he confdentially informed that his friond was
arrested on q charge of embczzlement. Both

A new invention called the audiphone
has recently been perfected. 1t is sim
ple affair, consisting of a fun of vulcan
lied rubber, slightly bent and he'd in
tension by silken cord, and placed in
contact with the upper teeth. The thin
rubber fan receives the vibrations and
conveys them through the teeth: Hon.
Joseph Mcdill, of the Chicago Tribune,
S. VS. of the invention in recent number
of that paper: "1t is known that the
editor of this paper has been deaf for a
number of years, and that during that
time he has used all the devices for inn
proving his hearing that he could hear
of or that were brought to him. None OF
them were however. satisfactory. He
has tried the audiphone for some weeks.
and finds that it not only improves his
hearing, but restores the sense ofhearing
to him. Not merely does it answer when
engaged in conversation with a person
who is foot, or few feet from him,
but it answers perfectly at a concert.
Each note of the musician and each tone
of the singer come rs clearly and dis
tinctly as they did before the sense OF
hearing was impaired. Others have also
tested this instrument. and have ex-
pressed themselves satisfied with its

Water and Disease.

A book has recently appeared in Leip-
sic in which the author. Professor jaeger,
maintains that an increased proportion
of water in the tissues and hum IS of
the body is one of the most essential
conditions of liability to disease. We
guard against disease if we attend to
making the body yield rs much water as
possible through skin and lungs. and
avoid all that favors the accumulation
of water. Jager recommends: /.
Wearing close-ftting woolen clothing
throughout the year. Q. From time to
time engaging in bodily movements
which promote perspiration, on which
account he regards vigorous gymnastic
exercises in schools as an important
preventive of disease among children
3. On an outbreak of disease, the use
of vapor or sweating baths, of drinks
that excite perspiration (tea, coffee,
etc. }, and of food that does the same
(strongly seasoned, especially with
Spanish pepper). 4. Constant yentila-
tion OF sitting and bedrooms, so that the
moisture of the air may not become
great. The author holds that the spe-
ci6c gravity of living body is an ac-
curate criterion for the strength of COR
stitution of man or domestic animal ,
/. e., for its capability of resistance to
causes of disease (chil1s. infection, etc.,.
and its power of work, bodily and mental
