On Saturday last an exhibi-
ton Of quite novel character
was opened here. 1t is an ex.
hihition Of a talking machine,
which by mechanical applian-
ces is made to give forth utter.
ances resembling those Of a hui
man being. 1t is the invention
OF Professor Faber, of Vienna,
and has been constructed and
patented by him, and is GER
talnIy a wonderful specimen of
human ingenuity. The machine
illustrates a much neglected sci.
ence Of acoustics. Moreover,
it, is highly interesting as show.
LnS now lar ingenuity may go.
The machine has mouth, with
tongue and lips, which are set
in motion by a mechanical ap-
paratus, which sets. free a por.
ton Of air from a large bellows,
and so controls it as to produce
the sound required. 1t pro-
nounces with great clealncss
every letter Of the alphabet,
many words and a few senten-
ces perfectly; not merely set
words, but any words the au.
dience choose to name. 1t al

Somebody Loves Me.

Two or three years AGO the
superintendent Of the Little
Wanderers Home, in -, re-
ceived one morning a request
from the Judge that he would
come up to the court-house.-
lie complied directly, and found
there a group of seven little
girls, dirty, ragged, and forlorn
beyond what even he was ac-
customed to see. The judge,
pointing to them-utterly friend
less and homeless-said
"NIr. r., can you take any Of
them p
"Certainly, I can take them
all, WAS the prompt reply.
"Ah ! What in the world

"I'Il make q woman Of her,
Mr.. T. replied firmly and hope

They were washed and sup

Bees Crossing BdOies of
Water.

In answer to query, wheth-
er an apiary situated near q
body of water, half a mile or
more in width, would not be
subject to many losses on ac-
count of the bees lighting
on the water to rest, q corr
respondent Of the Iowa Home
stead says:
l once lived where my bees
passed over nearly one mile of
water to obtain honey from
white clover, and the loss was
such that my colonies could
not keep up their strength
during the time of gathering
exclusively from white clover.
| could see the drowned bees
float . ashore by the thousands,
While my neighbors' bees, on
the other side Of the water,
were increasing in number and
strong surplus honey, mine
were decreasing and not storing
a particle of surplus. And
now must tell a story about
that same mill pond, and how
| lost over half a swarm of bees,
and how | saved the other
half.
On the east side of my apiary,
it was about twenty rods to
the pond, and not a bush on
that side for the bees to cluster
on, so [ set up three or four
balsam bushes near the bee
house, and when the bees
swarmed and made for the east,
| uesed to take one of these
bushes and carry it along and
hold it where the bees were
flying thickest, and they usually
commenced clustering on it,
and | would walk back to the
bee house with them; but upon
one occasion | had q very
large swarm come out, and
the wind was blowing quite q
gale from the west, and before
the bees had near done coming
out of the hive, those on the
wing were scattered nearly to
the pond, and as they were
heavily loaded with honey, the
wind was sweeping them into
the pond by the thousands. L
caught my bush and hurried
to the edge of the pond, but
instead Of the bees clustering
on the bush, they commenced
clustering directly on my face.
| dropped the brush and with
my left hand commenced to
brush them gently up towards
my hat, and with my right
hand 1 raised it a trife, and
by working cautiously, 1 soon
had what were not drowned
in my hat without getting a
single sting; but more than one
half the swarm were swept in
to the pond by the wind, and
the queen was lost.
Two years ago this spring,
while the soft naples were in
bloom, on seveal afternoons, q
small patch of plowed ground
would be literally covered, so
that a person could not step
without stepping on loaded
bees that were resting. The
nearst soft naples were prob
ably two and a half miles di-
rectly west of my apiary. The
bees were so completely tired
that they could not reach the
hive until they had taken a
rest.
