Since the Norman arch bishop of Dublin, Henry de Londres, completed the original cas tle (long since rebuilt) of which only a small part of the Birmingham tower remains in the present pile, it has been kept in a prov- v dilapidated and ill-appointed state. First used as a fortress, of which the Bir- mingham tower was the prison where rack and torture were applicd, and which was often crowned with rows of ghastly head: it was not until Elizabeth's time that the ca tle of Dublin was chosen as . residence for chief governors, and that an order was sent to enlarge and repair it for this purpose. Sir Heury Sidney in- 1365 first made some at- tempt to out this order, but_from S ford's letters we find that the buildings were still in a dilapidated state in 1631, Lord Clar- endon in 105 describes the castle as “‘the worst lodging a gentler ev yin" and it is not much bette at the present A judging from an account given to the present writer by a member of the family of a viceroy of our own times, who, while residing in - the castle, described him- sell as being often oblived to come out of the room, stand on_the nteel Dublin bowing in the Presence mber, or dancing in St. Patrick’s hall, arcely cares to know that our eity was orig- lly a Scandinavian kingdom, and that once” upon a time we were all 'Norscmen, 3 nember that when Olaf the Viking o up the Liffey in a flect of sixty ships, and landingon w convenient built a “'strong rath of stone, foun- dutions of Dublin eastle were lnid—while the Danes ravaged and plundered Ireland, were converted to christianity by the Irish, were allied and inter-married with them, Strove for the mastery in the country, and gained and lost it again and agan—the castle of Dublin was stronghold.

An In- pund The American Telegrapher vestigation Needed —Underg Wires ~A Farmers' Tei- egraph Lies q 4 The American Telogeaph. The London Electrician, contained recently a very interesting article from Mr. P, B. Delany, being a contribution tothe synchronous multiplex contro- versy. It is well worth reading for the light thrown on the amusing little tlt that Mr. Delany has with M. La Cour in regard to the ability of the American telegrapher. M. La Cour remarks: “The Americans whom we had engaged, and who were supposed to be such emi- nent men, are possessed of considerably less theoretical knowledge than an or- dinary telegraph operator i Scandi- nuvin,” to which Mr. Delany replies: “The American telegrapher needs no defense at my hands. He may not have as much theory us his Scandinav brother, but he knows a practical tele- gravh system when he sees it, and it is weli known that he can send more into and get more out of a telegraph wire than any other telegrapher in the world.” After all, what is required of a telegrapher is practice and not theory, though a thorough acquaint- ance with the latter is desirable. Are we to attribute to the European’s profi- ciency in theory the fact that he does so little to distinguish himself not simply in practice, but in something that dis- plays the highest quality d—in- ventiot The ranks of European tele- graphers contain, we know from per- sonal acquaintance, many accomplished men, but where are the European I sons, Delanys, Popes, Hamiltons, Gilli- lands, Dockwoods; or the Kuropean Morrisons, Metzgers, Johnsons, who not only invent but conduct great organiza- tions and enterprises? There must be something to account for these aud many other instances of advancement among telegraphers on this side of the Atlantic, and for what appears to be the great rareness of such instances on the other side. What is the repressive influence in the old world? It istoo much theory or too litile ambition? Is it too much governmental control or ton little individuali An Investigation Needed. A paper recently presented hy Mr. P. B. Delany, before the American Insti- tute of Electrical Engineers, says the Electrical Engincer, a suggestion is thrown out which oughtmnot to be passed by unheeded. The causes of- death by electricity, its nature and limitations as well as the probable means for its pre- vention, ave of sufficient” practical im- portance to warrant earnest investign- tion. We would suggest, therefore, the advisability of the appointment by the institute of a committee to investigate and report upon the subjects The in- vestigations which have thus far been undertaken in this direction have for the most part been isolated and limited in their scope, and there is thus left for the institute a clear field for work, the result of which will redound to its credit. We hope that this subject will meet with the attention it merits, and that light will be shed upon a still ob- scure subject. Underground Wires. Tn a paper recently read by Professor Plympton before the Amevican Inst tution of Electri Engineers, he has come to the conclusion that there i difficulty in putting telegraph and te phone wires underground and maintain- ing them there in _good condition for a lengthened period of t ime. Some de- tails of course still remain to be settled, but much has been gained in the know edge of what hasto be avoided. The question of putting incandescent light wires underground has also been solved, and the testof several years’servic has shown that the systém is an un- doubted success. Butin regard to the burial of the are light wires Professor Plympton has his doubts as to the c tainty of suce wy methods yet :ogrnized that dny and ill-advised enforcement of ww controlling the burial of these ‘would prove the surest way of petuating the nuisance of overhead wires and poles in the stre In other words, he has come to the con- clusion that if put underground by any methed thus far tried the result would be failure, and another resort would have to be mude to overhead wires which would then stand all the mor firmly against any attempt to enforce th burial. Professor Plympton also drew attention to the fact that such alleged aceid as o denth caused by the grasping of a naked wire close to an arc lump could not be prevented by any system of burying wir and that per- fectimmmunity couldonly be obtained by ng both the wires and the lamp, garding undergreund wires in Europe, probubly the best idea of the extent to which the practice prevails abroud was seen in the photographs which Professor Plympton drew utten- tion to during the meeting, embracing views taken in various cities visited by him durving his vecent trip of investiga- tion. In some e the network of wires was almost, if not fully, equal to the masses familiar to us here, and, as whe speaker remarked, it was only in exceptional ca that underground work was found, A Michigan Telegraph Line. There has grown up among the farm- county, inthis state, )ids (Mich.) Registe system which' is qui aracter, and \\L!l‘h might be profitably and geuerally ex- tended throughout the rural districts rywhere, The system began by two tormers connecting their house with a wire for their own private convenienc and operating their line with the ordi- nary Morse instruments. Gradually other farmers extended the line into their house, and after a time the wire run to the neighboring villinge of Pecumseh, Seven year o the com- bined farmers nd o fe mer- chunts organized the pany, and it has until now it has sixty-five miles of wire and ninety offic two-thirds of the latter being in furmhouses, and nearly 11l the rest in stores where these farm crs do their trading, One ort paper oftices, as many more r freight oflecs, the County Telephone xcha nd the lirger post- off e all connected.

Large thefts of copper, electric light and telephone wires have been discovered in Pittsburg, Pa., the pe tors being dis charged “linemen, who replied to all ques. tioners that they were taking down the wire for reinsulation. Electric rifles are the latest. Instead of the ordinary percussion firing device, a dry chloride of silver battery and a primary coil will, 80 it was lately stated before the Ame can institute, fire the rifle 35,000 times with- out recharging. Mr. Frank J. Sprague will reada paper be- fore the American institute of electrical en- gineers on June 12 on “The Solfition of the Municipal Rapid Transit Problem.” This paper, dealing with a great subject, will be one of the most important ever presented be fore the institute. It will be accompanied by numerous illustrations, dingrams, cte. A telephone transmitter by Mr. John M. Graham, of Pittsburg, Pa., says the Scien tific American, consists of two pairs of con- tact springs arranged to press opposite ends of electrodes, carried by springs bearing on the diaphragm, one contact spring of each pair being connected with one terminal of the induction coil, the electrodes operated by the diapnragm being connected with the ter- minals of the local battery, whereby the cur rent in the local circuit is' reversed during cach vibration of the diaphragm, P.

Electri- cians sy, however, that there is a question whether the current would not prefer to con- tinue in the man rather than leap out when it should meet those bracelets, which woyld offer somewhat _higher resistance than the human body. Of course, the inventor be lieves that the fluid would prefer the matter to the flesh. A well-known lawyer of St. Louis has in- vented a st motor to be_operated by compressed air or steam, on which he has just obtained ent.

The wock of a healthy human heart has heen shown to equill the feat of raising five tons, four hundred weight one foot per hour, or 125 tons in twenty-four hours. The excess of this work under aleohol 1n varying quantities is often very great. A" curious calculation has been made by Dr. Richardson, giving the work of the heart in mileage. Pre- suming that the blood wus thrown out of the heart at each pulsation in the proportion of sixty strokes per minute, and at the assumed force of nine feet, the mileage of the blood through the body might be taken at yards per minute, seven miles per 168 thiles per day, 61,320 mil or 5,150,880,000 miles in a lifctime of eighty-four years. The number of beats of thé heart'in the sume long life would reach the grand otal of 2,8649,776,000., —_—— 5 Life is burdensome, alike to the suf, ferer and all around him, while dyspe)- sinund its attending evils hold sway, Complaints of this nature ean be spe ily cured by taking Prickly Ash Bitters regularl "housands ~ once thus afllicted bear cheerful testimony as to its merits.
