OF THE DAYS GONE BY.

Dreams come home to my heart again,
With the memory of the past!
Come with your pleasure and your pain,
And your hopes too bright to last!
Come from your hidden graves that lie
In the beautiful realms of the days gone
by.
Come. from your glorious graves that lie
In the realms of the days gone by!
! will welcome ye all again, 80
As once in the halls of ED,
Welcome the pleasure and the pain
For the beauty your brief lives held.
Dreams, come out of your secret graves,
In the woodland wilds, and the dim sea-
caves.
Dreams, come out of your myriad graves,
In the wids and the dim sea-caves!
Ye throng the halls of my heart once
more,
With faces sad with pain!
Oh faded ghosts of the drains of yore,
The joy comes not againi
Go back to your mournful graves that lie
In the shadowy realms of the days gone
by
Go back! to your voiceless graves that lie
In the realms of the days gone by!

negative wave also, would make

negative wave also, would make
dash.
The machine by which messages are
sent with an alternating current, is
very simple. A narrow wheel with a
fiat, narrow periphery is kept in rota-
ton at rate which is rapid and Is
equal to an integer number of cycles.
Let us imagine, now, that the wire
carrying the message Is cut in two, and
the adjacent ends are provided with
flexible metallic tips, or brushes"
and that these two brushes rest, side
by side, on the periphery of the wheel
Obviously the current will flow from
one brush into the metal of the Wheel
and thence into the other brush, so
long as the wheel remains clean. If,
however, little patch of paper or
other insulating material be attached
to the periphery at a certain point, ev-
cry time it comes around it will break
the contact between one brush and the
wheel, and thus open the circuit. AS
soon as the patch is past the connec-
ton will be restored
This, however, was not the exact
plan really pursued. In practice a
long, narrow strip OF paper was kept
in motion by the wheel, just as a belt
is by a pulley. This strip has been
previously perforated with holes of diff
ferent lengths, long or short, and care
fully spaced. One brush rested on ton
of it, and the other pressed upward
against it from below, the two being
removed short distance from the
wheel, and situated one directly above
the other. So long as the brushes were
separated by the paper strip no cur
rent would fiow but when q hole pe--
mltted one to reach through and touch
the other the current would be restor-
ed. The interruption and reservations
of the current always occurred at the
zero stage, between positive and mega
tive waves, so that no sparkling result
ed after the brushes were once adiust-
ed. The wheel p was geared to the
dynamo so as to make one revolution
to every 1S4 half-cycles. The perforat-
ed tape Is indicated at L. The current
wires are shown at w w, but the
brushes are hidden by the adjustable
support s. An actual speed of 1,2OO
words minute was secured in this
way, and three or four times that rate
Is said to be entirely feasible.
III Is thought that telegraph com
pany or the future will fulfill some
what different function from the pres
ent ones. The company will own Its
own wires and rights of way as now

Curious Wax Flowers.

A German scientist gives the follow
ing directions for performing very
amusing and interesting experiment:
Take lighted stearin candle and hold
it horizontally over a wide glass filled
with water. The drops of melted stear-
in when they strike the surface of the
cold water will be formed into hemi-
spherical cups and float on the water.
These forms often take the shape of
the flower of the common Maybell ICON
vallaria majalis) and can be made
smaller or larger at pleasure by drop
ping the melted stearin from less or
greater height. When sufficient num-
Der of such bells have been made, take
a slender iron wire and cut it into sec
tons, of which one end is curved, then
warm the straight end of each by hold
ing it In flame, and thrust it through
one of the wax bells SO that the wire
passes quite through the bell, leaving 1t
hanging at the curved end, where it
remains fixed when cool, looking strik-
ingly like the Maybell flower when the
wire is held curved end upward. In
the same way all the hemispherical
cups are treated, and finally the single
flowers are combined by twisting to-
gether the wire stems, when they may
be arranged in vase. By using col.
ored stearin similar flowers may be
initiated.

A Yankee farmer in Brazil who long
ed for ice water has utilized kite for
the purpose of obtaining ice. He fills
a tin can with water and sends it to
the height of three miles, where it is
promptly frozen. After a sufficient in
terval the kite is rapidly hauled in and
the cake of ice secured. The inventor
is SO pleased with his toy that it is
said he now proposes to send up a kite
$50 long by a steel wire cable Under
the kite will be suspended pulley,
over which runs an endless chain bear
ing cans attached to hooks. The cans
will be filled with water and the speed
of the belt upon which they will run
will be regulated so that the topmost
cans will be converted into ice suffi-
