The Exeter Times, 1880-8-5, Page 6*THE ENGLISH ROYAL S rAND. ABD. A•••••••.,•••••• The English royal etatulard is barer "carried into nation, even thotitgli the sovereign in person commands the, ',army. hereldio tureattsexitt of the sixteenth .century aestribes that the 'royal standerd "'shall be set before the kynges pavillion or tents, aud not bo 'borue in battayle, and to be in length 'eleven yards." The royal standar is never hoisted 013 ships, except whe her Majesty is on board or a member 'of the royal family other than the Prince of Wales, When the latter it; on board his own standard is hoisted. It is the same an that of the 'Queen, 'except that it bears a label with three points, with the arms of Saxony on a escutcheon of pretense. Whereve The sovereign is residing •the royal etandard is hoisted, and ou royal anui• versaries or state accessions it is hoist- ed at certain fortresses or stations— home and foreign—specified in the Queen's regulations but nowhere else. nal of the instrument. Tho plan which as been found the most efficaciouri for the purpose of shutting out distracting townie of other kinds is to plane the disk ot the telephone above and behind the campositor,and then to arrange two tubes,each with two trumpet -shap- ed extremities, iu such a manner that these extremities are applied at one end to the two sides of the te.eplione dial( and the other end to the two ears of 1113 oompositor.The oompesi tor is also furnished with a 'speaking instrn- d merit., with a key for rinvinh a bell, and n with a bell which is rung from the ✓ House, a eimple code of hell signals consisting of one, two, or three strokes, sufficing far the ordinary requirements; of each message. The compoeitor an- nounces by a Dell that lie is ready, re. oeives a sentence, strikes the bell to dint° that he understands it, sets up the type with leis machine, atrikes the n. bell again for the reader to continue r his dictation, and so on until the work is carried on as far as time will allow. If there is any doubt or difficulty about the words, a bell signal will cause them to be repeated, or explanations oan be sought and received by direct vocal cominunioation. In this power,indeed, resides one of the chief advautages of tho method, and one which ought to lead to greater accuracy than has ever previously been attainable. The name of people, plasess,etc., oan be spelled out letter by letter if there is any doubt about them. NO CLIMATE AT ALL. • South America, it might almost be said, has uo climate at ail. Here iu this southern oontineut, the sameiwind Pram the south pole blows throughout ihe year, fresh and keeu all along the GOMIS ; so fresh and keen that on the sea, or close to it, the vertical eon or the tropics loses all its power even at noon, and the long equatorial night has the chill which renders it unsafe, as well as uncomfortable, to sleep in the open air, and unwise and ahnost impossible to dispense with heavy blankets. On the western coasts of South America the vapors that would be; wafted up to it from the Pacific are met with .the perennial breezes which, as I have said, come up from the pole, and they are driven upward till they reach thestnnmit ofthe mount- ain wall of the A.udes,where, ooudeused by the cold of that lofty region. they fall in Icoptous ram,. drenching and fertilizing the entire watershed.passing over the western slopes leaving it un- touched,. arid; barren,. and desolate. For the six.winter months in the year is the rainy reason, is here the season of clouds and fogs. We have the cou• stant threat of rain, with hardly a drop of it, and the sun, dirt breaks out in glimpses toward the noon, is seen but not felt. This Is -especially the case with Peru, the coast of which, project- ing westward in all its length from Arioa Pityte, is more iearraediately exposed to the polar wind and more unmercifully searched and blighted by its blast. That its climate, as a top. ioal one, may be all the better for it ir very possible ; and, indeed, there is no fault to be found with it on the snore of human health ; but it is dull andgloomy and doomed to perpetual drought..
