HARMONIC TELEGRAPHs.-The names OF
Reis, Varlsy, La Cour and Grey are asso.
ciated with q system of telegraphy that
must be regarded as the most curious and
interesting ever devised. All the systems
of these inventors have been tried on
commercial scale, and they may be included
under the general name OF harmonic tele-
graphs. If tuning-fork is by ary means
set in vibration, and is so connected with
a line wire that each swing of its prongs
makes and breaks the circuit, the energy
of the battery will be manifested at the far
end of the line in an electro-magnet as
series of vibrations of the armature ex-
actly corresponding to the vibrations Of the
tuning fork. If second tuning.fork of
precisely the same pitch or rate of yibra.
tion be placed In connection with the elec-
tro.magnet, it may be made to vibrate and
give its note so long as the first fork is
kept in motion. Moreover, there may be
several pairs of forks arranged in this
manner at opposite ends of single wire.
Let any one of these pairs be sounded at
the transmitting end, and at onoe the fork
of the same pitch will respond Co il. It
seems as if each knew its mate and sang
with it whenever moved by the electric
sympathy between them. Out of this ex.
ceedingly interesting fact in science come
the harmonic telegraphs, In practice
Morse key controls each fork at the send.
ing end, and the receiving operator listens
to the note of the fork that sings with it,
and the notes appear as the letters of the
Morse alphabet. No less than four mes
sages have thus been sent over one wire at
the same. time, and as each fork replies
only to its unison mate, the messages in no
wise interfere with each other Harper's

TIE RErRrsu ron OF a HISS.

In the popular magazine, Time. edited
by Edmund Yates, Dntton Cook tells an
amusing story of the man who hissed the
representation of Weber's der Frei-
schuetz," in Paris. He was grocer S
shoeman, and he was promptly elected by
some medical students, one of whom after
wards discovered the groeer's man in a
hospital. The man who hissed Weber
died, and his body was given out for dis
section. Hector Berlioz fifteen years later
revived the opera, and in order to produce
greater effect proposed to have real skel-
eton in the VOLTS Glen scene. By chance
he met the student who had turned out the
grocer's shopman for kissing "Der Frei.
schuetz." After that unfortunate man had
been dissected his skeleton was preserved.
"He's all right, said the student. "He
fills case in my consulting-room, hung on
wires and beautifully put together There's
not a bone missing, not even one of his
phalanges. Only the skull is little dam.

"I want you to lend him to me- There

opera.
"I don't understand"

"Un secret de comediel Well, I'll send

In box, corded and locked, the poor
shopman's bones reached the Opera-house.

lioz to the property-master. He is about
to make his first appearance upon the stage.
His costume will be very simple. You
