HOW CABLES ARE SENT.

The manner in which mess ages are
sent and received over the trans-atlan-
tic cables between this country and
Europe is very different from that in
which kilograms are transmitted.
The two systems of submarine and
overland telegraphy, although but
two departments of the one science
and in many ways closely connected,
are yet entirely different one from the
other
The apparatus, the methods of sig
mailing and even the Geographic char
acters that form the alphabet are al
together dissimilar, and the most eX-
pert land line operator would be as
much at loss in an attempt to send
IL message over the cable as would a
locomotive engineer.
Instead of the loud clatter and din
and the incessant clicking of brass
saunders so familiar to every one as
the distinctive characteristic of tele-
graph office, there is in the cable Office
absolute silence so far as the manipu-
lation of the instruments is concerned.
Instead of the message being ratified
off by the tongue of brass sounder
into the ear of the operator they are
silently written by n slender, mystic
rious finger on n ribbon of white pa
per, which passes quickly before his
| eyes. The paper ribbon, which is
about half an inch wide, is unwound
from roll and drawn by a noiseless
clock work over a shelf-like desk in
front of the operator.
| A delicate glass tube no thicker
than an ordinary needle and crooked
like bent forefnger, which is sus-
pended between the poles of large
! upright magnet, moves nervously to
| the right and left on the ribbon being
drawn beneath it and traces in thin
line of blue ink characters that look
something like the marking on baro,
meter chart or the quotation board OF
a stock broker.
If the comparatively clumsy instru-
ments used for land telegraphy were
used on the Atlantic cables, scarcely
one word Il minute could be transmit
ted, while with the recorder a speed
of from 10 to % words IL minute is reg
ularly maintained.
The mirror, which is still used OF
some cables, is the most delicate and
perfect Geographic instrument ever
invented 1t is simply IL small needle
suspended in magnetic coil delicate
and fragile as IL feather caught in q
spiders web
The needle is piece of watch spring
three eighths of an inch long suspend
ell by short thread of cocoon silk
and having small piece of silverec
glass affixed to it with shellac. The
whole thing weighs but ] grains.
The instrument is placed in darl
room, and IL ray of light from a lamI
is focused through a lens on the mir
ror and reflected back onto a gradual
ed scale. The currents of electricit.
sent through the cable enter the mag
netic coil and cause the needle to b'
detected from side to side, the motion
being made to form telegraphic char
acters. ~
These minute vibrations are read of
by an operator, who call out eacf
word as he receives it to Il copyist
usually in an adjoining room.

EXPENSE OF THE BUCHANAN
TRIAL.

On August 14th Buchanan was SEN
fenced to die during the week begin,
ming October 2, 1893, but it was not
possible to carry out the sentence at
that time.
An appeal from the refusal of a new
trial was taken to the Court of APP
peals. This involved, among other
things, the preparation of a full re-
port of the case. So voluminous were
the proceedings that this would have
been a physical impossibility. The
appeal was not in condition to be tried
in October, 1898. 1t was not in
condition to be tried in Dc
tober 1894. The brief prepared
by the District Attorneys Office fol
use in the argument against the ap'
peal was volume larger than the
latest edition of Webster's Dictionary
The preparation and printing of the
volume alone cost more than $1,000

There has never been the slightest
ground for questioning the guilt o

markable illustration of the POSSIBLE

FORMING GOLD BRICK.

Describing a visit to the New York
Assay Office the journal says: In two
furnaces at this visit nearly $3.50, 900
in liquid gold was simnering, waiting
for the meters to ladle it out and pour
into the moulds, while on the right, in
four furnaces, were $110,0 in silver
warming up" In half hours time
it would be ready for the latter.
The patriarch of this department is
Hartman Cooper, a man about sixty
years of age, with full gray beard
and straggly gray hair. For thirty
years Mr.. Cooper has been in the gold
and silver melting business for the
Government. He is generally recog-
nized as the cleverest man in the pro-
fession,
The boss meter has five assistants,
all of whom have been with him for
years.
At the time this visit was paid all
was in apparent confusion. Work
men were rushing hither and thither.
A pot containing $3.50, 900 in liquid gold
was soon to be tapped and the yellow
metal ladled out into moulds, each of
which, when filled represented exactly
s., 900 and weighed about twenty-five
pounds.
suddenly cooper gave the WORD.
There was a flash of light and the visi-
tors were looking into a seething caul-
dron of burning gold.
Cooper and his first assistant, Ander-
son, took up their ladies. These in
struments are of the finest tempered
metal. The cup" in which the gold
is picked up is about the size of an Or
binary teacup. The ladies when filled
weigh from fifteen to thirty pounds,
according to the fineness of the gold
being handled.
Hartman dipped his ladle into the
glittering pond of fire. He filled it to
the top and quickly carried it over to
one of the rows of moulds. The de-
post was quickly made, and before he
could make another dip in the liquid
his assistant had poured his share of
metal into the mould, and a brick of
| $1,000 was formed in five seconds.

They follow butterflies with endless wings;
They peep into the birds nest they look after
White lambs and other pretty little things.
Then. in the first flush of their youth, they
bring us
Shy gifts of violets in gallant way;
And ah F! what charming, low love songs they
From fcaf-green shadows where the wild
doves stay.
But, somewhat later, they show bearded faces
And sway the scythe and bear the shears
In the hot fields, and quite forget the graces
They had of old-as others do, no doubt.
Still later they go for us and gather
The scarlet fruit in and the yellow corn,
Or walk about the whitening woods with rath-
A faded look, and sigh, and seem forlorn.
Then they sit still and watch the embers
Behind the curtains in some pictured room
While each one, somewhere in his heart, re-
members
The dew, the summer moonrise, and the
bloom.
Then comes the last night watch, the lonesome

The few tears, of the many prayers quick

SOCIETY NO LONGER VISITS.

Calls having become in our busy
life of great cities so perfunctory an
obligation, many people have seen fit
to drop the attempt to make them ex-
capt in cases where coincidence or con-
graduation is in order. These cases
demand the leaving off of cards in per-
son. only, and SO visiting for forms
sake is drifting out of vogue. So well
is the difficulty of accomplishing all
ones visits understood that people of
the world do not hold each other to
strict account if season passes with
out an interchange of cards. They
simply meet somewhere and take up
