Recently it was found that the op eration of a siphon recorder of the submarine telegraph cable at Cape Town, South Africa, was interfered with by a trolley line. The shore end of the submarine cable for the length of a mile was at a mean dis tance of half a mile from the trolley line. As a remedy a second or dummy cable with an earthplate was laid as nearly as possible over the old one and this effectually put an end to the disturbances. Observations made in Ixnulon have shown that the earth's magnetic field is disturbed over the whole neighborhood of a certain electric railroad, and in the united states the utility ol our magnetic observatories has more than once boon threatened by the trolley.

Oliver Cromwell had taken passage for New England, it i9 a very little matter, but Mr. George might be interested to know that all modern historians agree that this story is entirely apocryphal. No ba sis for it has ever been adduced. Letter tovthe New York Evening Post Kinston, Oct. 24. Dr. Ira M.
