How the Wonder is Worked.
Tba roador of tba Ledaer doabtleu
observed in the cablo dispatches no
tice that the cable laid in 18G5 "bad
failed," at twonty minutes past twelve
o'clock on the day before; and tbatan
electrician would leave London In the
evening to "locate the fault." They
of course understood that it was the
mission of the gentleman montioned
to go to the shore end of tbe cable on
the eoatt of Ireland, to ascertain at
wnat point ot tbe two tbonsand milot
of cablo buried under tbe sea the
cablo had been Injured or broken.
And we have no doubt some ol them
have wondered how it. was possible
for tbe eloctrician to know, or to loarn
xchtre the fault or the break could bo,
considering that some portions of the
wire were a tboutand miles distant
from his point of observation, and a
great deal of it buried deep from hu
man sight two miles beneath the sur
fnco of the soa. Yet every part of
that long distance, and every fathom
of that anyss of wator, are within the
reach of the electrician's instrumental
hands, and within tbe ken of his scien
tific eye. It is quite practicable for
him to "locate tbo fault or the break,
within a half milo of its actual position,
no matter w bore H bo.
Although these far-roAching powers
are among tbe great marvels of mod
ern science, tbe means and tho princi
ples through which they are exorcised
are among the simplest things when
icon and understood. A telegraphic
wiro will transmit an electro-magnetic
wave or "current," in proportion to
the square of its diameter. Tbe re
sistance to tbe transmission of tho
wave diminishes in proportion as tbe
squaro of tbe diameter is increased.
This is ono law lor the eloctrician.
Tho second is that the resistance to
tbe trsnsmiuion of the wave increases
in direct proportion to tbe length of
the wire or cablo over which it is sent.
These two laws furnish tbo bates fur
the olectrician's observations, calcula
tions and results. . lie knows, to start
with, tba preoise amount of rogiatanc
that a milo of the cablo will oppose to
the trunsniiieion of a given quantity
of electro motive force. He has deli
cato and wonderful rhetrumenle, made
by oxpert mechanics, that enable bim
to mean ure this with accuracy for half
a milo or for ten thousand miles.
Having this knowledge and these
measuring instrument, and having
control of the quantity of eloctrictity
he is putting on tho wiro, be is able
to calculate to nicety bow many
milot ol the oable it is transmitted
over, beforo it onoountors a greator
resistance than that which is doe to
tbe length and dimotor of the cable
itself. At or near the end of that
number of miles of cable, though il ho
a thousand miles from land, and two
milos under tbe surface of tbe son, the
"fault" or broak tbo electrician is in.
search of will be found.
Our readers should understand that
we aro not staling anr mcro hypo
thesis. This real wonder and seem
ing impoaibility has been accomplish
ed again and again. The principles
through which it is accomplished, aro
tbe discovery of one of thote quiet,
ttudious men, who plod about In thoir
laboratories and workshops, and who
aro lupposod by many peoplo to bo
wasting thoir liros about things of
little practical ute, but whoto works,
together with those of tbe skilled
mechanics, who co operate with thorn,
reai! wove tbe world along.
l'bii pariicuNr student ot tbe laws
of nature is Prof. Pbn', of Nureraburg,
Germany, one of sovoral men whose
labors, like tbose ot oerstbd anu uur
American Prof. Henry, have" msdo
tbe Magnetio Telegraph a possibility.
Tbo deli onto and wonderful instru
ments by which those pnnciplos are
sppuoa, ana wnicn onaoio me electri
cian to extend his reach a thousand
milot out to soa, and to the bottom of
tbe ocean abyss, have been at work
in one of tbe most modott work-shops
in this city for several years. They
aro tbe tools of a Philadelphia work
man, who now loads the world in tho
manufacture of one important adjunct
in telegraphy n nearly perfect "in

This mattor has been montioned at
tomo longlh, for the benefit of the
boys and girls in our public schools,
who will soe what grand and useful
results are accomplished by the appli
cation of the simplest principle! of
tcienoe, and that they may also un

The first Printed almannn nf whlnt.
we have any authentio evidence, ap
peared about tha middle of tbe l&tb
contury. In 1774, a series of tbese
works, printed in both Ihft fv Airman
and Latin languages, was introduced
by a celobratod German mathemati
cian, and for thirty yoars maintained
an uninterrupted popularity. Al
though thoir contontt woro mainly
speculations relating to tbe localities
and movements of the heavenly bod
ies, such was tbe estimation in which
tnoy were bold, tbat tbe exorbitant
pries of ten golden crowns each was
demandodand paid witbont hesitation.
In France, during tbo lGtb century,
tbe contents of the almanao were va
ried bV the introduction nf nnlllir.al
diatribes reflecting severely upon
prominent statesmen and officials ;
and this was soon supplemented by a
record of clerical dignitaries, and tbo
genealogies of eminent personages,
particularly oi mose conueoted with
tbe royal family.
In England nntil tha
astrological almanacs disseminated
uroaucasi mo eoeas ot fanaticism and
superstition, notwithstanding the fnnt
that thoir publication was, by royal
degroe, subject to tbe inspection and
approval of the highest prolutes in
the British realm. Tbe uneducated
and Irreligious taste of the ago de
manded tho irrational jargon and
senseless mummeries of tho c hnrlntnn
and mountebank. It is a noteworthy
anutignincantcircumsiance tbat, oven
at as late a period as the closo of the
18th centurr. almanaca in which all
reference to tbo influence of the moon
vpon the various members of the human
body wat excluded, provej entirely
untaloablo. But in 1828, a radical
change was orTucled in publio senti
mont, by tho "Society for the Diffu
sion of Useful Knowledge." Through
tho efforts of this association a more
enlightened tasto was introduced
among the people, and in a brief po-
nuu uio occupation oi tne astrologer,
which till then had yioldod a princely
revenue, ceased to be remunerative
Under the auspices of this society,
tbe publication of tho "British Alma
nac, a work replete with interest and
instruction, proved a most efficient
auxiliary in the reformation of nulilin
sonlimoot. Tbe press of England
earnestly endorsed their philanthropic
spirit, and belabored with satire and
invective tne mercenary publishers
who bad ao lonrr nanderad to th nnn.
ular auporstitions of the ago. Othor
almanacs of eouallv meritorious ohnr.

porous, were speedily projected, and
tbe liberal encouragement with which
tbev woro roceived attests tha mora

that this is a work of imagination
not a theory which can be Insisted up
on as though it represented n goo

While on this snbjeot, however, we
cannot refrain from quoting a very
striking passage from a letter by Capt,
Howes, of tho Southern Cross, bo
cause, although it rolulos In reality to
the phenomena of an aurora australis,
it presents a scene such as we might
conceive to accord with the concep
tion of an Antarotio region oovorod
with volcanoes, whose combined no
tion made the whole'continenlat times
as one vast furnsco. Apart from fan
cios such as tbose. tbe doscrintion is
full of interest.
"About half-past ouo," ht says, "on
tbe seeond of last September, the rare
phenomena of tho Aurora Australis
manifested itself in a most magnifi
cent manner. Out shin was off Cape
Horn, in a violent gafo, plunging fu
riously into a heavy sea, flooding ber

boavens were as bluck as doatb : not

not doscribo the awful grandeur of the
scone ; tho heavens gradually changod
from murky blackness till tbey became
liko lit id fire, refiooting a lurid, glow
ing brilliancy ovor everything. Tbo
ocean appeared like a sea of Vermil
lion, lashed into fury by the storm ;
tbe wives, dusbinir furiously over our
side, ever and anon rushed to leeward
in crimson torrents. Our whole ship
sails, spars and all seomed to par-
utae oi tne same ruddy bues. Tbey
were as if lighted up bp aomo terrible
conflagration. Taking all together,
tbe bowling, shrieking storm, tho no
ble ship plunging fearlessly beneath
tbo crimson crested waves, the furious
iqualli of hail, snow and sleot driving
over the vessel and falling to leeward
in ruddy showers, tho mysterious balls
of electrio fire resting on our mast

the awful sublimity of tho heavens,
through which corruseations of auro
ral light would often shoot in spirul
streaks with meloorio brilliancy, al-
logetner presented a scene ot gran
dour and sublimity surpassing the
wildest dreams of fancy."

Eminent Women as seen by "Oris."
Cinderella was tbe only child of
aoiing parents, out bor mother dying
when she was a little girl ber father
married a widow with two grown-up
daughters. Ilor stop motlior institut
ed several reforms in running the es
tablishment, chiof of which was dis
charging tbe hired girl without a re
commendation and putting Cinderella
at work in thekitohon. Rogretting
how poorly informed ber own daugh
ters were on the subject of general
housework, she resolved tbat Cindor
ells should enjoy tbe advantages of a
liberal education in that particular
Slop-mothers are proverbial fur this.
Tbey oegloot their own children rath
er than see a stop-daughter come op
ignorant of work. .
. But the proud Bisters, instead of
gruwmg envious woen tney round now
much more Cinderella was learning
about washing dishes, soouring pans,
omplying slops, etc, than they knew,
used to laugh and jeer at her. They
wouldn't allow ber in the parlor when
their beaux came to see them, but
compelled bor to sit in tbs kitchen in
tbe chimney corner.
One evoi.ing tbe two proud sisters
were in high gloe because tbey wore
invited to a grand ball at the Exposi
tion building, given by a hook-nnd-ladder
company, and taunted Cinder
ella, as she was hooking up thoir
dresses, because she wasn'tinvitcd, too.
One of tbem got off a cruet and atro
cious pun. She said Cinderella wat
better at booking dresses than she
would be at a book-ao-'laddcr ball.
Wben tbe hack came for tbe young
ladies and they rode gayly away, Cin
derella was left sad and weeping in
the cbimnoy corner, and this is wboro
tbe fairy comes in.
Tbe fairy was a very pleasant and
engaging young fairy indeed, ouo of
the bost that the boss fairy sent out.
Of wingt she bad a "pair," which was
good enough to drew to, and she had
ofton msdo bor mile inside of 2.17 3 4,
wben she couldn't make anything
else. She knew woll onough what
was the matter with Hannah it was
the ball. So she told Cinderella not
to liawl any more about it, lor she
should go. She touched the poor girl's
six-,cont calico with bor wand, and it
was immediately transformed into tbe
most magnificent tulle moiro antiquo,
with boinbazino puffings flu tod, and
an overskirt of gingor poplin. lam

with a pair of tho tiniest of glass slip
pers, worth at least twonty-flvo cents
a glass at any bar in tbo city. She
took a pumpkin and scooped it out
(tho bad previously scooped sorao
farmer out ol the pumpkin); she trans
formed it iuto a magnificent six-in-hand
drug; she manufactured horses
of lizards, footmen of mice, and a big
old rat sho made into a rattling coach
man. As Cinderella mounted and
rode away tho fairy admoniebod her
that she must leave precisely as tho
clock struck twelve; ioriCsho dancod
a moment longer, tho would find she
had danced her fiuo gown into rags,
and would bavo to come homo afoot-
and alone, across lots and a-crying.
Great was the sensation created
when Cinderella entered tho ball.
Tho band stopped, waiters paused as
thoy wero bringing in beer, and all
wore momentarily dumb with amaze
ment and admiration. Tho king's son
saw her and engaged her to dance
with him ovory set, or set with him
every dance, he didn't care which.
He couldn't bear to be out of her com
pany, Ho had rather be out of to
bucco, or "out" with the old man.
Hor proud aislors figured for sn intro
duction, and allowed she was "real
sweet." '
Finally tho prince invited ber to
join him in a glass of boor and a pret-
zol, and the moments How so rapidly
it wat twolvo o'clock before sho knew
It. As tho clock was striking ibo sud
denly reccllectod the fairy's admoni
tion and started away as fust as ths
could run, knocking over floor mana
gers snd policemen Wben she roachd
the door some lizards croaking away
were all tbat was left of her six-in-hand.
Sho saw hor footmon ten m por
ing off as mice once more, her coach
man was a big rat engaged in a doad
ly struggle with a terrior, wbilo hor
coach, which was some pumpkins
whon it came, was all pumpkins now.
Her magnificent dress was turned to
rags, and she bad to hoof it homo bare
footed. But why go on f Everybody knows
bow she lost off a slipper and the
princo found it; bow ho offered to
marry the young woman whom il fil
led, bow all tho women in the king
dom (particularly tho big footed ones,
who always imagine their feet are
tmall) tried to put their foot in it;
how il was at length found to. fit Cin
derella to a niooty, and how the good
fairy gave her aa outfit when she
married tbe prinoe.
. Little girls, who are inclined to
mnrmur and ropine because compelled
to perform kitchen work, should draw
onoouragomont from this, and liavo a
particularly nico pumpkin, and a
choice selection of lizards and mice on

Stealing General Bragg's Chickens.
David remembors tho buttlo of
Lookout Mountain distinctly. He
was not a man to care about being
above tho clouds, or to bo impressed
with the grandour of the scone of ao
lion. David's attontion on tbat day
wns turnod toward Missionary Ridge.
David's regimentebnrged up the ridgo,
and careered forward on tho lino tbat
took thom to a building oocupied by
General Bragg as headquarters. Tbe
boys wore in tbe fiercest of a fierce
fight, bot still they gave the house tbat
bad acquired a sort of fame a second
look. David investigated, and be
found a solitary chicken in a woll-pre
aorvod coop. Tbit hod evidently been
held for tbe gonoral's dinner, and was
now in dangor of being shot fifty times
a ralnuto. Dave watched tho dodging
chicken snd the chips flying from the
coop aa ballet after bullet struck It,
with the grestost interest, and leaving
his place for a moment be ran to the
coop, caught the chicken, and with
chicken tied at bis belt, was again In
line. All bad been done so quickly
that it was difficult for his compan
ions to realize tbat be bad missed a
shot. Another disappearance, and ho
was seen in General Bragg's kitchen,
and then coming forth with A sack of
meal. This ho tied to his belt, and
resumed his place in the line moving
against the robots on tbe second ridg.
After the bsttlo, he drossed and cooked
his chicken, and mado from tho meul
some most astonishing corn dodgers.
He remembers that as he was eating
he folt a little sorry for Bragg who, in
addition to bis defoat had lost 'his
chicken. And ho remembers that
the boys all looked very wishfully
wbile lie was eating, but they called
him a fool when be risked so much in
foing to tbe coop for tbe chick.
avid is tolerabley clear in bis descrip
tion of the fight on Missionary Ridge,
and it runs about this way: "NVewent
up the ridge sudden like. We didn't
think we wasgoin'up wben we started
and noilhor did tbe rebs. There wat
a mighty big fuss. We pushed ahoad
to Bragg's boadquartors, and thore we
stole bis chicken and some meal.
Then, whon we fit a good wbilo. we
cooked the chicken and eut it up and
made some corn dodgers sod eat tbem
up. This wss the biggest fight I was
ever in."

barrels of his gun up the chimney at
him. And then Turner felt more dis
satisfied than at first. The neighbors
thought from tho excitement that tbe
ohimnoy must be on fire, and in ten
minntes the fire department was out,
and sixteen half-Inch streams wore
pouring down the flue on Turner.
Then he wanted to got oot worso than

It was a dignified effort, and reflected
personally upon no one, but it was an
anti-war speech. Mr. Speaker Colfax
thought proper to descend from bis
chair and offer a resolution for tbe ex

ported by Mr. Garfield in an elabor

tbe requisite two-thirds vote. Ten
years have passed and now Colfax
and Garfield are in the same condi

ordinary wooden rod. In a room two
floors beneath bis lecture room there
was a piano upon wbich an artist was
E laying, but the audience could not
ear it. A rod of deal, with ita lower
end resting upon the sounding-board
of tbe piano, extonded upward through.
tbe two floors, its upporend being ex
posed before the locture table. But.
still no sound was beard. A violin
was tben placed upon tbo ond of .tbe
rod, wbich was thrown Into resonance,
by the ascending thrills, and instantly
the musio of the piano was given out
in the lecture room. A guitar and a
barp were substituted for the violin,,
and with the same result. Tbe vibra
