Capt. James B. Eads, of ietty fame, who
sailed from New York for Europe last Satur-
day, will be absent several months. He has
kind and another, on hand. He will visit
London and Paris, in the first place, with ref
erence to the Panama canal, after which he
will proceed to Hungary, in connection with
some engineering he has been engaged to do
to repair the damage caused there BY the dis
astrous overflow Of the Thesis last winter.
He will then go, to Egypt, for the purpose of
taking observations at the Suez canal Apart
from business OF this scientific and engineer
Ing kind, 1t Is also understood that he is com
missioned BY the Mississippi Valley Associa-
ton to do what he can In England and on the
continent, more especially at Antwerp, Bre-
men and Rotterdam, to stimulate direct trade
with New Orleans and st. Louis, by showing
the immense advantage OF the ietties to ship
ping, and the cheapness of the Mississippi
route for the Western grain trade. All this
will keep him pretty busy.

How the Deaf Can Hear.
d IN. ". Tribunal ~


The deaf can hear BY means Of their teeth
The audiphOne, an instrument invented by a
western Yankee for alleviating the misery of
deafness. Is simply sheet Of vulcanized rub
per, about l-22 OF an inch in thickness, set
firmly In handle of the same material. In
the upper rim Of this sheet are pierced some
holes through which passes a silken cord,
Ihls goes down on the inner side Of the sheet.
70 the handle, through a slot In which it
passes. BY pulling this cord the sheet Is
desire: Each person has to ascertain for him
self what kind of curve OF the rubber sheet
will enable him to hear best Generally it is
very siight-only about ten or twelve de-
greeEthough apparently the deafer the per-
son the greater the curve must be- When used.
the person holding 1t simply touches the upper
edge OF the fan, or audiphone, against the teeth
Of the upper jaw. The voice of the speaker
strikes upon this tense sheet Of rubber and
communicates to it vibrations which are in
turn Impaired to the teeth, and then pass to
the auditory nerve. With this operation the
outer ear has nothing whatever to do, the
delete machinery through which sound
passing from without makes an impression
upon the auditory nerve Is not used at all.
The outer ear may be stopped up entirely, SO
far as it Is possible to do it, and vet one hears
distinctly the moment the audiphone Is ap-
piled to the teeth. Tt is necessary to use the
they are more nearly In contact with the au-
dltOry nerve; nor does 1t make much differ
ence whether the teeth be ones own or artl-
ticial, SO long as those artificial teeth are
lightly lifted; for when that is the case the
vibration is impaired about as well as when
they are natural teeth. The inventor is deaf
himself. He happened one day to hold a
watch between his teeth, and noticed that he
could distinctly hear its ticking, though
when he held it to his ear no sound was audi
ble This set him to thinking that possibly
he might be able to invent some device by
which the sound of the human voice could ba
transmitted to the auditory nerve through
me medium Of tube, just as the ticking Of
the watch had been.

POLICE JUDGE AND PROSECUTOR,

A Row About the Issuing Of Attachments.
When the case of the State against Chas.
Bergman, charged with cutting John Rit-
ter, was called in the Police Court this
morning, one of the witnesses for the State
failed to answer. .f.
The Prosecuting Attorney asked that an
attachment be issued for him forthwith.
"By the way, what became of that attach
ment issued yesterday for a witness in the
Williams case?" asked tae Prosecutor of the
Judge. 'Why, after Court adjourned the
witness came and gave himself up. He
gave me satisfactory reason for not being
here. and tore the attachment up" re-
piled the Court.
That's curious way of disposing of
attachments" remarked Murphy.
There's nothing curious about it at
all, "'said the Judge. 1T was my place to
pass upon the attachment and did. I was
satisfied with the reason the witness gave
me and allowed him to CO."
IF understand the law, attachments
have to be disposed OF in open Court, and
If you are going to dispose of them in this
way will hereafter ask for none," said Mr..
Murphy.
"Mr. Murphy, want no comments from
you, at ali. am Judge of this Court, and
intend to do as | think best" said His
Honor, very angrily.
''All right, then. withdraw my request
for an attachment in this case, and shall
hereafter never ask for another" said the
Prosecutor.
