he should hear only gentle, loving

The Snow Plant of the sierras.

One of the grandest objects, says the
San Francisco Bulletin, which meets the
eye Of the traveller in our mountains is the
exquisite plant, the snow plant of the
Sierras--the Sarcodes Sanguinea Of John
Torey, the botanist. 1t is an inhabitant
only Of the higher Sierras, being rarely
found below an altitude of 4 900 feet, and
its glorious crimson spike Of flowers may
be seen early in May forcing itself through
the SHOWS which at that period cling about
the sides Of our pine forests. That por-
tion Of the plant which is visible above the
soil is bright rosy crimson in color, and
presents the very strongest contrast 10 the
dark green Of the pines and the simmer
Of the snow. Its root is succulent, thick,
and abundantly free Of moisture, attaching
itself to the roots of other plants, princi-
pally to the species of the pine family.
Hence il is among these curious members
of the vegetable world which are known to
botanists as parasites, and is consequently
entirely incapable Of cultivation. The
deer are extremely fond of it, and it is not
an uncommon circumstance TO find num-
Der of the plants uprooted and robbed of
the feshy part of their underground growth
by these animals. II belongs to the ma
tural order 0robanchacea, and is met with
through the whole Sierra region, becom-
ing rarer as we approach the south.

The Telephone.

This is new instrument recently in.
vented by Mr.. Elisha Gray, Of Chicago,
for the transmission Of sounds. Noted
electricians say that they believe the time
will come when the operators will transmit
the sounds of their own voices over the
wires. The novel instrument called the
telephone has been seen at work, and has
played music on piano-key board, trans
uniting through an unbroken circuit Of
two thousand four hundred miles, and re-
produced on violin attached to the re.
ceiving end Of the wire. Mr. Gray played
"Hail Columbia 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner" "God Save the Queen" cyan.
kee Doodle" and other well-known airs,
and they were unmistakably repeated, note
for note, on the violin which lay on table
near at hand. Even an accidental false
note was Immediately detected on the VIC
lin. Mr.. Gray exhibited many other ex-
periments with tin cans, small paper drums,
etc. which were attached to the receiving
end of the wire in the place Of the violin.
The paper drum gave to the musical
sounds just that peculiar buzzing twang
which is produced by boys placing piece
of thin paper over hair comb and then
blowing on It. What this will all lead to,
or where it viii all end, is one Of the most
extraordinary problems Of the day.
