snrnrised the Onerator.

The late Charles l.. Chaplin was
probably the first man to real tele-
graphic messages by sound. When he
was in charge of Cornelrs line from
New York to Erie. the lettered dial was
universally used, but he taught himself
to read the messages by sound. The
operators under him had been in the
habit of sending private messages over
the wire, and it was impossible to stop
them. Finally an operator tried to get
excused for days fishing. He tele-
craphed to the operator in Mr.. Chapin's
office, asking to get Mr.. Chaplin to let
him off. Mr.. Chaplin was sitting with
his back to the instrument when the
message came in, and, without turning
around. he said to the operator: ''Tell
him no." The man was so surprised
that he almost fell off his chair. Even
tually Mr.. Chapin divulged his secret,
and now reading by sound is universal.

SOMETHING ABOUT LAMPS.
rhe Story of the Accidental Discovery Of
the ArgAnd Chimney.

rhe Story of the Accidental Discovery OF
the Argand Chimney.
To the Egyptians have been given the
honor of inVenting the lamp, but it
seems more than probable that they
received it from the older civilization
of India. The lamps originally used by
the Hebrews. the Egyptians and the
Greeks were simple fat vessels with q
small handle at one end, and at the side
a little projection with hole forming
q nozzle. In the back WAS . larger
opening, into which the oil was poured.
The oil used was generally vegetable,
but according to Pliny it wac sometimes
OF liquid bitumen.
The lamp commonly used in Egypt at
the present time is a small glass vessel
with tube n the bottom in which is
placed wick Of cotton twisted around
a straw. The common lamp of India Is
small earthen saucer, with bit OF
twisted cotton for a wick. The ordi.
nary travellers torch or lamp in India
is a bundle CT strips of raps on the end
OF stick, with oil poured over it. In
Bible lands" the lamp commonly used
is small earthenware plate with the
edge turned up to make it hold a small
quantity of oil.
Among the most beautiful ruins OF
antiquity that have been preserved are
g great number of Egyptian, Greek and
Roman lamps formed OF clay, metal,
terra Gotta and bronze. The museum at
Naples contains the finest variety OF
specimens to be found anywhere These
peii and Herculaneum. Some lamps
were hung with chains to bronze can
delabra; sopne were supported by beau,
tiful brackets.
In 1874 Armi Argand, Swiss residing
IN London, made an entire revolution in
artificial light by ;nventing burner
with circular wick. the flame being
thus supplied with an inner and an
outer current of air. To Argand We
also owe the invention of tho common
glass lamp chimney. He was very de-
sireus of increasing the light given out
by the lamp that he had invented. ana to
that end had made many experiments,
but all to no purpose.
One night as he sat at his work table
thinking he noticed an oil flask living
near, of which the bottom had been
broken. leaving a long-necked, funnel
shaped tube. He carelessiv picked th;s
up and almost without thought"
placed it over the fame Of his lamp.
The result astonished and delighted
him, for the fame became a brilliant
white light. Argand made practica!
use of the hint thus given him by de- |
vising the lamp chinney.-Philadclphia
