into the Mississippi
from the east is, on the average,
about three inches per mile. Those
entering it from the west have an av-
erage descent of about six inches per
mile. The average descent per mile
of the Missouri after it leaves the
mouptains is reckoned about a foot;
the Des Moines. from its source TO its
conjunction with the Mississippi,
about 7.3 inches. The entire length
of the Ohio shows a fall Of even five
inches. The Mississippi, from the
mouth Of the Ohio 10 the gulf, has a
fall of about p inches.-Boston

Advice to a Kansas Candidate.

The illimitable gall of some men makes
our legs ache. A candidate for congress
over in the north tier writes to the effect
that he wants marked copies" sent him
whenever this paper says anything com
plimentary of him. Now, candidates
all listen to years of experience: First,
when you resolve to enter the lists, sit
down and write the editor a nice, adoring
letter. Tell him you have long been
yearning for his valuable publication
and inclose $1.50. If you are pushed for
time, you may trim off some of the yearD
and some of the adore, but in no case
should you moderate the $1,50. Don't
say anything about being a candidate.
Editors are gifted with remarkable pow
ers of analogy, and you will be charmed
and surprised beyond expression at the
skill with which they fathom your secret
By and by some venal Populist will as
sail your noble character. And then, ah
then, champion will spring to your sup
port. In the meantime, we will remark,
the dodo over in the north tier may re-
main in his sepulcher until doomsday,
and we will never roll away the stone
with marked copies. Hays City Sen

A Comfort to Each other.

A delicious story of 'damnable it
GRAFTON" comes by way Of the English
parish curate, a route which good
stories often take. He was visiting a
poor old couple who were sitting to-
gether over the fire. The old man
was very grumbling and discomfort
ed. The curate said that "he ought
to be more grateful to God for having
preserved them through such length
of years to be a comfort to each 9th

ed out the old man, ''she sits ere and

o,r,ous oId Law In Naryiand.

Maryland has a peculiar statute "a
relic of the ancient days when the plant
ers ruled the state) providing that IN the
choice of United States senators one
must be selected from the eastern shore
of Chesapeake bay and the other from
the counties west of the bay. in the OLD
days there was something of an equality
of population, but at present the eastern
shore counties have only 10000 people

the fabled amazOns, were the hel-

their military achievements. In more

Rovr. June 25.-Premier Crispi's Official
despatch 10 tue French government reads
as follows:
" Deeply affected at the news of the
shocking misdeed which has robbed
France Of her hrst magistrate and Italy OF
a friend, I beg 10 express the feelings OF
horror and pain felt oy the Kings govern
meut and the whole Italian nation and my

France has lust lost. He was attached 20
me, not only by ties Of admiration; but by

committing such crimes birth, are the first
10 repudiate them. France and Italy can
see in the assassin only an enemy OF
