NOT YET EXHAUSTED.

There is still world of good land
along the route of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, between Tacoma and Kalama,
unimproved. Besides extensive bodies
Of bottom lands, still uncleared, there
is Q great quantity of first-rate upland
that might easily be brough: into a
state Of tillage. The great wonder is
that land hunters should have for so
many years allowed the tempting spec
ulations that are presented in these
lands to 60 unimproved All through
the Counties of Lewis, Clark. Cowlitz,
Chehalis and Pacific, the rolling hill
and intervals are of good quality OF
soil, and there are great tracts Of it
that have been naturally cleared by fire
90 ss to be in a condition TO be got
ready for the pillow with no extraor-
binary outlay of labor. These lands
are of Q reddish loamy character, and
in appearance and fertility are like the
wheat lands of the Willamette Valley.
We would respectfully suggest to the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company
that it might prove paying venture
for it to take in hand the settlement OF
these lands. There is no institution on
whom it would SO naturally develve.
and none placed in so favorable posi-
ton for carrying out such work. The
advantage would be mutual alike to the
Company. the State and the individual.
Another class of lands i'll this same
district that invite little capital is the
extensive marshes, embracing lands of
the very richest character. easily cleared
ss soon as drained, inasmuch as the
brush is light. and in almost all cases
an outlet can be made 10y merely cut
ting gap through surrounding rim.
kind of lands that have never been
molested yet.
A third kind of investment of this
nature, that ought to be tried, is on the
immediate valley of the Columbia river
and the islands in its bosom. The
greater portion of these bottoms, though
rich as cream, remain untitled, or
only to slight extent. because subject
to overflow. This is especially the case
in the month of June. when the chief
food of the Columbia occurs, and the
very time when inundation is most
detrimental to agriculture. It looks as
though these lands ought to be dyked
in like those in the delta of the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin, IN California,
and of our own Skagit in Whatcom
county. 1t certainly would return
. good profit on the capital it would
take. Is an investment, and would i'm
prove the habitableness of those bot
toms on the score Of health.

THE MICROPHONE.

The marvellous combinations of scien-
tiic invention crowd so closely upon
each other of late that we can scarcely
keep pace in the mere record Of them
The latest wonder following OH the
heels of the telephone. the Scorpions
aud the phonograpb, is the micro
phone. This is device to magnify
sound. Its Office i, relation to sonnd
being the same as that of the micro
scope in relation to sight. An exchange
thus desrribes this instrument:
The apparatus is of the simplest char
scter. BY its means sounds so faint
that they have never been heard by
human ears, can be made Of any de.
gree of loudness. A feathers edge
brushed over the sounding board Of
this instrument. has been made to crash
upon the cars of the listeners. The
touch Of the tip of Q camel's hair brush
Was the occasion of cracking noise,
of which the intensity was almost
painful to the ear" The faintest whis-
per OF the human voice can be repro
duced in the loudest tones. The
maiden's sigh may roar like the catar-
act Of Niagara" Professor ID. L.
Hughes has given full account of the
microphone TO the Royal Society of
ondon, and described the steps by
which he was led TO the invention
The philosophy of the new invention is
more difficult to explain than is the
telephone itself. The discovery has
been made by Professor Hughes that
the vibrations of sound are reproduced
with the greatest delicscy and increased
force. by certain materials interposed
in an electric circuit. The reproduced
sounds gain their increase Of power.
doubtless. at the expense of the cur.
rent. After large number of expert.
ments, he gives the preference to carbon
for this purpose especially TO pieces
OF charcoal that have been heated to
whiteness, and then plunged into mer.
curry. These pieces, in one Of his ex-
periments he placed in glass tube,
and brought q pressure upon them that
squeezed their ends together. The ap-
paratus was made part of q closed
electric circuit of three small cups. A
Bell telephone was then introduced
into the circuit, and the whole thing
WAS complete. All that was necessary
to do was TO talk To the tube, even at
a respectable distance from it. and the
telephone repeated the sound at any
distance yet tried, with loudness
dependent only on the pressure in the
tube.
