The Ring Trick.

4 curious incident in connection
with a ring occurred ut Moscow during
the reign of the Empress Catherine the
Second. 4 rich nobleman, collector
of precious stones. met in company 4
stranger, who wore on his finger ring
of great value and beauty. After a
conversation rs to its worth, the noble
man offered him 4 considerable sum for
it, which the stranger at first refused,
not wishing to part with it. At length
70 evade the repeated opportunities OF
the nobleman, lie declared he would
not sell it, as the stones were not gen
uinc. Tins declaration filled all the
company with amaZement. The noble
man desired to have the ring for few
days, giving security for il. and then
showed it TO several jewellers, who de-
cla-ed the stones to be genuine. and of
great value. lie brought back the ring
to its owner, who put 1t with great in-
difference into his waistcoat pocket.
The negotiations began afrcsh, and the
nObleman offered a sum which was near
its value. The ring" observed the
stranger, ''is Il token of friendship,
but | am not rich enough to reject so
large a sum As you offer for it, Yet this
high offer is the very reason for my not
complying. How can yOu offer So much
money for ring which the owner
himself cOnfcsses to be made up of false
slones?' The nob!cman replied: "Il
your determination depends only on
that, take at once the sum, and | call
upon the gentlemen here present to
witness that voluntarily pay it. The
stranger took the money and gave the
noblcman the ring, repeating the de-
claration that the stones were false and
IL was still time to make the purchase
void. The ring was afterwards found
out to be as the seller stated. 4 false
ring had been made exactly similar to
the genuine one. The affair was
brought before a court of law, but rs
the seller proved that during the whole
business there was no question at all
about genuine stones, and that the pur-
chaser mad expressly treated for ring
which he was told was false, a iudg-
ment was pronounced in his favor.

a natural curiosity visited by the commits

they came upon large tract of quaking
bog land. Running in a northwest and
southwest direction was line of mounds
from sIX to three hundred feet in diameter
at the base, and from fifteen TO thirty feet
high, Of a conical form, the slope being
about forty-five degrees. These mounds
are shaking bog to the SUBMITS, where
was found circular opening six to eight
feet in diameter, filed with clear, cold

making this well-knOwn and valuable
form of Noltait battery: Select a small
round earihenware jar, such as is used
for keeping preserves, and having lined
the bottom with gutta-percha. or some
suitable cement, TO the depth of inch,
fix upright in this 4 rod of zinc, of
equal height with the jar, TO which a
length Of copper wirs has been attach
Ell by passing it through hole drilled
liz the upper part OF the zine rod, or hy
soldering. Make 4 cylinder of pipe
clay, or other porous clay, larger than
the zine rod. and having dried it, make
it hot in the fire ny degrees, till il at
tains red heat. Let this cylinder cool
gently, and wien cold, place it in the
Jar round the centre rod. encircling it
at a little distance. By moderately
heating the end of the cylinder, il will,
when placed on the gutta-percha, make
a groove which will fix the tube, and
prevent infiltration of the fluids. Line
the inside OF the jar with plate OF thin
copper bent into cylindrical form and
having a few holes punched in 1t,
through which may be threaded the
extremity of another length of copper
wire. o. the top of this cylinder place
a Hat ring of copper pierced with holes,
and nearly, but not quite, touching the
porous cylinder. This forms the bat
terry. To charge it, a saturated solution
of sulphate OF copper Is poured between
the copper and TIE clay tube, and some
CRYSTALS of the same salt are piaced upon
the perforated ring 80 As just to be in
contact with the ISOLATION. The zine
compartment is then 10 be filled with 4
solution Of sulphate of zinc, sal-ammo-
mac. or common salt.

One of the most remarkable invention of
tb,s or of any other age is based upon the
electrical proprietIes Of the fur OF CATS
With battery of 12S cats the lnvenlor
succeeded in generating a current SO strong
hat it instantly polarized all llghtnlng-ar-
rosters and denagnetized all switch-boards
on the way TO Omaha. The operators all
along the line were terror strickenandrush-
ed from their Offices Eighteen hundred
and nine glass insulators were broken ana
as many poles shattered, as itby Tightening.
A great deal more damage would doubtless
have resulted if the copper rod over which
the battery was suspended had not sudden
ly become red hot and burned the tails OIL
the cats and let them drop. When only
moderately strong current Of electricity IS
desired, it is obtained by densely populat-
inc the small floor of the cage, which IS
made of sheet copper, that being the best
conductor. The electricity thus generated
charges the copper floor of the cage, and as
the electricity cannot pass of tothe ground
through the glass insulatOrs, it seeks exit
over the wires that are connectedby solder
inr to each end of the copper plate. For
generating powerful current, the cats are
carefully and securely tied tail to tail in
pairs, and by the loop thus formed they are
suspended from heavy insulated copper
rod that passes longitudinally through the
cage, to the ends of which are attached the
telegraph or telephone-lines.

SCIENTIFIC.

The AudiOmeter.-At the last meeting
Of the Royal Society, DIR. Richardson
demonstrated the action of new in
strument which he had named the au-
dImeter, or audiometer, and which has
lust been invented by Prof. Hughes,
the discoverer of the microphOne. The
audiometer is used as precise meas
urer of the sense of hearing. 1t is form
ed of small battery of one or two Le-
clanche cells, new microphonlc Key,
two fixed primary coils, graduated
| insulated bar, TO which at each end one
of the fixed coils is attached, second
arv induction coil which moves along
the graduated bar, and telephone, ter
minal which are connected with the Ter
minals of the induction coil. The prin-
| cipal of the audiometer is based on the
physical fact when the battery is in ac-
tiOn and a current is passing thron h
the two primary coils, the secondary
! coil on the bar becomes charged, by III
duction, whenever it is brought near
| to either of the primary coils but
when 1t is brought to the precise CEN
ire between the primary coils there is
| a neutral point of electrical balance,
where the electric phenomena from ill.,
duction ceases to he manifested. by
placing a microphonic key between the
battery and one OF the primary coils,
! and By attaching the terminals OF the
| induction coil TO the telephone, Prof.
| Hughes was able to make the telephone
sounds whenever he brought the in
duction coil near to one of the primary
coils and moved the microphonic key so
as to make it play on fine needle sus-
| pended in the circuit. When the in-
duction coil is close TO one of the prlm-
arv coils the noise is very loud, but as
. the coil is moved towards the centre OF
the bar the noise diminishes, until it
ceases at the centre altogether. The
scale on the bar is graduated into 200
degrees. representing units of SQUADS
/ from 200 to o or zero. At 200 all who
can hear the vibration of the drum in
the telephone. At o no one can hear,
while between the two points there are
200 gradations of sound, from the high
/ est down 10 zero. In using the lnstru-
ment the telephone is put TO the ear oi
the listener while the operator moves
the micrOphOnic key, and at the same
time shifts the induction coil on the
graduated bar so rs TO measure the
hearing power OF the person unuer eA
animation. Dr. Richardson presented
a prelinery report 10 the Royal Society
on his first experiments with the audi
ometer. and showed that already, by
its means. some useful and practical, as
well as curious, facts had been obtained.
Among many OF these was one relating
to an inquiry as to the best material for
making artificial tympanumS, and the
best form of artificial tympanums for
cases Of defective hearing from perfor-
alton or destruction oftne natural drum.
He had found gold. made into the form
OF little cups or capsules, exceedingly
effective for This purpose. The audiom-
eter promises to become one of those
useful adiuncts TO practice of which we
shall say ultimately, " How did we gel
on before il was known"
