4 E,tn{erfuL Lnstrument.

THE organ which Mrs. A. T. Stewart is having built for the Stewart Ca thedral at Garden City, L. I. is in sev- eral respects one of the mott remark able instruments in the world. twill be placed in four different parts of the building, the organist sitting at key board in the chancel and playing al four parts at once by means of cleo trical connections. There is also an echo organ in the roof which can bC played from the chancel, and tho chimes of bells in the tower will al
 ines lend its aid to the organ Tn the same way. In spite of the necessarily complicated nature Of the mechanism the adjustment of all parts is sJ per feet that no greater pressure is needed upon the keys than in playing the pi ano. The organ will have some 12o speaking stops, which are thirty siH more than in the great organ in BOs- ton Music Hall and nine more than in the huge instrument in Albert Hall London. z i've hydraulic engines will run the organ and the cost of the in strument will be some S40,0G0.

4 System for MInlnQ Records.

WE now come to class of evils Iu- herited from the earlier (and, to some extend, still continuing local customs In my official reports, particularly the first, transmitted to Congress in 1869, to which for brevity's sake beg to refer without further citation, I have discussed at some length the ab. surdity of permitting the title of min eral lands to rest upon the shifting and untrustwOrthy basis of an irreg- ular periodical ple5iscite, the edicts of which are carried out by irresponsible officials, and the records of which of ten may be and often have been expos ed without efficient guardianship to loss, destruction, mutilatiOn or falsifi
 cation. It has repeatedly happened that the disputed possessory title to valuable mining property has turned upon the memory or honesty of con- tradictOry witnesses, concerning re- cords which could not be found, land marks which had disappeared, " GUS toms" which had repeatedly been amended, repealed and forgotten, and acts performed pursuant to or in viola tion of such customs by persons who had long since left the district or world. Even if all mining recorders were sworn officials; if all their records were properly kept and guarded; if the local regulations were carefully preserved for reference. there would still be great confusi n arising from the lack of uniformity in the methods of acquiring and maintaining title. Something has been done as l shall hereafter show to remove the evils in- herited from the miners customs" What remains to be done is, tO abolish altogether the irregular and whimsical subdivisions known as miDing dis tricts," with all their officers and to make all mining titles on the public lands originate in entries duly attested ard preserved in duplicate or tripli- cate by the regular officers of the United States Once, this would have been difficult and expensive; but l think the time has come when it can be thoroughly done, and will meet with the approval of the mining con- munities themselves.-[J. W. Ray mond to Public Lands Commission.

The Au6Iphone.

There are inventions that are won derful, and which fill us with admin a. tion, and there are others which bring immediate blessing to the afflicted, and seem to be gains for humanity All inventions, in certain sense, seem to work miracles; but what tendereI or more beneficial miracle can there be than making the blind to see, and the deaf 10 hear, and the dumb to speakg There has been nothing more interesting in recent announcements than the account of the AudiphOne, which was shown to some gentlemen in New York a week or two since by MT. Richard :. Rhodes, of Chicago Mir. Rhodes has been deaf for twenty wears, and has tried every form of ear trumpet without avail. But he had observed that when holding his watch between hls teeth he heard the ticking distinctly, and it occurred 10 him that speech could be heard by the same means.
 After experimenting for some time, he invented the audiphone, which re sembles an ordinary Japanees fan, with the corners rounded and made of vulcanized rubber. The flexible fan part is adjusted in a semi-cylinderical shape by cords held in place by a wedge in the handle, The audiphone is pressed against the eye teeth. A class of seven deaf mutes from the Washington Heights Asylum were the subjects of most interesting expira- ments. One girl, born deaf, had never heard the sound of her own voice. She was given a double audiphnne and endeavored to make a sound. IL was some time before she succeeded, and Ihen there came a wailing sound, cur iously cOntrasted in expression with her bright and eager face, and she was full of emotion at the first hearing of her own voice. The mutes were made to hear singing also; but of course all sound is meaningless To them at pres ent
 Classes will be formed at once and the audiphone will be thoroughly tested. IL holds out promise to the deaf which, by the experiments al ready made, is SO beneiicient that pro- gress and development Of its use will be of the greatest interest-IEx.
