TIE AUDIPHONE.

An exchange contains the following details
which ii carried out to the fullest extent will
prove of great benefit to those effected with
deafness and consequent dumbness:
At the Indiana institute 70. deaf mutes at
Indianapolis, there took place recently most
interesting experiment. This was a test of
the nsw audiplon5, conveying sounds to the
auditory nerve through this medium of the
teeth A c.aSs Of gIrls from twelve to
eighteen years old were provided with audi
phones, aud cabinet organ was brought In
use for the list tune iii the history 0f the in
stltutlOn. SrghI girl of ten Or twelve
years was the first to whom the test was APP
piled. She had not heard her own voice or
distinguished any sound for a number o.
years, says the journal, and was regarded as
stone deaf and speechless. She had not
listened more than inmate when her
features frightened up with smile that
told the whole story. Several other children
listened with like result, all being able to
distinguish some sound, and most of them fol-
lowing the different sounds of the scale.
Several deaf mutes also noticed The difference
between letters of the alphabet OAly one,
an adult whose auditory nerves seemed to be
quite destroyed, failed to hear at all. A
young lady who had not uttered an intelh-
gible word since she quite young, was
induced to speak She had been listening
with the aid of the auliphone, to others talk
ing, but when asked to say something herself
was v,ry reluctant Eventually, however,
she WAS induced to make the effort, aud,
although she spoke quite low, being nervous
and afraid to talk loud she heard her own
voice distinctly. Tue joy which the young lady
felt at this discovery can be i'm sginsd better
than it can be described. Richard S. Rhodes,
the invs ltor, was present to superinte nd the
test

BOGUS BONES.

There is now scarcely any doubt of the fact
that the bones recently discovered near
Bodie and reinforced as the remains of the
original locator of the district, were the rem
nents Of some other person than Bodey.. Ii
seems real pity that SO much fuss should
have been made over the wrong man. The
cynically disposed will be apt to assert that
the corpse which succeeded in ringing in on
the unsuspecting Bodieites and beating them
ont of a celebration, was in all respects un-
worthy Of the honor It will be held that he
was some miserable, drunken, claim sailing
scallavag who cheated his brother miners by
day and robbed them on the highway by night.
man who gamblsd with marked cards, deal
brace faro and was in all respects disgrace to
the golden land which furnished him a sub
sistence. There are those who will be mean
enough to assert that he was dsngled in air by
a vigilance committee, and planted in the
woods without the benefit of friendly tear
or churchy ritual. Taking such view of
the matter, the parties who m sde speeches,
wrote eulogies and composed poems in honor
OF the ossi6cations of the accepted Bodey, will
review their participation in the ceremonies
with feelings akin to the preacher who dehv-
cred discourse over defunct priza-fghter
under the superstition ;hat he was departed
pillar of morality. Already men have begun
to revile the dust of the dead and hold the
unidentified remains responsible for the
stupidity of the persons who resurrected
them This is taking a mean advantage of a
corpse impos,bl, in any other locality that we
know Of The more charitable way to con-
template the collections of ribs and thigh
bones at present in possession of the Bodey
burial committee, would be to consider that
perhaps they constituted the frame work of a
man who in the living flesh was equally as
good a fellow as old Bill Bodey himself.
Some adventurous and indomitable prospector
who penetrated the Businesses of the wilder
ness, battled with the grizzlies and braved
the Winter storms of the Sierras, years be-
fore Bodey ever dreamed Of the place. A
man who was in that country at such a time
must have possessed the pluck and endurance
worthy of Pioneer of early days; one
who grasped the idea that he had discovered
q country of boundless resources and that
there was argentiferous wealth in the rocks
about him, on which coming generations could
thrive. Perhaps when he laid himself down
to die and the lowering landscape swan
in the air about him. his prophetic vision |
saw the busy, teemng city which in the past |
few years has sprung into so marvellous an
existence, and his soul passed away content, |
The bones of any man, who died in Mono
county, California, twenty years ago, are |
worthy fitting relnterment coupled with al!

to bring large and varied stocks Of
goods to the place by purchasing from
Them whatever is necdei Pa'ronize
your home newspapers. not only direct
ly but indirectly. by dealing with those
who patronize them. IF it is necessary
to deal away from home buy from these
who advertise in your home papers, for
by so doing you lend assistance to a

What a marked difference there Is
in the growth Of towns whore tho above
principle and practice is fully extant
| from those towns where It's citizens are
50 jealous Of each other that they pre-.
| fer to send off 10 foreign towns to pnr
chase their goods rather than purchase
from a townsman whom they do not
fancy. Men must make some personal
sacrifices for the building up of their
own locality. II is not the part If a
good citizen to be continually harping
about the faults Of the people among
whom he lives and does busin IS. It is
not good policy to- send TO New York
and Boston aud other citizens Of the
East to purchase your Household ictas
because You can get then little cheap
or than at home Buy what you need
and what you can get at home, and
thus invite competition in the trade VI
your town. and by this mr. ans the town
will grow and traders will ba able .c
sell cheaper. Take your home news
paper, advertise in it and do all ynt
can to enable the publisher to incrcns'
his facilities for making his paper al
good az any in the country. A gont
journal published in town does Il
much as any enterprise that is carried
