The Latest Invention.
Not content with inventing the plmnn.

other coutrirnnce which he calls the

or whatever other warning or it t‘orrpn-l
tion it chooses, there is H»! the least remon l
to doubt. The vibrating diaphragm I

ing cylinder, in the aerophune operatesi
as a valve to shut oil and Open the flow ,
of steam through a pipe leading from
the boiler to a peculiarly arranged horn
or whistle. By this contrivance the
steam, instead of producing a long, con
tinuous toot, is made to pronounce Words.
“It is quite simple," said Mr. Edison,
smiling upon the perplexed reporter,
“but if you don‘t understand it altogether,
just take my word for it that this thing
will utter Words which can be heard dis
tinctly four miles oil", and wait patiently
for a few weeks, wltenl will demonstrate
what I say to you."
With this, for the present, the reporter
had to content himself, Mr. Edison first
having called his attention tothe immense
value it would have on shipboard in time
of fog, or in lighthouses on stormy coasts,
from which, by its aid, the keepers could
hail all surrounding vessels, informing
them of their whereabouts, and of the
peculiar dangers of each particular coast.
“1 have been so busy in perfecting the
phonograph," said Mr. Edison, “that I
not ought of but little else forthnlast
two weeks. All the phonographs that
have as yet been exhibited are, you know,
veryimperfcct, or rather very meagre in
their results. They have been more ex
periments. I have, however, perfected
the instrument, and in a few days a talk
ing-machine that is a talking-machine
will be completed." So saying, he led
.tha way down stairs to a machine shop.
where eight busy machinists were indus
triousl y at work, and where a perfect not
work of leather bands, attached to all
manner of machines, was in animated
motion. Among the workmen, looking
over their shoal era and giving instruc
tions here and there, this little man, whose
brain had supplied the occasion for all
that was going on, moved quietly about,
while the re orter, lost in admiration,
followed behind. Eight men, and these
the most expert machinists—Swiss work-
Isen all of them—are employed at an ex
panse of several hundred dollars 'a week,
merely to make in iron and brass the
named inventions that are constantly
ta 5 form in his mind.
“Ah, here it. is,” said he, picking up a
circular piece otf brass, the surface of
which was reamed with a fine thread,
which, starting at the centre, ran around
the plate many thousand times before the
eirenmterence was gained. “This is to
take the place of the cylinder in the new
phonograph. It revolves, you see,in this
way (plat: in; it upon a pivot and twirling
it wound like a platter), and the pointer,
which is attached to the diaphragm, will
lollow the thread by means of a movable
arm. The plate will be turned by clock
work to insure a uniform rate of motion.
Instead of having to put the sheets of tin
i’oit directly on any inder, with the risk
of tearing in removing them, by the
means of this flat plat: we will be able
to have the tin-foil me a secure to a card
board frame, which, having holes at the
four corners, that will'lust fit over four
pfig, can be easily lifted from the ms
-0 e when used, and put away in a safe
place until wanted again."
The reporter asked how many words
could he put upon a sheet of tin-foil suf
ficiently arge to cover this piste, which
is about ten inches in diameter. Mr.
Edison replied that he was confident any
ordinary (SO-cant novel could easily be
regulated upon it. To perfect the culti
vation of the phonograph’s voice so
that it will be capable ‘of transmit
ting precisely the same tones of voice
that are spoken to it, .Mr. Edison is en
gaged in making an aii'sir to take the
place of the metallic funnel which is now
used to bring out the sound. He ro
poses to construct a tube which shag be
shaped like the interior of the human
mouth, and which shall be supplied with
teeth somewhat similar to those employed
in these: humane organ-stop.
“i have another idea," said he. “I pro~
pose, in sending the exhibit of several of
my inventions to the Paris Exposition, to
have a large phonograph running in the‘
machinery department. I will have a
piece of tin-foil electrotyped so that the
impressions upon it will not wear out by
constant use. A very simple contrivance
will shift the cylinder—l intend using
one 'ot‘ the cylinder phonographs for this
purpose—after it has passed under the
pointer, to the other side, and so a per
petual stream of talk can be kept up. I
havn’t decidedjuat what to make this
everlasting phonograph say, but have
thought that it Would he a good plan to

Husbands :Lml Wives.
nus. CHARLOTTE n. FIBIIEIL
I do not say the husband is always to
blame. The wife often makes home un
happy; too often both are in fault. Yet
I think the husband is more apt to be
come careless and neglectful of little at
tentions soon after marriage than the wife
is. A trusting, loving girl gives up her
freedom forever and goes out from under
the sheltering roof of the old home to
bless and brighten the new. Goes to be
his own in sickness or health, for “better
or worse,“ until one of the twain shall
rest from all earthly labors.
Before marriage he was all attention
as to his personal appearance; eager to
gratifyher every Wish. lie admired the
roschud she‘selected to wear on her bos
om, but thought his own chosen rose-bud
much lovelier. He admired the dress she
wore, the ribbon in her hair, truly she
could do nothing to lease him that failed
of its object. And iie told all his love
and admiration in actions, and what was
‘still ploasantcr, in words.
‘ Now they are wedded, both sure of the
other‘s love. The days are full of light
and joy, she knows a shadow can never
darken their home, for is she not his dar
ling; his own happy little wife and does
he not tell her so every day? She does
not believe any change comes after mar
riage unless it is greater and more per
fect love and trust. Years pass. Have
they carried the bloom-of life with them?
He has business to look after, but he loves
his wifejust the same. she will not be
lieve otherwise. Yet, sometimes when he
goes to his work, with only a hasty kiss
and- never once noticing the lily buds in
her hair, or that she has on his favorite
jewels, sometimes, I say, a feeling of dis
appointment clouds the joy in her hearh
‘ The full glory is dimmed. He continues}
to grow more neglectful. She wears the}
colors that used to please him ; she strives‘
ito beautify his home in every possible
. manner, but he speaks no word of praise.
He even finds fault with her once in a
while; but what pains her most is his
constant indifference, and he has. too, a
habit of putting her second instead of
first in nearly everything. Occasionally,
when he does happen to notice her he
wonders at the worn face and quiet man
ner; and, doubtless thereby, she has be
come very careless of home enjoyments
and love. Does he never remember the
many times a gentle woman has stood be
side him. lifting the hair from his brow
or panic? it with soft fingers, or caress
ingly lsy ng a white has on his hand?
He used to kiss that same hand; holding
it in both his own, and say many kindly
things. Now she lingers near him, but‘
he never lifts his eyes from his book to;
the face beside him, or finds one little;
word of endear-moat for his wife. _ _
Oh, if the wells of her room could

t at had so often been spoken to them:
“Oh! God. what have I done? What
have I failed to do, that life is not as it
once wee? Oh! how have I frighted
away all the tender words; all the caresses
that once were mine? Ob why did I not
dle when every word and action were
full of love? Better—fer better to have
gone away from earth ere the bridal roses

Gas From Water.
While the possibility of making illu
miuating gas from water has been under
discussion, some practical men have erect“
ed works, and for a year past have sup
[plied gas in this city made from Uroton
, water. Among the establishments in
which this gas is burned are the Stan
dard, Fifth Avenue, Wnliack‘s, Union
Square, and Park theatres, and Delmoni
co‘s,‘ Windsor, St. James, Fifth Avenue,
Buckingham, liletropolitan, St. Nicholas,
Parker, and Prescott hotels. The works
are at Forty-fourth, Forty-filth, and For
ty-sixth streets and the North river, and
Mr. Francklyn, the manager of the Ca
nard line of steamships, is the capitalist
who has supplied money for carrying on
the enterprise. It is Said that $600,000
is invested. The concern, called the Mn
nicipal Gaslight company, has been in
active operation for more than a year. A
Sun reporter on Saturday met one of the
,directors of the company, and asked him
;to describe the method of making the
lgas, and the prospects of the enterprise.
lie said that the company had carefully
avoided publicity, and did not desire pub
lic attention. They had a cheap mode of
making gas, which nobody else had yet
adopted, and which, therefore, gave them
an advantage. They were unable to sup
ply the demand, having now over 2,000
applications on the books to which they
could not respond. ,
“The foundation of the discovery that
water is convertible into burning gas,”
this gentleman said, “is the explosion of
the old idea that water is an original ele
ment. Water is acomposition of oxygen
and hydrogen, and by subjection to in
tense heat the water is resolved into its
original constituents, yielding one volume
of ox ygen gas and two volumes of hydro—
gen. The process isa complicated one,
but inexpensive, and the water gas does
not cost nearly so much as the gas made
from coal and kerosene. The first opera
tion in the manufacture of this gas is to
heat the water, and next to superheat it
to about one thousand degrees Fahren
heit. The water is then passed into gen
erators filled with anthracite coal, by
means of which it is decomposed into its
original elements. The oxygen here
unites with the carbon from the coal, and
the product is carbonic oxide and
hydrogen. At this stage acrude burn
ing gas is bad, containing sulphur
and carbonic acid. To remove these
the gas is passed through purifying
boxes, which are immense sieves contain
ing layers of lime. The sulphur is de-‘
.posited in the lime, and a carbonate is
made by the acid. These impurities re-l
‘moved, the gas next’ passes into curbs-1
jrettes—iron cylinders incased in water
jackets, on the glue fpot principle. These
cylinders are half all of naphtha. The,
’naphtha is vaporized by the heat, and‘the}
gas takes up this vapor and carries it into
the retorts. In the retort: the naphtha va-i
por is ,decomposed and combined with,
the water gas, and the latter is then
burning gas, but not ready for the mar
ket. It is next passed through con
densers and washers to remove any con-
Idensible vapors. The result is a clear
white barnin as, entirely free from odor
or smoke, and gar more brilliant than or
dinary coal gas. Its illuminating power
is 80 per cent. greater than that of coal
8“."
“How much gas do you. make every
day i" asked the reporter.
“About 500,000 feet.”
“Isn’t there about as much of other
kinds of gas in this mixture as of what
you 1k?” out of the Groton water?” ,
“ o; the gas comes from the watch;
. We treat it With naphtha vapor simply tot
'give it illuminating power. You go and?
.try this gas. You can place a sheet of;
white porcelain within three inches of the.
flame, and there will not be a particle
; of smoke in three months.” '
, “Are you selling it any cheaper than
T the other companies?”
t “No; why s cold wet We can’t sup
ply the demand forit. If we sought cus
itomeu that would be a different thing;
! We can makes big profit from it new, and
‘we intend to do it."
i The as, it is said, costs the company
‘only flay cents per thousand feet, and,
ithsy sell it for Oil—New York Sun.
AN Eccnn'rmo Winn—Wells in the
oil regions have flowed salt water, fresh
water, gen and oil. We now have infor
mation that a well in Butler county has
been flowing balls of fire. To add to the
interest of t e phenomenon, each of these
balls of fire,exploded with a loud re rt.
The well is situated on the McCaugfisss
farm, in Butler county, Pa., considerable
distance beyond developments. It was
finished some time ago, and was drilled
as a test well for that locality. About
the time it was completed an immense
vein of water was struck, which flowed
one hundred feet into the air. The well
has been flowing some months, and is yet
throwing the water about fifty feet into
the air. Recently the family living in
the vicinity of the well were startled by
a loud, rumbling sound, not much unlike
thunder. They found, on going out of ‘
doors, the noise proceeded from the well.
Balls_ of fire rose above the column ot
water and exploded with considerable
violence. The ¥henomenon continued
for some time. hen the rumbling noise
and the balls of fire ceased.
Tnnmr. was a negro marriage in Tal
ledega; Ale. a few days ago, and a few
minutes after the ceremony had been per‘
formed a rejected auitor of the bride
threw his arms around her neck, and, in
the presence of a number of persons, in
flicted on her eight or nine stabs, from
which she died almost instantly. He
then mounted the Court House steps and
proclaimed: “I done it; hang me or kill
me, just as you plea-e, only bury me by
Liza's side."
Hints From the Poultry World.
Fowm drink water freely, but they
don‘t know just how much they need
and when they have access to the fluid
clean, aweetmui fresh, they imbibe no
more than is good for them. It is,
therefore, unnecessary to mix your
dough too thin and sloppy ut the morn
ing feeding. Have the meal well
scolded, and feed the mixture to the
stock stifl‘and dry, eomperutively. This
feed should generally be composed of
both corn and rye meal, with vegetables
—-sny one-third each. In our practice we
huvc found this preferable. both for the
birds und, as an economicul provision.
l'orthe old or the growing stock. A
little pepper occasionally in this dough,
and uquys selt, will improve the mess.
OLD breeders declare ‘that chickens
from the eggs laid earliest in the season
are the most likely to live and thrive,
afterhatcliing. It is claimed that con
tinuous laying enfeehles the hens’ sys
tems to such an extent that the later
eggs in the spring litters are not well on
dowed with vigor. The constant atten
tions of the cock to his flock of hens will
also impair his usefulness as astock
getter. We have tried the alternating
process to good advantage; s‘. e., allow
ing one rock as a companion to the hens
for three days,and a second crower for
the following three days—first one and
then the other male, of the same strain,
of course, and brothers preferred which
are equal to each other in general qual
ities. This plan necessitates the keep
ing of two good cocks for use in the
yards where adozen or fifteen hens are
being bred. But it will pay, where only
first-class chicks are looked for, in the
progeny.
'Eoos 0a Tums Fowrs’t—“Which
yields the better or greater profit?" in
quires an experimenter. Perhaps the
former—if we cultivate the right breeds
for egg-production. A good way to cal
culate this problem is to select the sort
of fowls that will, in proportion to size,
yield you the largest average number of
eggs in a given time. Two dozen eggs,
at the best market rate of fresh ones,
will bring about the price of a common
fowl‘s dressed carcass. If you cultivate
only the ordinary barn yard fowls, or the
lesser-sized birds, like the Leghorns, for
example, you may get so good] y a pro
duct of eggs (in number) in a season, as
to make these pay you better than will
the fowl itself, merely as dressed poultry.
The Leghorns will laya good many eggs
ioayear, with a fair chance and good
keeping. It costs, to support these
small towls, less than it does to feed the
Asiatics, while the eggs are. being
grown. And, in the market, “an egg is
an egg.” We should, therefore, say
that, ordinarily, the production of eggs
from moderate-sized flocks, that may be
disposed of at a handy market (or to
families in your neighborhood who are
willing to pay the highest price for
fresh ones for their own tables), will give
agreater profit than will dead poultry
alone.
Snamxo rim. Cunnaum—ln our small
garden of about an acre we have two
rows of the common Red Dutch Current.
and while one row contains nothing but
the currents, the other was planted some
two cars ago with the led Antwerp
Raspberry, for want of space elsewhere,
and the soil being of a porous nature, a
irich sandy loam, by frequent application
10f manure for vegetables, the raspberries
‘ made a very strong growth, besides pro
‘ducing the present season a bountiful
crop of fruit. As I desired to get all the
plants I could for lanting another year
the suckers were alfowed to grow, so that
the current bushes were pretty well cov
ered upl bythem. Now the result was
more t an double the amount of currents
in the shade of raspberries than on the
other row. The situation is a gentle
southern slope. but a northern one is
much better. The sun is a little too hot
for the current here, and the fruit is
mostly found in the shaded part of the
bush; therefore, as a. protection, I would
suggest planting the raspberry, and you'
will not only have morocurrants but some
raspberries, too.-J. Hunter, Jl2, Fair.

A New Cure for Consumption.
A writer in the Hartford Times Venti
latcs a new theory in regard to the cure
of consumption. He says: “I have a plan
which I have long thought worthy of
‘ trial as a cure not only for consumpmm
but yellow fever and cholera. It is
founded on the fact that the human body
can safely endure a temperature of 800 to
350 degrees. More than a generation 830
men in England tried the experiment of
staying in an oven while meat roasted,
They only used the precaution of not hav.
ing metallic articles on their clothing
But here rises an inquiry natural to the
student mind. Is the air which enters
and exists in the lungs much hotter than
the normal ninety degrees oi‘ the blood?
This air of three hundred degrees playg
harmlgas around the body, including the
red-skinned mucous oritices of mouth and

disease ceased. The same or greater heat
would seem likely to destroy all malari

matter which it could reach. I think the

the great tire. Modern art can increase
the force of heat by adding the vapor of

The Measure of Success.
One of the chief causes, of failure to
prosper in business is dislike of strenu
ous exertion. especially when manual la
bor is entailed. Too many young men
get the idea that bec use they are smart
they ought to be magnum by their wits,
and they shift about from pillar to post
in any occupation imposing upon them
what is commonly termed manual labor.
This indeed is a sad mistake; dcsultory
itinerant occupations are laborious to the
body, and from their vicissitudes and un
certainty vory exhausting to the mind.
All men cannot, in the nature of things,
learn to follow a trade or till the roil, but
those who fall into those vocations will '
ii'ud their pursuits less onerous and more
remunerative than such occupations as
we consider purely intellectual. If an
operative becomes a skilled workman, or
the farmer becomes a thorough master of
agriculture, he is a success, even though
he does not attain riches; and if be per
mits this latter fact to render him dis
contented, it is not an evidence that his
career has been a failure, but rather that
he permits a morbid feeling to over
shadow his achievements as an industri
ous and painstaking citizen. His fidelity
and skill are in themselves evidences of
success. It seems to be a human pro
clivity to wish that oae's occupation had
been something else, almost anything in
deed but that which it actuall is, and we
often hearit said, “if I he! my life to
pass over again, I would be a so-aud-so.”
The old adage, “Let the shoemaker stick
to his last," is justified by experience,
but the wisdom of the proverb remains
the same, when changing two Words we
say, “Let the farmer stick to his plouqh."
