Among the Dead Failures

OF the past how many bogus nostrums

trumpets, blazoned for time in the

gated to the limbo of fittings lost on earth.

The Telephone Last Night.

Good Templars' Hall was
thronged last night to hear Lieut..
Reade lecture ON the Telephone.
The speaker prefaced his lecture by
clear and satisfactory disquisi-
ton on electricity, magnetism,
galvanism and the other mysteri-
Gus forces which have been made
to contribute to the convenience
and facilitate the intercourse of
mankind. He also dwelt, in this
connection, upon the transforma-
ton and convertibility of natural
forces. Having given an elaborate
explanation of the principles and
modus operandi of the telephone in
the HERALD, on the occasion of
Lieut.. Reade's former visit, it is
not necessary to again go into de-
tail. A wire had been strung from
Judge Sepulveda's office, in the
Court House to Good Templars'
Hall; and, through means of this,
the audience were initiated into
the familiar workings Of this re-
markable invention. The expert
ments were OF an entirely satisfac-
tory character, as were those con-
Quoted by Lieut.. Reade during the
day, prior to the lecture. Not only
the words spoken, but the individ-
ual tones of the several interlocu-
tors were easily distinguished.
Lieut.. Reade deserves the thanks
of the community for his public
spirited and nnremunerated efforts
to enlighten the people on this in.
teresting topic. He is now en-
route to Washington, having been
relieved from duty at San Diego, at
which point he has been stationed,
We believe, for three years past. In
addition to being scientist of no
mean pretensions, his frank and
social ways have won him hosts of
friends in Southern California.
