Iriah EgyPtologist writes to as- sert that the phrase came frora Pharao- land: vie Dublin. In the works of Sir james Ware, 1505-10i the famous Hi- benaian historian and antiquarian Of Ireland, there is a passage, •which says: " Some writera think that Ireland weus crated Scotia, from Soota, the wife of Gaethelus, and daughter of a King Pharaoh, but of which name I know not ; arid, that the Irish language was - inVented trota the Same Gaethelus, from whom it was called Gaelic. Others say that another Scota, alao a daughter of a king of Egypt, married Milesius, and gave, the name of Scotia to Ireland," .Thus, says otir 'Tiber/deo-Egyptian correspondent, " hip, hurrah," can well be Egypto-Itish, only the trans- lation would have been happier, as "On on, to congetest," for eonquer means to take by force of arms, while plunder is to take by force of hands -grab, in the parlance of the day. - A CHTLIPS MANNERS.

' In their laystem their messagee to be trinishatted are •Grat perforated on a strip of paper, Whieh passes with great rapidity under two small brushes. One brush is connected to the positive pole of one set of batterleS, and the oth- er brush to the negative'pale of a•sec- ond mt. The two other poles are then connected together through the return circuits. The paper slip is moved along by means of a cylinder, which is con- nected to •the circuit and mikes con- tact with the brushes above it, •when- ever there is a hole in the paper strip. • MORSE SIGNS RETAINED. In this way positive or negative cur- rents will be sent over the line, ac- cording to .which one of the brushes comes in contact with the cylinder. The paper strip has two rows of Per.- , e . tive eureent impoises, the other for the negative ones. The one eroduces a,t the. -recerVing gtetion a line 'igining hansvard torrespondang to the dash in the Morse code, while the other impulse proauces downward strokes, corresponding to the dots in the Morse code. If, therefore, the Morse. code be adoptedaaany tele- grapher can read the new signs with- out any effort. The re.ceiving apparatus is very sim- ple. It consists of a telephorte, to which a matt concave mirror is attach- ed. The diaphragm 15 vibrated by the impelses of the current, moving • to- ward or away from the elect/Pat:hamlet, according to the direction of the im- pulse sent over the line, The move- ments of the diaphragm are trans- mitted to the mirror by means of a small rod. As diaphragm movements aneounting to a few thousandths of a millimeter are dealt with the Weirror is attached in such a way that it re- csiVes comparatively large movements. The mirror has attached to it a small piece of soft iron, ,by means of which it is held in.position by a permanent magnet in auth a manner that its one pole, °tiding In two points, holds elan mirror by means of the Heft iron plate. the line joining the points forming the turning axis for the mcwement of the nattier. The other pole of the magnet has a weak spring attached to it which aloo ends in a point and fotms the third point of Mil/pert for the Minster. This spring is attached to the dia- Phragra by means of a small rod, so that the small movements of the dia. phragm produce a rotary' movement of the concave mirror, which are com- paratively large, because the points of support. are very close together. The light from a small iocandetiment• lamp falls1 on the mirror -which, in turn, re- flects the image of the filament on a sensitized piece of paper. THE bIESSAGE PHOTOGRAPHED, This image moves out of its original position in one or the other direction, r moording to the movement of the dal- f g I ated by the current impulses. The t sensitized paper is woUpd on a druni, which turna on its own axis, and aleo t moves along that axis, so that the pa- per passes before the image in a sort b of screw motion and reeelves t he UP- a ward and downward impressions, In this manner the successive Signe on b the paper will appear next lb each other and can be eaeile read by any icla4tehmix!ing a knowledge of the Morse The inventors had still two great dif- Reunite; to overcome -that is the me - mentum or awing of the diaphragm and the toxicity and aelf.induetonee of the ine.
