Made Him Homesick.

When tie first Turkish minister,
Mele Mele. came to Washington, q
grand ball was planned in his honor
Hundreds Of invitations were sent out.
and nearly everybody who received
one came, OR there was much curios-
ity to see the important Turk in his
native dress. Particularly were per-
sons anxious to examine the splendid
dress turban which had been described
and talked about, made, as it was, Of
plaster Of paris, yet looking like the
finest muslin. When the evening ar
rived, Mele Mele seemed to be the only
one who was not having a good time.
He stood looking as If he did not know
that everybody was admiring him and
altogether was very much bored till
suddenly he caught a glimpse of big
negro woman who was assisting in
serving the supper. Instantly he
rushed up to her and, throwing his
arms about her neck, gave her good
kiss, explaining that he could not help
it, she reminded him so much of his
best and most expensive wife, and.
while the company thought it a very
odd thing to do, everybody could un-
derstand that he was a homesick man
and nobody minded it in the least.

Have you never wondered how
when wire is broken or damaged be-
tween two distant cities the operator,
sitting in his Office, can tell exactly
where the accident has occurred?,>
The explanation is very simple. II
requires force to send. electricity
through wire. TIE longer the wire
is the greater Is the force required. This
force is measured, but instead Of call
i, ing it pounds, as in measuring the
pressure in boiler, electricians call
the units Of electrical force "ohms."
Suppose wire between two offices
is $50 miles long, and that ON stormy
night it gets broken somewhere. The
telegraphist knows that when the wire
was sound it took just 2,10O ohms to
send current through. or II ohms
per mile. He now finds that he can
send a current with o1y 700 ohms.
He divides 700 by IA, and finds that
the break in the wire is fifty miles
from his end 81

The Differences:

There is good story told of Sir
Chieh Chen Lo Feng Luh, who was
formerly Chinese minister to England.
Years ago he was secretary to Ii Hung
Chang. He is very able man, and
among other accomplishments speaks
and writes English perfectly. The
story is given in 'The Navy as I Have
known It,"
Ii Hung Chang is reported to have
said to him, Il don't know how it is
we send our men to Europe and
America, and have foreign instructors
in our colleges, as do the japanese,
but we do not seem to derive the adj
vantage from their instruction which
the japanese do.'
To this Chieh Chen Lo Feng Luh re-
Piled:
''That is quite true. I was a class
mate Of the Marquis Ito in England.
He is now prime minister of Japan,
and l am your excellencys secretary"

The cession of the railroad, the
