The AUdiphOne.

Enough was accomplished at the pub
lie exhibition of the audiphOne in this
city, November 81, to show that we have
in it an extremely promising aid to those
afflicted with defective hearing. 1t is
quite possible, too, that it is the leader
in line of invention which viii uIti-
mately enable the mute to speak as well
as the deaf to hear
The instrument is simply a thin plate
of vulcanized rubber shaped like
japanese fan. When in use it is curved
to give it the requisite tension, by means
of cords attached to the outer edge of the
fan and fastened at the junction of the
handle. When the top of the fan Is
placed against the upper teeth the i'm
pinging sound waves create q sensible
vibration which is conveyed through the
teeth and the bones of the face Cor posi-
bly by the dental nerves. to the auditory
nerve With a little practice the sounds
thus received are interpreted the same
as if they reached the nerves Of hearing
through the ear; and thus the deaf are
made to hear more or less distinctly.
provided, of course, that the auditory
nerve itself Is not defective. Expert
ments are being made with q class of
deaf-mutes to determine whether such
unfOrtunes can be taught to speak by the
use of this invention, a result strongly
indicated by the results thus far OBJ
tanned. In any case the audiphone
seems to mark decided advance upon
the old-fashioned -Scie15-
tifc american.

COMMERCE. AND INDUSTRY.

There has been an advance of wages by
many of the mill and factory owners of Scot
land.
A Boston dispatch Of the 11th reiterates
the report that the st. Louis and San Fran
cisco Railroad has virtually passed into the
hands of the AtchisOn, Topeka
and Santa Fe Company. The Joint
corporations, it Is further report
ed, are to issue So, 100000 Of bonds,
half to be taken by each concern. This
amount is to be used solely to build the road
from the present terminus of the Atchison,
Topeka ana Santa Fe Road to the Pacific. 1t
also stated that 100000 OF the bonds Of
the new line have already been subscribed
for in Boston.
The House Committee on Mississippi
Levees will report a resolution to send q
committee to visit the Mississippi River from
St. Louis to its mouth, in connection with
the proposed improvements OF that stream
by a system of levees. There are several of
the Commission, 1t is said, who do not be-
lieve that either the leYee or the jetty system
will answer the requirements of the case,
and while this diversity of opinion exists it
will be almost impossible to get concurrent
/ legislation on the subject.
The Senate Finance Committee postponed
/ till after the Christmas recess the Warner
/ ard resolution concerning greenbac5s, on the
J ground that the subjects require fuller dis
/ cussion than could be given by the commit

children around him the other night and
said:
Well, my little Solid Mouldouns, you
want to hear beautiful Christmas story,
do you? And so you shall, my pretty
dears, - and he chucked each dimpled
chin.
"SeveraI years ago this very evenin'
the thermometer was in the identical
notch it is nOw-hangin' behind the
kitchen stove. The wind was blowin'
great guns, just as it is now. To give
you a better idea of the severity of the
weather, will state that a street-peddler
mounted a goods box on the street cor
ner and offered a corn medicine for sale
which he said was a positive cure if taken
regularly three times Il day before each
meal. A stOrekeeper on the opposite
corner threw an egg at the peddler.
The egg froze solid as a rock while
crossin' the street. and crushed the ped
dler's skull. l was foreman of the jury,
and we brought in a verdict of death
from exposure. But this has nothing to
do with the story, which is a tale of
yule-tide Fitz-Clarence DuZenberry
passed along the street, his false teeth
chattering with the cold. He met his
sweetheart and her mother, and, for
gettin' his bald head and the state of
the weather, lifted his hat. The bald
spot was exposed only for moment,
but the fatal work was done. The bald
spot froze harder than the ace of spades.
Fitz-C Clarence did not know any thing
was the matter until he got home and
sat down before a hot fire. Then he
began to thaw out on top of his head,
and in fifteen minutes he was dead

The Grand Jury of Niagara County, y. y,
have found an indictment against Mrs. Ada
line G. HOtchkiss and DR.. Hugh AIcGregor
Wilson for the murder of the husband Of
| Mrs. HOtchkiss, some i years ago. Ever
since Mr.. Hotchkiss died, with symptoms of
poisoning, there have been suspicious Of
foul play; but it was only recently that his
remains were eXhumed and an examination
made, which, even after the lapse OF so
many years, developed unmistakable traces
of arsenic. DR.. Wilson was Mr.. Hotch-
kiss's attending physician during his
last illness, and the uncOncealed fond
ness of Mrs. Hotchkiss for the Doctors So
ciety, and the fact that the two subsequently
left that part of the country about the same
time, were considered additional grounds for
suspicion. \ son of Mr.. and Mrs. Hotchziss
also died quite suddenly soon after his ia
ther's DEATH and this will likely lead to an
other investigation. Mrs. Hotchkiss came
into possession of about $4,000 by the death
of her husband and son. For some years
both Mrs. Hotchkiss and DR.. Wilson have
lived in Detroit, Mich, and an officer was
sent there to effect their arrest.
