A New Invention.

One of the ingenious compositors on THF
TIMES has just contrived q most remarkable
and useful instrument, patent applied for
which he calls the Electric Beuncer, I" and
with his consent We give a short diagnosis
OF the machine. The bottom of an ordinary
chair forms the basis or foundation OF the
"bouncer," in the centre of which is bored
} two small gimlet holes, oue-half an inch
apart, through which is passed q cotton or
Irvine string, at the end Of which is attached
machine needle, about an inch In length,
and lowered so that the sharp point comes
level with the seat OF the chair. The string is
then carried of to any desirable distance and
left standing until some one comes in who
has more time TO spare than he knows what
TO do with and takes a seat in this chair.
The string is then given a quick jerk, the
needle PUSHES through the cavity In tbs chair
and the gentleman of leisure bounces out
quicker than lightning. The 'bouncer"
works like a charm, and can be seen in
active operation in the composing room OF
this Office any day.

| The matter of the feasibility OF the tele-
phone as "A ire-alarm was pretty generally
discussed yesterday, and the general opinion
seemed to be that something of the kind was
needed. The members of the fire department
are in favor of anything which will enable
them to get 10 the scene OF action as soon
possible, whether il be a telephone, tsle-
graph, song or whistle-just so they can get
at the fire before everything is destroyed is
all they ask. That there Is necessity for
something OF the kind Is most painfully ap-
parent. Whether we will get 1t or not is
another ching.
The present method of announcing fires,
waiting until some philanthropic
individual walkS down to the engine house
to notify the Waterman, or until time
elapses sufficient to permit the hSaze to be
seen from the fire station, is too slow, and has
caused, heretofore, the loss of thousands OF
dollars in the past, and will be the cause of
the loss of thousands of dollars in the future.
II the telephone isn't the thing, try some
thing else, but let us have something, what
ever 1t may be.
