 Tba4 Aboiistfsd ehs A,ss of the Tape. Ezra Cornell Is known in history as the father of Cornell university, as one of the men who helped to build the first telegraph line and as an ar dent organizer of telegraph systems in the early. days. being instrumental in the formation of the now famous Western Uni0u Telegraph company. His son, Alonzo B. Cornell, became ultimately vice president of the West ern Union and governor. of New York state-high commercial and political honors-
 Yet he once confessed to me that he felt he should be credited with the additional honor of having made the discovery that telegraph messages could be read by ear, and he seemed to take more pride in his part in bring ing this about than he did in any of his other achievements.
 T was trained as a telegraph opera tor,n said Mfr. Cornell in telling ne the story. 'I suppose took to telegraphy naturally because of my fathers deep and large interests in the then new mode of communication. Anyway, learned the Morse key easily. and was, in fact. very fond of telegTaphing from both the practical and the scien- tifc etandpoints.
 ~One afternoon. sometime in the ear ly lfties, when was stationed at AL bany, N. T.. there was an unusual in- rush of newspaper dispatehes-I was in charge of the press key-and in the midst of the task of receiving them 1 found to my consternation that 1 was out of tape. Before taking my seat before the key had neglected to re plenish the tape reel.
 'There was a bountiful supply of tape in the cellar of the building, but it was a long trip there-there were no elevators in those days-and knew that to go there I would waste pre- cious time And there were those anx- ious newspaper men hanging over my shoulder.
 Suddenly. as I fshed about mental ly for the quickest way out of my dilemma. this thought popped into my head: You don't need any tape. Half ! the time you don't look at it when the dispatches are. coming in before you write them out You trust to your ears to tell what the instrument says ifWhy not Ao so nowr Instantly I de termined to see whether or not could take the dispatches by sound alone.

A Cargo Hard to Handle.

Asphalt is said to be the most diff cult cargo for vessel to unload. The asphalt is taken out of the asphalt lakes in Trinidad in a semif1uid state and by the time the vessel reaches 8 northern port has hardened, so that to unload it it is necessary for the mel to go into the hold and dig it out with pick and shovel. This takes time, and a vessel carrying such cargo always has to arrange for a considerable stay in port.

Waterino tho Horss,

It is allowable when a horse is hot to let him have three or four swallows of cool water, but no more. The few swallows will help cool him, and an- other limited drink may be given every few minutes fer four or i've times, after which he may drink his fill with out danger. In careless or inexpe- rienced hands, however. the. only safe way is to let the horse stand for half an hour or more with no water until he is fairly cooled of.-Country Life In America.
