q John M. Langston, the eminent col
ored orator, declares that the condition
of the men Of his race at the South is
exceedingly favorable to it's develop
ment. Nowhere else in the world, he
declares, has the negro SO many oppor-
tunities to improve his condition and
attain the rank to which he is entitled.
Mr.. Langston is undoubtedly right,
and his words are worthy OF great
weight. "

The state Of Georgia last year refus-

her to participate in the worlds fair,
which was a national undertaking.
Now she asks congress to vote $780,
600 to a fair she is proposing to hold at
Atlanta. 1t is difficult to say which is
most admirable, the cheek and indie

SPIDER WEBS ON THE WIRES.

r~nterruution of Telegraph COmmu-

Two of the main through wires be-

Gently reported I'm trouble" east Of
New London, says the New York Sun.
They positively refused to work at all
in the morning, but from about IL
o'clock in the forenoon until II O'Clock
at night they were found to be oil
right. From this popularity they came
to be known as 'the twelve-hour wires"
and Lineman Williams was directed to
find out what the matter was with
them. He located "the trouble" as
being between Noank and POQuOnnOck
Bridge, and then walked back and
forth and forth and back along the rails
with his eyes scanning the row Of tele-
graph poles and wires in a vain search
for the mischievous cross. He kept up
the hunt for two or three days. and f.
nally, just as he had given up in de-
spair and was swinging himself on
to a train to go home ne caught sight
of Il large cobweb in the shadow Of q
big elm tree, which was bound from
II of the erratic wires to the other.
Williams came back to the cobweb
the next morning and eyed t eagerly.
He was nOt long in climbing the pole
nearest to it, and then he saw that
the web was the really gigantic prod

ated with water. Nothing will ~"cross''
and kill" two electrically charged
wires more effectually than a wet sub
stance of this kind connecting them.
When the sun dried the dew off the
cobweb the ''crOss" disappeared, and
did not come back until a rain storm
came or the next dew fell. Williams
gathered the cobweb and stuffed it in
his coat pocket. 1t made a large hand
1ul. There was no more trouble with
the wires after that. When the line
man reported the matter to the east
ern chief of the company in Boston he
got laughed at for his pains, but on the
following day he told Of his adventure
with the cobweb to Supt. Fred Fair
child, of the New Haven Office, an ex-
pert electrician, who promptly declared
that 1t was the cobweb which crossed
the wire and at once sat down to q
telegraph machine and talked for half
m hour with the Boston chief, explain
