Ctark, Notary Public, ———————- ‘The erection of overhead wires In Washington § prohibited after September 15th, and Congress has indicated its purpose to bury “all electric Wires” at ite next session. Every new system of Overhead wires authorized by the Commissioners 4m the period allowed them in which to consider ‘and report the best general plan for such burial ‘adds retnforcements to the ranks of the opponents Of the abolition of overhead wires, and discredits in a measure the plans of taterment to be proposed by the Commissionera. For it 1s not to be expected nat these officials would make se of the brief period before September 15th, ‘ranted to enable existing Lines to maintain them- Selves in condition to do public service, for the Purpose of authorizing a new system of lines and 1ts expensive erection, if they really believed that ‘Congress, upon information furnished by them, ‘was about to put all these wires underground. Undoudtediy the construction of electric railway ‘Wires would be followed by a most vigorous resis.- ance to their subsequent burial, and perhaps the whoie plan of abolishing the overhead Wires might thereby be defeated. It Would be gratifying, as suggested, to exhibit to the convention of railway repre- Sentatives which meets In this city on the 1st of October an electric road, though the ratiroad men are doubtless scquainted wita the overhead system, as they represent, in part, the cities in which that sy8tem is said to have been tried and discarded. But a more creditabie and striking exhibit to the ‘World at large will be that of a city in which there 48 no swerving from the demand that the overhead ‘Wires must go, and Whose legislature adheres to ite wise decision upon this point for several months Succession, and does not permit its will to be Gefeated by indirection. If the local railroads will Substitute grooved rails for the present abomina- tous, run more and better cars, and experiment ‘With some improved motor which does not involve the ornamentation of the streets with gallows- ‘shaped poles and dangerous wires they will make the display to the convention which will be most Satisfactory to the city. ir ‘The latest developments in the Thingvalla- Geiser disaster will, if couflrmed by the formal in- quiry, make some of the officers of the til-tated, ‘Vessel wish that they had gone down with it to the ‘Dottom of the sea. According to Capt. Laub’s ac- count, wnich several of the survivors corroborate ‘the Weather was not thick, in spite of a slight Fain, but so clear that objects five or six hundred feet away were distinctly visible, There ts evi- dence, also, that the Gelser sighted the ‘Thingvalla’s lights two hours —_before ‘the collision, but for some reason failed to get Outof her way. AS a vessel of the size and style of an ocean screw steamer can turn at right angles to her course in the space of about three ship's lengths, there seems to have been no excuse for permitting the two craft to come together. ‘The fact is, however, that carelessness too often prevails on the deck of a passenger steamer during ‘the night. It 1s tiresome work for a subordinate officer, after a day of broken rest, to go upon the Bridge and keep on the alert for every sight and sound. Instances have come ta light repeatediy where the Lelmsman was the only person awake all the time. At intervals, ‘when it seemed necessary or desirable, he would make use of his means of Waking up the officer in ‘charge, aud at the successive signals of the bells ‘Uke stereotyped “Ali's well!” would be passed from mouth to mouth by men too sleepy to be conscious of what they were doing. The idea on whicn tuey ‘acted was that the path of the vessel was clearly marked; that other ships would Keep out of the ‘Way, and that, as there was no -tormy weather in prospect, everything would go oa as well with- out watching as with it Such a disaster ag the Geiser’s, if it shall be shownon inquiry that 3t could have been avoided by exercising those pre- cautions which the traveling pubiie hada right to ‘expect, will make ocean travel a good deal more safe for a time than it has commonly been hereto. fore, by stimulating the subalterns to greater care ‘and the officer in command to the enforcement of stricter discipline. nd ‘The secret of the success of the first systematic figb culturist in America, Seth Green, who has Just passed away at a ripeoid age, may be summed Up im two words—observation aud patience. He became interested in the occupation which after. ward made him famous, by watching the actions of a salmon that had made its home in a hole in- habited by brook trout, and was trying to hide its spawn from its voracious neighbors ‘This led him by degrees to the general study of the habits of salmon and other fish, and in a short time he became the standard authority on this sub- Ject all over the eastern and middle states. ‘But fish culture was only oue of his iuterests. He was gardener, too, and he brought bis happy methods into play im this line as well. In his potato pateh he built little perches, to which, in the spring, he attracted the sparrows by a sprink- ling of bread crumbs every morning. As the potato bugs began to appear, he would diminish ‘We bread rations gradually, till the birds got into ‘the habit of feasting entirely on bugs; and the havoc that Was wrought in his neighbors’ gardeys found no counterpart in bis. In his melon pate he had patus made of boards raised on little pleces of scantling, and so arranged underneath as Yo make a comfortable home for an army of toads, ‘whieh sallied forth at the proper hours every day and mate a meal of the noxious insects that would otherwise have infested the vines. He was a born experimenter, abd if he had not happened to have his thoughts bent in the direction of ash would probably hare studied some other little-under. Stood subject in the same painstaking way, and made h.mself master of it for the good of mankind. ———- Some outsiders are already beginning to be- moan thé state of tuings in Florida, wuere the general quarantine has reduced some towns to not a little listress for lack of butter, sugar, and other table luxuries, But what of that?
