Will it ever be possible to enable
the persons who speak with each other
by telephone to see one another at the
same time, as Gin glass, darkly,'
perhaps, but still ''face to face" Will
it ever be feasible for man in London
to see opera in La Scala, or the Fails
of Niagara, or the Feast Of Lanterns,
in Canton, without stirring from home:
1t is captivating idea, and, although
we cannot pronounce with certainty,
there is a good deal to be said in favor
of the possibility of its realization.
10 begin with; it is known that
light is merely form Of energy, or,
as the late Prof. Tyndall would call
it, "mode of notion 1t is in fact
wave like motion in the exquisite
medium that we call the luminiierous
either, which is understood to permeate
all bodies. The waves resemble those
set up in wa.er when a stone is drop
ped into it: that is to say, they
are transverse rays, the particles Of
water rising and falling alternately
across the line on which the waves
travel. lu this respect light differs
from sound, in which the particles of
air conveying the sound vibrate to
and fro along the course of propaga-
ton of the sounG. Now it has been
found of late years that waves similar
to those of light in all but size can be
set up in the luminiferous either by
oscillatory discharges of electricity,
aud there is growing evidence to show
that some well-known effects of cleo
lefty are the result Of wave motions
IN the either Of the same kind as those
Of light.
If, therefore, we could find means
of transforming the waves of light
into corresponding electric waves and
transmit these to distance by wire
or even without wires, then retransform
the waves of Zig hit into corresponding
electric waves and transmit these to
y distance by wire, or even without
wires, then retransform them back
again in light, the problem would BE-
solved. The progress of electrical
research appears to tend in that direc-
ton.
The ingredients are: Half a pound
of cold roast chicken, same quantity
of cold boiled ham, a little good stock
half teaspoonful of grated lemon
peel, one ounce of butter, a teaspoon

General Morgan, Of Illinois who

never pick him for an officer of high
rank. One day raw recruit OF his
brigade who hadlost some books asked
a veteran where he mi ght be likely to
find them. he veteran said the only
thief in the brigade was jim Morgan,
who occupied a tent near the blue flag.
The recruit fastened to Morgan $ tent
showed his head il through the flaps,
and asked:
"Does Jim Morgan live here"
"My name is James Morgan, ausw-
cred the General.
"Then | want YOU to hand over
those books you stole from me-

dear man"
"That's a Ie,' cried the soldier,
:'The boys say you are the only thief
in camp. Turn out them books, or
I'll grind your carcass into apple
sass"
General Morgan appreciated the
joke, and laughed ha' tily, but when
the recruit began pulling off his coat
to make good his threats, the officer
informed him of his relations to the
bri sad-.
"WaaI, blast me if I'd take you for

SILK by two Stalwart bearers dressed In
the same flaming livery through the IL
brary and the Corte della Pigna into
the garden, where he enters his car
riage and drives down the alleys of oak
and lex trees escorted by an officer of
the noble guards and two gendarmes.
His Holiness usually alights near the
Cascata dell 'Aquila and, leaning on
his stick, inspects the fine vineyard, In
which he takes more real interest than
in all the marbles of the Vatican, and
which yearly yields eight thousand IL
tres of excellent wine. The principal
relaxation Of his Holiness consists in
cultiyating tea roses and in catching
little birds with nets, q sport at which
he was exceedingly clever as boy in
the woods at Carpineto and of which
he Is still fond.
Toward dusk the Pontiff leaves his
retinue and goes quite alone into the
colossal tower of the Citta Leonina, a
tower whose walls are three metres in
| thickness, and which dates from the
time of Charlemagne. No one, not
even Contra, knows what his Holiness
does in that solitary dungeon, and no
one has yet been allowed to penetrate
the mystery. Perhaps the aged Pontiff
INDUCES in a little nap; perhaps he
| meditates over the colossal projects of
his ambitious mind. 1t is certain that
much Of his literary work is done in
| this vast square room. At sunset he
returns to his apartment, and, after re-
citing the rosary with his domestic
prelates, sits down again before his
writing table, and works obstinately
| till twelve. Often, when the striving
after literary perfection torments bis
| brain, he walks to the window Of the
study and gazes long at the starry
skies, as if invoking FROM the heavens
| the inspiration they gave to Lucretius,
one of his favorite authors.
| This short sketch Of Leo Kills daily
| life suffices to outline his character.
| He is one of the most intellectual men
of his age, possessed of extraordinary
energy and resolution, austere to the
point of aseeticism, benevolent and
kind, but full of the dignity and ma
| jesty of his exalted position. No Pom
tiff ever less deserved the accusation Of
nepotism. He treats his relatives with
more severity than strangers. One of
| his nephews, a colonel in the Vatican
troops, having complained of his scan
ty pay. received from his uncle the
curt reply, "Try and live like me, on
| twenty-five soldi a day" Beyond
doubt Leo XIII is one of the most en-
Heightened and eminent Pontiffs that
ever filled st. Peters chair, and none
could have occupied it better than he
in the difficult times which succeeded
| the death of Plus TX. 1t is therefore
but natural that alarmist reports about
his health always create a sensation,
respectfully in Italy. For in the present
critical condition of italian affairs the
Popes sudden decease might almost
| amount to a national disaster.

physical paradox, a meteorological veg

possessing some of the characteristics
of both. In appearance, it is light,
buoyant and feathery as thistledown:
yet, in its crude state, it is dense and
heavy as the solid rock in which it is
found. Apparently as perishable as
grass, it is yet older than any order of
animal or vegetable life on earth. The
dissolving influences of time seem to
have no effect upon it, The action of
unnumbered centuries, by which the
hardest rocks known to biologists are

permits of shorter fibre, No. Is
used largely in paper, and for many

One of its special uses is for wall

which will have a distinct effect in
modifying the practice Of indoor plas-

Gus and elaborate preparations Of
studs and strips, and the use of inferi-

give cohesion to the final coat of plas-

walls have been built in the morning
can, before night, have smoothly fin

glass and as hard as a rock. A kim
bred application of asbestos is now
coming into vogue in the shape of I'M
inflammable decorations for walls and
ceilings. These are used a great deal
for the saloons of Steamships.

BRIEF ITEMS.

Most of the Durham county dele
gates came in from Raleigh yesterday
morning looking pretty well used up.
The intense heat in the Academy of
Music and an all-night session of the
convention had telling effect.
Durham Encampment was in regu-
lar session Thursday night and elected
officers. The following gentlemen
We're chosen: i. NJ Sharpe, Chief Pa

Treasurer.
Wednesday evening at his home six
miles in the country, L. A. n. Hutch
ings died after a few days illness of
something like bilious cholic.He was 6S
years old and leaves a wife and eleven
children to mourn their loss He was
the father of Durham's popular citi-
zen, j. w. Hutchings. A good and use
full citizen has passed over the river.
There was not a single case on the
mayors docket yesterday morning. 1t
is too hot to get drunk or fight either,
and therefore the mayor is without
business.
Durham is not likely tosuffer for any
thing to eat. Wednesday morning
there were driven up Main street, fifty
fine sheep and twenty-one magnificent
beeves. They were the property of j.
w. Hutchings.
Royal & Borden are moving their
stock of furniture to the Cooper build
