Will not the School Boards of the

W e want in our schools teachers of

We cannot afford to trifle with so

PSBACBLVQ BY TELEP30XS.
LIITINIMO TO A PREACHER AT A Bit
TARCI OF THIRTY-NX MILES.
A number of gentleman-electriolans
and other met oo Sunday morning
at the offloe of Mr. K. O. Warburtoa,
Superintendent Engineer Lanosabler
and Yorkshire Kailway Company's
Telegraph Department, Manchester,
for tin purpose of witnessing an inter
esting experiment with the telephone.
Their object was, in fact, by means of
bis Instrument to form part of lb
auditory ol tha Kev. Dr. Mellor, who
was conducting his usual service at the
Square Congregational Church, Hali
fax.. One of the ordinary conducting
wires of tbe railway telegraph waa
used. It was fitted at tbo Manchester
end wilh fourof Boll's telepbonoa, while
at Halifax the wire waa extended to
Dr. Mellor' chapel, and connected wilh
one of Mr. Louis John Crosaloy's pat
ent telephone transmitters, which it a
modification of tbe microphone of Prof.
Hughes. Tho arrangements at Hall
fax bad breu carried out by Mr. Km
intttt (Mesans. Illakriy HnilberaA Km
motl). Tho distance botwovii Man
chester aud Halifax as the wire goea
ia about 3C miles. Precisely at 10:30
o'clock the service commenced with
the singing of a hymn, wbich was re
produced through the telephone almort
Eerfoctly, the sonorous voice of Dr.
tollor being beard above tbat oi tha
congregation. . Afterward there was)
prayer and tbe naaal lessons ; but we
pass at once to the sermon, which was
regarded aa the crucial test of the in
strument. The result was, on tbe
wbolOf Tcry encouraging, though it
was made evident thai much remains
to be done before tbis mode ot com
munication is perfected. The chief
drawback to' the success oi tbe experi
ment was the induction canted by tbs
transmission of messages along the
telegraph wires, the wire in connection
with the telephone iratherinir ia the
sound and drowning tbs voice of the
speaker. This difficulty, howovtr, will
be overcome. When tho wires were
at rest Dr. Mellor powerful tones
were beard quite distinctly, but the
articulation waa not so clear, and it
was rarely that wbole sentences could
be hoarJ.A dozen or twentyconsecutive
words might be caught, and the rest
were lost, owing, doubtless, to a way
which the preacher seemed to have of
lowering bis voice at the end of a sen
tence. In order not to expose it to
the gaze ot the congregation, the trans
mitter or microphone was placed in
side the pulpit, almost at the reverend
gentleman's feet, so tbat when he
leaned ovor the pulpit or tamed bis
head in a particular direction, hearing
was rendered difficult. Had the in
strument been placed before bim it is
unquestionably tbat but for the un
happy trick wbich tbe conducting wire
had of gathering in sounds from ths
other wires, every word would have
been distinctly heard. The experi
ment will be prosecuted further, and
it ia hoped, in course of time, lo intro

munication between the railway sig
nal boxes. It is obvious tbat it will
have for that purpose many advan

service, conversation was carried on
between parties at Halifax and in Man
chester, and the hearing waa perfect.
We may mention that the telephone is
an institution in Dr. Mellor's chapel,
it having for some time been in taceess-
ful operation between that place of
worship and tbe residence of an inva
lid lady, about three miles distant.

CONQUESTS. ANCIENT
MODEHN,
AND
It must be remembered that ths
modern conqueror is, in two respects,
worse oft tbtn bit xtoman predecessor.
The ancient conqueror could Impose a
tribute, which tbe comparative mild
ness of modern nation will tcat-eely
tolerate, and it was once worth while
to conquer poor and savage race for
the sake of obtaining slaves, which the
civilization of modern Europe no
longer endure. Thus it appears that -the
principal motive which spurred
men on to war in former times no lon
ger exists, snd that if it is the duty of
statesmen to act solely for the happi
ness of tbe people they govern, it is
equally thoir interest to avoid wars
from which the mildness of modern
manners prevents them lrom winning
even the miserable advantages that -war,
it successful, could once afford.
But ths case against war ia still
stronger when w consider that we
have already obtained, without shed
ding a drop ol blood, all and more tban
all that the most suocossiul war could
possibly give ss. We won Canada by
a senes ot Moody names, but A ot tra
ils we obtained without any battlo at
all. We sought in the imperial way
to make our colonies in North America
our tributaries, and they separated
from ns, alter indicting upon as de
feat and hnmiliation unknown te na
before. We supposed that ws had
lost a great and irreplaceable dominion,
but we found tbat lor all nselul pur
poses we bad lost nothing by the sep
aration ; for all pacific uses tbe United
States were still at our service. So
long as vacant lands in temperate lati
tudes exist on the earth we bavs at
our disposal, without shedding a drop
of blood, all tbat the most successful
war can rxive us. Just as we bave dis
covered that any amount of territory
may bo acquired without war, to we
have discovered and clearly proved
that wealth beyond tbe .dreams of
avarice may be acquired without plun
der. Tbe way to grow rich is not to
plundor and ruin olher people, but to
assist them in becoming rich tbem
salvos. The Bomam empire perished
because the subject were unable to
endure tbe weight of taxation. Eng
land floanshe because ber peaceful
industry can supply the demand of
her government, and yet leave enough
in the hand ol ter people to stand
against the competition of tbe world.
