AN EXTRAORDINARY INVENTION. -
The latest scientific story is told thus:
The Saturday ReUielO once declared that
the greatest benefactor of the human race
would be he who could enable men to
drink an unlimited quantity of wine with
out getting drunk. Such a man has
been found. Dr.. Bell invented the tele-
pl one, but its wonders pale before the
telegas tograph. This is an electrical ma
chine by which the palate can be tickied
and pleased by any flavor. and for any
length of time, without fear of indiges-
ton or inebriety. By putting soup or
fish or wine into receptacle connection
with a powerful battery, the taste Of dant'
lest viands can he conveyed along a tele-
graph wire for miles, to an unlimited
number of bonvvants. They have only
to put the wire in their mouths and they
seem to be eating and drinking. They
may get drunk or overfed, but the mo-
ment the contract is broken the evil effects
pass off, and nothing remains but "a
delightful exhilaration ;" The inventor,
however keeps the modus opersndi per-
feet secret, aud wishes to perfect his dis
coyery before he discloses it to the world.

THE LARGEST TREE IN CALIFoRNIA.
Four years ago Prof. Knowles, geolo-
gis: found gigantic tree in the noun
tains of Fresno County, within twenty
miles of Mount Whitney, the apex of the
Serras, and three men spent nearly a
year in cutting out a section of it for ex-
hibition. They succeeded, and the por
ton removed by them is now in Stock
ton, on its way East. The Stockton IN
dependent has the following: 1.-The tree
was 240 feet high but must have been
much higher, rs in some storm hundreds
of years ago the top was broken off at the
hight Of 240 feet, were the body was %
feet in circumference at the base, which
is four feet greater than the largest tree
OF the Mariposa grove. Twelve feet from
the ground the circum ference was 70 feet
inches. The plan of getting out the
section was to erect a staging and chop
off the tree at hight OF 26 feet from the
ground. With axes they then gouged
out the stump to depth Of ii feet,
leaving only about SIX inches of wood
next the bark. Tho shell was then saw
ed vertically into sections of about three
or four feet in W idth, cut loose from the
stump and lowered to the ground with
block and tackle. The next difficulty
was to transport it to the railroad, and
for this purpose road was built some five
mill ct cost of $1,000. 1t required
eight four horse teams to haul it, one
piece being a good load. The entire cost
of getting it out was about $4,000. 1t
was packed in hay and arrived in good
order"
