THE TELEPHONE.
A New Use to Which This Remarkable
Instrument Nav BE Put.

C. B. Norton writes from Springfield,
Mass, to Mr. Edison, telling of new
use to which the telephone may be put.
He says:
During my stay here / have learned
a most curious and useful apple alton
of the telephone. Captain John e.
Greer, a most able officer of the ord
nance department, United States army,
states as follows: "Hitherto the aecu-
rate determination of the time of flight
of small-arm proiectiles has been prac-
tically impossible at long ranges, owing
to our inability to see them strike, even
when firing over water. The discovery
of the telephone has opened up to us q
simple as well as novel means OF OBJ
tanning the time desired, and has also
afforded us the means of verifying the
formulas by which these times were for
merly deduced. In these experiments
two telephones provided with Blake
transmitters Ia form of Edison's carbon
telephone) were used. One was placed
within few feet of the gun and left
open to receive and transmit the sound
of the discharge. The other WAS in the
shelter-proof, which was about thirty
feet in front of the right edge OF the tar
get. A stop watch, beating fourths Of
a second, Was tl,ad in connection with
it. The telephone being at the ear, the
instant the soand Of the discharge was
received at the target the watch vas
started, and, on the bullet striking was
stopped. a mean of large number
of observations, which rarely differed
more than q quarter to half of second
from each other, gave the time of flight
OF course there is slight delay in start
ing the watch, but this is neutralized by
a similar one in stopping it. The time
given may therefore be accepted as
strictly correct. II is worthy of notice
that the times vary on different days,
being shortened by a rear and length
ened by head wind. The velocity of
sound may be readily obtained with the
telephone in the same manner. The
time for the sound of the discharge
passing through the al. was always
shown by the watch, but as it was not
desirable for my purpose to stop the
watch until the bullet reached the tar
get, these times were not taken. This,
so far as / am aware, is the first
attempt to utilize the telephone III ex-
periments of this nature.

Lately some one attempted to say
that critics asserted that Rubinstein was
not a correct player. The printers cor
rected the slur by making it that he
was "not cornet player, which Is
probably true. Another, essaying to

great anu" of local matters, found
that he was instead the great 8 p. m. J"

Charles Stewart Parnell is almost as

during fame for his gallant work IN the
war OF 1872 He came of an Irish fam
lily VINO were rich and distinguished.
They settled in Philadelphia. where the
Commodore was born in 1778. Upon
the death OF ParnelPs father who was
an Irishman of considerable fortune,
of the highest social rank, his mother
returned to America, the land of her
birth, and is nowlliving with her daught-
ers at Bordentown, New Jersey. Parnell
has twice visited this country, in which
he has lively interest, the last time in
company with John O'COnnor Power in
1876. He and his two brothers have
valuable estates in Ireland. His sisters
are spirited girls as was shown in the
readiness with which they ret0rted up
on the journals of New York that ig
norantly or maliciously misrepresented
their brother. They did it too, with q
cleverness that silenced some Of the
opposition, which was presenting Par
nell as mere irresponsible demagogue.

Abont Women Of Twenty-Five.

The man who meets and loves the
woman of 25 is truly fortunate, and she
is equally fortunate in meeting and low

journal. At that age she seldom de-
ceives. She may not have, she is not
likely to have then her first sentimental
experience: but such experience at such
an age is more than sentimental and
rarely ever neeting. Size looks back at
the youths she imagined she was
enamored of betw cen 10 to l2 or often
D, and they are more than Indifferent
or repellant to her---they are ridiculous
and in some sort she, rs she then was Is
ridiculous to herself. She cannot be
but grateful to her destiny, thai her
sympathies and affections have been
reserved for worthy object and high
er end. At p, If ever q woman knows
and estimates herself; she is less liable
to emotional or mental mistakes: she IL
far surer of her fortune, because she
feels that her fate is to certain extent
within her own hands. Not only is she
lovelier and more lovable, broader and
stronger than she has been, but her
welded happiness and powers of en-
durance are in p manner guaranteed

Results Of thu School Election in Mas

The fact that at least few women

OF last sprlng-gave the elections an in

not Otherwise have had In Cambridge,
where III women were registered as

An irish tenant farmermay be worth

respect. He is worse of than the

Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, in America, has secured for
the dog, the COW. the pig, and even the
fish more rights than an Irishman has
possessed in Ireland for centuries. In
this country if you overdrive, overload,
or abuse horse in any manner, you
are held responsible for 1t to The law;
if an animal in your possession is sick
or hurt, the law compels you to properly
and humanity care for it. The English
and Irish to-day stand IN the position
of master and animal; the only differ
ence is the animal has no claim upon
the consideration and humanity Of the
master.
