When five minutes had passed the
jests became more pointed and the
shafts of witticism sank deeper, but
still Michael laughed. When ten min
utes had passed, and then is minutes,
and then half an hour, Michael was
decidedly uneasy.
Then a messenger handed note to
Michael. He suddenly left. without
giving an excuse, and went directly to
the home of Papa and Mamma Plislta.
They were in state of great excite
ment.
They could not find Mary! She
had robed herself in her wedding
gown with her mothers assistance,
and then. when her mother left to
put on her hat, Mary mysteriously
disappeared.
Michael thought deeply. At last he
asked the parents if they had gone
to the home of chum of Mary. They
had not. But they were sure she had
not gone there. Nevertheless, Michael
| got into a carriage and drove rapidly
to the home of Mary's chum.
And there he found Mary--all
| dressed in her bridal robes, with
bunch of real orange blossoms in her
hair, crying her pretty eyes out.
Michael asked her why she had not
come to the house. She cried in an
swer. He asked her again; and then,
amid her sobs, she told him she had
feared to face the crowd that would
witness the ceremony.
Michael left without a word. He
drove back to his cottage, told the
guests what had happened and that
the wedding was off. Some of them
suggested that he take the priest to
the home of Mary's chum and be mar
ried there. But Michael told them he
did not care to marry a girl who had
insulted him before his friends.
And the marriage ceremony has
never been performed.

INSULATION FOR WIRES.
Ice Is Used on Mont Blanc Telegraph
Line In Place of Posts and
Glass Insu1atOrs.

It is matter not simply of con-
venience, but of vital Importance, that
observatories situated on the tops of
high mountains should be able to keep
up constant telegraphic communica-
tion with stations at lower level.
Storms often rage for days and weeks
at high attitudes. with such violence as
to defeat al attempts at reaching the
observers; telegraph posts are swept
down by bowling winds and buried un-
der masses of snow, while the wires
themselves frequently give way under
the severity of the strain.
Realizing these difficulties, the au-
thorities of Mont Blanc wisely be-
thought themselves of inquiring wheth-
er the ice which perennially covers the
slopes of the mountain might not pos
sess sufficient insulating power to re-
place both telegraph posts and porce-
lain insulators.
To ascertain this some interesting ex-
periments were made by r. Lespian at
the request of DIR. Jansen. the head of
the observatory. A double line was laid
between the Grands Mulets at the sum-
init and the peculiar mass of rocks
known as the Petits Mulets, near the
base. Ordinary galvanized iron an
eighth of an inch thick in diameter was
used. 1t was stretched bare on the
ice, the two conductors, each of $500
feet in length. lying about 16 feet apart.
For the purpose of testing the in
sulation of the line the two wires were
left disconnected at the lower station,
while at the upper they were placed in
circuit with a delicate ammeter and
battery of IS large Declanche cells.
On pressing down the key the needle
of the ammeter did not move at all, but
remained steadily at its zero.
The ends of the wires at the lower
station were then pinned together. and
when the battery was reduced TO three
cells the needle flew at once over the
limit of the scale and remained there,
pointing to 80 milliamperes. These two
measurements clearly indicated that
the insulation of the line was excellent.
