THE JEWS AND WIRELESS.
This is a new Stock Exchange story, regarding an encounter between a Greek and a Jew, which deals with telegraphy. “Have you heard,” said the Greek,, “of the wonderful excavations at Athens?” “No,” replied the Jew. “What about them ?” “Oh,” replied Dimitricopolous, “at a distance of twenty yards they came across copper wire.” “Well,” said Levi, “what of it?” “Do you not see,” answered the Greek, “that this proves that the ancient Greeks knew all about telegraphy?” The Jew pondered. “That,” he remarked, “is not so wonderful as th^ 1 excavations at Jerusalem. There, at thirty yards, they found nothing.” “Well,” said the Greek, “what is thejre in that?” “Oh,” triumphed tlie Jew, “that lyapgL tJi at the ancient Jews knJ|jg§j telegraphy.”
