A RussInn Telephone story.

The report that a Russian electrician
has found a way Of te~lephoning to long
distances. and perhaps across the At
lantic, has received no serious atten-
ton among electricians, at all events,
so far as its submarine possibilities are
concerned. The distance he has ele
phoned over is stated as from 800 to
900 miles; but there Is nothing new IN
that. A telephone line from New York
to Chicago, a distance Of close on l,ooo
miles. has been in operation for years.
Moreover, the distance which can he
"spokcn through" on q land line Is no
test or IL submarine cable, on when IN
duction and consequent retardatlon OF
the electric impulse Is so much greater
that few telephone cables run over
twenty miles. 1t has been said by an
electric authority that the dlthcultleS
of t]elephoning across the Atlantic seem
at present inSuperable, as a cable the
size of a hogshead would be required
to make speaking audible over the
whole distance. Every now and again,
an electrical engineer will return to
the charge and have a fling at this APP
parently impregnable position; but
hitherto without success. Not long ago
Prof. Pupin proposed to lay condensers
across the floor Of the ocean, and so
restore the efficiency of the electric
current by n continuous series OF stops.
If this could be done, we could talk
across the Atlantic; but it has not been
done, and there is no immediate pros
pect that it will be. If the Russian
has found a means Of avoiding or sup
pressing the effects Of induction, he
will have made a great advance, and
done what electricians have been try
ing to do for years, but pending fur
Their particulars, it will be well to at
tach no particular weight to the story.

Hay-Seeds for Poultry.

The best litter in the pOultry-housc
is the refuse from the hay-lOft. Hay,
seeds are regarded as invigOrating, but
the benefit derived from them is due
to the work induced by the seeds. A
flock of hens will scratch and work all
day in litter from the hay-loft, as the
seeds are a complete change for them.
Being small, and covered with leaves
and dust. the hens must work 10 get

also be relished, and are among the

had not seemed a bashful young
woman; no doubt that s~tudiously cold
way OF hers was a form of ShynesS.
He would wait until she turned the
corner of the road, and was conse-
quently out of sight Of the station. be-
fore he picked her up. How well and
how quickly she moved. Neither heat
nor WEAKNESS beat down her erect
head; how high she held 1t! Her shout
ders were rigid as she walked; there
was no undulation, nothing gentle nor
dropping about her; she had an un-
compromising back. The sun was low
In the west, the air was cooler than it
had been all day, a fresh evening
breeze had arisen, yet how pale she
looked! Poor girl! she was tired out.
He touched the horse with the whip
and next moment was alongside of her
and addressing her by name.
Miss Milford, you went off in such
a hurry; you had gone In a moment,
before l knew where you were. Please

splash-board and offered her his hand
to help her into the cart.
lIIduh yOu, Dut III going u VAIN

on as she spoke. He caught sight Of
her face; there was anilnosity in every
line in it.
You can't walk" he said; "it will
kill you. It's five miles-more--and an
awful r~oad-hills the whole way-hilis
like a switchback."
She did not argue, but she walked on
faster. He kept the cart by her side.
Il assure you that you can't walk"
he said, a little irritated and very
much surprised. You don't under
stand. l am not eXaggerating-it is
five niles if it is a step. You don't
know what that distance in this part
of the country means. You must get
minded you must; you are tired out
already"
THANK you, but l would rather walk
We're the distance ten times greater
than 1t is"
Under those circumstances l have
nothing more to say"
And, taking off his hat with great
ceremony, Mr.. Jones drove off, leaving
an irritating cloud Of dust in his track.
Before the cart was of sight
Helen had repented her decision.
Il was a fool" she said. 1T would
have been better to have driven with
a butcher or a hangman than this"
This was a long, steep, stony hill
which stretched before her.

Asbestos Lamp Wtcks.

Two young men, it is reported, have
recently worked the sparsely settled por-
lions Of Boothbay with a new scheme.
They sold what they declared to be
"asbestos lamp wioks" for cent each,
assuring the thrifty housewives that
they were worth 81 each, and after their
Introduction that would be the price.
They purchased Of one dealer 400
hat pads at 25 cents hundred, and
said these for asbestos wicks. The sell.
ers directed that the wicks should be
soaked in kerosene and camphor fol
three days and the wicks would cause
a brilliant light, save half the oil, and
last lifetime. This swindle was worked
