Contracts By Telephone.

The Missouri Court of Appeals has
rendered a decision to the effect that
contracts made through the telephone
are binding. This ruling is a common
sense one. The telephone is an instru-
ment for transmitting the human voice.
II 1t can be be assumed that it fulfils its
pIurpose-and no contrary contention is
alieged--it is practically simply
means of extending the area of audibil-
lty. No court would hold that the fact
that contact was made between two
persons talking across a wide room i'm
Peached its validity. Providing that
Che telephone enables intelligible con-
versation to be carried on at q distance
there can be no ground for Questioning
the legitimacy of its employment for
al! purposes of business, and in fact for
all purposes to which the human voice
contributes.

A MECHANICAL MILLENNIUM.

We quote farther, from DR.. Talmaoo
in his sermon noticed above, where he
refers to somebody's plan to make this
earth a paradise:
Mr.. Ecsler, of England, had theory
that if the natural forces of wind and
tide and sunshine and wave were
rightly applied, and developed. it
would make this whole earth a para
disc. In book of great genins. and
which rushed from edition to edition
he said Fellow men l promise to
show the means of creating paradise
within ten years, where everything de-
slrable for human life may be had bv
every man inSuperabundance without
labor and without pay-where the
whole face of nature shall be changed
into the most beautiful forms, and man
may live in the most magnificent pala-
ces, in all imaginable relinements of
luxury, and in the most delightful gar
aeps-where he may accomplish with
out labor in one year more than hith-
erto could be done in thousands of
years, and may level continent, sink
valleys, create lakes, drain lakes and
swamps, and intersect the land everv-
where with beautiful canals, and roads
for transporting heavy loads of many
thousand tons, and for travelling a
thousand miles in twenty-fOur hours.
From the house to be built will be
afforded the most cultured views to be
fancied. From the galleries, from the
roof, and from the turrets NAV be seen
gardens as far as the eye can see, full
of fruits and flowers, arranged in the
most beautiful order, with walks, col
lonnades, aqueducts, canals, ponds,
plains, amphitheatres, terraces, foun-
tains, sculptured works, paviions, gon-
dolas, places of popular amusement to
tire the eye and the fancy. All this to
be done by urging the water, the wind,
and the sunshine to their full develop
ment"

machinery by which this work is to be
done, and he says he only needs at the
start company in which the shares
shall be $50 each, and 100000 or $780,
QUO shall be raised just to make a speci-
men community, and then this being
formed the world will see its practical
bility, and very soon 100000 or So
100000 can be obtained and in ten
years the whole earth will be empara-
dised! The plan is not so preposterous
as some / have heard of But l will
take no stock in that company. do
not believe it will ever be done in that

machinery that the human mind can
