be found when wanted, and being a public officer, it
is but right that he should make some attempt to
satisfy the wants of the public, outside of the Police
Court. The public wants would be supplied, in this
regard, if he would designate where he might be
found when of the bench. and not in his Office; or
better still, what are his Office hours?

A Time-Savlng Invention.

There is apparently no limit to the
practical application of electricity to the
uses of every day life. The electric
light has close y followed the telephone,
and the latter has become an ordinary
commonplace affair. Since then, ac-
cording to the Scientific american, a
novel and important Improvement in a
special field of telephone use has been
reported from London. Our readers
are familiar with the principle OF Mr..
Edison's elccromotograph or loud
speaking telephone. BY employing his
small electric motor to turn the chalk
cylinder the telephone is made auto
matte. Instruments of this sort have
been placed in, and large number more
are in preparation, for the London Times
newspaper office; and the reporters of
the paper, say in parliament, instead Of
reading their shorthand notes to copy
lists, and transmitting the longhand
opy to the printer, as heretofore, now
read them directly to the telephone, thus
saving the time of copying and carrying
the report. In the printing office the
compositor sits at type-setting ma
chine, and, as the report is delivered to
him by the automatic telephone, he sets
the type as one would play a tune upon
apiano. Having no copy to decipher,
his whole attention is given to the set
ting of the type, and another great saw
ing of time is effected. The indications
are that by the use of autographic and
automatic telegraphy lin conjunction,
perhaps, with stenographic type writers)
reports of public meetings will soon be
almost instantly transmitted through
long distances and at fraction Of ex-
pense which such work now involves.
By the same process, drawings as well
as writings, will be transmissible
quickly and economically. Such inven-
tions open up lines of progress too far
reaching for the boldest imagination to
follow,

How One Can be Mistaken.

Thus, according TO an epigTammatist,
spake Pitt and Dundas as they were en-
tering the house of commons after a
dinner where old port had flowed freely
Cr both. Net less mistaken or less
knest, says DR.. Wharton in the new
Triminai LGW Magazine, are sometimes
the leading witnesses in importantcrim-
inal trials. Lady Tichborne recognized
the claimant as her lost son, and other
witnesses swore positively to the same
effect, while there was a mass of testi-
mony showing, on the one hand, that
he was ar Australian bushman by the
name Of Castro, and, on the other, that
he was Arthur Orton. On the trial of
Webster, the Harvard professor, for
murder, several witnesses testified en-
phatically that they had seen DR.. Park
man alive at time when he was un-
doubtedly dead. When an ingenious
attempt was made to perpetrate an in
surance fraud by falsely representing
Undertook to be dead, corpse, fraud
ulently prepared for the purpose, was
identified as his by number of wit
nesses. Afterward, when in reality
Undertook had been killed, several
persons who saw his dead body testi-
fled that it was not his. Two men were
recently tried in England for burglary
committed on the night of Sunday, Oc-
tOber 81, 1879. Four witnesses testified
to having seen them at this time at the
place of the burglary. The defense was
an abb. Twelve witnesses swore posi-
lively that on the evening in question
the accused were at home. The most
skillful cross-examination failed to
shake this evidence, and the prisoners
were acquitted. 1t afterward appeared
that each of these twelve witnesses was
wrong. They all agreed that the night
inquestion was rough, stormy and dark
The night of Sunday, October IA. was
ofthis description, but the night ofSun.
day, October 81, when the burglary was
committed, was clear and moonlit. The
twelve witnesses had confounded the
two nights. In the Rowland will case,
Prof. Pierce gave the expert testimony
that the improbability of two genuine
signatures being exactly alike was, on
the doctrine of chance so great ms TO
amount to a practical impossibility.
Against this evidence were produced a
number of genuine signatures, whose
likeness amounted to exact coincidence.

The Vatican

The Vatican, then, is an immense and
irregular pile of buildings, erected at
different times, and with little attempt
at architectural unity. It consists of
countless halls and rooms, and these
surround courts with colonnades and
fountains. Many of them are lighted
from above; but others, especially in
the library, look out on sunny garden
spaces where are close-clipped hedges,
trim Aower-beds, and orange and lemon
trees laden with golden fruit. The halls
given up to the statues and pictures
and there is half a mile of them, accord
ing to Murray-are cold aud stately in
their effect; and, despite ScGldiao here
and there, they chill one to the marrow
of his bones in half an hour. The
Etruscan and Egyptian museums be-
meath are gloomy, but the library halls
are warm and bright. Their walls are
adorned with frescoes, their doorways
and columns are of marble in all varying
tints. The bookcases are ofrare woods,
some paneled and carved, some painted
with fruit and flower designs on white
or gold ground. These are all you see,
the books being invisible. Rare,
marble tables hold presents made the
popes by kings and emperors in
the last century; Sevres vases
from the King of Prussia; malachite
from Prince Demidoff; splendid can
delabras from Napoleon l.; little Prince
Louis's baptismal font sent by Eugene
so long ago; rare illuminated missals
whose covers are adorned with embroid-
cries Of gold and gem; wonderful fald-
stool from Tours, mass of delicate
carving in light brown wood, all ferns
and wandering vines and bell-howers,
and lace-like canopies over ivory saints
six inches high which jewel the sides
all these are but little of the beautiful
things you see. You walk through hall
after hall filled with rich and rare and
curious articles, and get from every
window glmpses Of garden green or
silvery fountain. You look back from
the last hall down vista so long that
you cannot distinguish objects at the
other end. The whole effect is of be-
wildering richness and beauty. But all
these museums are much alike, sup
pose, to ignorant eyes. The first one
seen always stays in your memory MS
biggest and BEST Good Company.

The Sensitive Telephone.

The marvels of the telephone are in
Vulnerable. At an experiment made
the other day between this city and
Harrisville, near Phoenix, distance Of
sixte n miles, the ticking of watch
could be heard distinctly. A sentence
uttered in a whisper three feet from a
Blake transmitter was heard at the other
end of the line. Music played upon n
piano standing forty feet from the tele-
phone was heard distinctly. 1t is not
uncommon for man to ask question
of friend sevsral miles away and hear,
in the friends house or Office, theNc
versation which precedes the answering
of the question.
A very striking instance of this sort
occurred in Hartford the ether day. Mr..
j. G.. Patterson called one of the hotels
and asked the clerk If an acquaintance
was in his room and could be seen in
half an hour. Keeping the telephone at
his ear Mr.. PATTERSON heard the hotel
clerk call on a waiter and give the mes
sage. He heard the steps of the waiter
as he went upstairs; heard him knock
at the gontlcman's door; heard the door
open; the message delivered; the gen
tleman's reply; the returning steps OF
the waiter gS conversation with the
clerk, and was in possession of all the
facts before the clerk reached the tele-
phone to reply to the question asked -

Going 10 Siberia.

The czar ofall the Russias has an i'm
mense, cold country where he sends his
criminals, and he Furnishes Tor very
slight oifenses, so he has many people
to send. These conyicts leave st Peters
burg az night, the men having their
hands chained behind them, and wear
ing leg chains of four pounds weight all
the way. The women 60 in gangs by
themselves, wearing black cloaks with
hoods. The men who conduct them TO
this desolate land are mounted on horses,
and have long whips which they use for
the least provocation. Once there, they
work year after year in the mines, never
seeing the light of day. They sleep in
rccesses hewn out OF the rocks, into
which they creep on their hands and
knees. They work Sunday the same
as any other day. No man who has
worked in the mines is ever allowed TO
return home. When he has lost the use
Of his limbs, which happens in n few
years, nc is hauled up to die in the poor
house.
