A marvellous instrument. called the
9rophone, has just been invented by
Mr.. Edison, of Philadelphia. 1t is an
instrument into which words can be
articulated, and they gather such force
as to be heard with great distinctness
a number of miles away. 1t may be
termed talking fog-horn. BY its aid
it is claimed that captains at sea can
readily converse while thr:e or four
miles apart. Vessels approaching a
dangerous cosst can be warned by the
erophone, and disaster and, shipwreck
avoided.

Grant at Jerusalem.


Mr.. John Russell Young is the cor
respondent of the New York Herald
with General Grant, and gives very
interesting account of the Generals
pilgrimage to Jerusalem, where he re-
ceived quite reception, as he would
say. Mr.. Young says:
1t was too early in the season to see
Palestine i'll all its glory; but the plain
was rich and fertile, sparkling with
lilies and scarlet anemones, with
groves of orange trees bending under
their yellow foliage, with almond trees
coming into bloom. We had been
these many days in Egypt with no
forest companions but the dropping
date palms, aud we had been lament
ing the parched and barren fields that
came from the bad Nile. 1t was CRATE
full TO see Palestine, therefore, in its
greenness.'
As Grant was great general he, of
course, took deep interest in the ex-
animation of the battle field between
David and Goliah. Mr.. Young thus
describes it:
There were stones enough for the
striplings's sling, as we can we'll see.
The valley is deep, and the brook still
runs swift course. We could well
imagine the armies of the Jews on one
side of the valley and the armies of
the Philistines Oh the other. 1t was
the last ravine this side of the heights
of Jerusalem, and one of the strong
est natural defenses of the Holy CITY.
The entrance into Jerusalem is thus
sketched:
There was beauty in the scene to
be remembered in many dream. But
we were thinking of the valley below,
as scenes of events which have stirred
the souls of Christian men for centu-
ries, as the path OF conquering heroes
of Joshua and Dayid-ot Alexander
and spasian-of Godfrey aud SaIa-
din. And here we were coming with
banners and armed men, and at our
head, riding side by side with the Pa
sha's Turkish lieutenant, one whose
name will live with that of the great
est commander who ever preceded
him over this rocky way. The valley
passes away. We ride about a mile
through a suburb, the highway lined
with people. The general passes on
with barred head, fer on both sides the
assembled multitude do him honor.
We see through the mist mass of
domes and towers, and the heart beats
quickly, for we know they are the
domes and towers of Jerusalem.
There are ranks of soldiers drawn in
line, the soldiers presenting arms, the
band playing, the colors falling. We
passed a narrow gate, the gate that
Tancred forced with his crusaders"
