GRANITE IN A TREE.-Upon splitting a
white oak tree cut down in Nevada county,
California, there was found embedded in the
heart of the trunk, 60 feet above the roots,
a piece of granite weighing about two
pounds. A probable explanation is that the
tissue had gradually closed upon it, after the

INVENTION OF GOVERNMENT CLERK-wHH.
fERING FROM NEW YORK TO CLEVELAND.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-Much interest
is taken in The Baxter transmitter, by which
loug- distance conversation by telephone Is
20 ade possible. Mr. Lester Baxter, the in
ventor, is a clerk in the surgeon generals Of
fce. He has been devoted student OF cleo
tricity for many yesrs, and has m sde numer-
Gus discoveries which have not yet been
brought to practical use. In reference 10 the
transmitter and sounder, which ia expected
TO revolulionize communication, he said to-
day that he has not been present at any of
the experiments between New York and
Cleveland, but that he has tested the inven-
| ton over 6ve-mile wire in the city, and the
results have been satisfactory. He says that
ever this wire he has heard a whisper spoken
at i distance OF seventeen feet from the
instrument. Mr. Baxter says an ordins ~
one of voice can be heard when the
speaker is seventy feet away. Ooe OF
the most important differences between his
invention and The Blake is that whether
the speaker talks in whisper or shouts close
TO the diaphragm, the same is heard equally
we'll through the Baxter trsnsmitter, while a
loud tone spoken to the Blake transmitier
will 90 sgitate the current TO make hear
ing an i'm possibility TO each other by wire.
Mr.. Baxter is now experimenting upon .
system for applying the duplex system to the
telephone, and he is sanguine of success.
The company controlling this patent do not
/ intend to construct their own lines, but will
lease privileges and instruments to telegraph
companies. The company already have
| many offers for exclusive rights, and are now
! considering proposition Tor the entire ter
rilory OF New England. Arrangements are
| making for the further test of the invention
between New York and Washington. A wire

CAPITAL R6IEES

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Orders have
been issued from the Treasury Department
to the superintendent of the lake districts
of the Life-S.viDg Service, directing them
to instruct keepers of stations to enlist men
for the ensuing active season, which will
extend from the opening 10 the close of

The President has appointed John w.

Nine hundred and Eve thousand acres of
land have been certified to the State Of Min
nesota for the benefit of the 81. Paul and

has already been transferred TO the railroad
company. In the decislon msde hy the
comm isEioner general of the Land Office, it
is held that the mere certiication of land to
State does not convey e title thereto, but
that patent must be duly Issued. The
effect of this decision will be to compel the
State of Minnesota to take out patents for
all lands certified TO it which may be found
to be free frsm conflicting claims.
