The telephone is being extensively
introduced into England. A curious
fact is noticed in reference to the tele-
phone placed in the mills of Lord
Belper, near Derby, three miles apart.
A railroad passes between them, and
the telephone wire passes our feet
above the network of telegraph wires
beside it, yet in the mills a person ac-
quainted with the Morse system read
off from the telephone every message
which passes on these telegraph wires.
1t also seems unnecessary to use wire
exclusively to conduct the sounds of
the telephone. The other day a gen
tleman applied the apparatus to his
park palings, and talked around the
park with ease.
Mr.. James Burnell, of Pacheco. has
adopted for several year a method of
sowing wheat which has never been
described in the Patent Office. but
which we have heard had been prac-
ticed and advocated by some of our
farmers. He faStens a common sack
of seed in front of him. on horseback.
attaches his feet to guide reins and
uses o hands in throwing the grain
broadcast, right and left, in such
quantity as suits him. Being elevated
from the ground the seed obtain a
wide spread. He says he can sow 90
acres a day without much fatigue in
this way.-Pacyic Rural Advertiser.

DR.. Lowell, BROOKLYN. Y. Y. has de-
vlsed an effective process for presery-
ing bodies of the dead, which does away
with the use of ice and other cum
berous material, by simply opening an
artery of the arm and allowing four
or i've gallons of zinc chloride to flow
into the empty blood vessels.

A Big Gun.

A great gun was recently completed
by the South Boston Iron Company
which weighs fifty IONS and is the
largest piece of ordnance yet made this
side of the Atlantic. 1t IS intended to
throw a shot weighing $50 pounds, or
nearly as much as four barrels of flour.
The charge of power alone will weigh
40 pounds, and it is calculated that
the p%rojectile or ball will be thrown
with force enough to penetrate a n iron
plate fifteen inches thick at a distance
Of a mile and a half. This gun is to
go to Sandy Hook, in New York
harbOr.

It is not especially gratifying to observe
What Great Britain sends S99,O0O,0O0 worth OF
aner manufactures and other products to
#Spanish America, while we send only 500 O0O,-
R000 and that our imports are nearly three
Atimes the amount of our exports. An interest,"
ling fact, and one that should awaken atten-
RSion, is that our trade with the River Platte
country was only one-fifth that of England,
Whose exports to that section amounted to
8nearly S28, O00, 900, and the imports to about
Sbhe same. With the west coast of South
8America Great Britain carries on a trade ten
lines our own trade; and for the two dis
@Tlcts named, against her total trade Of about
u s125,000,O00, we have only S19000000. It is
with these two groups that our commerce is
particularly deficient, and with them our
8snerchants engaged in foreign trade should
Snake an Seffort to encourage commercial re-
Nations.
