The possibility of telegraphing
through space is put to account in a
most effective way for maintaining COM
munication between the mainland and
Fastnet lighthouse, ON the southwest
coast of Ireland. Formerly the difficult
ties of carrying telegraph cable up an
exposed rock, where it was subject to
constant chatting, were almost insupera-
BILE. The noncontinuous system is now
used and is said to work admirably.
The cable terminates in the water so
yards off, aud the electric currents sent
from the shore find their way through
this distance to two bare wires that dip
into the sea from the rock. Boston

blood troubles is self-evident when you
reflect that attacks are always due to sud-
den climatic changes or exposure, and &C.

which quickly relieves and cures the ca

1t was evident that Ju Dun was Sc
cretly exultant Dong, of course, had
sent for him to beg his mercy. There
was no chance of his paying. There was
q look in JUS little black eyes which
BODIED no good to anybody. However, a
smile played around his mouth as he
opened the discourse and came right
down to business:
"My dear young friend, suppose you
are now ready to cancel the note. No?
Then you know the alternative You

Suddenly voice-a clear but un-
earthly voice-interrupted him with:

turned ON by the conspirator behind the
mosquito curtain. He grew as.white as

the LAGOON could not have desired
more Mortified and agonized expression
of countenance than the one Ju Dun ex-

voice, you tear up the note which this

A Toad Twenty Thousand Years Old.

A Toad Twenty Thousand Years Old.
There is something wonderful about
toad life which has never yet been Salts
factorily explained by the naturalist.
We refer to their ability to live for un-
told ages when shut out from water. air,
light and food. That toads have this re-
markable faculty of sustaining life un-
der adverse circumstances is not denied
by the best authorities we have ON ge-
ology and natural history. Below we
append a copy of a letter written by a
we'll known geologist to Amelia B. Ed
wards, the authoress: II suppose you
have often heard of toads being found
in solid rocks, coal blocks, etc., when
the same were opened by the workmen's
picks. | have today just seen one taken
from bed of clay in railroad cut near
here. 1t is alive, but very inactive and
semitorpid. 1t seems to have no bones
and is SO limp that its legs bend in any
direction, 1t has two beautiful eyes and
mouth that has grown tightly shut
what little breathing it does being done
through the nostrils. The clay in which
the creature was found is Of the glacial
variety and is supposed to have been de-
posted 20, 900 to 80, 900 years ago.
There is no doubt but that this wonder
full toad was alive at least 10, 900 to 49,.

know little temple,
It's walls are dim and low,
Yet up and down its darkened aisles
The blessed angels go.
And he who keeps the temple
Should pray to God tonight
That faith may light the altar flame
And hope may keep it bright;
That love may bring the sacrifice
Which love delights to give,
And all the angels innocent
May tarry there to live.
And may no evil spirit
Have in it place or part.
What is this temple beautiful?
The temple of the heart.
