Much Owed to Lord Kelvin.

It is perhaps not generally known that the success of the Atlantic cable was due to the calculations and ex- periments of the late Lord Kelvin, at that time plain William Thomas. He discovered that the current through g long cable would arrive gradually at the receiving end, and devised the apparatus which rendered it possible to utilize such current for making the Morse signals. It was through dis regard of his theoretical predictions that the first Atlantic cable, in 1858, was ruined by too powerful currents. Without his mirror galvanometer to translate into visible signals the deli cate impulses received through the Cable, the enterprise would have been complete failurs.-Youth's Com panion,

 Russell, whose suite of rooms ad- joined Freddy Lords, was sitting at a big desk-table, in shirt sleeves, pipe upside down between his teeth, green shade over his eyes, boring over the design for music hall or lunatic asylum-it looked like either.
 Well, old man." he said cheerfully, without Joking up, back so soon? How did you hit it off?'
 Receiving no reply, he raised his head to see his friend huddled in chair, chin sunk on breast, the picture of abject misery.
 Good heavens, man." he ejacu- lated, right-line pen suspended above the drawing board, "she refused you!"
 "No, she didn't!" retorted Freddy.
 Russell rose to his feet.
 She accepted him! An engaged man with that face on him! This is bliss, what could be blister?" he said.
 I'm not an engaged mani" snapped Freddy.
 Not engaged, and not refused. Well, would you mind telling me what you are, then?"
 What am I?" repeated Freddy. I'm a dolt, a craven, a-a-jackass!"
 Russell resumed his seat, looking relieved.
 "Oh, see," he said, you flunked- I thought you would.'

 Well you see, old man, you started out with too self-confident air.
 Well, try it yourself once"
 Not I. I wouldn't do that for payi Still, if I was going to propose to girl, I should not depend on an inspira- tion. I should decide beforehand what I wanted to say, and then say it." remarked Russell, calmly.
 Suffering saints!'' said Freddy, pacing about the room, why didn't you unload all this advice before I went and made an ass of myself? Now, old fellow, tell me straight, if you were going to propose to a girl, what would you say to herr" he asked, light ing a cigarette.
 Say? Oh, that's dead easy. I'd say: Now, see here what's her name?"
 Mary Alice" replied Freddy, lit tie sheepishly.
 Well, 1 should say: Now, see here, Mary Alice, of course I don't pretend to have a line on your feelings, and I'm not a descendant of Croesus, nor yet of old Midas, but. how would you like to share my check book?' Now, that would fetch her, wouldn't it?' he finished triumphantly.
 Fetch Mary Alice? Cad, but you're innocent! Fetch Mary Alice with that! Why, she'd say: Down, Bruno, down on your knees and beg for it!' and down you'd go, tool"
 "Fudge!" responded Russell.

I didn't know whether 1 was whitewashing a ton of coal or rolling a peanut down hill backwards"

Il don't believe it!" Freddy flung at him politely.
 Well, you don't have to. Anyhow, you said girls wanted a lot of love making business?"
 T should think yes! love, Tom, they like it as kitten loves a warm brick in the winter time," informed Freddy.
 And you cant say the words to her face?"
 No, I can't"
 Russell looked his suffering chum over critically. Well, Miss McAlden has a phono- graph, has she not?"
 Yes; but what of it?''
 NOW" said Russell, If you are serious about this proposal, you do ex- actly as I tell you, follow all my in structions, and tomorrow night at this time you will be an engaged man."
 Freddy gasped. "Are-aren't we taking quite a lot for granted?" he asked.
 Not bit of tits a sure go. Here it is in a nutshell: propose by phono- graph"
 "But-but how?'
 How? Have l got to tell you how?'

 Never heard of such a thing? Of course, you haven't! That's a bran. span new idea all my own, and I'm going to have it patented. But, see here, we've get to hurry up. What time is it? Ten-thirty. Well, you hustle around the corner as fast as you can and get some records"
 "Recort,S? 2" echoed Freddy
 "Yes, records. Blankety blank roo. ords-and you make tracks, tool"
 Freddy seized his hat and made a dive for the door.
 Get a dozen records!" yelled Rus sell after the departing man: you'll need every one of 'em"
 in ten minutes Lord was back again, breathless and enthusiastic.
 In less than no time a blank record was in place, and Russell stood. ready to set it in motion.
 "All ready, old man." he said; stand up near and smile at the lady now begin'
 Suddenly all Freddy's eagerness, en- thusiasm and self-confidence forsook him. His jaw dropped and he gazed at his friend helplessly.

 Freddy flew mad
 No, you haven't" he rapped out "and if you'll just leave me to myself a few minutes I'll do my own propos- ing,"
 Left alone, young Lord approached the phonograph with a return of all his self-confidence. He reached for the lever and opened his mouth. It stayed open.
 'Jehosephat!" he exclaimed, at last. His cuffs cane ripping off. Then he lighted a cigar and, Hopping down in a chair, gave himself up to medita- tiou.
