RECEIVING A CABLE MESSAGE.
Only the feeblest currents
should be used on submarine lines,
since heavy pulses which could be
employed with impunity on land
lines, if they did not soon destroy
the cable covering would, at least,
tend to develop faults which other
wise might long remain latent.
Defects in cable covering that
otherwise may not lend to harm,
admit moisture, and hence under
the action of a strong current,
oxides are quickly formed, de
stroying insulation. The neces
sary use, in ocean telegraphy, of
the lightest currents has lead to
the development af a class of re
cording instruments remarkable
for delicacy of action notably the
siphon recorder, which indicates
the electric impulses by a wavy
ink line on a tape, and the reflect
ing galvanometer, which causes
a spot of light from right to left in
a darkened room. With these re
corders and thirty sells of battel y,
messages sent across the Atlantic
are telegraphically reproduced in
ink at the rate of from twenty to
twenty five words a minute each
way, the cable being duplexed.
But for electrostatic induction a
single cell of battery would suffice
t'nr transmission from the earth to
the moon, if those bodies couli be
connected by a wire of the size
used in ocean cables.

"Laura," said the young lady's
mother not unkindly, "it seems to
me that you had the gas turned
rather low last evening."
"It was solely for economy,
mamma," answered the maiden.
"There is no use trying to beat
the gas company, my daughter.

of the gas is always followed by a
corresponding increase of pres

"Well, that lessens the waist,
doesn't it, mamma dear?" replied
the artless girl. And her iond
parent could find no more to
say.
A RELIEF FROM HUOGER.
NO DRESS REFORM FOR HER.
An indignant woman thus in
vit.es men who talk about dress
reform to mind their own business:
KNow, why should a man bother
about the health of petticoats? He
doesn't have to wear them. The

was to have them hung around his

"Ha did. Those marvels of lace
and silk were thought of, and it
was known that their appearance
would be entirely spoiled if they
were sluns from her shoulders by
a pair of braces. Take any v
' country where civilized dress is un
known, where the natural woman
ig found, and you will discover that
she carries her babv on her hips
and a pitcher of water on her head,
hut. that, she slincs nothing over
her shoulders. I think it is only
necessary for mankind to trouble
themselves about the way we wear
our petticoats when we raise an
objection tone adjustment of his
ttousers."
SHE WAS TIRED OF IT.
"Mr. Smithers," said his wife.
"If I remember rightly you have
of ten said that you disliked to see
a woman constantly getting her
self into print."
"I do," said Smithers positively
"You consider it unwomanly
and indelicate, I believe."
"Very."
"Andvou don't see how any
Tr.nn nnnld allow his wife to do
anything of the kind."
"Yes, I think so now."
"Well, Mr. Smithers, in view of
all' the facts in the case, I feel
liistififid in askins: for a new silk
rf a
dress."
"A new silk dress?"
"Yes; for the last eight years I
have had nothing better than
8-cent calico, and I want some
thing better. I'm tired of getting
into print."
Following are the
