So frequently and so suddenly did these remarkable tran- smons from in nor to delight take place that l began to asx mysell Ior an explana- tion 01 the mystery. 'i-he most plausible theory appeared to be either that; was reeling particularly wen when i found my work a source 01 so much pleasure, and the contrary when it became irksome, or that all depended upon the em- cicncy or deliciency or the operator at the other cnu ox tne Wire. hypotnesrs was proven to be wise, and not long alterwaru the misrty 01 the second was also estaousneu. ' A PECULIAR DlSCOV'Elh'. One day I lay on a cot in my office, ill with country lever. Hearing the omce call I staggered to the instrument and answered. The euort almost caused me to Hunt. my pulse bounded and my head throbbed wrtn acute pain. But. to my utter astonisnment, I leit wonderfully better the instant I be- gan receiving the message. I was even tempted after taking the train order to send 01:3 half a dozen messages accumu- lated Since morning, and Which had not' been transmitted because of my illness; but again, to my amazement, I had no sooner touched the key than I became utterly in- capacitated. My head. throbbed worse than ever, and again I felt myself about to faint. Thus vanisned my first theory. Not long after the incident just related I discovered these facts: First, it invari- ably filled me with delight to receive from that particular operator whose “Morse” had temporarily cured me of the fever, but to send to him or to any other operator was to experience only a uniform amount of labor, diminished or increased by oral— nary circumstances. Secondly, the operator in question was by no means a good one. In fact he was quite new to the business and was what is known as a “plug.” As compared with older and better telegraphers on the same circuit his writing was abominable. He sent viciously fast, did no spacing, formed his letters badly, and lacked that firmness and steadiness of stroke so essential in care- ful and intelligent work. Thus I, in com- men with all who worked with him. was obliged to guess as much that he sent, while it never failed to put me to my trumps to keep up with his lightning speed. And yet there invariably came over me that sense of dreamy pleasure, so delight- ful, so strange, so opposed to every atten- dant condition or circumstance, whenever it became my fortune to receive from him. And so vanished my second theory. One day I said to him over the wire, “It always makes me glad to take you.” “Do you mean it?” said he. I answered affirmatively. RECIPROCAL PLEASURE. “The more am I pleased,” he replied, “since all the others curse me. And do you know,” he continued, “that I find a peculiar and unaccountable pleasure in taking from you? I have been on the point of telling you so more than once.” That night - I wrote to him, describing my feelings when receiving from him, and asking an exchange of confidence. In his reply, which was promptly received, he said: “When you are sending I tingle all over. It is as if I were electrified.” Some fifteen years have passed since then, and I have during that time worked in many offices and with hundreds of opera- tors. I have learned that my early friend, “the plug,” is not the only man, by many, whom it has “made me glad to take.” Whenever I experience that subtle sensa- tion of pleasure and stimulus it is while receiving, never while sending, and from an operator who invariably feels a corre- sponding sensation while receiving from me. I began by confessing that I had no theory or theories to offer in explanation of the facts stated above, but I may be permitted to ask of better informed physiologists and psychologists two questions: Is that affinity which attracts people to each other and in- stantaneously makes friends of them, caus- ing them to thrill with pleasure whenever their hands clasp and they look each other in the eye, due in any degree to the pres- ence of an abnormal quantity of electricity in their respective bodies? Is it possible under these circumstances for one indi- vidual to communicate to another all of those influences which his presence and contact with him would inspire, over a telegraph Wire any distance in length, by means of a key whose handle or knob is insulated, and while the person absorbing those mysterious influences is removed 'from contact with the wire transmitting them? .. , It is evident to those who have thus far followed me that I, at least, would answer the latter interrogatory in the affirmative. To do otherwise would be to doubt the evi- dence of my own senses. If the editor should desire it I will, with- out loss of time, furnish him with any reasonable number of affidavits tending to prove the absolute truthfulness of every statement above made, and these affidavits shall be collected from old, experienced, trustworthy and well known telegraph o erators.—VV. B. Seabrook in New York un. - Truth. Adhere always rigidly and undeviat- ingly to truth; but while you express what is true, express it in;a pleasing manner. Truth is the picture, the manner is the frame that displays it to advantage. If a man blends his angry passions with his search after truth, become his superior by suppressing yours, and attend only to the . justness and force of his reasoning. Truth, conveyed in austere and acrimonious lan- guage, seldom has a salutary effect, since we reject the truth because we are preju- diced against tho mode of communication. The heart must be won before the intel- lect can be informed. A man may betray the cause of truth by his unreasonable zeal, as he destroys its salutary effects by the acrimony of his manner. \Vhoever would be a successful instructor must first become a mild and affectionate friend.--_: ,~ New Y orb Ledger. ,- nut soon the nrst é / GAZETTE WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 12 122.0 New Hie-rs scour THE ember-:2 ' Extraordinary Discoveries and Elucida- tions of a New Englander. r’eople from the country wno come to New York for the first time usually strike for the bridge aboutthe first thing. The other day there were two or three of them, apparently from somewhere up in New England They came along under the guidance of a townsman, l judge, wno had been to New York before, though it must have been an awful long time ago—as the man says in the play—and knew all the Sights. 'l'hey stopped at the Astor house, and after the man had taken them up to ‘l'wen- ty-third street ferry on a Bleecxer street car because it had “Broomyn bridge’7 on It, they came back and finally stumbled Into the promenade entrance. The amount of information they absorbed from their guide was great, but not so wonderful as its quality. One of the ladies in the party wanted to know What "those things”— meanlng the bridge cables—were made so - long for. “They're hallow,“ says the man. "You see, they are big pipes Which hold the bridge up and at the same time carry water across. 'l'nat‘s the way Brooklyn gets all its drinking water. its on an island, you know.” . 'w hen they got to the middle of the bridge someway noticed the arrangement by which the expansion and contraction of the structure in different temperatures is pI'OVluOd for, and wanted to know what that meant. “That’s for high tide and low tide,” says the man. “ when it's high tide they lift the bridge up so ships can r") under. and wncn its low tide they let 1. .an.” 'l'ne iron hand ropes stretched above the cables started, of course, a. volley of queries, and the. party was informed that before any man could be a fireman in New York he had to get out on the bridge and run up to the top of one of the towers holding the ropes. This was to satis- factorily demonstrate his agility. More than seventy men had lost their lives in this way, and there was talk of trying some other test. Then the man stood in the middle of the bridge and started off on his own book. He pointed out Staten island as Blackwell’s island, the place where criminals are con- fined; dcclared that Sandy Hook was up East river, pointed out a Portland steamer that had just passed under the bridge as “probably a Cunarder going to sea,” and, diverting his eloquence to Brooklyn, knocked about all the remaining facts in sight into smithereens. And the big, grim faced policeman, who had relieved the monotony of his beat by listening to this overpowering outburst, has been in a daze ever since, utterly un- able to make up his mind whether the man was guying his guileless friends, or “jest a natcherful born fool, y’ know.”—New York Herald. Why We Scream. So used are we to our “aggompaniment” that the organ must give it forth in more or less vigorous measure while the mar— riage ceremony is performed. The awful “charge” laid upon the conscience of the contracting parties, the pledge and re- sponse of husband and wife, the very pray- er and benediction, are lost in the waves of sound. If the average American had his way a brass band would be established in the vestibule instead of the piped and keyed instrument, but thus far church and pre- cedent are too strong for him. As a nation we are not musical. As a nation and as individuals we love flare and blare, sound and sensation. We like to feel that we have a big place in the uni- verse, aud to fill it—full! Satirists might trace a connection, remote but actual, be- tween our taste in this respect and the in- fluence of our national emblem—the bird that flaunts and soars and screams. W’e need toning down all along the line, and in nothing more than in our language and voices. The one is florid; the others are loud and untrained. In general society, too, many of our best dressed women suggest inevitably and ludicrously an English novelist’sdescrip- tion of peacocks, who “were attitudinizing and conversing in the high key in which they aIw ys proclaim a change of weather and their innate vulgarity to the world.” —Marion Harland in New York Herald. Fire Quenching at Sea. Investigation into the causes of the re- cent fires on steamships has shown that the use of a very simple means of fire ex- tinction, the injection of carbonic acid gas into the hold, is very often not resorted to when it would be of the utmost service. It is a matter for surprise that this effective safeguard which requires for its genera- tion only a few barrels of marble'dust and twenty or thirty gallons of hydrochloric acid, with hogsheads for the confinement of the gas and hose for its injection, is not universally employed for the preservatior- of life and property on the high seas, es- pecially as in the hold of a vessel, which can be tightly closed, the principal of chem- ical extinction can be applied with almost certain success. The adoption of such a. system would result not only in the saving of property, but might at any time prove the means of averting loss of life—New York Commercial Advertiser. Blind Mimicry. An example of blind and unthinking mimicry, such as most folks suppose the Chinese alone are given to, is seen in the little tool which fish dealers use for scrap- ing the scales off fish. The man who in- vented this scraper a few years ago made it by tearing apart a horse comb and at- taching one smooth blade to the handle in place of the row of toothed blades which had formed the comb. Other fish dealers saw him using his invention. and borrowed it to have others made like it. Thecopies were made with the useless earmarks of the horse comb, like the original. Now the article is a staple, and thousands are turned out, but the purposelcss relics of the comb are reproduced in every one.— New York Sun. Councilmanic Teas. The inner life of the London county council is of the simplest character. The council does not dine together; it teas. The tea room is the most primitive of institu- tions. The tea is handed round in big thick cups, and the bread and butter and cake are of a thoroughly democratic type. The noise of the debate comes through the door which opens on to the council. The bulk of the tea room has the-simple unconventional air which marks the whole assembly, and makes such a refreshing contrast , to the pomposity and well fed city airs of the metropolitan board—Lon- don Star. The annual cost to Russia for her pigeon station is nearly $400,000. Many experi- ments have been made during military maneuvers to test the use of the carrier pigeons in keeping up communications with the Russian army and a detached force,-,andthey have proved to be of the utmost pOSSible' value at a. time When tele- " graphing would be utterly impracticable. USES OF SKY ROCKETS. Invented by the Chinese, They Were First Used in War, Now in Saving Life. indispensable to the Fourth 01 July cele- bration is the sky rocket. But- hundreds of years before a Fourth of July celebra» tionwas thought of the sky rocket was usedas a warlike projectile. We are in— dented to the Chinese for it, though all the rockets that are now used in this country are made here. The rocket was used for purposes of war in China as long ago as the early part of the Eighth century. it was soon adopted by the Europeans. who, however, up to the first part 01 the present century used it mainly for signaling and as a means of setting hrs to besieged cities. Many im- provements have been introduced, and rockets are made which will carry a five pound shot 6,000 yards. The motive power of a rocket is the pres sure against the air of gases generated by I I the burning of the composition which it ' contains. or vents in the base of the cylinder con- '1'he gases escape through holes , taining the composition, and give thus a . forward or upward motion to the rocket, - as the case may be. The long stick or tail is added to keep the projectile steady in its course. Rockets have long been used by the life saving service as signals, and all ships carry a dozen or more on every voyage, which they send up as signals of distress in case disaster overtakes them. But they are now likely to play a still more impor- tant part in the work of saving lives of shipwrecked mariners, since a rocket has been invented which bids fair to take the place of the mortar and shot at present used to carry lines from the shore to dis- tressed vessels. With the mortar and shot a. line is at- tached to a heavy metal slug or shot, which is then fired from the mortar on shore into or over the rigging of the ship. This line is then secured by the people on the vessel, who thus establish communi- cation with the store. But when this method is adopted at night the endangered sailors sometimes have great difficulty in finding the line when it has been carried through the rig- ging; and if the man on shore fails rightly to calculate the velocity of the wind, or from any cause aims badly, so that the slug falls into the sea. without first going over the vessel, it sinks, and the line, for which the shipwrecked mariners are wait- ing with blanched faces and beating hearts, is useless. The new life saving rocket consists of a drawn steel tube, three and one-half inches in diameter and twenty-four inches long, charged with a composition which expels the gases from the tube with a pressure of sixty tons to the square inch, and drive the rocket With great velocity. Attached to this tube is a wooden float and a torch. The torch is lighted by the burning rocket, and should it chance to fall into the water instead of upon the ship, the little flame of the torch, supported by the float, can be seen at once. Very likely the , float, with its attached line, may be secured by the sailors. The torch would also show the position of the rocket should it stop in the rigging. The composition with which the ordi~ nary exhibition rocket is filled is made of niter, charcoal and sulphur, and the brill- iant sparks and stars of the long, fiery trail are iron or steel filings or borings, made red hot by the burning composition, and expelled with the gases. These form what is known in the tradeas “Chinese brilliant flre.”—Edward Marshall in Youth’s Companion. Several Notable Aqueducts. The High bridge over the Harlem river is 114 feet above high water mark and 1,460 feet long. The principal bridge of the aque- duct of Antioch was only 700 feet long, but it was 200 feet high. The aqueduct bridge of Segovia, in Spain, also built by the R0- mans, is 2,400 feet long and 102 feet high. The aqueduct near Spoleto, built by the Byzantines in the Seventh or Eighth cen- tury, is 300 feet in height. At Mayence are the ruins of a. Roman aqueduct 16,000 feet long and carried on from 400 to 600 pillars. The Pyrgos, or Crooked aqueduct, still serves to convey to Constantinople the waters of a valley situ- ated on the heights of Mount Haemus, fifteen miles from the city. One section of this aqueduct is composed of three rows of arches, one row above another, which are collectively 106 feet in height—New York Ledger. Cleaning Boilers with Oil. It is stated that in recent experiments the cleaning of boilers with oil has been found economical and effective in prevent- ing rust scale, besides exerting a cleansing influence on the pipes. The best results were obtained by the use of two quarts per week on boilers four feet in diameter and twelve feet long, and three quarts a. week for boilers five feet in diameter. The kero- sene is introduced through a. quarter-inch branch to the suction pipe of the feed pump, leading to the vessel containing the oil, so that any quantity, large or small, could be’ put into the boiler simultaneously with the usual feed—New York Telegram. Slap Books, Don’t Brush Them. The proper way to clean books is to take two of about the same size and strike their sides smartly together several times, until all the dust is expelled, and not apply cloth or duster to the gilt or leather. Books that are in open cases, with a simple curtain hanging in front of them, which can be easily pushed back and forth on a rod, re- tain their freshness just as Well as those which are put in closed cases. More dust will collect on books exposed, but it is a dust which comes off readily—New York Journal. The Greatest Diving Feat. The greatest diving feat ever achieved was in moving the cargo of the ship Cape Horn, wrecked off the coast of South America, when a .diver named Hooper made seven descents to a depth of 201 feet, remaining at one time forty-two minutes under the water. Siebe states that the greatest depth to which a man has been known to descend will hot exceed 210 feet, which would be equivalent to a pressure of eighty-eight and a half pounds per square inch—St. Louis Republic. Strange Accidents. Some very strange accidents are brought to light by the accident insurance business. For instance, a man atQZaliska, 0., a sta- tionary engineer, was kicked very-severely by a hog. It disabled him for quite anum- ber of weeks, and he was paid $97., Another case was that .of a man at Chillicothc, 0. As he was stooping to pick up somekindling wood a. game rooster gaffed him in the wrist, cutting an artery, which disabled him for some time—Chicago Herald. A Valuable Service.

A party of Jacksonville mechanics were at work on the Matanzas river raising a sunken dredge boat. They lived on board of the-big lighter on which they worked in a small house on the deck. One noon their bill of tare was somewhat strengthened by some wild turkey eggs which had been found by some of the party while hunting on shore. After the hungry engineers had destroyed a heavy dinner they left their dining room and returned to Work. The doors and windows were all open, and the cook did not clear off the table for some time. In this interval a large water moccasin of nearly six feet crawled on board the lighter and wriggled into the dining room through the open door. In his prospecting tour he climbed the table leg, and here, i with a snake’s fondness for eggs, he went ' in for a feast. One of the turkey eggs lay alone by a plate, and the rest were in a dish on the other side of the. table. In the center stood a large water jug, and right here the wily serpent slipped up. After swallowing the lonesome egg he started for the main supper, and in his artless manner crawled through the handle of the jug. It was a rather tight fit, and he had to stop about half way through on account of the egg, which en- larged him somewhat. So stretching for- ward he bolted another egg, and thereby fastened himself. On each side of the handle was an egg on his inside, and he could move neither back- ward nor forward, practically riveted in postion. He was soon found in this pecul— iar situation by the cook, who speedily killed him. The reporter was shown the skin of the snake with a crease still in the middle from the tremendous pressure, and he was also permitted to gaze on the jug whose handle proved so fatal.-—Florida Times- Union. Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness, Hay Fever A New Home Treatment. Sufferers are not generally aware that these diseases are contagious, or that they are due to the presence of living parasites in the lining membrance of the nose and eustachian tubes. Microscopic research, howcvcr, has proved this to be a fact, and the result of this discovery is that a simple remedy has been formulated whereby catarrll, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are permanently cured in from one to three simple applications made at home by the patient once in two weeks. N. B.—Tllis treatment is not a snuff or an ointment; both have been discarded by reputable physicians as injurious.

A boy was knocking the horse chestnuts off a tree on Cass avenue when a pedes- trian observed: “I suppose you think they will act as a charm to ward off rheumatism, but they won’t." “I didn’t suppose they would,” replied the lad. "Then what do you want of them?” “To act as a charm to ward off lickings. I know a boy who carried four of them in his pockets and didn’t get licked in four straight weeks!”-—Detroit Free Press.
