A NEW USE FOR THE TELEPHONE.

A police inspector at Odessa, whose name, Dob-
rjinsky, deserves in spite of its dissonance to be men-
tioned on account of his cleverness, has discovered a
new use for the telephone. One day last week a
policeman brought to the station a Jew, having in
his possession a quantity of silver believed to be
stolen. The silver was in a semi-molten condition,
and had none of its original features remaining to
assist in its identification. Hence, as the Jew stoutly
declared the metal to be his own property, the police
inspector was put in a fix, from which all his cross-
examination of the presumed thief failed to extricate
him. At last a bright idea struck him. He went to
the telephone in the adjoining room, and, mentioning'
to the officials at the police-master's office what
had happened, instructed them to utter in.
solemn tones, on a signal being given, the
words— " Itsno Smeliansky, it will be better
for thee to confess that thou hast robbed,
somebody, otherwise thy punishment will in-
evitably be more severe." Afterwards, summoning
the Jew into the room, he pointed to the instrument
on the wall, and told him that it really did not matter
whether he divulged his crime or not, as the
" machine " would do it for him. At this the Jew
laughed outright, while the inspector placed a sheet
of paper on the table and prepared to taker down
the confession. When everything was ready, he told
the Jew to put the tube to his ear, and decide whether
he would confess himself, or allow the " machine " to
do it for him. Then, giving the signal, he returned
to the table, when a second or two later he had the
satisfaction of seeing the Jew's face turn deadly pale
at hearing the solemn advice mysteriously conveyed
to him by the "machine," and of noting down directly
afterwards a penitent confession from the thief's own,
lips.

A BURMESE BAND.

The Evening Standard says: Of course Mr. Barnum
is not dissatisfied with the white elephant. That
curiosity is all his fancy painted, and it is only to do
the sacred beast fitting honour, to make it feel at
home on a strange shore, that Mr. Barnum has
engaged a real Burmese band, a description of
which is furnished by an unprejudiced local corre-
spondent. There are five instruments in this
orchestra—a flute, a clarionet with a "dangling, bell-
shaped mouth," a castanet, an indeterminate number
of drums, and gongs incalculable; but there are only
five performers. Drums and gongs predominate, as is
seen, and to produce with these the utmost effect of
which human beings are capable to do or to
suffer, human ingenuity has contrived a machine.
The performer squats inside his biggest drum,
five feet in diameter, within which are hung smaller
instruments of torture, nobody knows how many.
These the musician sounds, one after another, with a
regularity and precision of touch delightful to the
Burmese connoisseur, varying the strain from time to
time by a resounding whack upon the walls of his
parchment prison. The gong-man has an apart-
ment much resembling this, and the castanet per-
former is not less business-like. His pleasing
instruments are two feet long, of stout bamboo, which
he slaps together with the noise of a pistol-shot, and
something like that effect on unaccustomed ears.
Mr. Barnum's agent confidently expects to astonish
his countrymen with this entertainment, and there is
no serious reason to tilt:* that be will be disappointed
in that rctlect lead._

EXTRAORDINARY MURDER in PARIS.

A child has been mysteriously murdered in the Gros
Caillou quarter of Paris. On Friday evening in last
week a couple named Fourie, occupying a small flat,
at 4001. rent, in the Rue Surcoaf, went out to spend a
few hours with an aunt living in the same street.
They left a little girl of two years old asleep in a
cradle, a lighted candle being in the room, and a lamp
in the adjoining one. The mother, who had waited
an hour after her husband, till the child fell asleep,
double-locked the outer door. On returning home,
in an hour and a half, they found that the door was
opened with only one turn of the key. Alarmed at
this, they rushed to the cradle, and found it empty,
while both candle and lamp were extinguished The
neighbours were summoned by their cries, and found
the child's body, head downwards, in the filter in the
kitchen. There were marks of blows on the head,
and the body had been forcibly squeezed into the
filter. The nightdress had not been removed. A
closet had been rummaged, and some bonds torn up,
but no theft had been committed. The motive of the
crime is a mystery.

WEALTH IN ICE.

"Is there any money in the ice business?"
"Yes, sir," he began; "I began at the beginning
and worked my way up. Ten years ago I was a
spudder at 1 dol. 50c. a day, and now any bank in the city
will honour my draft for 100,000 dols.,.and every dollar
of it was made in the ice business."

" So there is money in it, then?"
"Well, somewhat. I'm feeling pretty good myself,
just now, and I don't mind giving you a few figures to
prove that an ice-pond is first cousin to the United
States mint."

"Let me see. We will take my smallest house to
figure on."
He fished a stub of lead pencil out of his pocket
and began figuring on the smooth table top.
"My smallest ice-house will hold 11,000 tons of
ice. Put that down-11,000. So. Twenty-five ice-
cutters will cut and pack that house full to the roof
in six days. We pay those men an average of 2 dols.
a day, which makes two times twenty-five, which is
50 dols. a day for six days, which is six times 50 dols.,
which is 300 dols. In addition to those twenty-five
men, I have three horses at work, worth, perhaps,
7 dols. per day, together, which is 42 dols. for the six
days. Add this to the 300 dols., and 342 dols. as the
cost of labour for housing 11,000 tons of ice. The
interest on the capital invested, taxes, insurance,
occasional repairs, tools, etc., will amount to perhaps
300 dols. more—a very liberal estimate—which we
will add to the 342 dols. before found, we have 642
dols. as the sum total of the cost of our harvest.

"I sold the contents of that house, in a lump, at
1.45 dols. a ton, last spring, just as it lay—the buyer
to got it out and ship it at his own expense. Eleven
thousand tons, at 1.45 dols. a ton, is 145 times 11,000.
One hundred and forty-five times 11,000 gives us
15.050 dols. as the value of our crop. Taking 642
dols. expenses, we have 15,308 dols. clear profit for
one season on the contents of one house. Some
seasons it is more, some less. But I have yet failed
to get a full crop and to sell it at good figures."
"What would that ice sell for at retail ?"

"It retailed last summer at thirty cents a hundred,
which would bring the value of my 11,000 tons up to
66,000 dols. But in retailing ice there is a great deal
of waste, as well as expense in delivery, so that I
prefer to sell wholesale at one-fourth retail rates."
" Even then owning a house and pond is rather
better than ' spudding ' at 1.50 dols. a day?"
"A trifle. With me it is, perhaps, 20,000 dols. a
season better."—Detroit Free Press.

EXHIBITIONS AT VIENNA.

Two Exhibitions have just been opened at Vienna
—the Ornithological Exhibition, in the grounds of the
Horticultural Society, and the Fat Cattle Show, in
St. Mark's Market. Soon after the opening of the
former the Crown Prince and Princess, wearing
mourning for the Duke of Albany, arrived to inspect
it. They examined the entire exhibition, including
the singing and migratory birds, those for sport, and
the domestic and aquatic species. he stuffed birds,
the hatching apparatus, &c., and the Polar section,
the
sitting birds from Jan Mayen, collected during
he North Polar expedition of Count Wilczek, excited
special interest.

PREPARE TO RECEIVE
CAVALRY 1 "—A amusing
instance of military readiness is
n
given in Napier s
Memo2rs. The troops were defiling down a narrow
'
gorge in India, when suddenly a mad bull was seen
charging down at full swing and with tremendous im-
petus. The captain had 'presence of mind enough to
give the word of command, which his soldiers mechani-
cally followed. The order he gave sounds peculiar
enough ; it was this—'• Prepare to receive cavalry ! "
The soldiers obeyed, and the unfortunate bull was im-
paled on their bayonets.

THE CULTIVATION OF THE SILK-
WORM.

Many schoolboys in this country, and not a few of
their sisters, rear silkworms, and sometimes obtain a
little silk; but they labour under climatic dis-
advantages, and cannot, perhaps, hope to reach such
success as has rewarded the efforts of Miss Nellie
Lincoln Rossiter, of Haddington, a suburb of Phila-
delphia. For some years efforts have been made in
various parts of the United States to make serici-
culture commercially profitable; and the most suc-
cessful worker—certainly the leading authority in all
that relates to its practice--is Miss Rossiter, a young
lady not yet seventeen. Her pamphlet on silk cul-
ture is the acknowledged text-book, and she supplies
eggs, cocoons, and reeled silk, not only to all parts of
her native country, but to many parts of the world.
In the season every available space in the large house
in which she resides with her pursuits is occupied by
the frames and trays in which the worms and moths
are reared, and the parlour is devoted to he'r "col-
lection," with the exception of that at Washington,
belonging to the Government, the finest in the States,
for it contains presents to Miss Rossiter from all the
silk-rearing districts in the world. Pennsylvania and
New Jersey are the most Northern States in which
the silkworm may be said to thrive, the great bulk
of the American silk being produced by women in
the Southern States, notably in Utah. Miss Rossiter's
success shows what can be done when, a hobloy having
been found, it is worked with diligence, perseverance,
and skill; it is something more than a hobby with
her, for she finds a ready sale for all the eggs, cocoons,
and silk she does not give away, and, though so
young, has made for herself a national reputation by
her teaching and her example. Her name is known
even in Asia Minor, where in some of the poorer
villages American missionaries, with her assistance,
have taught the villagers the art of rearing silkworms.
