London, September 16.—In view of the
agitation in the United States congress of
the subject of postal telegraphy, and the
probability that, action will be taken upon
it at the approaching session, there can be
nothing ol greater interest to Americans
just at this moment than the telegraphy
system of the British government, in con
nection with its mail service, inasmuch as
the service to be given in the United States
is to be patterned after that in this coun
try.
Among the officers of the general gov
ernment with whom 1 have talked on this
subject was Mr. J. C. Lambe, whose rank
equals that of second assistant postmaster-
general in America. Me said: ‘‘If the gov
ernment of the United States undertakes
to fhrnish a telegraph system—and I think
it should—it ought to have the monopoly
of it, and give the people the benefit of the
monopoly; otherwise the rival companies
will let the government do the work
where it does not pay, without opposition,
and by cutting rates in the densely popu
lated sections secure all the patronage
there, and, therefore, the cream of the ser-
vloe.
We have only one drawback with us,
and that is our Indebtedness; we owe for
•venr dollar of the original plant. With
no Interest to pay the government of
America should be able to furnieh the
People with a telegraph service at rates
lew than we do, and have a clear profit at
the end of every flioal year. 1 will tell
yon something about tne'rates of tariff
charged for telegrams under our system,
and you can compare them with the
eharges in your country, and see if we do
not already undercut your private compa
nies a very great deal. The charge for
the transmission ofa telegram from and to
any point in our United Kingdom, In
cluding the channel islands, etc., etc., is
sixpence for the first twelve words, and a
hair-penny for each subsequent word. In
S ur money it would be 12 cents tor the
it twelve words and a oent for each sub
sequent word. We charge for the address
ana signature to a telegram, and 1 believe
it is the only departure we have taken
tom your Bystem in adopting the tele
graph as u means of communication. Or
dinary postage stamps are placed on the
telegrams for payment of telegraph service,
and they are cancelled at the postoffice
where filed the same as if they were mailed
at the rates I have named.
NKWHPAPBR TARIFFS.
“The newspapers probably get as muoli
benefit as any other clnss by the govern
ment telegraph system. The rates for
newspapers—and 1 mean by newspapers
all publications registered as newspapers
at the postofilee ami entitled to reduced
postage-—and also clubs, news associations,
pay 1 shilling (26 cents) for each 100 words
dispatched alter 6 p. m., for the first ad
dress, ami 2 pence (4 cents) for each 100
words to every additional address receiv
ing the same report. For day messages
the rate is the same, excepting t hat the
basis is 76 words for 1 shilling. You see
at this rate where a message is addressed
to more than one newspaper the cost is
but 4 cents for each 100 words or fraction
thereof after the initial 100 is paid. The
cheapest rate given in America Is about 10
fonts for 180 words, where the distance is
short and the number of words sent is
treat. The average press rate in America
is, I beli.-vc, Hometiling like halt a edit a
word, m twice tlic amount we ebargaif
the ten-gram is sent to one paper.

“Do you see that speck on this slide?”
The reporter closely examined the glass
slide of the microscope. The eye. unaided
by the lens, could distinguish absolutely
nothing.
“Now look through this tube."
The reporter gazed through the long
tubes of the big binocular microscope. On
the slide there was plainly to be seen, in
stead of a single speck, a collection of
monsters, who were crawling around on
the glass uneasily, as if out of tbeir natural
element.
“Bee tbeir long legs, peculiar eyes and
ferocious appearance,” observed the ento
mologist in whoso up town office the re
search wus being made. “Those are
aphides or plant-lice. The aphis only
weighs 1-lOOtn of a grain. It’s life is short
and its habits are destructive in the ex
treme to all ki uds of plants, particularly
those which are reared in-doori.
“What is so remarkable about them?”
“I was coming to that. They ore among
the most fecund creatures in the world.
They breed with almost miraculous rapid
ity. ' I will illustrate. A heavy man will
weigh in the neighborhood of 2,000,000
grains, two billion times as muoh as an
aphis. Well, in ten broods, If nothing were
done to destroy them, how much do you
suppose the offspring of one of these
minute creatures would weigh?"
“I have no idea.”
"Of course we have no way of absolutely
determining that matter, but Judging from
the increase ot a single aphis in a given
length of time, and estimating wbat
would be accomplished in ten broods, we
estimate that they would weigh as much
as 800,000,000 men weighing 280 pounds
each—or one-third the human population
of the globe.”
“Lucky their inorease is checked.”
"1 should say it was. They would de
stroy in one year every particle of vegeta
ble matter in the world, and create a fam
ine equalled only in its destrnctiveneas to
the deluge itself;” ^
W. O. Tuggle, LaOrange, Ga., writing
about Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid, says:
“ It is a priceless jewel as a disinfectant
and deodorizer. My wife states foribe
benefit of young mothers that it is a val
uable adjunct to the nursery.” It is equal
ly so to parents travelling with children.
Not only is the Fluid invaluable as a deo
dorizer, but a few drops added to the wa
ter in bathing will remove all eruptions
from the skin, chafing, etc., and greatly
refresh and soothe.

ON RAILROADS. • ' /
“How do the railroads operate telegraph
lines since the government prohibits the
maintenance of individual wires ?” 1 asked.
“ The government,” replied Mr. Lambe,
“supplies all employes, even lor private
individuals, in the operation of telegraphic
lines Except in special instances, the
railroad companies do not owu the lines
they use. If a special wire is desired they
Blase application forltto the government.
It we find it is needed, and there is room
for it, I he railroad company puts up the
wire and we pay for it. There is such a
thing as a railroad company leasing a wire
from the government, and it is known ob
tub or additional railroad wire. We charge
£1 a mile a year for ii and furnish an op
erator; but the government has exclusive
rights for the construction and mainte
nance of ail telegraph lines, even over
private property.
FOR BROKERS.
“I presume your system would do away
with our special wires for stock brokers?’’
“An individual may control a line from
one ot bis bouses to another; a firm may
have a line of its own, built und construct
ed at its own expense, from one of its
houses to another; but one broker cannot
have a line of his own to auother broker
unless -be leases it from the government,
and then it is under the government's con
trol. Thu rate for leased lines is £7 (|36)
per mile per annum. We provide these
special wires wherever needed, and the
figure includes instruments, clerks, opera
tors, etc. The accounts for the telegraph
service are kept in with those for postage,
etc., and wherever practicable the post
master is the telegraph operator. Of
course in the larger places, where
one or two clerbB are required,
the postmaster, the clerical force
and the operator are distinctive
officers ot the office. The hours for the
telegraph offices are the same as those of
tha offices. Where messages are to be
sent after official hours, arrangements
must be made with the postmaster. We
4io not have telegraph offices at all the
post offices.
“On March 31 of last year, the number of
post offices iu the Uufted Kingdom was
16,806. Of these 4740 were telegraph offices,
and in addition there were 1515 railway
stations open for telegraph business.
When the patrons ofa post office in a com
munity bellevo they can support a tele
graph office they formulate a petition and
guarantee that the receipts from the tele
graph shall be sufficient to liquidate the
expenses. Then a telegraph office is open
ed. We pay our postmasters and opera
tors. where they are the same, in the
smaller places by a percentage of the in
come of the offices. The salaries are
graded the same as those of the post
masters or the fourth class in America; in
fact, our whole system of salaries is about
the same as in America, except more
liberal.”
