Tho theory is fast gaining ground, amonx physicians in the east and south, that diphtheria is as contagious a dis ease as the measles or small-pox, and that persons so attacked, and the bod ies of those who have died of it should be treated with the utmost precaution towards preventing the dis semination of the deadly germs. The precautions which are recommended have special reference to the safety of children. Numbers of cases are re ported where infants, taken into a room where death has occurred from diphtheria, have died of the same dis ease immediately after such exposure. Paciiic Coast News.

Planting ToleEraph. Poles. Til?lUe (Pa.) Herald. A new and improved mode of plant ing telegraph poles has recently been aisco ercu ana tried with success m this city. The ground beeing staked oft at a distance about 200 feet apart, a man starts off with a pocketful of four-ounce cartridges, containing the wonderful new explosive known as "electric powder," and, with a crow bar in his hand, a hole is punched from four to five feet with the bar in a few minutes, and a cartridge dropped to the bottom with a fuse and lighted with a match. The operator then walks to the next stake, before reaching which a low, dull thud is heard behind, a hole about the diam eter of a ilour barrel has been blown in the ground to the depth of four or five feet, and the work is followed up by a gang of men who plant the poles in the holes thus made, fill in with gravel and earih, and the job is com llete. It matters not what soil is perforated with the bar, wet or dry, loam, clay, gravel, slate or bowlders (provided the bar can be inserted) the effect is the same. A gang of four men, with polos delivered on the ground one man to blast and three to erect the pole3 and tamp them, will put up from 100 to 150 poles a day. The cost, therefore, of this new and improved process is about two-thirds less than the ordinary method of planting tele graph poles, as now practiced. j"A newspaper is a "window tnroujh which men look out upon the worm. ithout a newspaper a man is shut up in a small room, and knows lit tle or nothing of what is happening out side of himself.
