faulty from Altoona to Tyrone, where he will

The exhibition and explanation OF tho Amer-
lean telephone perhaps attracted the largest
share Of popular interest. Conversation was
carried on between persons at Plymouth and

The surroundings OF Plymouth are attractive.
and many pleasant excursions were planned
for members Of the Association. Among these
was visit to the celebrated Eddystone light
house, about fourteen miles from the fort This

house that has been built upon the Eldystone
rocks. il soon to be taken down. An official
announcement Of this fact was made before tho

los years ago, but its safety has become greatly
endangered by the action Of the waves upon thd
solid rock on which it stands. This is so UNDER
mined that tho great lighthouse must como
down. Another is to bo erected ON u safer pari

Altogether, the Plymouth meeting Of the Brit.

pectation. 1t was held in n period of reaction,
aud while its conductors were not the most dis

were sufficiently prominent to command ro-
