GLADSTONE TO PARNELL.


 Not Anxious to Become the POIit.- cal Physician of the Irish Peo. pie.
 EDINBURG, Nov. 17.-In his speech at West Calder to- day MT. Gladstone said Mr. Parnel1 had conveyed to him through the confden- tial medium of the newspapers the sugges- tion that he (Gladstone) should frame plan for local self-government in Ireland. He would reply through the equally confden- tial medium of public speech his reasons for non compliance with the Irish leaders suggestion. He would not be rash enough to volunteer to become the political physician of the Irish people instead of the authorized doctors whom they sent to the House of Commons. When speaking in Edinburg he had presumed to recommend disestablish- ment, conscientiously appealing to the best interests of the party, but he now saw that his recommendation had been painfully dis appointing to some. MT. Gladstone then compared the foreign policies of the Liber- als with that adopted by the Tories and pointed out the weak points in the latter

Wonderful Instrument to Smooth
 the Paths of Knowledge.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Mr. w. Marshall Adams, of England, has come to Washing ton to explain to the commissioner of educa- ton an instrument which he has invented for simplifying geometrical problems. It is called mensurator and it's object is to em body in concrete form the relations existing beeween the different parts of triangle so as to render them perceptible to the eye instead of being merely cognizable by the mind. Ac cordingly it can be used either for calculation, in which case it will instantly perform many operations in trigonometry, mechanics and kindred sciences; or as 8 means of instruc ton by which the theories of Euclid and of elementary geometry in general may be readily illustrated. MT. Adams has lectured upon it at the Sarbonne at Par is, the Royal Military academy at Woolwich and at Cambridge university, and has been highly complimented by many mathemati- clans of Europe. In explaining some of it's peculiar advantages he said it enables the student to apprehend intelligently the theo- ries of geometry at glance instead of hay ing to tumble at them for years. 'Inas- much, 3 he said, ''as I consider mathematics when properly understood as the truess form Of training alike for highly intellectual pursuits and the business of daily life, I attach unusual importance to the use of this instrument, it will not only open up this whole wide field to every body, but will enable the poorest and most diligent manual laborer to easily understand the subject with q thoronghness whieh. is scholars" MT. Adams hopes to have it introduced into the public schools and colleges in this country.

Some were on the plants. and. of course,

fed me that none of those who trespassed
on my delphiniums lived long enough to
have a taste of the tomatoes in the next
field. There was no apparent injury done
to the plants that killed them; but how
did they get killed? My theory is that
after leaving the potatoes they crawl up
everything, nibbling at everything that
comes in their way until they find some
thing that suits their palate. but that even
nibbling at larkspur is too much tor po-

TOughened Glass.

We learned from a contemporary that
since the time when De la Bastie intro
duced his toughened glass, Mr.. F. Sem
ems, of Dresden, has not ceased to prose-
cute his Investigations in connection with
the tempering of glass. That substance
is. as is too well known by some. very
be rendered tough, it would be immensely
more useful than it is at present. Do la
Bastie found that by heating the glass to
a certain temperature and immersing it in
oil he increased its hardness and produced
some degree of toughness; but the process
was wrong in principle, because the
metal was put into state of tension,
and a slight scratch often led to theS sud
den dissolution of the article, which ex-
ploded into a thousand fragments Mr.
Siemens heats his glass in radiation fur
mace and cools it between metal plates in
a press, by which means he enormously
increases its strength. and. if desired,
can make it so hard that diamond
will not abrade its surface. Only glass
OF the best quality can be so treated !;
but another process. called semi-hard-
ening. in which the glass is cooled in the
open air while held in an iron easing,
yields a product having about three times
the strength of the ordinary article. The
most important discovery. however, is one
which promices to provide field of use
fulness for the enormous heaps of blast
furnace Stag which have been accumulating
in this country for many years; for Mr..
Siemens has succeeded in producing rail-
way-sleepers. tramrails, Aoor-plates.

Meat Eating Not Necessary.

1t is vulgar error to regard meat in
any form as necessary to life; if for any
it is necessary, it is for the hard working
out door laborers, and for these a certain
proportion is no doubt desirable To many
it has become partially desirable only by
the force of habit. and because their di-
gestive organs have thus been trained to
deal with it. and at first resent change.
But this being gradually made. adaptation
take place, and the individual who has
consumed two or three meat meals daily
with some little discomfort chiefly from
being often indisposed to make active ex-
erions. becomes, after sufficient time has
elapsed. stronger, lighter and happier. as
well as better tempered and manifestly
healthier, on more delicate dietary. AL
terations in the dietary, especially of eld-
erly persons, should be made gradually
and with caution. This condition fulfilled,
considerable change may be effected
with satisfactory results when circum-
stances render it necessary. A brief al.
fusion must be made to the well known
and obvious fact that the surrounding
temperature influences the demand for
food. which therefore should be deter
mined as regards quantity or kind accord
ing to the climate inhabited. or the season
of the year as it affects each climate. In
hot weather the dietary should be lighter
in the understood sense of the term. than
in the cold weather. Living on cereals,
vegetables and fruit, with some proportion
of fish, and abstaining from alcoholic
drinks, the same persons would probably
enjoy the high temperature. and be free
from the thirst which is the natural result
of consuming needlessly substantial and
heating food

A New Telephone.

A gentleman of Fort Worth, Texas, has
perfected a magnetic telephone and tele-
graph, which does away with batteries of
any kind. 1t has been tested over thirty
eight miles OF wire, and proved perfectly
satisfactory both as a telephone and tele-
graph. The instrument used was COM
posed of two ounces of wire and ha.f.
pound of steel, and can be made for twen-
ty-tive cents. The transmitter is simply a
horseshoe magnet. either pole being COW
cred with fine wire. coiled carefully. The
armature is disk of steel against which
the voice is thrown, transmitted through
the magnet to the wire. The receiver is
similar. with smaller magnet. 1t is
claimed by the inventor that he can trans
nit the voice around the world or across.
the Atlantic Ocean, there being no limit
to distance. all that is necessary being the
increase IN size of magnet. The one used.
weighing half pound, was capable of
transmitting the voice seventy-five miles.
The cost OF batteries is said to be $780,
600 yearly, which would be saved by this
invention. In telegraphing, the key at
tachment now in use would be applied,
but very little noise would be made. The
receiving operator would have a disk at
tached to his ear, hung by hook in
cap. or strapped around his head. The
noise now incident 10 telegraph offices
would be done away with. No one could
steal information transmitted to pool
rooms. stock exchanges, etc. The tele-
graph would be absolutely secret. The
inventor says further, that the instruments
could be carried on all trains, and. in case
of accidents between stations, could be at
tached to the telegraph wire. and notice
given to any station just where the acct
dent had occurred. in few seconds He
also says minor or diver could take an
instrument attached to an insulated wire,

and converse with person at the other
end.

The Terror of the StenOgraphers.

The swiftest of English shorthand writers.
MIR. Thomas Allen Reed, thus describes his
attempts to report the sermons of the
Rev Phillips Brooks, now preaching

varied experience, listened to public orator,
whether in the pulpit, on the pla form or
even in a law court, where perhaps the fastest

tinuous. uninterrupted flow of rapid articu
lation However large the building, the

rapid speakers will utter quite deliberately.

ness, and the reporter no sooner puts pen to
paper before he finds himself dashing for
ward heller SHELTER. his energies taxed to the
utmost to get up and maintain the necessary
speed. He is eagerly expecting the end of

sentence ended the next begins, and, like the

Storing up Moral Force.

Every day you meet dozens of elderly
people in whose face there is no clear in
tell gence, their features wooden or ami
malish. their eyes muddy false. Yet they
were once bright and young as you are
they dreamed, as you dream, of great and
good things to come. And they had mo-
ments of serious thought and high resolve.
All these damaged old people are so many
once-young. What are the causes of fail
ure? Possibly some of them are victims
of blighting misfortune or injustice; pos
sibly some OF them passed through their
early years without adequate guidance.
wise instruction. or kindly encourage
ment But multitudes have failed from
unfaithfuness to themselves; from an in
every dav MISUNDERSTANDING from some
inward defect.
None of us can live well by an OCCASION
al good resolution. Everything depends
on storing up yourselves an ever increas-
ing fund of moral power, which shall
be ALWAYS available to sustain you in
carving out your better purpose. Unless
we are willing to live as moral tramps on
the brink of inward poverty and mis-
cry we must invest our all in this higher
business, so that every transaction OF life
shall yield us spiritual income. Nothing
is secure until we are established in right
habits. rooted and grounded in heavenly
principles. We want to become fixed and
unchangeably good. This comes from
making the love of good. which is identi-
cal with the love of God, the supreme and
controlling law, the central interest. and
the fountain of motives. We shall do bet
ter than keep ourselves decent; we shall
be purer and truer than the world asks us
to be; we shall require of ourselves a
higher standard than our best friends ex-
pect. We shall be continually transformed
by the renewing of our minds.
The main question is not "What is to
become Of us?'' but What are we to be-
Gomez" Nor is the answer difficult. We
need not wrestle painfully with questions
of doctrine, nor wait to construct creed.
IT we are simply faithful-if we follow
the light that God gives, if we are humble
enough to learn from all sources, and vet
firmly true to reason and conscience-we
cannot miss the road; we shall move
toward our true place in the universe
