Birds On Syireys

Some very curious observations have
been made on the German telegraph
wires at the instance of the Secretary OF
tho Post-offlce, and, In paper read
before the ElectroteohnIo Society of
Berlin, some interesting facts were
given proving that in districts were there
are no trees the smaller birds of prey,
suoh as sparrows, starlings and sw4l-
lows, frequently alight on the telegraph
wires in great numbers. Swallows like
to build under the caves where the wires
run into the offices, and sometimes
cause an "earth" contact, Contacts be-
tween wire and wire are frequently
caused by large birds, suoh as bustards,
storks, swans and wild ducks. They
cause the wires to bend and sometimes
to break. Accidents of this kind were
frequent when the wires run by high
roads along which young geese were
driven to their pastures, Smaller birds,
even partridges, are generally killed by
the shock Of striking the wires. They
do not cause much damage to the lines.
Holes are often pecked through the
poles by woodpeokers. the pleas
martina or black woodpecker, the pioas
virids or green woodpecker, and the
pleas major or piebald woodpecker, mono
OF which spare any kind OF wood with
which they como In contact.

which continue until half-past II. For

ated into four divisions; the first and
second are composed Of the boys of tho
graduating class and such Of the new
boys as have merited the honor of being
advanced; the third and fourth sections
are composed Of tho new boys or those
who have made only one cruise. The
instruction consists Of navigation, sail
making, knotting and splicing, hand
ling sails and exercise with the boats in
rowing and sailing. At noon we have
dinner, from which time until half-past
one no work is done except by those
whose turn it is to clean the mess gear.
AT half-past one school begins again and
continues until three, when it is closed
for the day, and from then until supper,
which we have at six O'Clock. the boys
are allowed to 60 away IN the boats,

After supper the boats are hoisted, and
then the time is our own until hammocks

On Il SonoOl-Ship.

n letter from OH board the training
schoolship st. Mary's, at New London,
says: The past two months have been
busy ones for the graduating boys, who
have been constantly occupied in pre-
pairing themselves for the ordeal of the
coming examination. They have been
hard at work preparing specimens of
their skill in the use of the markings
pike, and palm, and needle. Naviga-
ton has also had large share Of their
attention, and they begin to feel them
selves capable Of navigating u ship to
any part Of world and under all circum-
stances. This year tho boys have been
divided III manner different from the
rule heretofore followed, that is, tho
first and second divisions are composed
Of the graduating class and those of the
new boys who have merited tho honor
by their behavior and application dur
ing the cruise, so that the new boys this
year have had the same chances Of
learning that the old boys have had, and
next year the graduating class will,
without doubt, be an exceptionally fine
one. About three weeks ago we left
New London for a short cruise to break

first visited Gardeners bay, which lies
to the eastward Of Long Island, an d
where we remained for three days, 1t
Is rather a desolate place, about ten
miles from Greenport. The only house
in sight from the ship was at the light
house, about two miles distant. Dur
ing our stay the weather was anything
but pleasant, as it rained most of the
time, and that, with tho fog, made it
very disagreeable. From GARDENERS
bay we went to Newport, r. /. We
remained there only three or four days,
and most Of us were glad to return to
N ew London. After returning instead
OF anchoring off the Pequot house, as
usual, we came up and dropped anchor
off Fort Trumbull, which is much more
convenient for communicating with
the city and is much pleasanter In every

PhotographinE Sound.

photography appears to be running o
race with electricity in curious develop
ments and novel applications. Rock
wood, the we'll knswn Now York photo
grapher. has just achieved the remark
able teat Of photographing sound waves
instantaneouBly. Tho instrument by
which the sound wave was represented,
or made visible in its effect, is new
telephone, the Inventor of which has OBJ
tanned from Mr.. lockwood perfect
ocular demonstration OF its vocal repeat
ting action. The vibrating diaphragm,
upon which the voice is projected, has a
fine metallic point mounted on the
centre of its reverse side. This point
moets tho pointed end Of conducting
wiro 80 nearly that when ut rost tho
intorval between the two points can be
discovered only through strong lens.
Tho thing to bo doae Was to show in u
picture OF tho instruments, or rather in q
serles OF pictures, tho alternate contact
anu separation OF points from the vibra-
tons Impaired to tho diaphragm by the
voice, involving tho closing aud opon-
ing of the electrical circuit md the con-
sequont reproduction of the same ratio
OF vibration in tho receiving instrument
ut the othor end of the line. In con-
Sldering this problom MIR. Rookwood
found himself indebted to his rccollec-
tlon OF nn experiment by Herschel in
photographing (or da2uerrootyping)
with tho cleo rlo spark. Herschel caused
u lour-sided prism of wood, around
which picture was pasted, to revolvent

Mr. lockwood carefully focused his
Photographic camera Oh tho points or
the telephone by daylight, and battery
OF Leyden jars WAS 30 adjusted that
when discharged it would throw the
proper illumination Oh tho points. Mr..
Rockwoods instantaneous plates were
now to be tested under action some five
hundred times quicker than q sensible
instant and invislbly minute. Of course
1t was rs yet practical question
whether they could effectively receive

Valuable Dreaming.

On September Q, Mr.. Samuel Drew
fus Of Memphis, for many years deputy
sheriff III charge Of the criminal court,
died at his residence in that olty of an
affection Of the lungs On the 9Th of
September one Of his sons visited DR..
Goodyear and inquired if his father had
left any private papers with him, as It
was we'll known that the deceased had
been a member Of several benevolent
institutions in Memphis, and look
over those papers found at home re-
vealed but ono policy on his life, and
that was III the order Of the Knights
and Ladies Of Honor. 1t was known to
his family and relatives that he had left
policies i'll other organizations ofa SINH
lar character to the amount Of SlO, 900.
Dr. Goodyear, who had been on inti-
mate terms with tho deceased, did not
remember OF his having left any papers
Win nm, but, to be certain, carefully
examined the contents Of his safe, but
failed to find any. Mr.. Ben K. Pullen,
formerly chief clerk in the sheriff's Of
flee, was also questioned by the son OF
tho deceased, but he, too, did not re-
member OF any papers being left in his
care. Three days afterward the brother.
lH-lbW VI Cno ueceaScu called on Dr,
Goodyear and made the same statement.
regarding the missing policies as had
the son. Another search was made.
but it, too, proved fruitless. A few
days after, SO relates Mr.. Ben X. Pull
lon, he fell asleep in his Office and
dreamed that Sam Dreyfus appeared bo-
fore him and asked: what had become
of his papers which he had given him
While III charge Of the sherifl's omce?"
lie answered: "They are safe where
placed them,' and, suddenly awaken
ing, proceeded at once to the sherlif's
oOlllce, which is on the floor above, and
found the missing package intact, where
he had placed 1t many months ago. The
package was without delay turned over
to the family Of tho deceased, and in it
were the missing policies.
