scope does for those that come
through the eye. Speaking Of
this great thing the st. Louis
Republican says:
1t increases and exaggerates
sound to such an extent that it
is claimed that the '.lightest
touches of a feathers edge or OF
Il camel's hair brush on the
sounding. board of the telephone
produce a cracking noise of
which the intensity is almost
painful to the ear" 1t is even
said that if a house-fy walks
across the sounding disk of
telephone, the footsteps are dis
tinctly andible in connecting
telephones miles away. The
construction Of this machine Is
very unsatisfactory described in
the papers that speak Of it, but
the following paragraph will
give a faint conception OF the
principles on which 1t depends:
.Two pieces Of charcoal cheat
ed to q white heat, are plunged
into mercury; they are then
placed in a glass tube and press
ed end to end, making part of
an electric circuit; if a telephone
is introduced in the circuit, and
a sound is sent through the two
pieces Of charcoal, it comes out
at the end Of the circuit sensibly
increased in volume. Heat,
light, sound and electricity are
supposed by many physicists to
be interconvertible. The proba-
bilities are that we have here a
conversion Of electricity into
sound"
Edison says the invention Of
Prof. Hughes is nothing but q
"big steal" from the telephone;
but this is evidently as unjust as
it would be to call the magnetic
telegraph a big steal from Frank
lyn's lightning-rod.

II you are troubled with nervous
ness, are disheartenee-, tired Of life,
fear death or feel out of sorts, as the
saying is, you may safely conclude
that you have the Dyspepsia or
Liver Complaint. The liver is apt
to become torpid at this season OF
the year as poisons arising from
stagnant water or decaying vegeta
ton are more numerous and are
through inhalation taken into the
blood. Unless the liver is strong
and active. and furnishes supply
of fresh and pure blood to drive out
the impurities, the above mentioned
symptoms surely follow, and if not
heeded. end in more terrible dis
eases and death. Whites Prairie

Panacea. It's action on the liver is
different from any other medicine
ever compounded. Its cures are
truly wonderful. Try it. Price, 25

a Fairy Tale Of Science.

Edison's telephone, even in
its present crude state, is already
the parent Of other inventions
that promise to so on in steady
accrument until we shall have
wonders in comparison with
which even the electric telegraph
and steam engine are trifles.
The hardest problem Edison has
yet to deal with is to make his
telephone nd phonograph talk
loud enough, though he promi-
ses, by his aurophone, soon to
make them talk so as to tie heard
twenty miles.
Meantime, however, Professor
d. E Hughes, of London, comes
before the Royal Academy with
a machine which he calls the
microphane, and to which he
