From time to time during the last few years there have been various sys» tents advanced and given a practical trial for “ telegraphing ” portraits, diao grams, outline drawings and specimens of handwriting; 5nd an American elec- trical engineer claimsto have discovered a remarkably simple method by which pictures, etc., can be transmitted long distances through the medium of only a single wire. N. S. Amstutz is the re- puted inventor, and it is stated that cer- tain Continental authorities have taken up the matter for the purpose of tele- graphing pictures of military evolutions and portraits of fugitives from justice; while in Germany it is understood the Kaiser uses the system for transmitting his imperial signature to. the seat of government. whenever occasion calls for it. In theory the idea is excellent. “A crime is committed in Paris, and the assassin flees to America; a photograph of the culprit is found in France ; you throw a bright light upon it, place it in front of the transmitter, which you con- nect with the Atlantic cable, set up a receiver in New York, and in a few minutes the chief of the New York police is in possession of a photographic representation, which is far better than any description.” In other words, if the predictions of a certain learned French professor, who recently expressed his views on the possibilities of the project, prove correct, we must not be surprised if we are some day enabled to see what is passing in another part of the world without leaving our chairs. 0 Engine Drivers in England. ' Railway engine driving does not seem .to be an injurious occupation, judging from the fact that men interviewed by a contributor to The Strand Magazine had all been engaged for many years at the work, and seemed halo and hearty. One man was spoken of who had con- tinued driving until he was seventy-five years of age, and only a few years he- lore that felt somewhat aggrieved be- - cause he was taken off an express and put to driving a pilot engine. Previous to 1873 the men were exposed to the weather, but in that year the “cab,” which affords so excellent a shelter for them. was introduced. It was the in- vention of a man named Webb. Even the risk inseparable from the engine- drivcr’s occupations is commonly ex- aggerated. One of the men had never had the slightest accident. He had never, he said, even broken a “ bufier plank,” and the other had only compar- atively trifling mishaps to speak of. A royal train seems to attain the highest pitch of security consistent with moving about from place to place. When the Queen is about to travel, a special engine is‘got in readiness and thor- oughly overhauled, and the time table is so arranged that nothing is allowed to move on the line for half an hour before the royal train is due. A pilot engine, moreover, precedes it a quarter oi an hour in advance. There is a distinctive code for signalling this par- ticular train, and officials, provided with hand-lamps and fog-signals on the pilot engine. Engine-drivers are a hard-working body. and their occupation requires so strong a nerve that many men, other- wise competent, shrink from it. Ten hours a day is their nominal working time. and the maxitnum wages, that is, the wages of an express driver. are eight shillings a day. For a full day’s work on Sunday, however, a day and a half’s wages are paid. To attain to the position of an express driver takes time, sometimes fourteen years. The day’s work of certain drivers is reckoned by mileage. 150 miles being about equiva- lent to a day. Some benefit greatly by the system. Thus the actual running time to Crown and back is six hours and forty minutes, yet that counts as two days' work, and the double journey is performed by two men in turns on alternate days. Passengers by the railways are fond of tipping guards and porters. although they seldom gave a thought to the engine driver. The correspondent of Tim Strand .llugatzt'uc obtained from one of them a story illustrating this. It seems that a fellow employee, described as an, old stuger. saw a gentleman give hall a crown to the guard with a request that he would do his best. to make up for lost time, as he wanted to catch a particular train at a junction. When the junction was reached the train in qumtlnll was just steaming out. of the stall-Ill, whereupon the passenger, an- nuyed. went up to the driver and said, " I think. driver. you might have en- abled Inc to get my train." “ All, sir," replied the driver. “ you gteased the “past. at the wrong end of the train." -â€"- .ondon Daily News.

Dr. Mc'l‘avish of Edinburgh was something of a ventriloquist, and it bcfell that he wanted a lad to assist in the surgery, who must necessarily be of strong nerves. [‘le receiver! several ope plications, and when telling a lad what- the duties were. in order to test his nerves, he would say, while pointing to a grinning skeleton standing upright in a corner. “ Part of your work will be to lead the skeleton there, and while you are here you may as well haven try to do so.” . A. few lads would consent to a trial. and would receive a basin of hot gruel and a spoom While they were pouring out the hot mess into the skull, the doc- tor would throw his voice so as to make it appear to proceed from the jaws of the bony customer, and gurgle out “ Br- r-r-gr-h-uh l that’s hot l " This was too much, and, without, exception, the lads dropped the basin and bolted. The doctor began to do.» pair of ever getting a suitable helputate, until a small boy came and was given the gruel and spoon. After the first spoonful the skeleton appeared to say, “ Gr-ror-uh-r-br! that's hot l " ShOVeling in tire scalding grucl as fast as ever, the lad rapped the skull and impatiently retorted, “ Well, blow it, ' carn’t yer, yer ould bony ? ” The doctor sat down in his chair and fairly roared, but when he came to he engaged the lad on the spot. â€"â€"Tt't-lnta.

Producing his pocketbook he opened it and began to inspect the contents. “ What are you doing ?
