The Telegraph and Electric Roads.

In this country telegraph engineers
are in many places encountering seri-
GUS difficulties in the operation of
their circuits by the encroachmcnts
Of electric traction systems. AS the
employment OF high potential alter
mating current for electric traction
purposes expands, as II is doing very
rapidly throughout all parts OF the
United States IL is obvious that tele-
graph engineers will have to face
numerous problems from harmful IN
duction and conduction effects from
this cause. II is. in fact, not easy to
foretell what the ultimate effect OF
these high potential alternating cur
rent circuits upon the telegraph ser
! vice will be. In the event OF the gen
eral electriflcation Of steam railways
II Is probable that II will in many
cases become necessary TO remove
the telegraph lines from the vicinity
Of the railway tracks and seek rights
OF way removed TO a safe distance
therefrom. Indeed, this action has
already been taken by one Of the tele-
graph companies between New York
and New Haven in anticipation of the
electrifcation Of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railway

Nourishing the Soul.

Why should not everybody, espe-
cially every church member, belong
to the Sunday-school? asks the editor
of the Observer. Surely no one can
lay claim to sufficient knowledge OF
the Bible. Even the most scholarly
men Of the age are constantly study
ing the Old Book, and are ever find
ing something new in It. In spite Of
the sensation produced by recent
works OF fiction. the Bible is more
discussed to-day than any other book,
and the interest is of the intensest
kind. Such a bool ought 10 be stud
led regularly by every person. We
are. convinced that by Joining the
Sunday-school and making use OF the
best helps in Bible study. the best
results can be secured. Good helps
are cheap, for one thing. Then the
study OF certain portions OF the Bible
every week will tend 10 regular and
systematic habits of nourishing the
soul with the very food that IL most
needs.--Ram's Horn.

The latest application OF the air
and steam blast is in the rejuvcna-
ton OF worn-out files. a piece Of
portable apparatus has been recently
introduced as part OF the equipment
OF the workshop by which ninety per
cent OF the discarded files OF the shop
may be reclaimed at trining cost
Furthermore the file Is capable OF be
ing sharpened in this manner from
four to six times The device In a
comparatively small one, somewhat
like forge in appearance, and hav-
ing a hood Under the latter is a
rack for holding the file which is TO
be operated upon. The jet, which
may be air or steam, or n combina-
tion OF both, is laden with some
abrasive and IL strikes the file at an
angle OF from fifteen TO thirty de
grees. In this manner the blast acts
upon the back or sloping edge Of the
teeth. The abrasive material falls In
TO a pocket containing water and Is
drawn from this receptacle and used
over and over again until II becomes
broken up into such fine particles that
II floats off in the overflow OF water.
The cost OF this renewal is said TO be
one-tenth that Of a new tool. Hack-saw

MAORI TRADITIONS.

Legends and Customs Of the Natives
Of New Zealand.
Many traditions Of the Maoris Of
New Zealand indicate true refinement
Of feeling. That Of Niwareka, or Great
Delight, is one Of these and represents
a gentle Maori maiden. beautiful and
modest, who. though deeply loving her
bridegroom, yet shudders at the bar
barity of his people and at his delight
Tn bloodshed and cruelty. Unable TO
bear the sights and sounds around her,
she passes from his embrace and seeks
the shadows of another world Only
through great suffering and sacrifice
does her young husband, unable to bear
his solitary lot. redeem her from the
shades. This beautiful legend is bound
up with the origin Of the custom Of the
tattoo, an ordeal which the lover was
compelled to endure that he might
realize the nature Of suffering.
One OF the finest legends Of old Mao
RI romance relates how daughter of
the heavens condescends TO dwell with
man, but repealed by his rudeness
and want Of sympathy. ascends again
to the SKIES carrying with her her
earth born child Her husband IL only
able to reach her and regain her love
by climbing upward, not by earthly
tendrfls, but by those which. descend,

One curious feature of the domestic
life Of the New Zealand natives is that
the old women are led to believe that
the highest honor they can enjoy Is to

prepare the food. A great deal of la
