Useless Dependency

There is not the least doubt that feeling of

of many an invalid who might easily be cured.
The dyspeptic, the bilious and the nervous are

A REPORTER of a Denver paper,
while travelling recently among the
Rockies, found the snow on the tops
of the ranges as red as if it had heen
sprinkled with red pepper. Upon dig
ging down few inches it appeared
clean and white. He concluded that
the red dust must have been meteoric
iron, and in some way connected with
the recent protracted red sunsets.
Prof. Van Diest of Denver disposes of
this theory very briefly. 1T could
not have been meteoric iron" he said,
because iron would by its specific
gravity have sunk beneath the surface
of the snow, and in addition to this,
the color would not have been red, as
it is described to have been, but it
would have been more like ochre. /
imagine that the red substance found
upon the snow was the pollen of some
flower which had been carried from a
distance by the winds. This has been
noticed before, travellers in the Arctic
regions having spoken of seeing SINH
lar appearances upon the snow. Elk
aminations have shown it to be vege-
table and not mineral"

MicrOphones.

1t is through the help of the micro.
phone That telephony has become so
practically and so extensively adopt-
ed. The Blake transmitter, the Alder
and many others by which music ard
speeches are now conveyed so MANY
miles, are all varieties of the carbon
microphone. IN some churches, mic
rophone transmitters are now applied
to the pulpit, SO that the sermon can
be transmitted by telephone to invalid
members who can not leave home.
At the electric exhibition at Paris,
Vienna and Crystal palace, the music
OF an entire opera was transmitted
from the stage by wire to other build
lngs where great numbers of persons
sat and listened to it. The TRANSPORT
of music and other sounds in no way
directly connected with the wire Is
frequently effected by what is termed
induction, or leading Ia. Over and
over again persons listening at tele-
phones for the purpose of hearire
what a friend is saying have heard
the strains of this muslc-aSide, com
municated by induction from some
neighboring line to theirs. Not long
ago a telegraph clerk in Chicago was
listening Iii a telephone early one
morning, and to his surprise heard
the croaking of frogs and the whistl-
ing of birds. The explanation of the
phenomenon is, that a loose joint in
the telephone wire, where it passed
through wood, acted as a micro.
phone, and transmitted the woodlawn
chorus to his ears. Messages in pro
cess of transmission are sometimes
drowned by the rumbling noise OF
street traffic indicted by the wire

STEEL RAILS" says the Chicago
News, Sin England and the United
States have never been so cheap as at
present. They have touched a point
lower than the panic prices of 1873,
when Mr.. Vanderbilt operated to
bring about revival in the trade on
both sides of the Atlantic. He that
year placed an order for the New
York Central Railroad at Deanfeld,
England, because he said he was un-
able to procure the test guarantee he
required in this country. He paid for
those rails about $50 per ton, besides
the heavy import due at New York.
He could now purchase IN England
rails of the same description at 1874 SO
and in the United States at $50. And
yet in England they talk of a still
further cut in prices in order to retain
the export trade in manufacturers
