The time may come, though it
may seem premature to expect 1t,
when o mans words will be made
to write themselves down automa-
tically as fast as they come from

a sound picture, or a sonogram,
that we may gaze upon as we now
do upon a light.picture, and trans
late rs we do the notes Of a piece
Of music. Nonsense, you say 7 II is
no nonsense, no dream. Go ask a
physicist # he can conceive its pos
sibility, and, unless he be a very
narrow sighted member ofhis COM
munity, he will reply that he can.
You who now say nonsense
would have said the same fifty
years ago, fanny one had told you
that some day the image Of your
countenance would paint itself
photographically. But before you
repeat your derision, think ofthis:
Light is a wave-motion, and the
chemist has found a substance
which the waves, as they dash
against it, can tranform or trans,
mute ; and so we have got photo.
graphy. Sound is a wave motion
its waves are breakers, lights
are as ripples; the former large anC
slow, the latter small and rapid
Now, since we have got the sub
stance that is impressible by the
little weak waves, why should we
despair of finding substance that
will alter under the influence OF
the great, strong ones? We can
make a lamp.glass ring with the
voice pitched to a certain note,
soon we may cause the same sound
to vibrate a body that will make q
mark on paper us it swings, and
then we can make another working
body vibratte TO another sound,
and 30 on up the gamut. Thus
we shall get an apparatus which

NICHOLSON

The following from the CleVe-
land Herald gives some interesting
and useful information as to the
use and durability Of the NicolsOn
wooden pavement. As we are 10
need Of something of the kind
right now and this character of
pavement seems a favorite one we
commend the extract 10 our readers
Of this city:
A partial answer has been given
within q few days by the digging
up and relaying ola portion Of the
pavement at the intersection Of
Erie, Prospect, and Huron streets.
A main sewer was last year carried
up Erie street, and the pavement at
the intersection had to be taken up
and relaid in consequence Of the
settlement of the earth above and
around the sewer. This was the
first section Of Nicolson laid in
Cleveland. 1t was, as those familiar
with its construction we'll remem.
Der, not laid with the care and
thOroughness now employed. The
contract was let at a low figure and
the contractor was exceedingly
anxious to save himself by "scrimp-
ing" his work, though even then
compelled to abandon it before
much progress had been made
The bed-boards were slightly swab-
bed with tar when laid in position
instead Of dipped in TAR at boiling
heat, and in slushing the laid pave.
ment the hot tar was very sparing-
ly used. The section referred to is
supported by dirt road on two sides
and connects with a stone pave.
ment OH the third side. A water
plug is in the centre at which the
water carts take their supplies, and
consequently that part Of the street
Is, during the Summer, constantly
drenched with water and liquid
mud. A more severe test TO a
wooden pavement could scarcely
be applied in this city.
Close personal observation en-.
bles us to bear some testimony as
to how the test has been sustained.
When the blocks had been taken
up and lay scattered about, open to
the most searching Investigation,
only a block here and there, prob.
ably not more than one per cent.
could be found giving the slightest
symptom of interior decay, and nc
really "rotten" block came under
notice. The bed-planks and strips
were in equally good condition.
and were relaid just as they came
up. The fibre of the blocks was az
firm and tough as when first laid
with the sap fresh within them
The tar itself had not perpetrated
far beneath the surface, owing
probably to its economical use,
but its essential principle hat
permcated the woody iibrt
throughout, infusing it with thu
larry odOr, eiIectually preventing
the development of insect eggs anC
thus preventing dry rot. The crow
Of the blocks, after five years har,
wear, had been worn away Oh
broomed down to the depth OF no
exceeding half an inch.
If the NicOlson, not laid in thu
best manner, has so we'll stood s,
severe a test, there Is little rsasOI
for doubling the durability of tn
pavement In other streets, wher
great improvements in the name
Of laying have been introduced.

LITTLE NELLIE.

The following lines were CON-
posed by a gallant officer In the &C.

to the little daughter Of one Of Mo-

custom he would succeed to the

death of Gen. Thomas, and with
this view Of the subject, address

quiring why he was not promoted
to the position. This letter was
submitted to the President who
gave his instructions 10 Gen. Sher-
man, who, in accordance there.

nothing in your personal relations

General Hancock is q Democrat
and was q prominent candidate
for nomination as q Presidential
candidate at the hands Of the
Democracy at the time Horatio
Seymour was chosen. This then
is the "ohicial relation 10 which
Gen. Grant referred. That is, they
