Died on Devils Islar /.

Only the other day there died on
Devils Island, the French convict set
tlement off Cayenne, the man who in
vented and patented the .telegraphic
system now universally adopted in
France, and known as the multiple
transmission system. Victor Nimault
twenty years ago, was an electrical
employe Of the French telegraphic
service. In 1871 he discovered and le-
gally protected a system Of multiple
transmission, on which he had been
busted for years. Almost coincident-
ally a M Baudot (not an oficiaD in
vented a somewhat similar apparatus.
This NJ. Baudot, being a personal
friend of NJ. Raynaud, the director Of
the telegraphie department, found
favor with that gentleman. and the
Baudot system was finally accented
and universally adopted as the better
of the two Victor Nimault brought
action against NJ. Baudot and NJ. Ray
maud, and, after losing lawsuit after
lawsuit, fired at and mortally wounded
M. Raynaud. The unhappy inventor
was tried, sentenced to Imprisonment
for life, and in due course was sent out
to Cayenne. Twenty years haying
he was recently pardoned by
President Loubet. A subscription made
by bis friends in France left by the
same boat which took out his pardon.

died the day before port was made.
The irony Of # all Is that poor Nj |
Inault's system has been in use in
France fol mnny years now; for, after
he was sentenced, it was found to be
preferable to the one adopted and ap-
proved by Raynaud, the then director
Of the telegraphic department.

From the description this old stove
is something after the fashion Of the

Which to Wash Windows.
There is a prominent doctor in
Germantown who is busy telling a lit
tie joke on himself, says the Phila-
delphia Telegraph. It appears that
he employed an Irish servant. who
had just arrived from the "ouId sod. J"
Starting out one morning, he noticed
his Office windows were rather dirty,
and calling Bridget he instructed her
TO clean them before he returned. At
the same time he told her that he
would stop and purchase a new
chamois skin and send it home, and
with this she was to clean the win
dows. After he had gone his rounds
he returned to his office. Glancing at
the windows he found them thickly
streaked with grease He called
Bridget, and the following coloquy
took place:
Bridget, didn't l tell you to clean
the windows?"
Yes, sor."
And didn't I tell you to use the
new chamois?"
Yes, sor."
We'll, did you use it?"
Sure, I did, sor"
Let me see the chamois," said
the doctor, and Bridget promptly
brought it. Then for the first time he
learned that his wife had left the
house a half hour before he did in
the morning and had sent home some /
tripe. The doctor declines to say
what happened to the chamois skin.

Views Of Prof. verrill on the Recent
Eruption.
Some Of the phenomena attending
the destruction Of St. Pierre have
been difficult to explain, especially
the sheet Of fame that seems to have
accompanied or closely followed the
violent explosion OF gas.
Pref Verrill Of Yale states his view
to be that the heat is sufficient to
cause the dissertation of hydrogen
and oxygen from water coming sud-
denly into contact with the lava IN the
crater and that in the case OF sea
water chloride would be dissociated
from sodium.
These gases suddenly elected with
great violence and exploding in the
air above the crater would produce
the effects manifested en- SO great a
scale at Martinique.
The people were killed by the sud-
den explosion of a vast volume of
hydrogen and oxygen; and this ac-
counts for the sudden burning Of flesh
and clothes, as well as Of buildings
and Of vessels in the roadsread.
The chlorine combining with some
Of the hydrogen would produce hydro
chloric acid, which is poisonous and
suhocating and would quickly kill all
those not destroyed by the first ex-
plosion.
