Mrs. Bell, wife of Professor Graham Bell.
the electrician, was one of the deaf pupils OF
DIR. Gallaudet in Washington. Professor Bell
first met her at q reception ut the college, and
so expert wgg she in reading speech by the
motions of the lips that they conversed to-
gether for some time without his discovering
her inhrmity. At last walking through the
conservatory, where some of the Chinese Ian.
terms had gone out, he made some remark re-
quiring AN answer. But none WAS forthcom-
ing, it being not light enough for her to see
the movements of his lips He repeated the
remark and again got only silence for reply.
Mystihed, he soon escorted her back to the
parlor and then, in the brilliant light, asked
her why she had not answered him but his
amazement was rodoubled tenfold at her ready
reply Il have never heard sound in all my
life"
Prof. Douglas, of Ann Arbor University,
Mich, believes the cyclone is an electrical
disturbance, and has been manufacturing
them. He does it by suspending large cop
per plate by silken cords. This plate is
charged heavily with electricity, which hangs
down like bag underneath, and is rendered
visible by the use of Rrsenious acid gas, which
gives it a green color. This formation is q
miniature cyclone as perfect as any started in
clouds. 1t is funnel shaped, and whirls
around rapidly. Passing this plate over a ia.
BILE, the five cent cyclone snAtches the copper
cents, pens, pith balls and other objects and
scatters them on all sides.
About sixty years ago." says writer in
the Washington Capital, Hannah Adams
went into the Boston Athenmum to read. II
was the first time woman had gone to pub
lie library to avail herself Of privileges that
had belonged exclusively to men, and all Bos.
ton was shocked by the innovation declaring
Hannah Adams out of her sphere. To-day
there are more women reading books in the
great public library of Boston than men, but
who will say thoy are out of their sphere, OF
that households are neglected or home life
disturbed because Boston women are well
read ?"

BOstOn Market Notes.

IIfom The JOURNALS CITY Article, lOth.l
The butter market is still dull and depressed and is
not likely to improve condition until prices drop to
a point at which exporters will operate. The finest
creamery is held at % to "a cents pound, but little
can be sold to the trade at 22c exporters are
unwilling to pay zoe. Jobbng lots sell fairly to
the grocery trade at 24c to 25c Choice dairy butter
which for immediate is as good as most of the
creamery, sells in round lots at 10 to 2lc and in Job
bling lots at 23c. Everybody admits that butter is
cheap at present rates, but the supply is greater
than the demand and keeps increasing, there is no
knowing when the turning-point will be reached.
