EXTBATAOANI SAVINGS BANKS.
When Bank Superintendent Ltamb, of New
York, sent a oircular to aU the savings bank
ofSoers in the State calling upon them for in
formation ooDoerning certain unauthorized
expenditores of money, quite a stir was orea
ted. Superintendent Xstmb had become con
vinced that some of the savings banks, with
out apparent thought about the depositors or
their interests, had made free nse of money,
to bs charged to "profit and loss account," in
bestowing rich wedding gifts upon employes,
giving sumptuous dinners to trustees and
friends of the bank, for basts of offioers, and
for portraits of lines of presidents. Money
had also been leaking out of the banks for
"funeral expenses," "legal expenses," contri
butions to military organizations, charitable
gifts to sufferers in Memphis and elsewhere.
Mr. Lamb wanted to know how much of this
had been done. The bank offioers naturally
felt insulted that they should be asked such
questions, but as Mr. Lamb was justified by
the law in pushing his inquiries he did not
shrink from the task he had set himself. The
bank offioers finally concluded to answer the
questions asked, and their answers show the
need of Mr. Lamb's action.
We select a specimen case or two as an il
lustration. In one bank the first offloer had
enjoyed permanent leave of absence for three
years, his salary being reduced to $3,000 a
year during that time. At his death the
Board of Trustees paid his widow $2,000 for
"past services," and the amount was charged
to profit and loss account. In the same bank
the secretary retired and became actuary at a
reduced salary. A gentleman who had been
the bank's attorney was elected Beoretary,
with a salary of $5,000. In 1875 his salary
was increased to $8,000 because the treasurer
was absent, and some of that officer's work
fell npon the secretary. In 1876 his salary
was made $7,000, and when, in 1877, he
died, the trustees paid $3,000 to
his widow "in recognition of his ser
vices as counsel and secretary," and the
amount was charged to profit and loss ae.
count. The same account was swelled in
February, 1878, by the addition of $500 paid
to a teller, who retired in consequence of ill
health. From 1866 to 1876 the profit and loss
account had been charged with gifts to clerks,
about $100 to eaoh for every year, and in one
year two gifts of this kind were made to all
the clerks of the bank. The books of this
generous bank show' that a gift of $700 was
made to clerks in December, 1877 ; one of
$800 in July, 1878 ; another of $800 in De
cember, 1878, and one of $400 in January,
1879. From 1876 these gifts of the bank's
money were charged as "incidental expenses."
In February, 1867, the bank's secretary had
been presented with $1,000 ; in October of
the same year another gift of $1,500 was
made to him, on the same day that another
employe received a gift of $1,000. The
gifts to offioers and employes in this savings
institution in January, 1870, amounted to
$3,900. Another bank disposed of about
$7,000 in the course of ten years in a similar
way, another of more than $45,000 in four
teen years, another of $10,000 in ten years,
and so on.
Superintendent Lamb deserves the thanks
of the depositors in New York savings banks
for his exposure of the extravagant and law
less nse of their money. It is stated that in
the last eighteen years not less than a quarter
of a million dollars have been needlessly
spent by these banks. There will not be
much more ot such work, for a time at least.

Mr. George Maspero, Professor of Egyp

In four townships of Logan county, 111.,
bonds were voted long ago in aid of a railroad.
The road was built. Then the towns refused
to pay. The courts said they must pay.
The citizens replied that they would
not. The obligation, with interest, amounts
to $335,000. The courts have directed the
entry of taxes to meet this debt on the county
records, and the collectors are demanding
them independently of the taxes voted. The
taxpayers have held a publio meeting and de
clared that they "are opposed to the payment
of said railway bonds and will resist their pay.

pilots prove insufficient 'to make the system
self-supporting, a very small tax laid npon
vessels not employing pilots would easily make

steamship companies could make no objection,
and the necessities of oommerce and the just

thus be equitably adjusted."
Henry Ward Beecher continued his advo
cacy of a third term and General Grant at a
Linooln Club meeting in New York Thursday
evening. He said General Grant had been
criticised, but coming into office when he did,
with the country in a state of exoitement and
speculation, when corruption, engendered by
the anomalous times, had spread over the
land, his only wonder was that he had done as
well as he did. After eight years of experi
mental agitationhe came out without a spot
upon his personal integrity, and from the
time of his inauguration down to the close of
his administration the affairs of this country
were steadily getting back into a sound and
natural condition again. "If I oould have my
own way, continued he, I would vote for
Gen. Grant to come back, partly because I
should wish to bear testimony against that
heresy of 'No third term,' which has taken
such a strong hold of some of the people. I
refuse to allow any party or any political or
ganization to take away from me my right to
call again to office a man who, while' in office.
has ably fulfilled his functions, who is the
choioe of a majority of his countrymen, and
say that he shall not try again. I protest
against going into an election handicapped. I
should select Gen. Grant, beoauBe I think ro
tation in office is the curse of our affairs.
What we want is more stability and continui
ty. It is a point of weakness that our Presi
dent is eleoted every four years. It is an un
necessary exoitement and disturbance of our
community, and yet to have an army officer
eleoted for life would be going to the other
extreme. The best thing is to re-eleot from
term to term the man who is fonnd to be com
petent and able to discharge efficiently the
functions of his office. So that I hold that a man
should not only be eligible for a third term, but
even for a fourth term or a fifth term. I don't
see why if a judge is eleoted for seven years,
and re-elected repeatedly if he is an efficient
judge, a President should not be re-elected in
the same manner likewise. I should elect
Gen. Grant if I had the casting of the whole
vote of the country. I should elect him be
cause I think he is, perhaps, the most remark
able man our age has ever produced in any
country. He is a man who is very little- un
derstood." Mr. Beecher's remarks were
heartily applauded.

Cremation has not met with muoh favor yet

the municipal authorities have recommended
this method of disposing of the dead. The
Zurich municipality has granted a site in the
oemetery for a crematorium. At Gotha there
have been fifteen oases of cremation. 'At the

HALL SON, -
The New York Times sees a possible way
out of the difficulties attending the pilot sys
tem of New York, concerning which so muoh
complaint is justly made. It asks, Why can
not the government, which recognizes it as
duty to keep the harbor in good condition,
assume the duty of supplying vessels with
pilots ? "Two small steamers, carrying
twenty-five or thirty pilots each, could supply
every vessel with pilot when his services are
needed. If we make the acceptance of pilot
optional with captains, and substitute steam
for sails, fifty pilots oould probably do all the
necessary work which one hundred and eighty
pilots now do. There would thus be saved
the cost of keeping in commission the twen
ty-nine pilot boats, whioh now cost $250,000
annually, and the large number of pilots who
are able to make s living only while piloting
is compulsory. Vessels whioh need pilots
oould obtain them, and vessels whioh did .not
need them would not be compelled to employ

.Kleptomania.
From the New York Times.
About eieht years ago an alarm reached the
chief of police in London that jewels of great
value had been stolen from a lady of high
rank while a guest at a quiet northern country
house. A Handsome reward was onered, ana
not long afterward it became known that
the property had been recovered. Astound
ing as it may seem, it is nevertheless true
that the temporary appropriator of these fine
things was a millionnaire peer, who, albeit in
nowise penurious, its singularly simple in his
personal habits, and does not spend one
fourth of his income. The matter was all
hushed up, and very few persons outside the
family knew who the thief, if we oan so oall
him, really was. This was a general case of
kleptomania, and proves beyond doubt that it
really exists. - An English earl of
high distinction had this weakness from boy
hood, and it involved his leaving Eton.
When, in after years, he entered the Cabinet,
it was rumored that Lord had entirely
conquered the propensity, "except that at a
Cabinet council he never oould resist 'Dizzy's'
new green kid gloves." The alarming disap
pearance of wax candles at the Traveler's
olub. London, some years ago, caused muoh
dismay. The mystery was at length solved
by member of the committee seeing the old
Duke of U., (with a clear $750,000 a year;
ambling along a corridor with a candle stick
ing ont of his coat-tail pocket. His family
ware communicated with, and his sraoe
ceased to come to the club. Possibly, a simi
lar tendency may perhaps explain an unto
ward incident which occurred last season at
NawTjort. and has latelv been recalled by a
concatenation of curious circumstances. There
la doubtless a great deal of sham kleptomania.
but it is not the less true that sometimes it is
perfectly genuine. It is, however, very un
fortunate to bs at onoe kleptomaniac and im
pecunious. ' .

A Wonderful Discovery. (T)
From the Bethlehem (Fa.) Times.
A special meeting of the Monocacy Scien
tific Club was held on Saturday evening to
listen to a paper by Dr. H. E. Licks of Old
South Bethlehem on the diaphote, an instru
ment invented by him after nearly three
years of study, and now so nearly . perfect er"
that he feels warranted in bringing some few
of the results thus far attained to the notice of
tbe publio. There were present, besides
many scientists of Eastern Pennsylvania,
Prof. M. E. Kannich of the 'Polytechnic
school at Pittsburg, and CoL A. D. A. Blatio
of the Brazilian corps of engineers, who is
now in this country making extensive pur
chases of iron and steel. The meetinc su
oalled to order by the president, Prof. L. M.
Niseate, who in introducing Dr. Licks made a
few remarks, saying that he had an opportu
nity to witness a few experiments with the
diaphote, and he felt convinced that the fun
damental prinoiple therein involved was one
that would ultimately oanse it to rank with
the teephone. the phonograph, and the sub
divided electric light, as one of the remarkable
triumphs of science in the nineteenth centu
ry.
Dr. Licks prefaoed his paper bv savin it that
the idea of the invention was first suggested
to his mind about three years aeo bv readino-
aooounts of some of the early experiments
with Bell's telephone, and that a little later,
when Edison brought out the carbon instru
ment, his studies had beoome so far advanced
as to assure him of its theoretical practicabil
ity, liy the telephone the sound of the -.hu-:
man voice may be transmitted hundreds or""
thousands of miles away, and, with the micro
phone attachment, even the fainteBt whispers
distinctly heard. Why then cannot light be
transmitted in some similar way, so that by
the use of a connecting wire one may dis
tinctly nee the image of an objeot far remov
ed ? This, said Dr. Lioks, is the form in
whioh the inquiry first suggested itself three
years ago, and he felt gratified to be able to
exhibit to the club this evening an instrument
called the diaphote, in whioh the practical
realization of the idea had been in a great .
measure satisfactorily attained. The word
diaphote, from the Greek, did signifying
through, and photos, signifying light, "bad
been selected as its name, implying that the
light traveled through or along a wire. Although
popularly this might be imagined to be the
case, it was really no more bo than with
sound in the telephone. There the sound
waves strike a diaphragm that is set into vi
brations, whioh generate induced eleatricitv
along the wire, and cause corresponding vi
brations in another distant diaphragm, and
the latter hence reproduces similar sounds. In
the diaphote, likewise, the waves of light
from an object strike a peculiarly constructed
mirror joined by several wires with another
mirror or speculum ; the image of an object in
the first mortifies electrioourrentsin the wires,
and these currents passing quietly onward to
the receiving instruments produce there a sec
ondary image. The intermediate wire, as in
the telephone, may be hundreds of miles long,
yet such is the delicacy and power of the dia
photio plates that the transmitted image of a
single object is almost as distinct as the orig
inal, and Dr. Licks feels confident that after
the removal of a few obstacles, of a mechani
cal nature merely, the most complex forms
will be reproduced with the strictest fidelity
in shade and color.
The diaphote consists of four essential parts,
the receiving mirror, the transmitting wires,
a oommon galvanio battery, and the repro
ducing speculum. Dr. Licks gave a detailed
account of the many experiments undertaken
to determine the proper composition and ar
rangement of the minor and speculum. For
the former he had finally selected an amal
gam of selenium and chromium. The pecul
iar sensitiveness of iodide of silver and chro
mium to light has long been known, and their
practical use in photography suggested their
application in the diaphote. It was found,
however, after many experiments, that their
action must be so modified tbat each ray of
light should influence the eleotrio current pro
portionally to its position in the solar spect
rum, and selenium was ascertained to be best
adapted to this purpose. At first a small mir
ror was employed with only a single wire, but
the images reproduced in the speculum were
indistinot and confused, so that it became
neofssary to make tbe mirror of a number of
small pieoes each about one-third of a square
inoh in area, and having a small wire attached.
Iu the aiaphote extiioilSd by Dr. Licks to the
olub tbe mirror was six inohes by four, and
had C2 fire wires, whioh were gathered togeth
er into one about a foot back of the frame,
the whole then being finely wrapped with an
insulating covering, and on reaohing the re
ceiving speculum each little wire was con
nested to a division similarly placed as in the
mirror. From a common galvanic battery
wires also ran to eaoh diaphotio plate, and
thus a circuit formed which could be olosedor
not at pleasure. The theoretical action of tbe in
strument appears now to be the following: The
waves of light from an object are conducted
through an ordinary oamera, so that they fall
on certain of the divisions of the mirror
when tbe electric oirouit is closed. The light
and accompanying heat produoe momentary
chemical changes in the amalgam of the mir
ror, which modify the eleotrio current and
cause similar -changes in the corresponding
partitions of the remote speculum, thus re
producing a Bimilar image, which by a seoond
oamera may be readily seen by the eye or
thrown upon a soreen. Dr. Licks explained
how the pror-crtions of selenium in tbe mir
ror and speculum .ohculd be scientifically ad
justed to tbe size of tbe divisions and tbe re
sistance of the electrio circuit, bo as to avoid
any blending of tbe reproduoed image: This
he said bad been tbe problem whioh bad caus
ed him the most difficulty, and which at one
time had seemed almost insurmountable.
At the close of the paper an illustration
was given of the powers of the instrument.
The mirror cf the diaphote, in charge of a
committee of three, was taken to a room in
the lower part of the building, and the con
necting wires laid through the balls and stair
ways to the speoulum on the lecturer's plat
form. Before the mirror the committee held
in succession various objects, illuminating
eaoh by the light of a burning magnesium
wire, since tbe rays from gas are deficient in
aotinio power, and simultaneously on the
speculum appeared the secondary images,
which for exhibition to the audienoe were
thrown on a soreen considerably magnified.
An apple, a penknife and a trade dollar were
the first objects shown ; on the latter the out
lines of the goddess of liberty were recogniz
ed, and the date 1878 was plainly legible.
A watch was held five minutes before the
mirror, and the audience oould plainly par
oeivo the motion of the minute hand on the
soreen, but the movement of the seoond hand
was not satisfactorily seen, although Prof.
Kannich by looking into the camera thought
that it was there quite perceptible. An ink
bottle, a flower, and a part of a theatre hand
bill were also shown, and when the head of a
little kitten appeared on the screen the club
testified its satisfaction by the moBt hearty
applause. After the olose of the experiments
the scientists extended their congratulations
to Dr. Licks, and the president made a few re
marks on the probable scientific and industrial
applications of the diaphote in the future.
With the telephone and the diaphote it might
yet be possible for friends, separated by the
wide Atlantio, to near ana see eaca otner at.
the same time, to talk, as it - were, face to
face. In connection with the interlocking
switch system it might be used to enable sig
nal men or the oentral office to see hundreds
of miles of railroad traok at once, thus lessen
ing the liability to accident. In connection
with photolithography it might be so em
ployed that the great English dailies could be
printed in New York a few hours after their
appeal an oe in London.
We learn that Dr. Licks will lecture next
week on the diaphote before the American
Sooiety of Arts, and that he will make defi
nite arrangements ior tne manuiacture xor
the instrument as soon as the seven patents
for which he has applied are formally issued.
Tbe Celtic's "White Owl.
Picked Up JSIght Hnndred miles From
Land,
The White Star steamship Celtio, which
arrived from Liverpool on Wednesday last,
brought a strange passenger who had boarded
that vessel in mid-ooean. A large white owl
dropped on one of the forward spars in an
exhausted condition one evening when the
vessel was about 800 miles off the coast of
Newfoundland. When brought to the deck
by a sailor tbe owl was found to be nearly
dead from oold and hunger, and almost too
weak to eat. It had beoome greatly emaci
ated, and trembled violently in endeavoring
to swallow the first morsel of meat whioh was
placed in its beak. The owl slowly recovered,
and is now perfectly well. It is a land bird,
and is supposed to have been blown off the
coast of Newfoundland by the westerly galea
whioh had for some days previous prevailed
there. Finding itself onoe out at sea it had
probably ceased making efforts to reach
the land, and had drifted before the gal' , its
only efforts being to keep above water. The
bird must have possessed remarkable powers
of endurance, the offioers say, to have kept up
so long. The Celtic's owl, whioh is now
quite tame, measures nearly five feet from
wing to wing, and is white with, the exoeptioa
of a few small specks of dark oolor. It will
probably live for some time to corns on board
the vessel which it seleoted as its home while
in mid-ooean. Land birds have rarely been
seen so far on, at
