A PluckY Student.

AT the commencement of the present
term of the Medical College, a student
from the west started for Keokuk to at
tend. Arriving at Abba he found his
means would not be sufficient, and he
walk the rest of the way to this city.
He paid in full for his tuition. and then
had just 81 left. Three of these were
laid out for quarter rent for room,
in which was nothing but his books.
No stove, no furniture, no bed, not
even blanket, and 81 to live on. In
a month or so he procured blanket,
and considered himself fortunate. His
money was used to buy corn-meal, and
twice week he would go down by the
pork-houses and make up lot of corn
bread, bake it, and bring it to his room,
and on corn-bread alone he has been
subsisting during the entire term. He
has earned S. since he has been here,
and on this and the 81 he had left, after
paying his college fees, $l2 in all, he
has subsisted. During all this time no
one has known how he lived, and the
only remarkable thing that has been
noticed about him is, that he is one of
the brightest students in the class, and
bids fair to graduate with the highest
honors. His condition would not have
been found out had it not been that a
gentleman rented room in the same
building, and, by making his acquaint-
ance, ascertained how he had been
living.
The student is a bright, frank, fear
less fellow, who asks no favors, has
paid in advance for everything he has
got, is not afraid of difficulties, and if
he proves not bright and shining
light in his professional he is not
heard from as an eminent physician
and surgeon, ere many years rolls
around, we lose our guess.--Keokuk

ions of salmon of superior size and
quality press up the inlet and the rivers
that are tributary to it; halibut and cod
fish are very abundant, and it is safe to
say that there is no district of country
on the whole Pacific coast which offers
so many advantages for the profitable
establishment of fish-canning and fish
curing works. With comparatively
moderate investment of capital, ex-
ports of fish to the value of several mill
ions of dollars annually may be sent
from Cooks Inlet, which would pay A
large profit to the owners of the
works and would support many thou
sand fishermen, laborers and me-
chanics. Nothing but the power of
monopoly has hindered Alaska's
growth thus far. The Chronicle man
says that the fur company who
run the territory has urged the with
drawal of the mail steamer between
this place and Portland, and wants the
mails carried by revenue cutter "at in
tervals of two or three months" AS
no passenger is permitted to travel on
a revenue vessel without a special per-
NIT from the Treasury Department at
Washington, this proposal simply
means non-intercourse between Alaska
and the States, so far as the passenger
travel is concerned, with mails at ir-
regular intervals of several months -
an arrangement which would suit the
views of the company, and check the
settlement and development of the
territory. This scheme has fortunate
ly failed. The Postmaster-General has
entered into new mail contract with
the owners of the California for three
years from the LIST of July, and that ex-
cellent and comfortable steamer is to
be kept upon the route. Before the ex-
piration of her new contract Alaska
will have a population of 5000 or 4 900
citizens from the States with a delegate
in Congress to lock after the interests
of the territory. Friends of the fur
company plausibly assert that their
patrons have no interest in decrying
Sitka, inasmuch as they have no sta
tons and no trade in that part of the
territory; but the astute managers of
the company know very well that if
1000 or 1000 enterprising Californians
come here many of them will soon find
their way further west and GUST the
company from its control over the
Kodiak district"

Are Monograph Records Legible !?

THOMAS A. EDISON, the inventor, re-
Gently gave to reporter an account of
some attempts which have been made
to read the photograph records. 1t
had been a question of serious consid-
Grafton with him, Mr.. Edison said,
whether the lamentations in the tin foil
could be read with the eye. Want of
time had kept him from making extern
sive experiments, but he was of the
opinion that careful study would ena-
BILE experts to decipher the phonetic
characters. Professors Fleming Jenkin
and NJ. Ewing, of the University of
Glasgow, Scotland, had spent much
time, he said, in examining the phono-
graph records, and had been partially
successful in their attempts to read
them. The method employed by the
professors was to repeat each of the
vowel and consonant sounds number
of times, and then examine the record
to determine if the indentations had
any regular or characteristic shapes
which would serve to identify the
sounds. The result showed that the
record of any single sound repeated was
very irregular-one series of indenta-
tions differing widely from another. 1t
was claimed, however, that despite this
irregularity the record of any one sound
could be distinguished from that of an
other sound.
Mr.. Edison said that he had repeated
some of the experiments made by Pro-
fessors Jenkin and Ewing. Knowing
beforehand what sounds had produced
the records, he said he could tell the
sounds by the indentations, and also
count the number of times a sound had
been repeated. He found it impossible,
however, to recognize similar sounds
which had been repeated to the phono-
graph by another person. The shapes
of the indentations were found by ex-
pertinent to differ for the same sound,
according to the speed with which the
cylinder of the photograph was turned,
the force with which the sound was ut
tered. and the distance of the mouth
from the diaphragm. Even by placing
his hand against his cheek while re-
peating the sound, Mr.. Edison said, he
could change the shape of the phonetic
characters. Between the records of
vowel sounds very little difference
could be detected. For some vowels
the indentations were deeper at one end
than at the other-giving to the char
acters the shape of eggs, pears and In
dian clubs. This is usually the case
with the vowel E. The deepest inden-
tations are made by consonant sounds,
on account of the explosive force with
which these sounds are uttered. Words
beginning with P can be recognized
more easily than any others, by the
deep indentations which begin the rec
ords. One difficulty in recognizing
records of words is found in the length
of these records.

THE ROSE OF EDEN.

FAIR Eve knelt close by the guarded gate in the
glow of the Eastern spring,
She saw the flash of the angels sword and the
sheen of the angels wing;
She thought, as she held her sobbing breath, she
could hear the happy sighs
Of the tiny rivulets that fed the moses of Para
disc;
She knew how the birds were futtering among
the clustered flowers
And gorgeous blooms and arching trees that
Swallowed Eden's bowers,
And she cried aloud in an agony of wild, re-
Give me one bud, but one, but one, from the
thousands that blossom there"
grave, angelic grace,
And he looked with wistful tenderness on the
beautiful woman's face;
And because it was so beautiful and because she
could not see
How fair were the pure white cyclamen, crushed
dying at her knee;
And because he knew this punishment through
the weary years must burn,
That through all things sweet and good on earth
her heart would for Eden yearn.
He gathered rich, red rose, that grew where the
four great rivers met.
And flung it to the frail fatal hands that clasped
imploring yet
And though for. many cycle past that rose in
dust has lain,
With her who bore it on her breast, when she
passed from life and pain,
There is never daughter of Eve but once ere
the tale of her days is done,
She will know the scent of the Eden rose just
once, beneath the sun!
And whatever else she may win or lose, endure,
or do, or dare,
She will never forget the enchantment 1t gave to
the common air;
For the world may give her content or joy, fame
sorrow or sacrifice,
But the hour that brought the scent of the rose
An the Year Round.
