MARyELs OF TELEGRAPHY.

Means having been sound to talk audibly
over the electric wires, we are noW told that
nm instrument has been invented, by which
perfect copies of messages, maps, pictures,
etc, may be transmitted. JIG Smith, OF
Iayersack, N. j., is the inventor. During
the Centennial Exhibitions "a specimen ofthe
facsimile telegraph was placed in Machlr-
cry Hall, connected with another instrument
at The Weather Bureau at Washington. by
means of it the Signal-Seryice weather maps
made out at Washington, were daily trans
mittcd to the Exposition grounds, including
the fac-simile signature of the Secretary OF
War, which daily appears upon this map,
and, having been Autographed, was printed
and distributed precisely as it had been
made out at Washington. The inventor is
seeking capital 10 bring his invention into
general use.

SUBSTITUTES FOR STEAM.

1t is known that the expansion OF liquids
by heat takes place with such force hat
it may be considered irresistible,
while vapors being elastic, any resistance
causes compression it is true that the eX-
pans1on of liquid into aTa2or causes an ex-
pansion many hundred times equal to the
volume of the liquid, and that theexpansion
of the LIQUID itself By heat is very small
but. in compensation for this, the force de-
,veloped is
This is now being applied to develop pow

which either oil or,glycerine is made TO per-
form the functions of steam by the same
means-the application Of heat-have ex-
cited no small interest. The heat expand

be obtained without the danger of steam
explosions, which latter prevents the use OF
n pressure of more than 900 pounds to the

explosion will only crack the,eylinGor con-

to have been successfully made to the print
ing press and to machines for riveting and
punching, and it is alleged that the variety
OF uses OF which it is susceptible will be
found very great.
1t is known that the rapid motion OF a
steam piston may, by gearing and betting,
he made to produce avery slow but power
ful motion over a very small space, able TO
pnnch and cut iron plates otherwise requir-
ing tons of pressure to penetrate, and it is
equally evident that this operation may be
inverted, and that a slow and very powerful

telegraph wire. BY the use ofsthis method
it is proposed to send an almost unlimited
number of messages in both directions, SIM
ultaneously, over the single wire. The
nrinciple i. as follows: a person speaking
or singing into a mouthpiece causes q mem
brane tosvibrate. Il steel spring connected
with the wire throws the electric current
into corresponding nndulations, which, act
ing on the corresponding membrane at the
other end Of the line. r%econverts the vibra-
tons into ineligible words and sounds.
The sounds are not loud, but very distinct,
so that q PERSONS voice can be recognized
by placing the ear at the mouthpiece. If
the success of this system-telephony, it is
termed-be assured, it is no eXaggeration
to say that a revolution III telegraphy will
be accomplished.

In transmitting q message over the At
lantic cable the first signal is felt in four
tenths of second, but the following one
goes through more rapidly. AS many as
seventeen words have been sent over the
Atlantic cable in one minute. Fifteen can
easily be sent under pressure and twelve
words a minute is a good working rate. A
fact not yet explained by the scientists is
that the electricity does not move so rapidly

COAL OIL FOR THE HAIR.

In his report on the trade of Nieolaieff
during the past year, Consul Stevens states
that that part Of South Russia continued
free from cattle plague. But his attention
was drawn in summer to the several cases of
sudden badness of oxen and cows. and the
loss of tails and names among horses. lie
recollected that a former servant of his. pre-
matirely bald, had got the habit, when
trimming the lamps, of wiping his petro-
leum-be-smeared hands in the scanty locks
which remained to him, and the result was
a much finer head of black, glossy hair than
he ever had before. At the consnfs sugges
ton the owner of several black cattle and
horses affected as above mentioned tried the
remedy, and found that it effected a quick
and radical cure. AFhe consul observes that
the petroleum should be @f the most refined
American quality, and Ae rubbed in vigor-
yonsly and quickly with the palm of the
hand at intervals of three days, six or seven
times in all. There is nothing more pene-
trating than petroleum, but we should pre-
fer knowing its efficacy in restoring human
hair had been fully established before rec
ommending experiments in THAT direction.
lt might be tested without fear OF bad con-
sequences ON cattle and horses.
