A specsal from Albany to the Atlanta
Constitution says good story has just
leaked out ON some of the campaigners
in the last congressional contest in this
distri ct which illustrates very prettily
how politicians sometime get caught in
their own traps. Hhe parties to this ep-
lsode were Hon. w. N. Spence, Colonel
j. w. Walters, Judge William M. Ham
mond and Hon. S. j. Jones, all ardent
Russell men and "Jim' Griggs, the pies
emf able Judge of the Pa yaula circuit,
who was no less ardent in his support
of Hon. O. B. Stevens. These distin-
guished gentlemen met at Morgan, in
Calhoun county, for the purpose of a
p litical debate. \ programme was ar
ranged by the Russell men by which
Jones and Spence were to open with az
hour each, to be followed by Griggs,
who was not limited, because it was
thought bis staying powers were not
great hammond and Walters were TO
conclude the debate, at which time it
was confidently expected that the Hon.
O. b. Ste vens and his champion would
be completely pulverized.
The programme was then set in mo-
ton. Jones and Spence occupied the
time allotted them and then jim Griggs
began to talk. He answered all the &c
Ii atoms and charges that hal been pr :
tered against Stevens and then made
some charges himself He had talked
about TWO hours. 1t was we'll along in
e shank of the evening and the audi
e ICE began to show restessness, which
Mr.. Griggs noticed and relieved by tell
inc them that they could retire at their
pleasure. A good many got up and left,
but Griggs talked on. He realized that
to talk was tie only way to keep from
being ex inguished by Hammond and
Walters, who were to follow. He made
all sorts of assertions, all sorts of
charges. He ian the argument over and
over again; he said they had accused
hin of not being democrat, when he
had us returned from Chi sago after
having made the democratic platform.
Again the crowd showed restlessness
and Griggs told them that all who want
ed to could go without offending him.
A good many went, but Griggs took
fresh hitch on his susptnders and talked
On. He had consumed three hours then,
but he said he was not near through.
gathering. Hammond and Walters bit
their lips and twisted in their seats in
pure Vexation at the thought of how
they had been outwitted.
The audience was fapidly dwindling
to mere handful, but Griggs talked on
and neved did he cease talking until
there was no one to talk to and the vic
tory was his. Then the Russell men
made him swear that he would never
say anything about how he had outwit-
ted them, but somehow or other it has
leaked out and has become public prop
erty.
1t is said that Judge Griggs talked
fully five hours and when he had con-
cluded his audience and his opposing de-
baters were worn into FRAGILE. But
he carried his point and by his staying
qualities, disappointed the expectations
of his distinguished opponents and
saved the day for Stevens. And the
beauty of it all is that the story is liter
ally true.

Got His Start from Astor

Inc following is true story Of bo,y
a once prominent Philadelphian made
ms start IN life, says a writer in the
Philadelphia Record:
"neh a young man, with a small
inheritance ne went to New York and
opened real estate brokerage office
downtown. Though he lived closely
MS means gave out before the end of a
year, and, having to secure a single
customer worth mentioning. he wae at

entered his office a nervous bnsinaso
gentleman who wanted to know if he
wouldn't loan him $4,000 on brewery

The following day, the broker had
another interview with Mr.. Astor. who
was ready TO advance the sum; but he
inquired first:
What commission do you receive ?"
Five per cent" was the answer.
well, y was the response, ~ will not
let you have the money unless YOU

This completely nonpulsed the broker
until Mr.. AstOr finally explained:
He has been here himself, irving to
cheat you out of your commission
The young man went to his client
and an told him he must have per cent.
The latter clustered furiously, accused
him OF going back on his word of trv-
ing to take unfair advantage of the
situation, &c. But when he was told
what Mr.. Astor had said, his temper
changed into confusion, and he con-
sented to pay the extra percentage.

young man returned to Philadelphia,

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION!

In these days of keen competition in every

be but one resIllt--an explosion, which if
not resulting in immediate death, leaves
them with shattered brains and bodies.
They are running at too high pressure
The strain is too great. Something must

limited, they have their daily burdens, frets,

with their stronger companions.
This condition is growing worse every

ANSWESR.
The Telephone.
FINAL LECTURE IN THE UNIVERSITY
EXTENSION ELECTRICAL COURSE.

John J. Carty, Engineer to the
Metropolitan Telephone and Telegraph
Company, told about THE Telepone," :"
and said:
The telephone is an instrument to
transmit sound, and particularly
speech. Sound is produced by vibra-
tion, as in the tuning fork; if you stop
the vibration you stop the sound. The
different number of vibrations per
second give different sounds. The
greater the number of vibrations, the
higher the pitch. TO transmit sound,
we must have transmitter. In a
vacuum there is no sound, but air is a
transmitter. In the ear there are three
bones that are called the stirrup, the
hammer and the anvil; outside of these
there is a membraneous diaphragm
which moves whenever sound strikes
upon it. This motion is communicated
through the three small bones to cav
ity containing liquid, and in this there
is a kind of sand and small stones. The
sound vibrations move the LIQUID,
which causes the stones or sand to agi-
tate the nerves, thus communicating
sonnd to the brain.
Speech is caused by the expulsion of
air from the lungs; the air passes
through the vocal cords and is nodded
into words by the action of the tongue,
teeth, nose and lips. The speaking
tube is the simplest example of a tele-
phone. The sound waves of the voice
pass through the air in the tube, and
strike upon the ear. But sound is not
transmitted through air only, but also
through solids and water-and more
readily through solids. AS an example
of this we have the original string tele-
phone. In the telephone we do not
have sound directly transmitted, but
sound converted into electric current,
which is again converted into mechani.
cal movement at the other end of the
line, and received upon the ear as
sound.
The construction of the Bell magnetic
telephone was pictured and described.
1t consists of steel magnet around
which there is a coil of wire. The
sound of the voice causes a thin iron
diaphragm to vibrate before the mag
net, and these vibrations are converted
into electrical currents by the move.
ment of the diaphragm in the magnetic
field. These vibrations are conveyed
over the wires to the end of the line,
where there is a similar instrument, the
diaphragm of which moves in unison,
giving corresponding vibrations and
sounds which may be received upon
the ear.
The telephones of today are operated
by electric batteries. A battery con-
sists of a glass jar filed with sulphuric
acid and water, in which a sheet of
copper and a sheet ofzinc are immersed
causing an electric current. This cur
rent passes through coil and magne-
tizes piece of soft iron. Whenever

IMPORTANT HISTORICAL PAPERS,
Chief Justice Charles B. Lore and Asso-
ciate Judge I. c. Grubb are both at
work on important papers of "a histori-
cal nature. Judge Grubb's article is
on the chancellors and chief Justice of
the State and will be published in the
"MedicO Legal Journal" of New York.
In it the judge has traced the history
of the judiciary of Delaware from the
earliest colonial times to the present,
and the article will be illustrated with
the portraits of the various men who
have filled those positions in this State.
The work being prepared by Chief
Justice Lore is in the nature of
sketch or history of the sttorney-gen-
erals of the State for the same period
as the work of Judge Grubb covers the
judges. The members of the bar are
also much interested in this work.
