Hearing Sounds in the Sun.

1t is not precisely correct to say that
the sounds made in the sun yesterday by
the terrible storms that rage around the
"spots" were heard in this city, but
something like it is true. The telephone
is a little box of magnctized iron with
some insulated wire coiled around it and
Il disc of thin sheet iron firmly placed
thirty-scc0nd of an inch from one end.
The sounds heard can hardly be said to
be impaired by vibration, tor they may
he conveyed through a clumsy disc two
inches in diameter and quarter of an
inch thick, which can hardly be said to
yibrate with such delicacy as to enable
one to distinguish the different tones of
different persons Yet those tones can
be heard. Now the telephone is affected
by the magnetic disturbances or storms
which are frequently taking place on the
earth. And, short time ago, a great
magnetic storm, which made itself known
also through brilliant aurora bOrealis,
completely silenced the telephone for
time, as it sometimes does the ordinary
telegraph. Such storms accompany dis
turbances in the spots of the sun.
Prof. Bell one day laid aside the tele.
phone at his end OF the line, and filling
his ear with water laid the end of the
copper wire thereon. He heard the
words uttered into the telephone at the
other end of the line
When the telephone wire is put up
entirely Independent of the ordinary
electric telegraphic wires it works best,
but even then there are delicate sounds
like light sparkling, crackling-or frying
for that best describes it. Now these !
sounds are strongest when the suns at. /
is most disturbed and the ter
restial magnetic currentsare consequently |
most agitated. What is it that is heard =? |

The mosquitoes, it has been discovered
by learned professor are possessed of
great powers of observation and penetra-
ton. Down at the seaside we have
noticed this fact ourselves. When big
trunk was landed from an express wagon
into the entry of a hotel the nimblc in
sects usually made for it and crawled
through the kevhole for the purpose Of
taking notes. II the clothes within be-
tokened that fat person was The owner,
the mosquitoes would stay within and be
carried up to the room, where they would
lay for the fat person until bed time. If
the garments belonged to thin person
the insects would pile out through the
keyhole in doublc-quick order This is
an actual fact. PhiladePhia Bulletin.

Change of Scene.

Midnight on North Hill. The de-
clining moon CLEANS from the starry
heavens like the smile on the face of the
jack-o'-lantern. A young man leans
against the end of the vine embowered
porch beneath the window of his dear
and sings, ooh, for touch of that soft
white hand, on my fever-throbbing
brow" And then her father, emitting
himself stealthily from tfe front door,
stole up and touched the young man just
below thr. tournure with n number nine
boot, and the moon went down in asea of
blood, and the pail of darkness blotted
out the stals.--B burlington Hawkeye.

The Preservation OF Eggs.

The Journal Of the Medical Academy
Of Turin, in recent number says: The
sure and simple method of keeping eggs
soupd by snearing the shells with linsecl
oil has long been practiced. The oil
forms sort of film over the shell, there
by preventing the two immediate causes
Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS from and
penetration of air into the egg. A rect mt
experiment in point deserves notice. A
dozen new.laid eggs were rubbed over
with linseed oil applied with the tip of
the finger; another dozen were coated in
like manner with poppy oil two more
eggs were left in their natural state. The
whole twenty-six were then laid close
together in three rows, in dry sand upon
a shelf, where they were left undisturbed.
At the end of three months they were
weighed, and again at the end of six
months, when they were opened. The
two eggs left in their natural state at the
end OF three months had lost | | per cent.
of their weight, and at the end of six
months Is per cent, and were found to
be half empty and the contents rotten.
The eggs coated with poppy oil in three
months lost 3 per cent, and in six months
A per cent. of their weight. The eggs
were still full and devoid of unpleasant
smell. the eggs rubbed over with lin.
seed oil in three months lost 9 per cent,
and in six months 3 per cent. only of
their weight and when opened were
found to be full, with the smell of fresh
eggs.

Writing for the Press.

Waste no time on introductions.
Don't begin by laying out your subject
like Dutch flower garden or telling
your motives for writing. The keynote,
il possible, should be struck in the very
first sentence. A dull beginning often
damns an article; spicy one whets the
appetite and commends what follows to
both editor and reader. Above all stop
when you are done. Don't let the ghost
Of your thought wander about after the
death Of the body. Don't waste a mo-
menrs time in vindicating your produc-
ton, against editors or critics, but ex-
pend your energies in writing something
which shall be its own yindication.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


A writer in the Germantown Telegraph
thus pleasantly hits OIL u common mistake
of farmers:
Some farmers are continually in trouble
with their live stock. Nova horse, now a
cow, then the hogs, the chickens, the
dogs, and even the cat, gets out OF tune.
! am often asked what to do in such
cases, but as | never have sick animals, !
can seldom give advice. However, 30 as
TO uphold the natural dignity belonging
TO sixty.fiye winters, ! generally cate.
chi.e my inquirer little in this manner;
Hsw do you treat yonr stock? "Oh well,
! now and then give them purge to
clean them out; somtimes a little sulphur
or saltpetre and condition powders y
Why? SO as to keep them in good
order, you know" So you give them
medicine when they are well, do you =?
" Yes; almost every one does" And
what do you do when they get sick !?
" Why then | 20 to some Of my neigh
bors to come,and see the animal we look
at him, feel him all over, and" Well,
and then what? Somebody guesses
that maybe little saltpetrc or turpentine
might be good" Yes, and then down
gsc. the dose, | suppose. "Ot course, we
do all we can" Now, you will see, |
have got my neighbor fiat on his back,
and this is the way let him up; Well,
you are q comical doctor. You know
exactly what kind Of medicine isgood for
horse when he is well, but when he is
sick you have to run all around foradvice.
Now, don't you think that your well
doses are the cause OF your needing sick
ones? OF goes the hat, and up goes the
finger nails there is new idea creeping
in. Thank you, sir; after this I'll
save my physic till my stock needit.
