A New Hearine NTacbine.

ProfessorJ. w. Graydon, Of this city, has for
some time been experimenting with a new in
vent1on called the aud1phone, which is intended
to Supplant the old ear trumpet for use by the
deaf. There has been an audiphone Invented
in Chicago, but Professor Graydon claims that
his Instruments agreat improvement upon that.
Graydon, consists OF a small electro micro
phone, to the centre of the diaphragm of which
is attached cord, which may be of any length,
and on the other end of which cord Is attached
small piece of wood. The manner Of working
the instrument Is very simple and can be briefly
described as follows: The deaf person takes a
firm hold OF the piece OF wood between his upper
and lower teeth, and the party desiring to con-
verse with the deaf man talks through the cleo
tro-micrOphone attachment at the other end
the cord, holding the cord taut. The theory
the nerves Of the teeth and the bones OF the
race to the auditory nerve, which, owing to
some detection of the ear caused by disease, is
not approachable through the usual channel,
thence to the brain. The instrument will only
work, however, when deafness has been caused
by disease. In case of paralysis OF the auditory
OF the audiphone were made at the deaf and
dumb department attached to the Third Inter-
mediate School yesterday morning.
Among others was one Of ht.looktng
colored girl, VINO was entirely deaf. The pro-
lessor talked to her at distance Of about rs
feet through the instrument, and she repeated
after him every thing which he said. Another
was little girl who had been deaf and dumb
from birth. Using the mute alphabet she in
formed the teacher in charge that she could
near that one statement OF the professor was
made In louder tone OF voice than another,
but that she could not understand what he
said, never having been able to hear such sounds
before. In some other cases, however, the pu-
pills upon whom the instrument was tried said
In their mute language that they were unable
to distinguish any sound whatever. 1t is fair
to presume that the instrument will, as have
the telephone and microphone, be greatly I'M
proved, and that at no distant day It will be Of
great service to those AFFLICTED by Deafness

Bob Rurdette's Farewell to Sum.
neF

The summer is past. The harvest is ended.
The vacation is over. The summer parties are
broken up, and the summer friends have gone
home. The ducks we shot are still flying
around, happy as the ducks We did not shoot.
The trout we caught are growing in weight and
size from day to day. The memories OF noun
tain and forest and sea linger to fill the coming
winter days with the grace OF summer sun
shine. No more the fond mosquito winds his mel
low horn; the black ant hauntS alone the long,
long deserted picnic grounds, no good man set
ties on his sand-Built nest. The grape smiles
out In rudy bloom where erSt the strawberry
Knocked the languid pocket book. The sound of
the agricultural horse trotn is heard In the
land, as the honest horse man wanderS from
fair to county fair, enters his horse In all the
races, under as many different names as there
are counties in the United States. Again the
agricultural associations are making enough
money on the gambling privilege to pay the
premiums on needle-work and sausage on the
hoof Gone is the salmon rod; gone is the book
OF the flies: gone is the internal economy of the
poeket-book; gone are several things. The
breezes LOT september sigh dreamily through
the rustling blades OF the ripened corn, and the
wide lecture field smiles with the promise of
harvest.

than it was year ago, and the increased re-
quirements for seed on the steadily expand
ing area planted in wheat the United
States, SO that on the whole we shall probably
not have as much wheat to sell out of the
crop of 1879, by at least 45,000,000 bushels,
as we were able to spare out of the crop of
1878.s There is also
METHOD EsTIn1ArINa
the growing crop according to popular opin-
ion now current throughout the country,
viz: The winter wheat crop of 1873 was
conceded to be yield per acre of ct least
10 per cent. above the average of several
previous years, while the present crop of
winter wheat is almost everywhere reported
to be thin upon the ground, and, while the
quality of the grain will be good, the yield
per acre will be at least 10 per cent. below
an average of the six or seven previous
years. This is the testimony of various
business men of Chicago who have recently
taken extended trips through the entire
winter-wheat region. The crop of winter
wheat is now about 70 per cent. of the en-
tire crop of wheat raised in the United
States. Seventy per cent. of last years
crop was 800 ,O00,O0 bushels of winter wheat.
and, if the yield of winter wheat is 25 per
cent. below last year, it would show de-
ficiency of 100000 bushels from the
same number of acres of winter wheat as
last year. This deficiency may be partly
made up by the increase of 1,227,736 acres,
which will produce. say, Is, 100000 bushels,
thus leaving the net deficiency 50,OO0,O00
bushels. But even this is upon the pre-
sumption that the total crop of spring wheat
will be as great as last year.
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1879-06-30

very few exceptions. The large area of
breaking done last year is all sown to wheat,
and the e. frequent rains have given it a start
that will carry it through to good crop. On
old ground grain is good for from twenty to
forty bushels per acre. Unless some unfore-
seen event obtrudes, our farmers will be COM
fortably fixed after harvest, which will come
on in about month.
iShakopee (Scott county, Argus June 26l
This week, from a conversation with a
careful, thoughtful and prudent farmer, we
learned that indications Of rust has appeared
upon the timber wheat of this portion of the
county. AS yet there is no need of serious
alarm. The rust has not become general nor
has it yet lnjurionsly affected those fields
which it has attacked. 1t is in the heavy
timber that rust first makes its appearance.
Heavy rains, together with cloudy, damp
cool weather, causes the grain to rust. So
far as we are able to ascertain, no indications
of this blight are apparent upon the prairie
lands.

nent or by way of Aspinwall and Panama,
where two transfers were necessary
the Atlantic steamships to the Panama rail
road, and from that road
to the Pacific steamships, or vice
versa. This was both tedious and expensive,
involving long delays in the transportation
of goods, and often heavy losses to shippers.
The interest in the canal has subsidized in
this country, however, since the completion
of the transcontinental railroads, which en-
ables citizens of the Atlantic to communicate
with citizens of the Pacific coast within the
limits of a single week. It is not nearly as
essential to our commerce now to have
canal across the isthmus as it was fourteen
years ago, but it is quite as essential to the
commerce of other countries as ever, and it
is not to be expected that they will abandon
the scheme even though the government of
United States has done SO.
The resolution of Senator Burnside is a
display Of the dog-in-the-manger spirit,
which we dislike to see manifested In Con-
gress. It is now generally conceded that this
government will do nothing in aid of the pro-
posed canal. We have one transcontinental
line of railroad, and in the course of five
years will have two more, which will be suf-
fcient for the needs of our trade for many
years to come. European nations have no
such facilities, nor can they have any in
prospect. The construction of ship canal
such as is projected would shorten the DIS
lance between Europe, the islands of the Pa
cifo and China and Japan very materially,
and permit the transportation of goods from
one ocean to the other without the losses in.
volved in breaking bulk. But after its con-
struction it would be open to Americans upon
the same terms as to Europeans, no matter
| who bears the expense of the work. Under
these circumstances Americans would still
have the advantage over Europeans by being
| nearer to the objective point, and in all trade
| where speed is an advantage would still have
the advantage. There is no likelihood thai
Americans would get the worst of the com.
petition for trade unless they proved them.

bushels - Instantly there was a general
hub-bub and confusion, but no sellers Then
again and again Mr.. Smith repeated his Of

that he meant business, and lis broker re-

The corner Yin June wheat lis becoming
very interesting. One firm, representing
Mr.. Keene, is said to control about 10000

is forcing the shorts on June contracts to
settle at abont s1.15, while they are selling
wheat. deliverable in July, at $1.O3 per

and Is cents here. The whole short inter
