were built up about the murder of Mrs.
Hull, which, but for the Ignorance and
carelessness of the real perpesrator of the
deed, would probably have resulted in
the conviction and execution of the inno-
nocent old Doctor himself. Later the
mysterious shooting of Bishop Seymour's
brother-in-law has provided the police
department with a perfect bonanza for
theories, which they do not hesitate to
profit by. Their most recent explana-
ton was that Seymour was killed by the
accidental discharge of pistol from one
of the College windows, at the hand OF a
careless student. The youth in question,
however, explodes this hypothesis as he
did his pistol, and proves conclusively
that he fired nothing but blank car
tridges. So the meditative Metropolitan
sits down upon the curbstone, sucks his
thumb thoughtfully and once more
evolves from his inner consciousness.

lines, properly combines them, and de-
ivers them exactly as received. The
author at the sending end places his
pencil at the top of his sheet Of paper;
the weird pencil at the receiving sta
ton takes its position at correspond
ing spot upon its sheet of paper; the
author finishes line and returns to
commence new one; the receiving
pencil returns to commence its new
line, and when the sender finishes and
gives the final flourish to his signature,
the obedient receiving pencil passively
does the same, and waits for more in
fuences from abroad. When the
sender lifts his pencil from the paper,
and returns to cross q or dot an j, the
receiving pencil lifts, moves mysteri-
ously through the air, crosses its t,
etc., and goes on as the sender does.
This lifting of the pencil is effected
by means which have not yet been de-
scribed. The pencil at the receiving
office stands normally away from the
paper, but is held down to the paper
by an electromagnetic as long as a fifth
circuit is closed. This fifth circuit is
kept closed by the sender's pencil being
down. If the sender lifts his pencil
this circuit opens, the electro-magnet
loses its force, and the receiving pencil
lifts from the paper to return only
when the sending pencil does.
But single instrument is employed,
it being both a sender and receiver
and any number of them may be placed
in q single line. The normal condition
of the instrument is ''out of action
The usual signals are employed upor
any one of the circuits, and, upon 8
station being called, a response il
given, the sheet placed in position, thu
pencils placed in unison, and, the re
ceiving lever turned, the pencil begins
its magic journey. - Cincinnati En-.

An lncurable Habit,

Boston has introduced a novelty
which will fill want long felt. In
several depots in that city they have a
baggage mistress, if such term is
proper. It has been discovered that
trunk crushed to earth will rise again
in the shape of a suit. Several trunks
that have gone through q baggage
masters cyclone have turned on the
companies and exacted damages. This
is the secret of the introduction of
women as baggage-waltzers. Expert
ment has shown that it is impossible to
reform confirmed baggage-smasher.
He may swear off for few weeks, or
months even, but he is sure to return to
the vice worse than ever. He might be
ed, perhaps, if he were kept away
from the trunks and allowed to sober
off, as it were, on heavy freight; but
the sight of pile of trunks sets him
wild, and in spite of the efforts of his
friends he sinks in a few hours to the
lowest depths of baggage-smashing.
Of course it is easy for person, who
don't know what he is talking about, to
say that q man with any strength of
mind could quit the vile habit. Few of
us know the hilarious delight that
thrills through q baggage-smasher's
frame as he grasps the handle of nice
trunk that has never travelled before,
whilst in the air, shouts "Chicago,
3478," and lets the trunk come down
on its corner, knocking it into the
shape of breathless ACCORDION. Bag
gage-smashers have been known to
quit the business, hoping to reform;
and yet, before q week was over, they
would steal sheepishly into trunk
store and order half dozen delivered
in the back yard after dark. 1t is
needless to add that the night would
be spent in a wild revelry of flying
trunks. The air of the room would be
filled with aerial baggage enough to
knock . sober man down on entering
the room. 1.-THE old mans trunk
again." Thus it is that women are to
be the baggage jerkers of the future,
as it is expected they will handle the
trunks with care, either in the presence
or the absence of the passenjaire.-

NITROUS oxide, or laughing gas, as
it is commonly called. was discovered
to have the power of producing insen-
sibility by Sir Humphrey Davy. at the
end of the last century, and since that
time it has been widely used by dent
lists and chiropodists in the painful
operations of extracting teeth or
corns. The process consists in causing
the patient to breathe the pure gas
until he becomes insensible. Nitrous
oxide is not SO dangerous as chloro-
form, nor 80 exhausting to the system.
Chloroform associates itself chemically
with the body, but the gas merely re-
mains dissolved in the blood, and when
it is no longer inhaled it il quickly
breathed out again by the lungs. But
there is one serious drawback to its
use-namely, the fact that its applica.
ton cannot be prolonged for fear OF
asphyxia or fainting being incurred.
Now, however, this defect has been
overcome by q French psychologist, NJ.
Bert, and insensibility induced by its
means can be indefinitely extended.
The patient is caused to breathe, not
pure nitrous oxide, but mixture of
equal parts of nitrous oxide and air,
under . pressure of two atmospheres.
By this devise the normal quantity of
air il supplied to the patient - well as
the requisite dose Of gas. The results
obtained from experiments on dogs
show that the breathing and circulation
goes on normally while the animal is
rendered quite insensible by this
method, and on Withdrawing the gas it
RECEIVERS all its faculties after few
breaths. This is an important discov-
cry, but it has the practical failing of.
at present at least, requiring special
chamber to be constructed for the
oper alton. In the case OF hospitals,
however, this will not be difficult to
obtain. C0sselrs N0gazine.

A LEADING iron manufacturer in the
Shenango Valley concludes that we are
on the eve of a great Improvement in
business prospects, and he would not
be surprised if, before the close of the
year 1879, every idle man in that Sec
ton OF the country would be fully en-
ployed at fair wages.
Hon. JAMES WILSON says: In de-
pressed times like these farmers must
strive to have some profit from what
ever they do. We arc paying too high
wages, too much taxes, too high
freights, too high salaries, building too
many public buildings and bridges. A
halt in both public and private expend-
itures must be called; the outlay OK
ceeds the income of many men.
The density obtained by ordinary
hay presses having proved insufficient
for the purposes of the English Gov
eminent, something more effective has
been devised. In the tests made, it
was found that, with this new machin-
cry, which is worked by hydraulic
power. three ordinary trusses of hay
can readily be compressed into q some
what smaller bulk than that of one
single truss in the space of only three
fourths of minute. The pressure ap-
piled amounted to no less than three
tons on the square inch, and, SO power
full is the plant, that as many as six
trusses can be compressed into the
compass of one, and, moreover, the
machinery is capable of turning out
800 tons of compressed hay per week,
or double that amount if working day
and night. 1888
AN accident in match factory, in
which q girls clothing took fire, lately
induced M. Sieborath, of Dresden, to
experiment upon processes for render
ing woven fabrics incombustible. Sat-
uration with 5 or 10 per cent. alum
solution gave no good results, the
stuffs burning with q dame after the
impregnation, and which, moreover,
spoiled their appearance; ON the other
hand, per cent solution of phos-
plate of ammonia proved quite sue
cessful-the impregnated clothes did
not burn with flame, but we're
merely destroyed by carbonization.
Lastly, solution containing 5 per
cent alum and 5 per cent. phosphate
of ammonia was tried on linen and
wooden stuffs; the fabrics thus treated
did not even burn when they had pre-
viously been vigorously rubbed with
gunpowder. The powder flashed, but
left the stuff unconsumed. The clothes
lose their incombustibility by getting
wet or being washed, and it is a disad-
vantage that they can be worn only in
certain places, and that after washing
a fresh impregnation is required.-M.
