Mr. Bell, the well-kuown inventor of
the telephone, announces a new aud still
more remarkable discovery than that which
has already made his name famous. 1t is
that ol producing and reproducing Of sounds
by the uudulauous ct light. Mr. Bells new
instrument, he calls Photophouc," aud,
unlike the telephone, which il is well known
conveys sound from oue vibrating disk To
another by means OF wires charged with elec-
tricity, the sound is conveyed from one vi,
bratuE disk to another by a simple rag of
light without any connecting wire whatever.
While the experiments thus TAR made have
been over short distances only, they have
been very satisfactory, aud there is every
reason 10 believe that similar results may
be obtained q, FAR as the beams Of light can
con ipcied, The practical value Of this dis
eoyery may well be imagined to be very
great and world will doubtless wait with i'm
pa..ent eulVsiIy lor further developments.

"A novel method for the taking up and
putting off Of passengers, without the stop
ping of trains, is proposed by NJ. Harenz, Of
Paris, and a railway Of that section is pre-
pairing to put the proposition to practical
test. A waiting car is provided at every
station, into which passengers gather before
the arrival of the train. As the train passes
the station, the rear car which contains on
ly passengers for such station, is cut loose
and side tracked, while the waiting car at
the depot is gathered up by simple devise
and is coupled on, to act as rear coach of the
train to the next station, where the same
cutting Off and grabbing up process takes
place-tbe motion of the train being but
little checked at each point.

man. Mr., Eads who planned and so sue
cessluly engineered the construction of the
famous st. Louis bridge, the ictties at the
mouth Of The Mississippi river aud the "im
proyised ironclads" of the late American
war, now lays before the world a plan for a
ship railway for the American isthmus, at
or near Panama, Nicaragua or Tehuantepcc
over which to transport, bodily, ships of all
sizes, including cargo aud passengers, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean aud Uisa
rersa, The maximum cost of the road at
Panama, including harbors, Is estimated by
Capt. Eads at $50 900 900, much less sum
than would be required to construct a canal
Not few Of the ablest aud most experience
ed engineers and shipbuilders of the world
have pronnu@ced this plan of ship-railway
entirely practicable, aud far more economi-
cal than canal for the same work. In a
careful estimate of the traffic, with a charge
Of two dollars per ton, il is stated that a
revenue would be derived sufficient to yield
a net profit of 10 per cent. on the capital
invested.

parts, is not in the handwriting Of General
Garfield, but it is altogether forgery per-
petrated by some person or body Of persons
for the purpose of decelving the people and

Conspiracy points to men in other quarters,

have been an accomplice, or only dupe

question Of the actual guilt of forgery, be left

A WoMAN's SAFEGUARD.-A wom-
ans safeguard is to keep a mans
hands off her. If you need his as
sistance in anything, take his arm
instead of him taking yours. Just
tel! him in plain English, " bands
of. He may not like it at first,
but he will respect you in the future
tenfold more. Men will be and do
just what the women allow them to.
Men will not do to trust. Give a
man your arm ana you will find him
very confidential, and he will take a
great many privileges he would not
take If he were not not permitted to
do SO. He will give your arm many
loving squeezes and sly twists that
he should have no opportunity Of
dong; the opportunity is just what
he is after. A few words of advice.
Keep your girls off the street except
when on business. Teach them it is
unnecessary to so to the post Office
every time they 60 out. Your girls
can work alone just as we'll as your
boys. Don't allow your girls, il
they must have beau to 20 with
boys much older than themselves. II
possible. instill into their nature that
they are safer in their own hands
than they are in the hands of any
man-preachers not excepted.

The Cold Wave.

The mail news announcing severe
" cold weather AS preval.ing over
Grca, Britain ard the Continent. in
dicates the continuance of the great
"cold wave" which set ia at London
en Ocloper 21th, 1878, and has
ever since, with slight terru.Nlons,
been the marked and memo''a, TEA
ture of English Meteorolos. lne
Official Ensli,h reports show tia, i.e
eight mouths ending with June 3O.h
last were throughout the coolest pc
nod recorded in the last sixty-tive
years; and the subsequent thermo-
metrical range, though not yet pub
lished, will, no doubt, he found
somewha, abnormally low. The
mean tenlpe,"ture, Mr.. Gl.ish,r
now writes, " was only Ala 4 srees
at London, bong lower t!.... any
which has occurred in the ."sent
century since 1Sl3-l4; whe" the
mean temperature of these elSht
months was only 4O.4 degrees.
Another English authority similarly
cites the period "of the past twelve
months. closing November 18th,
as one of "all but unexampled cold
dull weather"
This remarkably protracted chill
ing weather is singular fultlIlmeIt
of a prediction made February 22d,
lS72-six and a half years before The
event. At this last date the Aotron-
omer Royal published IN Aot'Te his
deductions from the thermal data OF
the Royal Observatory at Edinburgh
for thirty-two years, which clearly
show the recurrence of a "great
heat wave" every eleven years and u
fraction. But the Edinburgh obser-
vations evinced period OF "eX-
IRENE cold close on either side Of
the great heat wave," SO that the
Astronomer Royal was led to pre-
dict: 1.-The next cold wave Will oc-
cur in September, 1878" This fore
cast, so strikingly fulfilled by the
frigid season which set in over Eng.
land in the fall of 1878 and has not
vet closed, was based by Professor
Piazzi Smy:h on the eleven year pc
RODS nearly coincident with the sun
spot cycles, of the same duration.
Whether the observed weather cy-
cles of eleven years are due to the
equally we'll observed sun-spot cy-
Giles or to some other physical asen-
cy, it would seem clear that we have
in this forecast one practical corrrb-
Grafton of the theory which ascribes
The earth's great heat waves and
their associates "cold waves" to va
rying solar or cosmical influences
with which modern astronomy il be-
coming increasingly familiar. The
Astronomer Royal in 1872 said:
eve may expect the next occur
renee of the great heat wave in or
about 1880" We may, therefore,
soon be able to test more fully the
accuracy of his calculation and the
practical value of the theory on which
both it and his prediction of the re-
cent "cold wave" were based. If
the theory be sound, despite the
present interruption to the warm
weather which marked the Autumn
and the early part of December, we
may yet have a comparatively tenn
perate Winter or early Spring, and
1880 will lie favorable year for the
American Arctic expedition and the
other polar explorations now pro-
jected.
