THE value of telephone and telegraph
service lies especially in its universal
use. This can only be made possible by
its cheapness. In order that all sides
may be benefited, the rates should be
put so low that all can afford to use both
conveniences. Since the cost of tele-
grams was reduced to half cent word
in Germany the business has been
profitable.

repulsive Slattern is written on her

a husband, he will turn out, in all pro-
liability, either an idle fool or a drunk
en- ruiian. The bringing up of daugh-
tiers to be able TO work, talk and act
like honest, sensible young women, is
the special task OF all mothers, and in
the industrial ranks there is imposed
the prime obligation of learning TO re-
spect household work for its own sake

Prom the Youth. companios.
Prof. Tyndall, of London, has just
invented Il new scientific apparatus
that, when properly used, gives most
singular results, and shows that the
wonders Of the photophone have only
just begun.
The photophone has already been
described in the Companion, and you
may remember il az an instrument in
vented by Prof Bell for causing a
beam Of light to convey q telephone
message to a distance.
In the new apparatus, beam Of
light from lime light, or even can
die, is thrown upon common glass
flask having long neck. To this is
fastened rubber speaking tube that
may be placed TO the ear, 80 that any
sounds in the flask may be heard
through the tube.
Between the flask and the light il
placed circular disk Of metal. hav-
ing narrow slots or openings placed
like the spokes Of wheel around the
edge. When the disk is at rest the
beam Of light may pass through one
Of the slots and fall on the flask.
If now, the disk is made 10 turn
rapidly on It's axis, the light will
reach the flask in series Of flashes.
a it shines through the slots, one after
the other. Here the curious discoye-
ry comes in. When the flask il filed
with a gas, or vapor, say the yapor
OF sulphurlc ether, common street gas =.
oxygen, perfumes like patchouli or
cassa, or even smoke, and the beam
Of light is made to fall on the flask
in series of alternate flashes, the
/ operator, listening with the speaking
tube at his ear, will hear strange mus
ical sounds inside the flask.
The pitch Of these tones will CORES
pond exactly with the speed with
which the disk is made TO turn, and
each kind Of gas, or vap0r, in the
flask will give a different kind Of note
some soft, some loud, and some very
sweet and musical.
This is certainly the most remarka-
bic discovery since the photophone,
and 1t shows that light NAV be made
the means Of making sounds audible
al distance, even when the eve can
see no difference in the light It even
suggests the idea that We may yet be-
able to hear the sounds Of the fires
raging in the sun. Ii may, indeed, be
only hint TO yet more wonderful and
unthought-of relationships between
light and sound, which may be uiiliz-
cd a a medium Of communication.

Of the parable, they have here AN un-
mistakable answer.
6. Could there be q more powerful
argument or persuasive to repentance
than the view presented to US in this
storyi The door Of Gods home and
heart are wide open. BY the Saviour's
work every hindrance on his part has
been removed. More than this, the
divine Father is waiting and watching
for the first signs of relenting and re-
turn, ready to hear us when we begin
to confess and ask. His love is repre-
sented as embracing the prodigal, that
there might be encouragement for all.
The welcome is overfowing, that we
may be sure of salvation free and
complete.
