countless were the fishing parties they
instituted, and delicious the chowders
they concocted, and many were the
hunting expeditions from which they re-
turned laden with small game, TO be
cooked IN hunters fashion, but most APP
petizingly, at our gypsy fireplace, and,

most sadly neglected the while we gained

with happy faces, and brows crowned
with will flowers.
It might also have been noted about
this time that sundry changes took
place in our attire, numerous bright
ribbons and fresh lawns taking the place
of our somber seryiceable grays, almost
without our knowledge.

near, and was turning jeweled circlet
on my finger, and seeing it through
mist of tears that dimmed its glitter
strangely.
"The time is very near, Nan don't
you think you had better break up at
Walden ?" This brought me to myself
with a start, as 1 exclaimed, remorse-
fully:
"What will Jessie say?"
"There is your answer" laughed
Fred, pointing down a long reach of
trees, at whose farther end could be seen
the glimmer of pale blue lawn, with
most unmistakable coat-sleeve outlined
against it, while the jetty locks of its
owner were in dangerous proximity to
the others blonde crimps. Fooled at
this point I tried another:
"Three days why, could never get
ready in the world"
"Nothing to wear p said Fred, light
ly; "don't tell me. What does your
oracle, Thoreau, say about It'll you
have any enterprise before you, try it in
your old clothes 1"
So what could 1 do? And Jessie
found herself helpless before the same
arguments, and, three days from that
time, we were whirling away from c.,

of that city had fairly recovered their
breath at the astounding announcement

They say II IL foolish for mortals to dream
CT bliss more complete on life's turbulent stream
Than that they enjoy, did they use it Alright,
Nor cover Soils rays with ceruean blight
But think that the man who ne'er dreams Of day
When his shall grow great and his sorrows de-
cay
Is unworthy the form that he bears and the mind
That was made to explore in the mists unconfned.
For, when the dark hairs of the dreamer are gray,
And his tot ering limbs speak of passing away"
If the castles he built were but castles of air,
Yet pleasant it was when he built them fair;
And the memory of days when his fancy had fight
Will soften the shadows of swift coming night,
And he'll eagerly turn to that beautiful land
Where the castles are built, but not built sand

Prince NapOleOn's BOOt-Maker.

A diverting story, humorously illustra-
tive of Prince jerome Bonadart's
proverbial thriftiness, has recently gone
the round of the Partisan newspapers.
It appears that during the latter part of
his cousins reign the prince became dis
satisfied with his bOot-maker, and form
ally withdrew his custom from that
artist, who continued, nevertheless, to
ornament the front Of his shop with at
tractive inscription, " Purveyor to his
Imperial Highness, the Prince Napoleon"
Noticing this delusive announcement one
day, as he drove past the shop, Prince
Jerome sent a member of his household
to the boot-maker with positive orders
that the inscription should be forthwith
removed. AS, however, he subsequently
found that his commands had been dis
regarded, he took legal proceedings
against the boot-maker for unlawful and
mendacious advertisement Of his (the
prince's) patronage. The defendants
counsel, in the course of his pleadings,
endeavored in the following ingenious
manner to show cause why his client
should not be compelled to Withdraw
the offending inscription, arguing that
such decision on the part of the court
would infallibly result in serious preiu-
dice and loss to the boot-maker. " For,
he observed, "hitherto, passers-by whose
attention was attracted by the announce
ment in question stopped, entered the
shop, and bought boots freely Of my
client. And why did they 50? Because
they had already said to themselves,
Prince Napoleon's boot-maker That
must be good workman, and an I'M
commonly cheap one in the bargain. We
will give him trial If you force him
to remove his inscription, the peripatetic
public will certainly infer that he must
have raised his prices, and viii hurry
past his shop with averted eyes" The
boot-maker, it need scarcely be added
was cast, but one can not help regretting
that so humorous a plea should have
been disallowed by a French tribunel.-

THE PHOTOPHONE.
How sOund Is Reproduced by LIght-RO
Connecting Wires Between Stations

[Springfeld Republican,

[springfeld Republican,
The latest marvel in applied science is
the discovery by the inventor of the Bell
telephone and Sumner Taintor of Water
town that " sounds can be produced by
the action of variable light from sub
stances of all kinds, when in the form of
thin diaphrams. In other words, q ray
of light is substituted for the connecting
wire, and sounds at one station are repro
duced at another. AS is well known the
action of the telephone is due to vibra-
tions in an electric current, caused by
diaphram set in viabration by the
voice, the current thus modified repro
ducing its vibrations ON q sesitive dia-
phram at the other end of the circuit.
In the photophone, as the new in
vention is called, the changes in the cleo
trio current are made during its passage
through selenium, substance heretofore
known only as chemical curiosity, but
with the strange property of conducting
electricity more easily when exposed to
light than when In the dark. A steady
light allows O. current to pass through an
even resistance; q varied light varies the
resistance, so that the current is stronger
or weake after passing throught the selen.
ium, and its variations are easily turned,
III telephone, into vibrations of sound.
Prof Bell and Mr.. Taintor have already
spoken between points about six hundred
feet apart, and they believe that the re-
suit can be obtained as far as beam of
light can be flashed. The simplest ap-
paratus of many devised consists of
plane mirror of flexible material, as sill
vered microscope glass or mica, which
will CULVER with vibrations of sound. On
this is gathered through lens beam
Of light from any source, success having
been found with a kerosene or candle
flame. The parallel beam reflected from
the plane mirror is thrown to distant
concave mirror and focused on piece of
selenium, electrically connected with
telephone. The voice throws the plane
mirror into vibrations which modify in
intensity the ray of light, which rapidly
changes the resistance of the distant sell
enium, this varying the electric current in
the telephone as the voice now does di-
rectly. Another means Of affecting the
beam of light is by a disk, perforated
with Sits, which is rapidly burned, pro-
ducing in the selenium a continuous
musical tone, whose pitch varies with the
rapidity of the disks rotation, a silent
motion thus producing sound. A
strange thing is that some substances
placed in the beam of light do not cut off
the sound. A sheet of hard rubber, for
instance, made the beam invisible, but
the musical note was still heard Other
experiments suggest the possibility Of
doing entirely without the electric cur
sent in the telephone at the receiving
station,

How Diamond Mines Are worked.

The system of working the diamond
mines is described by the operator as
follows:
The ground being picked loose by ma
tives and broken upSis hauled out Of the
mines in tubs running on inclined wires;
from these tubs it is transferred to a
sitting cylinder, which removes the
coarser stones, the remaining soil being
mixed with water and slowly stirred in a
flat pan of circular form, by means Of
arms fitted with teeth, this pan varying
from six to fifteen feet in diameter, &c
cording to the amount Of work to
be done. The effect of this is to leave
the diamonds, which are harvest, at the
bottom; the lighter soil escaping over
the edge of the pan, to be taken up by
dredger and trucked away. At the
end of days work the contents
OF the circular pan are cleaned
out and washed up in hand-sieves, when
in turning over the sieve on the table the
diamonds can be at once seen from their
brilliancy, some being of most perfect
octahedron shape and as clear as crystal.
The rough diamonds are almost in
variably below ten carats In weight, the
average being about the size of pea;
indeed, in the Bultfontein Mine, a ten
carat stone is looked upon as curiosity,
though specimens exceeding one hundred
carats in weight have on rare occasions
been secured. The value of stone de-
ponds entirely on its color, shape and
freedom from spots or flaws; those of
faultless shape and perfect whiteness
taking the precedence of all others The
diamonds exceeding twenty carats In
weight are mostly of various shades of
yellow, large white diamond being a
comparative rarity.
