THE TELEPHONE A MYSTERY.
Any One Can Use It, Yet Nobody la
Able to Understand It.
The telephone business is not like
any other business on the face of
the earth. It is the most reniark
ablo combination of science and
mystery, of human and mechanical,
of wire and wits, of highly skilled
specialists and the general public.
Any little child can be the engi
neer of a telephone talk train. Any
little baby can send its cooings hun
dreds of miles along the wire to its
father at the other end. Ana yet,
at the mystery end of the telephone,
not even John J. Carry, master of
telephone science, can explain or
even comprehend some of the phe
nomena of a telephone exchange.
I once asked Alexander Graham
Bell if he really understood the
workings of a telephone receiver,
and he replied: "Why, of course not.
Nobody does." I also asked Mr.
Einile Berliner if he could explain
exactly what happened in a tele
phone transmitter, and he replied:
"No, I can't. It is as great a mys
tery today as it was thirty years
ago."
Think of the marvel of it ! Here
is an intricate network of wires and
disks and electric currents and elec
tric lights and keys and jacks and
bells and cords and cables. This
mechanism is so delicate that it is
actually operated by the slightest
sound. It is not sot in motion by
steMin or gasoline, but by breath.
The slight vibration of the vocal
cords is actually the power that puts
the vast telephone mechanism in
operation.
A telephone system is an immense
and widespread mechanism of voice
machinery. There is nothing else
like it. It stands by itself as a
marvelous thing which any one can
use and which nobody c;:n under
stand. Herbert N. Casson in Moun
tain States' Monitor.
The Bogus Beggar.
Several prominent literary men
of Taris conceived the idea of mak
ing investigations among the beg
gars on (he boulevards by disguis
ing themselves as members of the
begging fraternity and soliciting
alms. They succeeded beyond their
utmost expectations, both" in discov
ering fraud eases of counterfeit
cripples and blind men, and by the
liberal fees which they themselves
received. A good story is told of a
number of these bogus beggars call
ing upon the Due d'Auinale, with
appeals for relief, to each one of
whom the duke gave 5 francs.
At last, however, a genuine beggar
appeared, to whom the duke said:
"I have received about twenty men
dicants of letters today, and" I rec
ognized them all, in spite of their
nigs, but I don't know vou. You
must be a bogus literary man. Get
out!"
Boiling Criminals to Death.
Boiling criminals to death was
once a IclmI mode of execution in
England for eountert'eitinir and lat
er for committing murder by poi
soning. An act of parliament pass
ed in lo.11 provided that convicted
poisoners should be boiled to death,
though tin's form of punishment
was not applied to any other class
of murders. The law was in force
about fifteen years, and under it
three persons were boiled to death.
one a cook who put poison in food
intended lor ins parish pour and
another a maid who poisoned her
mistress. A Dublin paper of Feb.
28, 1709, said that "twelve coiners
(counterfeiters) were seized in the
act of coiniiiL' and. haviiiy heen
tried and found guilty, were four
hours afterward boiled in oil, three
of them women." Dallas News.
The Minister's Parting Shot.
The minister had just preached
his farewell sermon to the ennirre.
gation with whom he had had much
trouble.
"How beautiful." said a visitor to
one of the deacons, "and how ap
propriate lor a farewell sermon.
"Think so?" said the deacon
gruffly.
"Why, yes. What better text
could he find than 'In my Father's
house are many mansions.
I go to prepare a place for you.'
By the way, where is ho going?"
The deacon smiled sourly as he
answered, "He becomes chaplain of
the state penitentiary."
The Merit of Pauline.
Pauline, who had been attending
school for two weeks, was telling
her parents about the naughtiness
of her classmates.
"That's bad," said her mother,
"and did the teacher have to speak
to you too r
"No'm," said Pnuline; "she had
to speak to all the class but ino this
afternoon.
"Good," replied her mother.
"What did she say?"
"Why," answered Pauline, "she
said, 'Now, children, we will all wait
until Pauline it La order.' "
