A reporter was comfortably seated in tho smoking car of nn afternoon train oil the I high Valley road, when his atten tion was attracted by a peculiar souud proceeding from one corner of tho car. It was interrupted nt irregular short intertals. nnd hail the sound been metal lic it would undoubtedly have Isvn recog nized as tho "click" of u telegraph instru ment. Itut it was not metallic; it wn more like a tnosuito's "ping," empha sized and cut up into short fragments. lin looking around for the origin of this jH-culiar sound tho reporter noticed a young man occupying a back seat. Around his head passed a broad band which fastened a jicculiar black ntTair against his ear. A moment later tho re i ter wasseatiillM'sido him und learning ulsuit "telegraphing by Induction." Tho Os rntor held on his lap a board iilKiut three feet long and two and a half feet wide. At ono end of it was a pad of message blanks. Near tho center of the I loan I was the key, and on the right was the induction roil" with a steel cose. When the rcorter sat down, the opera tor was sending a message, nnd tho vi brations of the armature were what caused the sound that had first attracted attention. "Why does your instrument sound so different from other ones?" the rcsrtcr asked wheu tJe message was ended." "till, wo make it sound that way so that the olliee oierntor can distinguish it from tho regular line. W'o can, by changing tho sounder, make it any note that we please, but this is found very satisfactory." "Where is vour line? Under tho cars?" "Oh, no.

Why, just before our system was introduced on this road thero was an accident on the Pennsylvania road that cost tho company f.,0tJ0 und tho lives of two employes.

Of course, too, this svs- tem obviates the great loss of time en tailed umiu the freight and gravel uud construction trains by tho old svstetn. "Then the advantages to tlio passengers are very great.

Of course, on some of the fust trains, that do not muko anv stop nt all or hours, the imixirtance is increased, l'ussengers may send uics. sages from tho car to any oiiit reached by the Western Union, uud can similarly receive messages irom any such point.

Tlio second child had been nursed by tho mother, and was left handed. Tho third child, also nursed by bis mother, was nt in ago or 1 year, t-vidcntly left handed, never grasping any object with bis right band. Dr. Felts noticed that the mother carried tho child on her left arm, and. upon being questioned, aiid it had always lieen her custom to carry her children on tins Arm. iho doctor advised her to bold tho child cn her right arm. bhe did so; tho child soon began to uso bis right band in seizing objects, nnd is now, at the ago or 10 years, normal as regards the preferenco of tho right over tho left band. The doctor explained that when tho nurse carries tho child on the left arm, the left arm of tho infant is the ono which is free, and which conse quently be learns to use, to the neglect of tho right.
