" 1 supposp," said tho reporter, "you
operators must havo somo funny ex
prrionees." "Yes there are some droll things
tvery once in a while, but wo get so
used to them tliat we don't mind any
thing about them. I suppose you
have he.ird that story about the
man who saw an operator working
an old Morso pttpcr instrument, and
calbd his girl up to see 'this fellow
make paper collars.'"
"How do you manage t:) keep your
ear on one instrument w hoa there are
twenty or thirty going in tho same
roomV
"There Is no difficulty in that," was
the reply. "It is as easy as it is for you
to keep the run of a friend's conversa
tion w hen there are other persons talk
ing in tha room."
" Hut no two voices are alike," hinted
the reporter, dubiously.
" So two instruments sound alike to
an operator, and there is no more diffi
culty in distinguishing the click of
your own instrument in a roomful
than in distinguishing the familiar
tones of a brother's voice."
" Can you tell who is sending at tho
other end?"
" We can easily detect a friendly
hand, although I don't know as I could
make you understand how."
"Do you har anything that goes
over the wires?''
" We could if we cared to, but that
gets to be a very old story. AVo only
listen for our call, wluVh is repeated
till we answer, and then the message
Is sent."
" I suppose you have some sad ex
periences when you receive messages
of death or sickness."
" Well, hardly. If we were affected
by such t hings "we would be in a per
petual state of grief. You don't no
tice them at all. "Why, once I received
a message addressed to me announcing
that I had become a father, but I had
become so used to such things I
mean to receiving such messages that
I never noticed to whom it was ad
drassed, and sent It down to the count
ing room with a bundle of other dis
patches I had received at the same
time,"
" Speaking of curious experiences,"
chimed in another operator who had
been listening to the convert-at:.on,
"speaking of curious experiences, I
remember when I was working nights
at a little station on the Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy road. About 1
o'clock one cold, sle-'ty morning the
circuit was broken off for a little
while, and then I heard the word
h-e-l-p come over the line several times.
This was repeated at intervals for
some minutes. I was decidedly fright
ened, but nothing could be done till
daylight After the break had been
located, men were sent along the line
to repair the wire, and ai soon as the
instrument began to work w e received
word that the break wa3 at the bridge,
and that Charles Adams, the day ope
rator, had been found there dead with
both his legs cut off. "We afterward
learned that Charlie had been to a
dance in a neighboring town, and had
fallen, unseen, lrom the freight train
as it crossed the bridge, and had been
run over. With his little remaining
strength he had crawled to the edge of
the bridge and broken the wire, lie
had telegraphed the word 'help' by
, touching the ends of the wire together."

Human Obesity.
"We recorded on Saturday the death
of the "fattest woman in the world,"
a member and special curiosity of
Nathan's Cleveland circus.in America,
who appears to have been smothered
in her bed. Miss Conley, though the
most enormous of her sex, weighing as
she did 4'J7 pounds, fell far short of
that prodigy of human bulk, the fa
mous Daniel Lambert,who died in ISO'J,
during Stamford fair, at the age of
forty. Lambert weighed no less than
fifty -two stone eleven pounds, ihat is
'73'J pounds, or close upon half as
much again as the American Jady.
Daniel Lambert's coffin with his body
coidd not be brought down the stairs
of the house in which he died, and the
wall at tho sides of the window had to
be broken away to provide an exit.
He was five feet eleven inches in
height, measured nine feet four inches
round 'the body and three feet uie

any beverage but water, and slept less
than eight hours per day. The

Two Remarkable Trees.
Two remarkable trees of Central
Africa have lie;n described by the
Spanish traveler, Abargues do Sosten.
One of these, the Acacia mimosa,
grows luxuriantly in the mountainous
regions, sending out its branches from
the ground, much in the same way as
the ribs of an umbrella wh"n extended
S read out from the handle. To com
pleters resemblance to an umbrella of
gigantic sio the scanty leaves at the
top are closely interwoven, and the
whole forms a natural protection from
the sun's rays of no mean importance
to the weary explorer a hs mks re t
in the beat of the day. Many animals,
no doubt, also avail theins' Ives of its
grateful bhelter. Its height is about
ten feet. The oth.-r treo is still more
curious. Its scientilic name is Uaobab
diina. This tree has a huge, smooth,
dark-brown trunk, hollow In the center.
Into this cavity it absorbs during the
rainy season a store of water sufficient
to last for many months. In short, it
seems to be a kind of cistern tree. The
br. inches are thick, short and bent in
wn !. Few leave are produced, and
ses- are soon dried up, and, falling
the branches look gaunt enough.
Cyclones of l it p.
Every half mile or so brings to the
sight of tho (loafing voyager on tho Au
Sable, writes a Michigan correspondent
of tho New loik livening 1 o nn
open space in tho forest many acres in
extent. There are thick, blackened
tree trunks on tho ground protruding
in all directions from their sliroud of
green underbrush. A more Impressive
spectacle are tho dead pino troes still
standing in these or. en areas, black
around the roots, but reaching, straight
as a dart, for a hundred feet in air.
These are tho gaunt skeletons of what
were once splendid lning pines, now
killed by tho forest fires which period!-
illv sweep through tho jmemgan
woodlands dining drought. Not far
below the mouth of the Au Sable, and
on the other s';do of tho Saginaw Hay,
is the region where the deadly fires of
two-years ago devastated tho wood
lands" so terribly, causing the loss of
hundred of lives and millions of dol
lars' worth of property. A well-informed
resident of iviichigan, who lives
but a few miles from tho scene of that
horror, has described it to me, not as a
burning forest in .tho ordinary sense,
but a cyclone of flame, marked in char
acters of firo by many of the phenom
ena of wild torna Iocs. In some way
the forces generate I a powerful vol
ume of air, tilled with gases in com
bustion, anl penetrated with almost
supernatural heat. It was a sort ol
earthly counterpart of those torna loes
of fiery gas which men or science teu
us sweep over the incandescent en-!
velope of the sun. "Wherever it touched'

half Would not even be sjorche.l. The;
whirlwind of heat, like a cyclone of
wind, sometimes bounded from the
earth only to des "end again and lick
up the houses and forests. It leaped
open fields and rivers in an instant,
converting tho surface waters into
steam, and finally stopped its career ot
destruction, not because of lack of
fuel, but because its strange, fiery
energy was in some occult way ex
hausted. As proving its peculiar cy
clonic quality, there is a well authen
ticated story of a farmer who hal left
his pantaloons in the middle of a ten
acre lot. In the pockets were five
trado dollars, and when he returned
after the swift passage of the flaming
whirhvinl ho found only a lump of
melted silver where had left the coins.

and then glancing anew at the open

ful nor exaggerated.
The Causes of Mushing.
The physiology of blushing has long
presented a difficult problem to solve.
Many unsatisfactory explanations have
been given of the causes of that in
teresting phenomenon. The British
Mtdka', Journal lately received an
inquiry as to the measures to be taken
for the cure of a chronic tendency to
blush, and one of its correspondents
takes up the matter in a very prac
tical way. Among other causes of
blushing he gives prominence " to the
wearing of too thick underclothing
and especially of too thick socks." He
a Ids that long-sleeved woolen sacks or
jerseys are often a cause of blushing,
and, in fact, warm clothing in general.
He does not fail to remark that the
blusher must choose in this matter be
tween the risk of rheumatism and the
annoyance of blushing. As collateral
evidence in support of his views he
says : "An aunt of mine had habitual
ly a red nose from this cause alone,
which disappeared whn she took to
thinner stockings. '
Regarding tho matter from a social
standpoint, tho writer says: "The
best plan for an habitual blusher is to
laugh and be very gushing, as, for in
stance, on meeting an acquaintance in
the street, when ho colors up ; and he
will feel more at his ease than if he
looks sheepish and reserved."
An obvious cause for blus'dng is
oversensitivenoss and self-consciousness,
which will we ir away as the
person becomes used t so. My aid
strengthens his character by adopting
wise principles of thought and action.
The physiological explanation of blush
ing given by the writer just quoted is
that it is duo to p u a'.ysis of tha sym
pathetic circles of nerves surrounding
the, arteries, which, not contracting
properly, allow a freer flow of blood
to the surface.

Another was passed under James I.
The fourth, which is now the Jaw of
England, was made by the parliament
of Charles II. This latter law has
been made tho model of Sunday laws

Out-Trotted by a Calf.
Colonel Charles Burns appeared on
th? race course at Evansville, lnd.,ona
day recently, leading a very thin calf.
It was a dusky brindle in color, hair
long and full of cockle burrs, while its
diagonal tail was weighted with tha
same prickly nuisances. It was an
ungainly creature and looked half
starved, but when the colonel said it
could trot the crowd .laughed. Fin
ally, after much banter, he wagered
$ 100 that his cloven-hoofed pet could
outstrip any horse n the grounds. Mr.
Jay Rowland promptly accepted and
produced his handsomo gel ling "Day
light," who has a record of 2:20. It
was agreed that the calf should go
under saddle, while the horse
trotted in harness. They were
led out on the track. Twenty
times the calf sleepily loped up for th
word, but at the neat trial they cams
under the wire neck and ne k, and
were sent off. Instantly the calf
seemed to lose four inches in height,
and pushed oil, with tail erect, like a
flash of light. At the quarter pole tha
horse forged two lengths ahead, but at
Ithe upper turn the calf settled into a
shambling sort of trot, bellowing at
every step, all the while gradually
decreasing the distance between itself
and the gelding. The nearer it ap
proached the horse the more nervous
the equine became, until when the calf
reached his sulky wheel the gelding
bolted. Before the gelding could be
controlled Burns' calf had a hundred
yards lead, and all ellorts of the horse
to overtake his split-hoofed competitor
were unavailing, the calf landing at the
wire, head and tail up, 200 yards ahead,
in 2:29.
