Prof Bells Account of the Invention of
 the Telephone.

From the St. Louis Post-Despatch
 "Was the invention of the telephone the result of deliberate research and experiment for that purpose, or was it discovery rather than creation ?''
 ..It was the result of long and patient study of two distinct lines of thought, which finally blended in one, producing the telephone. I had for long time studied the subject of speech and the organs by which it is pro, duced. as had my father before me, and in doing so, conceived the idea of producing artificial sounds by a certain systsm. I came to Canada for my health q ana native of Scotland, you know,) and while studying electricity in the woods there, and on regain int ,ov Iost health. was called by the ofn- cisIs of fine Boston schools to introduce 8 new system of teaching the deaf.

It seems that the whisky men, who failed to induce the last Congress to help them out of their diff iculties have not yet given up the idea of getting some relief from the govern ment. ''Bufaloo Miller, who is somewhat celebrated distiller, is reported as saying
 eve shall tackle Congress again this winter for relief for our surplus goods in bond. The shfee-year bonded period is expiring all the time and all we ask of the government is to have it extended two years instead of throw ing all this stock on the market and running down prices. When we go to Congress next time we shall go in body. The Kentucky dissillers. with whom we have an offensive and defensive alliance, will be with us ther. There was no presidential election pending then. There is one now, or will be next year. The distillers of this country are a rather important class and our in faence may be worth something in 1884. I guess there is one politi clan, an ex- United States Senator, too, who now wishes he hadn't opposed us and vilifed us as he did in the last Congress" The gentleman thus referred to by Mir. Miller is Windham of Illinois. MT. Miller's programme is an interesting one, but it is doubtful if it will succeed. It certainly ought not to.

Turn the raseals out," says Governor Hamilton, of Maryland, a good Democrat The rascals he wants turned out are not Re publican rascals, but the bosses who control the Maryland Democrats. He charges that the last three Democratic legislatures have misappropriated half million dollars that the tax and other revenue collectors, most of whom are well known politicians, now owe the State S772, 738 that the oyster and to- baeeo services, instead of maintaining them selves, are serious charges upon the treasury that the advertising of laws has cost $1, GOO a law, which has been distributed according to political reasons and without regard to the quality of the work done that the pub lie printing has been carried to excessive sums that the economies practiced by these legislatures have been very small, with the exception of the repeal of the bounty laws, and this repeal was not made operative for several months, in order to allow claimants chance at the treasury, so that while the payment of bounties in 1879 WAS but $11,- COG, in 1880, fifteen years after the war; there was paid out $669, ,575; that while the members of both houses numbered but III, the officers and employees numbered 105, and the payments to the latter class were bHe F 21-2 per cent less than to the members. If all this is true, and Governor Hamilton ought to know what he is talking about, somebody ought to be turned out.

 We merry little Mormons are,
 Together we have come
 To tell what we intend to do

 We are resolved while we are young
 To study and to learn
 To make good, honest, faithful wives When we that title earn.
 We are resolved we will not wed
 A man who loves the glass.
 Or has 8 habit of strong drink,
 No, no. we'll let him pass
 Nor will we marry any man
 Who smokes or chews the weed,
 His habit would too filthy be,
 No, no' sir, no, indeed.
 That he might have another wife,
 For that we would nft care; We think we'd love him just as well,
 And we his love would share.
 We'd rather wed an honest
 With all the hearts he wins, .. Than anyone who wilt indulge z e,

The recent debate in the British House of Commons on the operation of the Education act brought out a speech from Sir Lyon Playfair in ref utation of what he called the absurd charge that the health of school children is steadily declining in consequence of over-education and over-pressure. He cited statistics showing that the mortality among children under ten years of age had diminished 30 per cent. for boys and 33 per cent. for girls, and among children between the ages of ten and fifteen the percentage of decrease was 32 for boys and 35 for girls Assimproved hygiene would only account for per cent. of this decrease, his inference was that the health of children had been directly promoted by systematic education All diseases among children between the ages of five and fifteen had declined with single exception. This exception, to be sure, was brain disease. but there was no more of it than there was before the Education act was passed.

Reports of substantial benefits from the Scott liquor law now in force in Ohio con- tiAue to come in. Tn Hillsboro city coun- oil has reduced the tax levy for the coming year from 9.6 mills to S5 1-2 mills on this account, and in Gibsonburg, lively village in Sandusky county, the authorities will not levy any municipal tax at all, the revenue from the tax paid by the saloon men under the Scott law being sufficient to cover ex- penses- reduction of the tax levy has been made in many other towns of the State, and the practical workings of the law are proving so eminently satisfactory that the howl of opposition to it has about died out. =

Huge Bridges.

The new bridge across the Firth of Forth,
now building, will, when completed, be
among the most remarkable bridges in the
world. The main girder will be within a
few feet of mile in length and will rest
upon round cylindrical piers, each of which
will weigh 10000 tons. 1t will, of course, be
high enough for all vessels to pass under
meath, and about $4,000 tons of steel will be
required in its construction. The estimated
cost will be $7,500,00O.
China possesses the longest bridge in the
world. 1t is ut Langang, over an arm of the
China sea, and is five miles long, 20 feet high.

arches. The parapet is balustrade, and
each of the pillars, which are 70 feet apart
supports pedestal on which is placed q lion,
81 feet long, made of one block Of marble.
The highest bridge in the world is said to
be the railway viaduct at Garabit, in France
now being erected over river i'll the depart
ment of Cautal. The bridge has a total length
of about $50 feet, and near the middle of
the great center arch, which is one of the
noteworthy features of the structure, the
height from the bed of the river to the rail is
Alb feet.
The Erie railway bridge at Kinzua, near
Bradford, Pa is also an astonisher. The
greatest elevation of the bridge 1902 feet) is

Our Pork Product Abroad.
hdushiai Ne,csl 81

The prohibition of American pork by Ger
many need not be considered a very serious
affair, though, of course, it is to be regretted,
both from the standpoint of direct loss of
trade and its effect on other countries which
now take our hog products freely. There's
bacon let's see. We sent abroad 42s, 900 900
pounds last year. Of this quantity less than
100000 pounds went to Germany.
That doesn't look much like breaking up
the pork business of the country Take
hams. We exported about 10000, 900 pounds
of them last year, and of that quantity less
than 100000 pounds went to Germany. Of
pork we exported S0000,000 pounds, and out
of this little over 100000 went to Ger
many. OF lard Germany takes large quanti-
ties, but up to this time there is no proof that
the decree includes that article. On the con-
trary, sides, bacon, and sausages are specially
mentioned, and lard is not, thus giving rea-
son to think that that article is omitted
Should it be included the blow would be more
severe for out of 250,000,000 pounds of lard
exported last year Germany took 55,000,O00
The expectation of American pork in these
three forms, "bacon," pork" and "hams,"
was over 500,000,000 pounds, and out of that
quantity less than 100000 went to Germany.
France which has also been making remarks
about the American hog, did little better, as
the account sent there last year was less than
100000 pounds.
Over sixty countries, islands, and colonies,
in every part of the commercial world last
year bought American hog products of some
kind. England is by far the largest buyer,
followed in order by Scotland, Belgium, and
the West India islands.

Stopping n Survey.
Engineering NeUs,

The Indian S of the lower sound, along the
sllagit river, Washington territory have for
some years prevented a government survey of
the valuable timber lands above tho conhu-
ence of the Sauk river with the Skagit river
and the neighborhood of the Skagt mines
Recently the surveyor general let contr act
for surveying three townships there, but on
reaching the scene of operations tho party
was met by the Indians, who declared that
they would kill the whites should they en-
deavor TO do the work. The Indians of the
reservation are joining the Skagit tribe, SO
that there are about 200 who will resist tho
surveying party. The surveyor who has got
the contract to do the work was compelled to
go to Seattle to get assistance to protect him
self and his men while in the mountains.
