PRESIDENT GARFIELD.

NO Doubt OF His Recovery-The Rail- Located
to the Satisfaction OF the Surgeons.
An interview with DR.. Hamilton is even
stronger in its statement than in his dispatch
to his wife on Saturday. He says emphatically
OF tho president: 'There is no reasonable
doubt Of his recovery" "Wil you permit mo
to ask one question? Do you think the presi-
dent will be able to resume his duties?" "He
will undoubtedly be aLlo to resume certain
class of official duties within week or two. u
On Monday, Professor Bell, arranged Li,

arrangement Of coils ,s seven inches long by five
inches wide and was placed upon tho black aud
blue spot where the ball had appeared for some
time to be located, and the ticking Of tho in
strumeat was heard. In no other place could
the ticking Of the instrument be ascertained,
The attending physicians were completely sat-
isfi ID that tho precise location Of the ball had
been ascertained.
&c Yes, We found the ball." said DR.. Bliss, in
reply to question. ''lt lies five inches below
the navel, and it 10 one-half inch to the right

Of course we eau only estimate the depth al
which the ball lies below the surface. shoulj
think tho president has lost about forty five
pounds Of flesh. Taking this fact into consid-
Grafton, together with what We can feel by

could not b sure OF it until to-day, when ]
pressed the flesh around the spot, the president
said that he felt something hard and I was sure
it was the ball"
DO you intend to attempt to remove it?"
Not unless it 10 absolutely necessary. Ii

moved. On the other hand, il after the presi-
dent recovers aud begins to walk We should

THE NEW INVENTION.
Prof. Bells new induction balance consists OF
two fiat coils about two inches in diameter and
half inch in thickness of insulated copper,
= battery, condenser, and interrupter OF cir.
cut cut breaker % and telephone ends Of primary Q,
lnducting coil, which are connected with the
poles OF the battery, aud in the same circuit are
condenser and email interrupter, whose vi.
Drafting tone opens and closes the circuit With
great rapidity. The ends Of the secondary coil,
IN which the current il to be induced, are car
ried to tho binding posts of ,. Bell telephone.
ecscndary coil is laid on the primary coil, and
their respective circumferences exactly coin.

ton and the rapidly of the interrupted circuit
through the primary coil induces another cur.
rent Of higher intensity in tho secondary coil,
and - it does 80 low musical tone b heard in
the telephone with which the secondary coil il
connected. So lorg 40 the current mentioned
and the circumferences OF the two coils are

tensity. II, however, tho experimentcr slides
the upper coil along an inch or - lower, sc
that their eircnmferences no longer
correspond, the intensity Of the musical
tone IL diminished. Just In proper.
ton ss the centers Of the fat coils are sep.
arated BY greater or less distance, the intensity
Of musical tone is lessened or increased. By
delicate manipulation it 10 possible to adjust
the centers Of tho overlapping coils At such 4
distance, ono from tho other, that perfect
balance 10 brought about, and when this is the
case the telephone makes n, sound whste ver.
Az soon - the balanced coils begin to feel dis.
tur! ance caused BY their approach to the en-
bedded bullet, the telephone announces the
fact by = continuous musical noise, and grows
louder until the overlapping parts OF the coils
are direoty above the disturbing metal, wheu
