The Telephone la War
An interesting experiment of install
ing a telephone by trotting cavalry m
recently successfully nudertalten by
come Prussian uhlans between Berlin
Dud Potsdam. Two seta of one officer
and two noncommissioned officers pro
ceeded in the early morning from Ber
lin to Potsdam. Each net was equipped
with a complete telephoue apparatus,
which one of the men carried in a
. leather case ou his chest, besides the
requisite quantity of thin wiiei. The
end of the wiie was connected with the
respective towns' telephone statioo,
and the wire was, by mean of fcak
fixed at the end of the lance, thrown
over the tops of the trees along the road.
As each kilometer of wire was thus sus
pended a halt was made and it was as
certained whether there was connection
with the station. A new kilometer of
wire was then connected with the for
mer, and on went the men. The two
sets met at Teltow. The wires, having
been respectively tested with their re
spective stations, were connected, and
telephonic connection between Berlin
and Potsdam was established. The dis
tanee is about 80 miles, and the whole
thing was done in about four hours.

" A Prince's Gift.
The imperial princes have an English
governess, whom they look np to with
reverential awe, though notwithstand'
log, or perhaps fur that very reason,
they are greatly attached to her. A
short while ago this lady's birthday was
the occasion of sundry presentations
from her little pupils and their august
parents. Among the valuable tokens of
liberality the governess noticed an in
significant looking cardboard box.
"Whatever is this?" she said as she
took it up in her hand.
Here Prince Oscar drew himself np
to his full height and replied, "That is
from rue!"
"But it is empty," remarked the as
tonished recipient
And the little prince replied: "Tea,
it is empty now, but tomorrow papa is
going to pull my first tooth, and the
box is to put it in. Then I'll give it to
you."
- Next day, sure enough, the little
man, his face beaming with delight,
presented the tooth to his teaober, who
now wears it as a trinket on her bangle.

Death of tha Crowing Hea.
: At a very recent date, in many parts
of our country, it was sign of bad
lock for a hen to crow. Just why, is
difficult to trace. Perhaps because it
was considered the assumption by a
female of masculine prerogatives. When
ever a hen dared attempt it, she was
run down by the united efforts of all
the children on the premises, and her
head paid the forfeit
A recent traveler in Kentucky writes
that while Ticking at the country home
of a friend a ben was heard to crow.
Instantly the c.F was raised : "Catch
berl . Kill her!" He interposed in the
hen's behalf by reminding his hosts
that this was an "age of rights," and
she was therefore not guilty of any
wrongdoing. They scoffed at his hetero
doxy, and the clamor that followed pre
pared him for the return of the pursuers

Acutely Pure
TH6 ROMANCE OF THE TELEGRAPH.
ml tew Odd IMmewlMea of Opera tin
a 1.1m Throag-h Qaeer Ceeatrtee.
A good deal of romance hovers around
the means by which the world's news is
gathered. The speed and accuracy with
which telegraph messages are trans
mitted between the uttermost porta of
the earth ia marvelous when the condi
tions under which they are sometimes
transmitted are considered.
The Indo-European telegraph line
offer a good illustration. It runs from
London to Lowestoft on the east coast
of England, It then dips under the sea
to Eniden, on the German coast, whence
it passes through Germany to the Rus
sian frontier. From this point the wire
passes bv wav of Warsaw, Kowuo, Odes
sa, the Caucasus, and Tiflis to Persia,and
by Tauria to Teheran, the capital of the
shah's qneer domain. There it joins
the Indian government line which runs
from the Persian capital to Bushire on
the Persian gulf. Thence the wires run
through Baluchistan, and complete the
route by connecting at Karachi, in
northern India. The operation of this
immense stretch of line, passing through
countries of such varying climates and
general characteristics, is obviously one
of much difficulty. On the snow
swept steppes of Russia the wires are
sometimes snapped like thread by the
rapid flight of flocks of wild geese. The
poles are cut down and made into fire
wood by the nomad tribes of the Cau
casian districts, and the cunning inn
keepers of Georgia seek to boom their
post horse trade by deliberately creating
faults in the wires. In certain parts of
the mountainous regions of Asia the
maintenance of the solitary line involves
no little personal risk and hardship to
the staff hands. Communication ia
often cut off by avalanches in the moun
tain districts, and the work of repairing
after a snowfall of five or six feet is
no light matter.
These monntain stations are provi
sioned with several months' supplies be
fore the winter sets in, as the staff will
be in touch with the rest of the world
by the wire only until the spring
weather opens out the passes. In these
supplies are always included a liberal
allowance of books and games where

THE SOUTHERN SUMMER.
It Is Claimed Tha While Loag It Is Not
Oppresalro.
' Wrong impressions are hard to eradi
cate from the human mind. ' In the
north and west it ia a popular delusion
that southern summers are extremely
hot and oppressive, and that life here
during the summer months is almost
unbearable. This impression is formed
upon no knowledge of the matter, but
simply upon the assumption that, as
we are nearer the equator, it must
necessarily be much warmer than in
more northern latitudes. An investiga
tion of the records of the government
weather bureau will show that there is
no ground for such an assumption.
Our summers are long, but they are
not unpleasant The heat in the north
and west is much mote oppressive dur
ing June, July and August than in the
south. Deaths from sunstroke are much
more numerous there, and the heat is
decidedly more sultry. Our long even
ings are delightful, and a sultry night
is seldom experienced. Our laborers
work in the fields all day long, and
suffer less from the warmth than those
of the north.
In a nutshell, our summers compare
favorably with those of any section of
the country, and our long, pleasant,
warm season is a decided advantage.
Our farmers can commence to work the
land long before their northern and
western brothers think of beginning,
and can continue to utilize it months
after they have stopped. In the towns
and cities the resident are exempted
from heavy expenditures for warm win
ter clothing, and for the larger portion
of the year the only fuel burned is for
oooking purposes.
In comparison with the north and
west, it is doubtful if our long, pleas
ant summer is not as far superior to
their short, blistering one as our short,
mild winters are to their long, frigid
ones. Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser.

FATALITY OF A NAME
A 8TRANGE INCIDENT WHICH SUG
GESTS MENTAL TELEPATHY.
It Ie Tenoned For by a Member of Chica
go's Health Department A "Pipe atory"
Which Ha Broken Down the Bale and
Made It Way Into Print.
Writers of fiction have no monopoly
ef the strange or supernatural. There
are things taking place every day in
Chicago which are as devoid of rational
explanation as the mysterious coining
of the novelist's brain. Newspaper
men hear of them, bnt in the rush for
cold, hard facta, demanded both by city
editors and newspaper readers, the "pipe
stories," as qneer and unexplninable
happenings are called in journalistic cir
cles, are at a discount Were it unt for
thi the following incident, which can
be verified by the word of several repu
table men, would long ago have re
ceived the space and attention it merits
instead of being consigued to the waste
baskot as the "pipe dream" of an opium
devotee:
One cold wintry night not so long
ago Dr. L. T. Potter, now connected
with the Chicago health department,
and a number of his companions were
sitting in the office of the Oakland hotel,
Drexel and Oak wood boulevards,
when a stranger of diffident manner en
tered. His clothes and jewelry marked
him a person of means, but he seemed
downhearted and worried, and when
he asked permission of the clerk to sit
in the office awhile, Dr. Potter ana ms
companions at once si eed him up as a
man who had been out on a spree, was
without ready oash to pay for bed,
and took this means of getting refuge
from the winter's blasts. The stranger,
who was young and intelligent, grew
uncomfortable under the ill disguised
scrutiny of the crowd and finally said :
Gentlemen, I would like to explain
my presence here and why I sit up in
the office in preference to taking a bed.
In the first place, let me assure yon it
is not a matter of money, "drawing out
goodly siiied roll of bills. "For some
years my lather, who is a resident or
New York, has had trouble with his
family and has been a wanderer. He
was at one time worth considerable
money, but this has been lost, and
number of letters which I have of late
received from him show me he is de
spondent This afternoon I got a letter
from bim, dated in Detroit, saying he
would arrive in Chicago tonight, take
room at this hotel and end his life by
turning on the gits. He added that in
the event of the gus failing he had a
pistol with him, with which he would
send a bullet through his brain. Father
had no idea I would get this letter to
day, as I have been out of towu, and it
was only an unexpected cose of sickness
in my family which brought me back.
am sitting np here to intercept him
when be comes in and prevent the sui
cide which he contemplates. Fortunate
ly I have means enough for both and
can relieve his anxiety in this respect "
Dr. Potter and his friends were at
once interested. They congratulated the
stranger on his good luck in having re
ceived his father's letter in time and
tendered their services in any way in
which they might be desired. Two or
three times an effort was made to find
ont the man's name, bnt he parried the
questions on the ground that, as his fa
ther's plans would be frustrated, he did
not care to have his identity disclosed.
"Ton may, however, call nieMelchior,
as it is awkward to address a man with
out a name, and Melchior is as good a
anything, barring the right one." The
evening sped along, and about midnight
the stranger, being assured no more
trains would arrive before morning,
took his departure, saying he thought
his father must have been detained or
perhaps have happily changed his mind.
The occurrence was so much out of the
ordinary that Dr. Potter and his friends
sat up for an hour or more talking it
over. At 1 o'clock . they went to bed,
and few minutes later the night clerk
retired, leaving an assistant who had
not heard the story in charge of the
office. About 1.80 in came an old gen
tleman with a traveling bag in hand,.
who registered as "George C Mel
chior," and was assigned to a room.
In the morning the chambermaid re
ported a strong smell of gas on that
floor. The door of the newcomer's room
waa broken in, and he wa found dead,
with a pistol in his right hand and a
bullet wound in his head. He had
turned on the gas and then (hot him
self, By this time everybody in the
bouse had beard the story and of the
young man's visit the night before, and
ail were positive that the old gentleman
who had killed himself .was his father.
The afternoon papers bad a report of
the suicide and before night the young
man waa back at the house asking to
see the body.
"I don't understand how father could
have registered as 'Melchior,' for it is
not his name, and I only used it last
night to conceal our own," the stranger
said. "It must have been a case of
mental telepathy. "
On reaching the room where the body
lay a much more peculiar episode oc
curred. The moment the young man
saw the face of the corpse he said ;
"That's not father. I never saw this
man before. He is not known to me."
Nor was he. A search of the dead
man's effects brought ont papers prov
ing his identity as George 0. Melchior
and giving reasons for suicide somewhat
similar to those advanced by the young
stranger when he was telling his story
the night before. Within a week Dr.
Potter heard from the young man, who
said his father was alive and well, hav
ing recovered from his despondency and
abandoned his intention of taking bis
life, but the mystery of how a man
giving the same name should appear at
the hotel selected by the stranger's
father, on the same night, and commit
suicide in the same manner outlined by
him ba never been explained. Chicago
