Ait Invrntlim 1t)t Insures Certt Amount of Secrecy Along tha f.lna f i ItallrnHtt U'liere Ther Are Mur Nta llitns VSItli Opemtnrs at Rr1i, Tlie Oaltliiiorfl and Ohio Railroad oom Iny linn adopted an Ingenious contriv ance for uso in the telegraph depart ment, and workmen under the direction nf Superintendent Charles Seldon have put In a little plant In the basement of Camden station, where the men employed at headquarters can become familiar with its use. There are along the various lines ot the great Baltimore and Ohio system scores of offices where the agent is also the telegraph operator. His du ties as agent frequently oall him so far away from Ids Instrument that It It im possible under the present system to make him hear this call when it it da sired to communicate with him. The new device is so arronecd that In all offices where these circumstances ex ist a liell will lie placed, and the operator at terminal or division headquarters can call the operator wanted without In forming any other ofilco on the line, no matter how many offices there may be which hare these bells In them, As tel. eernph lines are operated at present, If, for example, the Ualtlmore office desires to call the Wheeling office, nearly 400 miles uway, the call passes through every Intermediate office, but under the now system the turning of a switch will cut oil all the offices except the one wanted une system will also be applied to those offices where the amount of busi ness done at night is not sufficient to Jus tify the employment of a night operator. and where the day operator resides in ine ocpot building, there being Instances when It Is desirable from various causes to communicate with the operator after tho close of the regular business hours. The invention is the .result of over SO years of exjierlmentlng, and the combi nation ot more thnn CO patents. The contrivance is the New York elec tric secret service system. The trans mitter at the central point lsoierated by an ordinary telegraph key. This trans, mittcr can send out any combination of dots, dashes and spaces. At each station there ate instruments en arranged that thoy will respond only to the particular combination for which they are ar ranged. When the oiierntur at the central sta tion desires to call up a station along tht line, he places the key where It will make the necessary combination that cuts out all other stations but the one be wants ret. i t.tt ...i t i x ms tttuMJB u ucti uy mo smiitiu no wants i o ring, and at the tamo time operates a magnet which causes an answering Big nal to sound In the central station. lit thus knows that his call was audible at the station he desires to communicate with. The bell at this station will con tinue to ring until the operator answers, and if no answer Is made the bell will rfng all day. The Bystetu may be likened In some re spects to the system of the combination lock. For lnatance, if to unlock a duor having a combination lock It be neces sary to turn three points in one direction, two points in the opposite direction and one point In the fust direction certain liglts must fall In certain positions. II these turns be made on another lock hav ing a different combination, they will hare no euect. In like manner, when a certain combi nation is made at the central station that corresponds with the combination of a certain station along the Hue, the obstruc tions full Hiid the electric current 1m closed between that stattorritnd the cen tral station, while the obstruction to the dosing of the circuit with all the other stations still remains. Tlie transmitter is composed of a rub ber tube aliont the size of an ordinary lead pencil, which serves as an axis for 20 or SO small metallic wheels which are fastened to It. A metal finger proiecte over each wheel. Each wheel is provided with teeth, but no two wheels have the same number of teeth. When it is de Bired to oall a certain station, the key is placed at the proper point, which causes the axis to turn nml the metal finger to fall upon the wheel which has the num ber of teeth corresponding with the num Iwr of dots in the combination of the st tion. As the wheel revolves its testb strike at given times the metal linger. This ranses the making of ths combination, and the-two stations are in communica tion. The station can be called and tic return signal received in 10 second This system can be used to great adran- tage in the railroad signal service.

The "sweet and pleasant flavor" of bread made out of old buhr Sour or ruder meals was due to no wltoleeome, nutri tious quality in the flours or utealt used.

ONE WAV OF BECOMING A VALUABLE NEWSPAPER WRITER. How a Counter liny Who Is Not Able to Oo to College May Train Ills Mind So as to He Able to Killer Journalism Acquire Inrurinatlmi mi Kvcry SulOect. Let me point out a way in which the lad on n farm or In 11 country village, who does not see his way clear to n college education, can get nnotlier kind of edit, cation that will serve him about as well, and In some things lietter, when he be gins to do newspaper work. Tiememlier that education has gener ally two purposes to train the mind and to store it wilh'knowledge. My plan for the country boy does both. Here It is: Think of yourself as standing on one siue or an imaginary line, and tie great world, with all Its men and women aud governments and institutions, 011 the other. Cross tho line and find out in what way and through what thinirs von come in contact with the world. Then study those ways and those thinirs nntll you know all about them or nntll you know aa mncli as you can find out about them. This is what a sociologist would call determining the relation of the Indi vidual to the aggregate or the relation of man to society. Let us exnlain the nroc- ess a little. You will lie pretty sure to discover that you have relations with the grnit" world through tho school, the church, the government, through trade or business aud socially through your friends and companions. Thnt is not all, but that will do very well to begin with. rtrst get all the information von can about the school system of your state. Ask the teacher all the questions you can think of. If 1-011 are a conntrv bov. there li probably a prudential commit teeman in your district. Ask him what heha9todo. Tln u get at the superin tending committeeman nnd nsk him questions. Find out where the inonev comes from to build schoolhonses and pay the teach er. If you live in a village large enough to have graded schools, find out how the Bystem is organized, from the lirimarv grade up to the high school. Let nothing escape yon that you can iibly learn. Then the churches lu your town study them. Yon may not find It easy to get at the differences of belief thnt separate the Methodists from the Baptists and the Congregationaliats from the Presbyteri ans, but your minister or any minister win prouauiy lenu yon books that will tell something about creeds aud faiths. 1 hen make yourself master of the Bystem of government or control lu the various churches. Inquire what churches have bishops, what ones elders, what ones deacons, and what the powers and duties of these church oflicers are. In Bhort, learn in how ninny ways, and go as far as yon can, why one church organization Is different from another. Next comes government. It is a bin subject take it np in detail. Your father la a county commissioner or a selectman or a town clerk. That is a capital oppor tunity. Get him to tell you all he knows about the duties of town and county offi. cers who lays out new roads and closes old ones, who sees to it tliat the paupers are housed aud fed, who determines how large a sum shall be raised by taxes in the town, how much each taxpayer's share shall be aud what shall be done with the money. If one of your father's neigbliors is a member of the legislature, persuade him to tell you buw bills aro introduced, re ferred to committees, reiorted. discussed. amended and passed or enacted as laws. lia will tell you that bills, after thev have been passed by the assembly or house 01 representatives, must be passed also by the senate und signed by tjie gov ernor, but that only opens up new fields for your investigation. If perchance another neighbor is to go as a delegate to the Republican or the Democratic convention to help nominate hla party's candidate for the presidency, get him to tell you all about the party machinery by which conventions aro as sembled and candidates named; about the town caucuses, the county or district convention, the state convention, the national convention and the delegates to It, their number and their duties; also about the electoral college and its work. This will lead yon Into inquiries and studies in respect to parties and politics and state and federal governments that will be In the highest degree interesting anu prontauie. So in regard to business. Ask the village storekeeper where he buys his cloths, his crockery, his molasses and his hardware, and where they wero got bv the man of whom he bought them, and so on until you have traced them to their origin. You will In this way learn some thing of wholesale trade and manufac turing, sometldng about notes, credits. insurance, transportation by rail and water ana quite likely something about the tariff. Opportunities for this kind of home study and training will multiply as you follow them up until the field of research broadens out surprisingly. Your mind will broaden wit It It, and in following out these pleasant paths of common knowledge you will acquire a fund of Information that will be constantly use ful to you In future years of newspaper worlcHenry R. Miller in Youth's Com panion. 1 Itemarkeble Uimnlmlty. Some one writes from London: "I happened to be present the other day at a small boy's birthday party. The host and his guests were alike, all shoots of the nobility. It was really a charming sight, the long table lavishly adorned and lined about with rosy faces, each backed by an accompanying liveried footman or white capped maid. The gen tle lady mother who presided glided about talking to one and another, and finally she called for silence. "When supper la finished, you can choose your amnsement, my loves," she said. "What would you like beat to dor As with one voice came the answer lu t, roar, "Fight." New York Timet. The Question of Food and Drink. Fancy being confronted with the ques tion, "What kind of food and drink do you prefer'" and only half of a rather narrow page in which to inscribe the an swer. How could one answer such a question in such a spacer for one's ideas as to food and drink vary so much with the hours of the day. Morning, tea or coffee very likely, with breakfast bacon or kidneys or fried sole or plain boiled eggs. But who wants boiled eggs and coffee at his luncheon! Then, again, dry champague is generally a favorite drink at dinner, but we do not usually care for it at luncheon, and late at night most men have a preference for whisky and soda and would not care in the least for Pommery or Koederer. Then a man may have a strong liking for oynters, and also for olives, and how is he to get In all his opinions on these various questions of taste as to food ami driukr Exchange, Aiiterlmii H urLlnciiien.
