Mr. William Ballard became interested In the Invention, end furnished House with the necessary means to perfect the Invention. When completed, which was not until several years afterward, It proved to be a perfect marvel of mechanical skill and Ingenuity, and was demonstrated to be capable, under favorable condltlona. of printing messages to plain Roman characters at the rate of more than fifty words per minute. Capitalists ultimately became Interested In the scheme, and between 1847 and 1855 an extensive range of telegraph ltnea wa erected, extending from New York along the seaboard to Boston and Washington, and west as far as Cleveland and Cincinnati, on which the House Instruments were employed with great commercial auccess, Many original details of the line construction were designed and carried out by Mr. House, and, viewed In the light of later knowledge, they stamp him as an electrician whose, practical attainments were vastly In advance of his time. He preferred to employ stranded wires of great conducting capacity, Insisting that a much higher speed of transmission by his system could be obtained In this way than by means of solid wires of equal resistance, a theory which was scouted by electricians for nearly half a century, but which Is now universally ail FOOLED THE BUSY BEE. r produced.

Ultimately I man aged, by pressing the question, to solicit something definite on the subject, the gist of which was that, when women kiss each other, they do so merely as a matter of form, meaning by It for the most part no more than a mere handshake, and often less, for there may be warmth existing tn a kiss be tween members of the same sex.
