WESTERN UNION BULLETINS.
Free Service from st. Louis Again
Next Week.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Western
Union Telegraph Company has arranged
to send a free bulletin service over the
country from the Populist and bimetallic
convention, which meets in St. Louis
next week, just as it did from the late
Republican and Democratic conventions.
1t has been learned that service OF this
kind costs the company for operating
and delivery expense between 5000 and
5000 per day, not to mention the extern
sive wire facilities required to perform IL.
The st. Louis and Chicago bulletins
were sent to some fifteen thousand Offices
and were given 10 the press and the pub
lie free OF cost. The Chicago bulletins Of
the Democratic convention, distributed
over the various circuits from its New
York office alone, the afternoon after
they were received there. amounted in
the aggregate to more than $4,000, or
about 100000 words.

Colonel Elicit was almost a sick man

Learning n Foreign Language.

Some interesting statistics might be
collected on the effect upon linguistic
power and accent Of the possession of o
musical ear. 1t would seem that O per-
son with q good car for music would be
more rapid i'll the requirement of a for
eign tongue, and having acquired it
would possess a more perfect pronuncia-
ton of the sounds than would q person
not having the same ready musical gift.
Similarly such q person would be
quick to attain the dialect of the coun-
try in which he might be living and to
adapt his speech to the brogue or pro-
vincialism with which he found his ears
surrounded.
The greater rapidity with which Ger
mans, Poles and Russians learn the
English language is surely not to be ac-
counted for merely by stating that their
W more nearly resembles our language
than does that of the French or Italian.
A Greek, for instance, learns English in
about half the time it takes an Italian
to acquire French, and a Russian will
speak French, English and German in
the same period that n F%renchman will
acquire a mere smattering of the two
latter. -Pearson's Weekly.

The Southern Aurora.

On Feb. 1, in latitude sc degrees,
longitude 172 degrees 81 minutes, we
ran into open water again, having this

On the 18th the aurora appeared, stron-
ger than I ever saw it in the north. It
rose from the southwest, stretching in
q broad stream up toward the zenith
and down again toward the eastern hor-
lion. The phenomenon this time had
quite a different appearance from what.
we saw on Oct. 20. 1t now presented
long shining curtains rising and falling
in wonderful shapes and shades, some-
times seemingly close down to our mast
heads. 1t evidently exerted considerable
influence upon the magnetic needle of
our compass. &C. E. Borchgrevink in
