Elanhanta in Ale Nnraaru.

The Siamese obtain considerable
services from these animals. They
use them almost as domestics, and
especially for taking care OF chill
dren; they take them up with their
trunks and put them to bed
and rock them to sleep, and when
mamma wants them, she has only
to order the elephant to 60 and
bring them TO her. Numerous in
stances which testify to their intel
iigence and docility are well known.
H"Can any one believe this which a
Siamese King reported of one on
which he was mounted? asks Vic
tor Meunier in his Great Hunts -
This elephant had not long since
a groom who had famished him by
depriying him of a portion of the
food allotted to him. The ami
NAL had no other means of COM
planning but his cries, and made
such-a horrible noise that he could
be heard all through the palace.
Not being able%o divine the cause
of his crying SO loudly, but sus-
pecting the real cause, 1 gave him
another groom, who, being more
faithful and having given him
without wrong, his full measure Of
rice, the elephant divided it into
two parts with his trunk, and wheT
he had eaten one half he set up bic
cry again, indicating thereby so all
who ran to see him what was the
matter, the lnfidelity of the frs
groom, who acknowledged hil
crime, for which l caused him to b.
severely chastised.'

New Method for protecting Iron.

A new method, which promises
to be easier of application than any
previous, has been lately brought
out by M. A. De Meritens, the we'll
known electrician, and if it succeeds
as well in the hands of the public
as it does with the inventor, should
find a very extended application.
The article to be protected is plac-
ed in bath of ordinary or distill-
ed water, at a temperature of from
TOO to 500 Centigrade 1850 to 1859
Fab. }, and an electric current Is
sent through. The water is decom-
posed into its elements, oxygen and
hydrogen, and the oxygen is depos-
tied on the metal, while the hydro
gen appears at the other pole, which
may either be the tank in which the
operation is conducted or plate OF
carbon or metal. The current has
only sufficient electromotive force
to overcome the resistance of the
circuit and to decompose the water
for if it be stronger than this, the
oxygen combines with the iron tt
produce a pulverulent oxide which
has no adherence. If the condi
tions are as it should be, it is only
few minutes before the darkenins
of the surface shows that the ga
has united with the iron to form
the magnetic oxide Fe 0, which i
is well known will resist the action
of the air and protect the metal be
meath it. After the action has con
tinued an hour or two the coating
is sufficiently solid to resist tn
scratch brush, and it will then tax
brilliant polish.
The process is simple and de
mands but little skill in its execu
ton. Now that dynamo machine
have superseded batteries as sour
ces of electricity, all that is requir
ed is a tank, quantity of distille,
water and little power to driV
the machine

Attractive Advertisements.

Those advertisements, which Of
fer to young women, and men also,
a chance of making handsome in
come at their own homes, with all
materials and work sent to and fro,
post paid, by nail, are inquired
about by many. Months ago we
asked those, who had obtained en-
ployment by answering such adver-
tisements, to give US the result. We
have not yet had a favorable reply.
The work offered is colorlng photo
graphs in various styles, and in
painting velVets and other fabrics
in imitation OF some kind of course
embroidery. The suspicious feature
about these advertisement is, that
they came from Boston, Phlladel-
phia and other cities in which a
single advertisement in the daily
papers would bring operatives by
the thousand and all the heavy cost
of postage be saved. There is milk
in that Observation-Disclosures.

Care Of Animals IN Summer.

The American Humane Associa-
ton presents the following sugges-
tions relative to the care of animals
during the heated term:
Provide water-fresh, pure wa
ter. Think, reader, how you are
refreshed by a drink of cool water
on a hot day. The lower ami
mails are equally in need of the
means of quenching thirst.
The active dog requires drink
frequently during the hot day, as
does also the cat; and dish of
fresh water should stand where they
can have access to it. Undoubted-
ly many a dog is driven to mad
ness through lack of water; and the
testimony is that hydrophobia is
almost unknown in those localities
where dogs can drink when they
wish.
Every city, village, and country
town should be literally supplied
with drinking fountains for animals,
and they should be so constructed
that even the smallest dogs can
drink from them. No GIFT to a
people confers greater pleasure
than a fouD5ain, and that person
who turns aside stream from the
field and gives a watering trough
to the roadside, or provides a
fountain at which man and beast
can drink pure water, is truly a
public benefactor.
Give the horse frequent opportu-
nifty to quench thirst at times when
not too much overheated, and be-
fore eating. To drink Immediately
after eating prevents favorable
digestion of food.
Provide shade. How instructive
Iy we seek the shadows when the
sun is pouring it's hot rays on the
dry and parching earth! If the
pasture is not provided with shade
trees, in a convenient locality set
four six or eight supports, across
which place straw or grass, and
thus in brief time and with little
labor, make shade in which ami
mails can rest from the heat of the
sun, to the great comfort of them
selves and benefit to- their owners.
Remove the harness from the
horses in the hot day whenever you
desire to give them full free rest,
and once during the day, preferably
at night, thorough currying and
grooming will not only give rest,r
but will do about as much toward
the animals condition
as will the oats.
Examine the harness on your
working team, and you will discov-
er that blinds, check reins and
cruppers are simply torturing con-
trivances, serving no useful pur-
pose. Take them all off for TIE
convenience of yourselves and the
comfort of the horses. Keep the
stable we'll ventilated and free from
the strong monia, which is ihju.
rious to the eyes. Assist the ami
mails to protect themselves against
flies, feed regularly, hitch in the
shade, and remember that the care
which will give comfort to the
lower animals will make them doub
ly profitable to their owners, aside
from the human bearing upon the
suhiect. Scientific American.

Safety is commonly promoted by
a sense of danger. Caution is an
accompaniment to courage. Not
he who is sure that he will never
fall or fail stands firmest in the
hour of peril; but he who realizes
the Necessity of watchfulness at ev-
cry step and on every side, and who
knows that he will surely be over
thrown unless he is alert, andis
persistently determined. He who
feels that he is in no danger of be-
ing overcome by love of drink, if
he is is not a total abstainer, is
by his very confidence in peculiar
periL-S. S. Times.

wonderful work Of the Graphophone.


When Edison invented his won
derful photograph, and gave exhi-
billions here of its capacity to re-
produce sound, the liveliest inter-
est was exhibited, and further i'm
provement anticipated. This was
half-dozen years ago, but so far
as known, Eddison, occupied with
his other multitudinous schemes
and inventions has let the phono-
graph go. 1t was rather a cnmber.
some, complicated piece of mechan
ism, and it only recorded the sound
of the human voice when the tones
were very loud. What Edison has
not done has been attempted, and
with remarkable success, by anoth-
er inventor, who claims that even
more yet may be accomplished. IA
evening or two since a private exhi-
bition was given by Prof. fainter
of the capacities of the graphic
phone, the joint invention of him
self and the Bells. The graphic
phone is a cunning looking little
machine, which would about go in
the pocket of great coat. 1t seems
to consist of small.brass cylinder
mounted on rubber bound wheels
and inclosed in a hollow tube of
wax. When ready for operation, a
gutta -percha tube, ending in tin
trumpet like the ordinary ear trum-
pet, is fastened to the wax tube,
the wheel is turned, and he who
stands by talks or sings in his usu-
al tone of voice, just as he likes,
rot louder than ordinary, or con-
versation is carried on between
two, three or more persons. The
tube is removed, another one of
similar Appearances attached, the
wheel is again turned, and those
standing around hear distictly the
words and the tones which have
Just been uttered. The retaining
power of the box tube which re-
ceives the wave sounds seems to
have no limit, as the conversation,
or the speech or the song is repeat
ed as many times as desired. The
inventors have also manufactured
discs of metal which are capable
of taking the wave sounds.

Let those who think they know
without ever having looked to see,
review their supposed knowledge
and cast their thoughts over again /;
and if, in the particulars they find
they have mistaken words and
fancies for realities, and accepted
the dicts of pretenders instead of
the evidence of observed facts, let
them correct the record and ac-
knowledge the truth as it is in ma
tuTe. Moreover, let them remember
that he who propogates delnsion
and he who connives at one when
already existing, both alike tam
per with the truth, and that we
must neither lead nor leave men to
mistake falsehood for truth. Not
to uRdeceive is to deceive.-Dr. Il.

The neurology of the past year

Der of distinguished men whose de-
parture seems to mark the passing
away of political generation. II
is but a year since the great hero
of the war period was laid at rest.
His death was followed at no long
interval by the passing away of
Mcclellan, Seymour and Hancock,
who were all in their time candi-
dates of one of the great political
parties for the presidency. Within
the week has died Mr.. Tilden, who
also received the nomin alton of his
party for the presidency and who
was without doubt the most con-
spicious and influential leader of
the party since the war. These and
other signs remind US that we are

where new questions ara to be set
tied by a younger generation of
men.-Bradstree
