New Feat in Telegraphy.

The fact Is not generally known that
the trunk lines of tie United Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company be-
tween this city aud Po,tsville aud Dan.
Vile and ShamOsin aud other points
are being used slmu tsneo1sly for tee.
phouing and transmitting messages by
teleg aph.
The fact that wires could be emplo7-
ed in this dual capacity is recent
oveTy. During the past six months,
no Sever, the same wires on few of
the railro ID lines have been used for
10th relegrsphing and telephoning. AS
a telephone line, however, the United
is among the pioneers in ado ltiBR the
new method.
The trunk line between DanviIle
aud Sunbnry and b5tWeen DAnville
aud Shamokin and on TO PottsVille are
u,ed for both telephoning and tele
graphing. Between the hours OF a.
III. aud p, IN. each day the wires be-
tween DInvIlle and Po tsville, especi.
ally, are hot with telegraph messages,
while during the same hours the tele.
phones are operating and the people
are talking over the wire unconscious
of the double manner in which the
line is employed. In either capacity
the wire works to perfection.
B. V. Denk q Company, Brokers,
OF New York who have offices at Dan
vile, Shamokin, Pottsville and other
places in telegraphing use the wire OF
the United Telephone and Telegraph
Company. Between New York and
Pottsville the Brokers use the Postal
Telegraph.
In short time the United Telephone
aud Telegraph Company expects to be
able to telegraph directly to Philadel-
pIlIa over its trunk lines.
The electrical connection required
for using line for telegraphing and
telephOning simultaneously is in
tricate, but the use of the wire in this
way is not expensive and business can
be done at less outlay than where a
/ line is maintained for either telegraph.

MARCH PREDICTIONS
OF PROPHET HICKS

Rev. ira Hlcks the weather prophet.
who foretold the January aud FeI
ruary Billiards, makes the following
predictions for-March:
The first marked disturbances for
March will De central on the 5rd 4th
and 9Th, with rain aud high winds on
and touching the 5th, ending in snow
storms over much of the country to the
northward. The 5th to the 18th will
bring marked storm period, culminat
ing In rising temperature and general
storm conditions, ending in wide areas
OF rain and snow. Another high baro-
meter and March cold wave NAV sud
denly slip in from the northwest from
about tha Eth to the 18th, but it will
give way as suddenly as it came. and
the most general and violent storm
conditions of the month will appear
during the storm period Immediately
following.
The storm period is from the 18th to
the 24th, being at its center on the
2lst. This is storm period that every
student reasonably familiar with our
forecasts will watch with much in.
terest. The indication are that tropical
storms AMI hurricanes will reach the
extreme parts of our south country
about the 18th to 22d. notably on and
touching the 2lst, and that rain aud
high winds turning To snow and very
cold for the season, will meet the
tropical, equatorial storms from the
northwest \ severe March blizzard
over much Of the country northward
is among the probabilities at this
period.
A reactionary storm period VIII be
central o. the 27th, 28th and 29th. At
this time the temperature will rise
decidedly and general storms of rain
and wind, turning to snow in the
north, will pass eastwarily across the
country, all followed by another decid-
ed rise OF tie barometer. northwestern
~ winds and much colder.
. The public should keep in mind the
possibility of disastrous floods during
the month of March. Frozen streams
aud rivers that do not break up in Feb
ruary will bring absolute danger to all
localities not entirely above the reach
of such danger. The month will not
bring a maximum of cold. but much
precipitation in the form of rain, slaet
or snow will occur. with dsagrceable
fluctuations of temperature, an un-
steady state of the barometer and some
furious storms.

The Early Bird.

Why is it one person always
seems to do just the right thing
for everybody at Christmas,
while another person who spends
as much or even more money
for presents, seems to give
everybody the wrong thing?
There are several reasons, of
course, for this difference, but
the main reason is that the per.
son who invariably hits it off
right, begins his or her planning
and buying in time.
Do your buying quick and get
the first pick! IT'S the early
bird catches the worm. The
beautiful things that appeal to
you at first sight may be gone
in a week, and there is nothing
more disheartening than to be
forced to put up with second
best beca use you let the best
slip. There is nothing so fatal
to zest as regret.-Quincy Her.
