Ah far bnck aH July, 11)01, tho ttlcc trophono company, limited, of London aiiiioiiuced that If a Hiidlclont numhet of telephone nubHcrlbeiH could bu no cured a regular liouso Mcrvlce of telo phonic theatrical and mimic hall per formancen could bo funilnhcd at ?2'i a year. A mihxcrlhcr wlHhlug to hear a particular concert Hlmply would have to call up tho central olllco and unit for that connection. London nowHpa pern hnvo been tlio firm, however, to iiiako commercial application of the device. A party of JoumnlhitH was Invited by the Kloctrophouo company to IIhIcd at lut oIIIcch In Loudon to Mr. llalfonr'u Kpeech at Hhellleld, 'SM mlUn away. They were UHhered Into tho reception room, and each man wiih Heated befoio a double telephone receiver. Jut ho foio tho beginning of tho nddrcHK those were adJUHted over the earn, and every word of tho Kpeech wiih distinctly heard from beginning to end. The HlinrpueiiH of enunciation mid tho lind IngH of tono were accurately reproduced. Tho electruiliono Is n modified form of telephone. Tho transmlttcra, which correspond to tho mouthpleco of tlio ordinary telephone, aro very large, powerful nnd Hcmdtlvc. In transmit ting Mr. 1 Id I four's speech six of these, mounted on a heavy cns Iron bnse, which rented on felt mats, were placed on n table at tho front of tho platform. Only two wero used, tho oilier four be ing held In reserve In caxo of accident. Tho BUCcoBH of tho Hhellleld experi ment Induced tho company to lit up n similar lino between Glasgow nnd Greenock for reporting Air. Chamber laln'H speech at tho latter place. Tour reporters at tho olllco of tho Glasgow Evening Citizen "took tho speech," and got the greater part of It without nny trouble. Several tliucn Mr. Chainlwr lain stepped out In front of the tabid on which tho transmitter stood, and this led to couMdorublo blurring. Twc extra transmitters which had been plncctl nt the edge of tlio platform Wero unconsciously mullled by lint being placed over them, but even uu dor these ndverso conditions a very good result won obtained. A Hubseipient speech of Mr. Cham berlain'ti at lllrmlughnm was reported by electrophono for tho London Daily Mali, and tho paper containing the speech verbatim wan oelllng on the streets less than half tm hour after Its delivery. ONE HORSE RAILROAD. Client) nml Hnncflve Ailiiilnllnn i( Mouorull Iilcu, Light railways nro used to n much greater extent In Kuropo than In this country. Narrow gauge llnea nro quite common there, and In some parts of Franco tho engines used on theao lines appenr wholly InsufUclcnt for tho ho rlous work which they really perform. In Home cases their motive power la do rived from unphthn. It wnu thought thnt tho minimum limit of economy had been reached In tho construction of tho narrow gnugo Hue, but a patent hna been recently Is KQUrNU UOTIVI! TOWKII. ' Bttcd for n system of transportation which lias tho distinction of being of Htlll smaller dimensions, in fact, It has but a single rail. This pntent has been issued to n Viennese engineer. Tho enrs of this system nro mounted on two wheels, one following tho other nnd both deeply grooved to prevent them from leaving the rail, The car is balanced 011 tlio tracks by being par tially supported on the hack of tho horso or other nnlmal which comprises tho motlvo power. An arm fastened rigidly to tho vehicle pnsscB over nnd partly around the horse and rests on a saddlo suitably conbtructed for tho pur poso. In addition, tho animal is har nessed to tho car In the usual mnuner with tho uso of truces, and the work of mov.lug the load lu done In this way, Ilnrdcnltiir Woo it Willi Suunr. rilling tho pores with sugar hna somewhat surprising effects, upon wood.

TRAFFIC IN QUEEN BEE8, A Cnrloui) IlualnoNs CitrrloA on r Wevr Yurie Hxporter. Of tho many orders for queer things received by New i'ork exporters from varJotii quarters of tho gloho perhaps none Is moro Interesting than an occa sional request for queen bees. Much or ilcr como principally from the Went Indies, and Inasmuch us tho cwtnmls Hlou merchant In generally called upon to handle tho honey and wax produced thero by the progeny of these Insects he llnds 11 safe business Investment In shipping tho bees, even though they form no source of profit In themselves. Queen bees nro reared In tho west and south In the dlstrlcU where clover is abundant, and the Industry Is by no means Insignificant. Ohio is u large breeding center. There Is one firm In Medina which has 000 colonics devoted to tho tearing of high class honey queens. Thero nro many grnden of queen bees, nnd the breeder must thoroughly under stand tho highly organized Insects If ho expects to produce vigorous, healthy stock. Tho prices vary according to tho grades. An untested queen costs $1, n tested queen ?2 nnd thoso cnlled select tested ?3. I Heeding queens nnd Kclcct breeding queens bring $5 nnd 57.C0 re spectively, nnd nn "extra oclcct" one-year-old Is worth $10. Imported Italian queens furnished by tho best breeders of that country arc tho ones usually sent to tho West In dies, nnd they arc thoroughly tested In the western apiaries before shipment They cost from ?3 to $5 each, but com mon Italian queens bred In tills country from puro imported stock can bo bought nt lower figure?. I lees cannot bo supplied boforo May 15 nor later than Nov. 15. They travel In n certain amount of luxury, being shipped In ventilated boxes containing one or moro roomy apartments. All the cages, as they are called, aro provi sioned with spccinl beo candy, bo that tho queen may never go hungry, nnd the export cages In addition with n small portion of scaled honey. Tho honey and tho prepared food make n satisfactory combination, and 50 to 75 per cent of tho queens nro delivered nllve, no matter wbnt length tho Jour ney may be. IJccs for export trnvel In cages lar ger than the ordinary sl7.o nnd tome to New York through tho malls or by ex press, nftcrwnrd going to their West Indian destination, not in n znallbag, but under tho euro of tho steampr's pursor. The cages are marked "Queen bee; deliver quick," and postmen, ex pressmen and ship's otllccrs follow the instructions faithfully. Home.

IIimt to Uciiovnto Mntthiir. In taking up matting tho tack heads sometimes lenvo circles of rust. When the matting Is to bo turned this docs not make much difference, but If you wish to remove rust stains hnvo In rcndIno3B oomo muriatic acid, dry cloths, a hot Iron, u sponge, a bowl of boiling water, an old nailbrush and n bucket or two of cold water.

MOSES' BURNING BUSH. A NntHrnl Curlotlty Vlclt TenJi to Explnla Ullitlcnt Sflrnclc. Kew gardens, London's celebrated horticultural grounds on the Thames, has n new plant which Is of uncom mon iutcrest becnuso of tho light which It seems to throw on ono of the most famous of tho Old Testament miracles. This plant has just been brought from tho Arabian desert, and numerous scientists declare It to be Identical with the "burning bush" which Moses saw burst Into flnmc nt his approach and blaao for eonie time without being consumed. The plant nt Kew, which grows to the height of five or six feet, possesses the roinarfc able property of exhaling an Inflam mable gas from Its flowers, which, on belug approached by a light, take's fire and burns brightly for a few mo ments. The plant in tho meanwhile remains uninjured owing to It3 sap. In the hot deserts of Arabia, where the plant naturally grows more vigor ously than nt Kew, a larger quantity of tills gas Is exhaled, and It Is prob able that the fierce rays of tho sun .frequently cause it to take fire. It can not bo said that tho dlscovory of this plant :and its Btrango characteristics adds greatly to tho Imprcsslvencss of the Blblo story, but there it is, to bo re garded ns you please. In appeaVonce the "burnlug bush" plant suggests nn arid; sterilo habitat. Its leaves are Of a 'dull sago green col or, aud tho gas cxhallog .blossoms aro pale pink. It Is not generally known 'tlmt.numer ous flowers give forth gases In ,a small degree, notably tbo Illy of the valley nnd tho meadow sweet. The blossouis of both these plants exhale tho iumes j I or aeauiy prurisic nciu uy mum, mm all flowers throw off considerable quan tities of carbonic ncld gns In tho dark Kjcss, this being why It is unhealthy to kjep flowers in a bedroom. 4loa,tUern I'nolflo to Barn Oil.
