The Latest Wonder of TclegrapIy.
Os'on Traveller.

The readers of the Traveller have been
made acquainted with the wonderful in
ventions of Prot. Bell, by which musical
and vocal sounds can be and have been
sent over the electric wires, but few, il
any, are aware of the wonderful results
which are sure to follow these improve
ments in telcgraphy. A few nights ago
Prof Bell was in New York, and com
menccd experimenting with one of his
inventions pertaining to the transmits.
sion OF musical sounds. He made Use
of his phonetic organ and played the
tune Of " America" and asked the oper.
ator in New York what he heard.

Prof Bell then played Aud Lang

New York.
Thus, the astounding discovery has
been made that man can play upon
musical instruments in New York, New
Orleans, or London, or Paris, and be
heard distinctly in Boston! If this can
be done, why cannot distinguished per
formers execute the most artistic and
beautiful music in Paris, and an audience
assemble in Music hall, Boston, to listen ?
Prof Bells other improvement, name
", the transmission Of the human voice,
has become so far perfected that persons
have conversed over 900 miles of wire
with perfect ease although as yet the
vocal sounds are not loud enough to bc
heard by more than one or two persons.
But if the human voice can now he sent

The London Times on the Scryian
War.

The Times, in a leading editorial ar
ticlc on the Servo-Turkish conflict, saws
all that comes to us from Belgrade is
contradicted from Constantinoplc, and,
conversely, when the two opposing state
ments appear on the same day in the
same column, the most trusting reader
cannot escape from sensation of disap-
pointment, irritation and indifference.
We may, therefore, confne ourselves to
indicating the main points of the cam
paign as they appear at the present mo-
ment, and the position which neighbor-
ing states have assumed or are likely to
assume in consequence. 1t is not certain
that the original plan of the Servian in
vasion has been disconnected, and though
undoubtedly they fought with the great.
est courage, can make no real impression
on the main body of the Turks. Grant
ing the Seryian claim that Gen. Tcher-
nayef has suffered no defeat, that he is
still in advance and has taken means to
assure his communication, we will be-
lieve that he will in the end have to fight
for security of the Servian frontier He
has but Il small army, and the Turks
probably even now outnumber him.
Taking into consideration the numerical
superiority of the Turks, the difficulty
of moving in such country and defec.
tiveness of Gen. Tchernaycff"s equip
ment, we must conclude that the war
will continue to the Feyang Servian
frontier, The strongest feature of the
campaign is the movement of the prince
of Montenegro here. He has force cs-
timated at thirty thousand, largely com.
posed of volunteers from other districts.
He boasts of his great success; that he
has beaten the Turks or they have re
treated before him; that his men would
have made the port of Kick useless to
the Turks, even if the Austrians had not
closed it. He has entered Ncvesinje and
threatens Mostar, but he is not cooper
ating with the Servians. Unless there
be something very profound in the plan
of the campaign, the notion that the
Montenegrns do not count on the sue
cess of their allies, and therefore go for
what they can get for themselves, n short
time will show. Meantime Greece re-
mains entirely peaceful and Roumania
balances her demands on the Porte by |

will probably keep quiet as long as she

Sham Coffee.

We learn from statement in the
Journal Of the chemical society that
sham coffee is manufactured from tough
dough, squeezed into little molds and
baked until the color becomes dark
enough to deceive the eye. Real coffee
berries, when small and worthless, are
improved in color by rolling them about
with leaden bullets in cask. The green
berries, too, are treated by coIoring
matter. In coffee sold ready ground the
dif.cult, of detecting adulteration is
greatly increased; beans, beat root car,
rots and carrot-like roots are roasted ana
mixed in large quantities with the gem
nine article. In the south of Europe,
especially in the provinces OF Austria,
fes are roasted in enormous qualities
and sold as coffee.
