being Connected by Cnara17oIs trans.
mitter and receiver. The success OF
this so-called system was attributed
by Its inventor. Captain Charallois. OF
the French Army, to the peculiar
properties Of the wire used by him.
After one trial Of the Charallois
telephones they were permanently re-
placed by the Crown magnetic tele-
phones, owned by the Signal Corps,
with resulting sound many times loud
er than with the CharaIlois instru-
ments.
Next study OF the bimetallic wire
led to the conclusions that 1t did not
possess any special qualities in an
electric way, and it was theoretically
demonstrated that as good results
should follow the use Of single met
al wire Of the same diameter as the
b!metallic. and practical test proved
this to be fact. Pure copper, sill
con, bronze and other wires of the
size OF the bimetallic gave entirely as
good results
AS the original idea was to use the
uninsulated wire only for oral com
munication, apd as, in fact, 1t was
not possible then to otherwise use it.
the eproblem OF adapting it to the use
of the Signal Corps as a part Of its
means Of Geographic communication
was confronted.
Captain James Allen, OF the Signal
Corps. an expert electrician, was
charged with the solution OF this prob
lem by General Greedy. He replaced
the magnetic telephones used as trans
mitters substituting a carbon trans
mttter, with greatly improved results
These instruments were introduced In.
to circuit with a battery, induction
coil and telegraph code and commune.
cation by Morse telegraph code at
tempted.
The back stroke OF the diaphragm
being much louder than the sound OBJ.
tanned when the current was sent
through the magnet seemed for time
a fatal objection to the use OF the in.
strument as part Of the telegraph sys.
tenn. An ingenious solution OF the
problem was found by Captain Allen
whereby the Morse code is read as
easily through the receiver as from an
ordinary telegraph sounder.
Having In mind comparatively sue.
cessful experiments abroad in the use
of single wire for telegraphing and
telephoning. Captain Allen then be-
gan work on that line. and. ingenious
ly surmounting the many difficulties
met with In his exhaustive expert
ments, perfected the instrument now
used by the Signal Corps.
1t has been rigidly tested at dis
tances up to 625 miles and pronounced
success in its various. capacities as a
buzz" Morse, telephone and phono-
pick instrument. The whole outfit
weighs only sixteen pounds, including
battery enough to work over any
length Of line that the corps would
probably be called upon to operate. An
operator may therefore easily carry in
his hand combination telegraph and
telephone Office.

COURTED BY WIRE.

Tom Walton was very much sur.
prised at finding himself deeply in love
with a girl whose name he did not even
know. 1t happened in this way. Tom
was a telegraph operator in the city,
but lived in small suburban town.
AS he sat in the train one morning on
his way in to work, he noticed among
the passengers who boarded the train
at one OF the stations. a beautiful girl
who entered his car and took the seat
directly in front Of his. The morning
paper had no further interest for Tom
that day. All the way in to town he
sat watching the girl in front of him.
shall not attempt to describe her.
Tom says she is the most beautiful girl
he ever saw. OF course he is preju-
diced, but 1 must admit that l have
only seen one girl who surpassed her
However, that has nothing to do with
my story.
What impressed my friend even
more than her beauty was her ex-
IRENE modesty-not the timid. f1utter-
ing kind of modesty, which is so easily
Initiated by the heartless coQuette. but
the strong, self-reliant kind, which
makes men keep their distance. She
did not shrink from the admiring
glances bestowed upon her by every
man in the car; neither did she encour.
age them. She simply ignored them.
A man who would attempt to dirt with
such girl must either be fool or be
gifted with unlimited assurance Tom
was neither; SO he contented himself
with admiring her in silence.
Week after week went on and each
day found poor Tom more and more
deeply in love. The unconscious oh
ject Of his alteration Travelled on the
same train every day. Sometimes she
sat near him and his eyes nearly de.
voured her wonderful beauty At 9th.
er times she sat at the other end of the
car, where he could only catch occa-
slonal glimpses Of her past the heads
Of his fellow passengers. One day he
made great discovery. Her name
was Helen. He had heard girl friend
coll her SO. That lsisht Tom sat III

scarcity Of the white owl.
There are cheaper feather shades
made from dyed feathers put together
N stereotyped patterns, and there are
rare and delicate shades contrived O,
'ich-tinted bird Of paradise feathers
and the blended hues that hint Of the
peafowl's plumage. The sober grays
and pale browns and shaded wood
tints of the hawk and the heron are
most sought for, but the bright colored
feathers make an effective shade for a
drawing room lamp or for one used
in room requiring gay colors. Tiny
candle shades scarcely larger than a
sea shell and prettily curved are also
made of feathers. and the effect is also
novel and pretty. In all cases the
back of the feather shade is covered
with silk of neutral tint. These nov.
elites are neither heavy in weight nor
heavy to look at, and are rather a re.
lief from the muffled and bordered
gimped, and fluted paper and silk lamr

There was no answer ana the young

There WAS no answer and the young
man continued:
II had no idea you understood me.
I unconsciously telegraphed what was
passing in my mind"
Still no answer.
III you don't forgive me I shall be
miserable for life"
At last the answer came:
Please stop. You are attracting
everybody's attention"
Then let me come and tell you how
sorry am"
After long pause the girl answer
ed: You may come
Toms heart leaped with JOY as the
window catch clicked out these words.
He lost no time in accepting the invi-
tation, and it was not long before he
had persuaded her TO forgive his fool
ish conduct OF the day before
After that he met her every day on
the train and their acquaintance soon
rlpened into sincere friendship on the

DOUBTFUL DAYS.

a little love in doubtful days
@ A CLEAN, of love-till more and moro
The impress of the loved one's ways
Crept in like sunlight at door.
And famed by kisses in still eyes
II grew fame both pure and bright,
While slow the moon, above the leaves,
Sailed down blue spaces night by night
Until to eyes that bluer were
Than any reaches of clear sky,
I told my love; and knew by them
First knew her mine to live or die.
And here beside the coffin lid.
With light of love eclipsed in tears,
think of what the white hands did,
So long ago in doubtful years.
And what the parted lips then said,
Between their kisses, "You and
VIII live beyond the dying bed,
For love, the true, can never die"
