Romance OF tho Telegraph.

A great deal Of romance hovers round
the means by which the woriu's news
is gathered. The speed and accuracy
with which messages are transmitted
between the uttermost parts Of the
earth is marvellous when the conditions
under which they are sometimes trans
mitted are considered, The Indo-Eu.
ropean line offers a good illustration.
1t runs from London to Lowestoft on
the east coast Of England. 1t then dips
under the sea to Emden, on the Ger
man coast, where it passes right
through Germany to the Russian from
tier. From this point the wire passes
by way Of Warsaw, Rowno, Odesse,
the Caucasus and T'ifis, to Persia, and
by Tauris to Teheran, the capital of the
shah's dominions. There 1t joins the
Indian government line, which runs
from the Persian capital to Bushire on
the Persian gulf. Thence the wires run
through Beloochistan, and complete the
route by connecting Kurrachee, north
India. The operation of this immense
stretch of line. passing through cnun-
tries Of such varying climates and chaI.
acteristics, is one of much difficulty.
On the snow-swept steppes of Russia
the wires are often snapped like thread
by the rapid flight of f1ocks Of wild
geese. The poles are cut down and

"JOCK." +"
cie Shepherd Collie Which eaved
twenty-five Horses.


When Mr.. Leicht, Of the Paepcke-
Leicht Lumber Company, paid $25 for
lock, Scotch collie, he little thought
the dog would pay for itself a hundred
times over and save property worth
$4,000. Such, however, is the fact, and
had it not been for the sagacity Of Jock
twenty-five horses belonging to Mr..
Leicht's firm would have lost their
lives in the fire which partially destroy
ed its lumber-yard on Tuesday night.
The horses were in a stable in the rear
of the building in which the fire was
discovered, and though the night
watchman cut their halters they would
not leave the building. Jock seemed
to understand the situation, and, rush.
Ing into the stalls. drove the animals
out one by one. He barked and bit at
the heels of the frightened animals.
and did better work than a score Of
men. One of the animals after he was
outside ran back into the burning sta
BILE and was followed by Jock. But the
efforts of the dog were Of no avail: the
horse was fire mad" and was burned
to death.
Jock Is four years old and is the
nightly companion Of Watchman
Arndt. The dog discovered the fire
and by barking attracted the atten-
ton sf the watchman. When his work
of rescue was complete he took up a
position by the yard gate, and neither
streams of water nor showers OF sparks
| would dislodge him from his place.
Jock Is of pure Scotch breed, and, ac-
| cOrding to his owner. Tuesday nights

Chicago is not alone among cities
in having a name of unsayory or
petty significance, though probably
no city in the world bears name OF
more malodorous suggestion. 1t has
been conjectured that Rome is from
Groma, meaning the "cross roads, "
since the city grew up around the
junction of ways leading to the
forum. Lutetia, the ancientname OF
Paris, means in effect mud town, the
CITY when the Romans found 1t being
composed chiefly of mud-built houses.
London is pure Celtic. and means a

1t Is doubtful If any considerable
body of men exist who have a sincerer
love Of fair play, a more honest desire
to see impartial justice done, or truer
respece for self-restrained and unset
fish action, than the mass of American
and British citizens, when they lay
aside personal prejudice and calmly
consider the right and wrong of a
course of public or private policy; but
It is not at all doubtful that to induce
them to do this would be regarded as
bad politics and worse Journalism by
the great authorities In the political and

One Of the ecommonplaces of their econ

not so much In the clear vision and
