instead of being put aside along Win

and more dignified place in the world.
Nearly every royal girl now has her
camera, which is part of her luggage
and which goes where she goes. just

Just so surely is the camera stored

Nor is 1t only the royal girls who do

PROGRESS IN TELEGRAPHY.

Although many years have elapsed
since the duplex and quadruplex i'm
provemeEts on the original Morse sys-
tenn Of telegraphy were introduced,
and although a great many plans for
increasing the number of messages on
a single wire have been announced in
the interval, the quad" is still the
only multiplying instrument in general
use, and four the highest number of
messages sent at once, except, perhaps,
in isolated and mostly experimental
cases. The multiplex apparatus, in
vented by Prof. Rowland of Johns
Hopkins university, which is said to
send and even 10 messages over one
wire at the same time, and to print
them automatically as received, may
or may not be the long sought means
of expediting Geographic business,
but its efficacy remains to be proved.
If it will accomplish all that is claimed
for it it will be a decided benefit 10
not only the industrial world, but also
to crowded cities, for it will stop tn :
rapid increase of overhead wires and
hasten the time when, by reason of
their comparatively small number, all
telegraph wires can be buried-Phil-

SANTIAGO Or TO-DAY.

In July the streets were almost
empty, three-fourths of the houses un-
inhabited, the suburbs an absolute
desert; the shops that were open could
be counted on the fingers; the res
taurants and all the clubs were closed.
Soldiers in and about the Plaza were of
of course greatly in evidence, but ex-
cept the soldiers land correspondence

lieved at the evident good feeling of
the conquerors. Today all is reversed
The houses have filled up; the suburbs
right away to the outskirts of the city,
are alive with people; the streets are
becoming populous; the soldiers have
disappeared and loungers fill the seats
in the Plaza; shops are opened by the
dozen; the restaurant is in full
swing; and the clubs-the sedate and
rather pompous Spanish, the more ami
mated and less formal Cuban on the
other side of the way-have resumed
the normal Inequalities of peace
times The Spaniard seems some
how to have disappeared, and with
him all vivacity The dull Cuban oc-
cupies the public places, and Santiago,
whether sulky or cowed, appears to
have no spirits left. At the Anglo
American club, however, there are
always the brightness of good COM
