THE TELEPHONE.

AS the telephone, tn new invention of
Prof. A. Graham Bell, is but little under
stood, the following reprint of q description
and explanation Of the instrument may not
be amiss: "The telephone in its present
form consists Of q powerful compound,
permanent magnet, to the poles Of which
are attached ordinary telegraph coils of
insulated wire. In front Of the poles,
surrounded by these coils of wire, is
placed a diaphragm of iron. A mouth
piece to converge the sound upon this
diaphragm, substantially completes the
arrangement. The motion of the steel or
iron in front of the poles of a magnet
creates a current of electricity in coils
surrounding the poles of the magnet, and
the duration of the current of electricity
comedies with the duration Of the motion
OF the steel or iron moved or vibratsd in
, 1877-06-13

which we regre! to say is to be found
on only some haIf-dozen estates in the
colony. We are convinced that the main
tenAnce of an Estates School on an es-
tate is really a sound, and can scarcely
fail ultimately to become a profitable,
undertaking.
We cannot leave Orange G,ove, low
ever, without q word about the new
Sugar Store, about a hundred yards from
the railway, up to which a branch-lIne
runs. It is q fine wooden building, built
after the plan Of an English Goods Station
the line passing down the middle. 1t
has accommodation for some 800 hogs
heads. Without doubt, it is the finest
station on the line,-in6niteIy superior
to the Port of-Spain Terminus,-T'inidod

ELECTRIC CANDLE.

The 1ames publishes an account of an "elec-
trio candle" Invented by a Russian ex.ofiorr,
NJ. Paul Jablochkoff, now in Paris. This
gentleman uses a "candle'' of some compound
which is his secret, but into which " kaolin,"
the clay from which hard china is made, large.
ly enters, and with one battery can produce
some fifty lights. They are so powerful that
it is necessary to soften the light by using opa-
Iine burners, and six of them gave in Marengo
Hall, Paris, a light equal to that from one
hundred argand gas-burners. 1t is believed
that thelight can be used for theatres and all
other large buildings, and further improve
ments are expected, but as yet nothing is said
either Of its cost or of the amount of trouble
involved. The main fact as yet is that

the proximity of the magnet. When the
human voice causes the diaphragm to
vibrute, electric undulutions are induced
in the coils environing the magnets pre-
cisely analogous to the updulatlons OF the
air produced by that voice. These coils
are connected with the line wire, which
way be of any length, provided the in
s%ulatioa b. good. The undulations which
are induced in these coils travel through
the line wire, and passing through the
coils Of an instrument Of precisely similar
construction at the distant station, are
again resolved into air unduIations by the
diaphragm of this Instrument. "-Boston

ELECTRIC PLANT.

Science has busted itself lately in disco
vering many vegetable monsters. It is
startling to read now and then about
great open-mouthed and most glpttonous
flowers, supposed to be growing in unex-
plored lands, Which are capable Of dcvour-
ing the unwary traveller il he approach
them too closely. OF course in the best
modern textbooks of botany, such as
Z" Browns Manual" these romantic stories
are not told, and we are put off with moro
simple accounts Of the v|oracitY Of plants.
Tho learned Dr.. Brown, for example, who
gives q careful digest of all the most recent
information on this matter in his work
above mentioned, would have US believe
that the vegetable kingdom produces no
more savage plaut than {" Venus's Agtrap =
but, for all that, lovers of the marvellous
will persist in clinging to heir faith in the
existence OF flora man-eaters, whose diges-
lions are equal to a tougher food than flies.
Be that as 1t may, a Belgian botanist, we
read, reports from Nicaragua that he has
discovered {" member of the PbytoIaee-
Gus family" which is gifted, if not wish
cannibal, at least with most aggressive
or cOmbative propensities. Those who
dare to touch it will get a shock as sharp
as that Of q powerful electric battery. and
he must be a bold man indeed who ven
lures to pluck a leaf from its branches.
In fact we are asked to believe that this
wonderful plant possesses q power Of self
defence like that which makes the cleo
trio eel such a disagreeable creature to
NEEDLE with. How the announcement
will be received by the scientific world
we cannot say. 1t that which is stranger
than fiction be true, then nobody reed
scruple to accept the discovery of the in
gcnious Belgian as q matter of frmIy.es-
tabIiShrd fact. Indeed, it is said that the
plant is SO full of electric action that when
the mariners compass is put near it 8 de-
Walton Of the needle takes place, aud that
when q magnet Indicator is deposited in
the centre Of the plant an uncertain tre-
mulous movement is kept up. Consider
ing the value Of electricity to civilisation,
mightnot the qualities Of this strange mem
