The Pulse Wade TO speak.

At the last meeting of the Royal S.
ciety, De. Richardson demonstrated the
action of a new invention of his owa,
which he calls the spygmophone, ash
10y which he translates the movements
of the arterial pulse into loud teIepSoi.-
ic sounds. In this apparatus the ne.
die of Ponds spygmograph Is ma {,
to traverse metal carbon,plate whst Ia
10 connected with the zinc pole'of = L.
clanche cell. To the metal stem Of
the spygmograph is then attached one
terminal of the telephone, the other
terminal of the telephone being cou-
nected with the opposite pole OF dthe
battery. When tho whole is really. The
spygmograph is brought in-

phone, which sounds correspond with
the first, second and third events of
spygmographic reading. In fact, the
pulse talks telephonically, and SO loud

sounds can be heard by an audience oi
several hundred people. BY extend
ing the telephone wires the Sounds csH
also be conveyed long distances, so

The average yield nf wheat per acre
is 1-2 bushels in Russia, IL in the
United States, 12 1-2 in Austria, 16 1 Q

In the United States the average yield
might easily be doubled, but the cheap
ness of the land, the use of machinery,
and the cost Of feftiliz rs, makes it
cheaper 70 cultivate lager areas ratht r
than TO work for large averages.
