forth in a delicious vein of humor and
satire, and fairly bubbles with merri

can announce thj fact at once to the
civilized world. He can tell his frlendB

is in need of supplies ho can direct
how these shall be forwarded to him,

announce how long he can wait for
the supplies to reach him', and can di

"All that applies to the Arctic ex

explorer in the jungles of interior
Africa and Australia. Had' the wire

Wine Testing by Telephone
"Wine testing by telephone is the lat
est contrivance of a Paris inventor.
Unscrupulous ver.ders will not bless
M. Maneuvrier, assistant director of
the "laboratory of researches of the
Paris faculty of sciences. He has just
discovered an infallible method of as
certaining by the use of the telephone
how much a given quantity vi wine
has been watered. The principle on
which tho invention rests Is the varia
ble conductivity of different liquids,
notably of wine and water. The ap
paratus works as follows: Two ves
sels, one containing wine known to be
pure, the other the same quantity of
the wine to be tested, are placed on an
instrument outwardly resembling a
pair of scales. The telephone is in
contact with both liauids. If the sam
ple of wine under observation Is as
pure as the standard used for compari
son no sound is heard; if, on the con
trary, it contains water, tho telltale
telephone "speaks," and the greater
the proportion of water the louder the
instrument complains. A dial on which
a number of figures are marked is'con
nected with the telephone. To ascer
tain the proportion of water in the
wine tested, the operator moves a
hand on the dial until the telephone,
which has been "speaking" all this
time, lapses into silence. The hand
ha's thus been brought to a certain fig
ure on the dial. This number is then
looked up in a chart which the in
genious and painstaking inventor has
drawn up, and corresponding to it is
found Indicated the exact proportion
cf water contained in the quantity of
wine. New York Tribune. '
Greed for Ivory,
The governors of the various British
possessions in Africa have been di
rected "to prohibit by every means in
their power the indiscriminate slaugh
ter of elephants." The colonial secre
tary has further written to Simla ask
ing whether it ould be possible to
train African elephants with a view to
their being employed in work similar
to that performed by Indian elephants.
This action on the part of the colonial
secretary has been warmly welcomed,
as it is thought that, unless prompt
measures are taken the elephant will
be as scarce in Africa as the bison is
on the plains of America.

Arizona's Antique Jail,
Graham county jail, at Clifton, Arise.,
is probably the most unusual in Amor
ica. It comprises four largo apart
ments hewn in the side of a hllf of
solid quartz rock. The entrance to
the jail is through a box-liko vesti
bule, built of heavy masonry, and
equipped with three sets of gates of
steel bars. Here and there in tho
rocky walls holes have been blasted
for windows, and in these apertures a
series of massive bars of steel have
been firmly fitted in tho rock. Tho
floor of the rockbound jail Is of ce
ment, and the prisoners are confined
wholly in the -larger apartments. In
some places the wall of quartz about
tho jail Is fifteen feet thick. Some of
tho most desperate criminals on the
southwest border have been confined
in tho Clifton jail, and so solid and
heavy are tho barriers to escape that
no one there has ever attemptod to
make a break for freedom. The no
torious Black Jack was there for
