"Tclrirrnpli operators have queer ex
periences," said a veteran in the employ
of the Western Union company. "Many
strange things and a good deal of private
information come to their knowledge."
"They proGt by information sent be
tween brokers and dealers, do thoy
not?"
"Very seldom. You see, inch mcs
!2cs are usually in cipher, and the ope
rator is ignorant of their meaning. 1
remember a young man who was at Oil
City during Ihe Pennsylvania oil excite
ment. Uy studying the ciphers
of certain .heavy speculators he
was at Inst ablo to translate them.
Ho gave the information to a
friend, who used it to their joint profit.
He -was Gnally detected and discharged,
but not until he had made quite a for-
tune, which was afterward increased
until he became very wealthy. This
man is still alive, and has served more
than one term in the Pennsylvania lepjis
latuie. I know of another caso some
what different. I was one of the first
operators on the Morso instrument sent
to Philadelphia when the telegraph
reached there. The instrument marked
the characters on a slip of paper. Of
course the instrument ticked, but this
was long before there was any thought
of taking by car. Among the visitors
were brokers and members of the ex
change, and they were much interested
in what had alreadj become very valua
ble to them. One of them, "Bull"
Bridges, spent so much time in the ollice
that we gave him a great deal
of information and explained the
workings of the instruments.
About this time we began to re
ceive complaints that the contents of
messages sent from New York to Phila
delphia, were known to outside persons.
In the oflico we begnn to look upon each
other with suspicion, and I finally de
termined to do some detective work.
kept watch of our visitors and finally
discovered that complaints only reached
us while our friend "Bull" was in the
office. I therefore determined to have
all visitors excluded t.nd an order was
posted to that effect. Our trouble
ceased at once, and my suspicions wore
confirmed.
"I knew Bridges had not seen any
messages, and I wondered how ho could
have known their contents. When I
accused him he burst out laughing and
admitted Ihe whole thing. He had tho
'tick' of the recorder down so fine that
ne could take a message by ear and ho
was the first man that ever did it. Not
long afterward the sounder was intro
iuced, and since then almost all tele
graphing in this country has been taken
uy car."
"Was there nny system of rapid com
munication before the invention of the
slectric telegraph?"
"Yes, indeed, quite a number. The
lystem most generally used was the iu
rention of the Chappo brothers, two
French boys, who first utilized it in 1794
it school, where they saw each other at
ft distance. They used a pivoted beam,
which, being placed in different posi
tions, indicated different characters.
Afterward the French government
adopted this system, and onu of the in
ventors was mado telegraphic engineer
ind placed in change. Lines were es
tablished all along the coast from Paris
to the frontier."
"How were these signals seen?"
"By the use of powerful glasses. The
itations were only about ten miles apart.
nd with good telescopes the signals
sould readily be distinguished, and the
receiving station would then commuci
sate with the next station."
"Could this be done rapidly?"
"Yes. 1 remember a line, that was
worked from the top of the old Custom
House here to Sandy Hook. The oper
ators used blocks of wood with large
letters on them, and could telegraph at
the rate of about one hundred letters in
Sve minutes between stations ten miles
ipart.
"Beacons were first used. Long be
fore the Christian era. lioruan generals
were able to communicate with each
other by means of flames in different
positions, and of various numbers. Some
at the Indian mounds in the West are
lupposed to have been constructed for
jignal purposes, fire and smoke being
jsed. The fiery cross of the Highland
chief quickly summoned the faithful to
war. In later times drums, trumpets,
tnd flags were used for signal purposes
particularly by armies. Most barbarous
people have methods of telegraphing.
Among the negroes in the Cameroons
country, on the west const of Africa,they
communicate by means of sound, for
great distances. The instrument they
use is a sort of drum, and the words are
represented by various beats upon it. I
will Jell you an incident connected with
telegraphing by sound.
"Afier leume toJScw orkl uvea in a
quiet street, which is now a noisy thor
oughfare. I spent most of my time when
away from the ollice in ray room. One
evening, while sitting at my window. 1
happened to look across to the nppo-itc
house, where I saw a pretty girl at one
of the windows. bho was leaning
agaiust the casement tapping on tho glass
with a pencil. After this I saw her at
ihe same place many times. We had got
is far as a nodding acquaintance, but. I
aad no opportunity of speaking to her,
Due afternoon, having come home some
what early, I was at my window thinking
f my pretty friend opposite. I almost
unconsciously tapped a salute to her on
ihe window pane with my pencil, using
the telegraphic eigus. I wus very much
mrprisea whon r reply camo from her in
:he same way. After that we had long
talks across the btreet, and, as our inter
fst in each other deepened into a warmei
fueling, many a tender message was sent
oy the air line. You may not believe it,
but we were engaged to be married be
fore we had ever exchange a word oi
beforo either had heird the other speak
ft word. Afterward I was introduced
properly, and married theyoun? ladvthe

The Turkish fashion of wearing jew
eled buttons is seen here on some im
ported evening costumes. They ore in
turquoise, garnet or some of the pretty
alpino quartz crystals. In Turkey, where
they are sometimes composed of more
costly jewels, they are a part of the
brid's dower, and are often Heirlooms ot
great antiquity.
Simplicity in bridal attire is more a
foreign than an American fashion, but it
must be allowed it is far more appro
priate. If one wishes to preserve any
sentiment with the bridal dress ono does
not care to use it as a ball dress after
ward. Heavy satins and brocades tempt
one to wear the dress instead of storing
it away as an heirloom.

Qnorr Jewelry.
A San Francisco paper says that a
modeler of statuary lias a set of cuff and
shirt studs made of ( hinese finger nails,
set in gold. He points with pride at his
exclusive possessions, which are made of
a I'hinRman's finger-nail, which was four
inches long whon cut. Tho nail in tho
studs presents a shiny appearance, and
is susceptiblo to changes in the weather.
Their owner claims that they were suc
cessfully used by him as a weather ba
rometer when he first got them, but their
usefulness in this direction bad been lost
through sge. Tho question of whether
Chinese finger-nails will come into gen
eral use as articles ot jewelry is one
which interests shell and precious stone
dealers. The Chinese judge their contlc
mcn as Americans do their idlers by
their long finger-nails. A reporter has
seen among the heirlooms of a heavy
weight merchant in Chinatown a nail
which attained the great length ,of thir
teen inches, and the Chinaman's grand
father was reported by tho merchant to
have raised ono eighteen inches long on
the index finger of his left hand. The
merchant at that: time said there was
nothing wonderful about that, as he
knew a Chinese priest who had a nail on
the little finger of his left hand which
was sixteen feet and some inches in
length, and the priest was then but sixty-eight
years of age.

He attended a caucus last night. He marls

'Has he been in politics long?"
"No, only last year. He worked hard for
