A WONDERFUL INVENTION.

Professor Elisha Gray. of Chicago, who
claims to have invented the telephone,
has just completed another invention
which he calls the telautegraph which
promises to be equally as important.
He says by this invention you can sit in
your office and write a message to any
person at any place with which you may
be in communication by wire, and as
your pencil paoves, another pencil at the
place where you desire the message sent
moves simultaneously and forms the
same letters and words in the same way,
or in other words a facsimile of what
you write is reproduced at the other end
Of the line. You may write in any Ian.
guage or in cipher and an exact copy is
reproduced. By this device an artist
can telegraph his pictures as reporter
,telegraphs his description in words.
The two pencils move spontaneously and
leave record at both ends and there
cannot be any dispute about what is said.
The instrument used for transmitting
messages of this character will not cost
more than twenty dollars and is easily
kept in order, and if it accompanies all
that it's inventor claims it will doubtless
be generally used by business and pro.
fessional men where there are telegraph
lines.

SHERMAN AND ALLISON.

Senator Sherman of Ohio and Senator
Allison of Iowa are now fairly started in
the race for the Republican nomination
for President. Sherman has Ohio at his
back and Iowa has declared fer Allison.
Sherman was the father of the act of 1873
which demonetized silver and stopped its
free coinage at the mints, while Allison
took a hand in framing the Standard
Dollar act of 1873, by proposing the Sen.
ate amendments to the Bland bill. Though
both are avowed Republicans, they differ
on the tariff question as mach as Randall
and Carlisle. Sherman is high tariff
man, and Allison is said to be an honor
airy member of the English Golden Club.
Allison is popular in the Northwestern
States, where the agricultural interest
predoninates, and nearly all favor tariff
reduction, while Sherman is stronger in
the East, where high tariff views prevail.

PENSION FRAUDS.

The reports which, came from Wash
ington, that conspiracy to defraud the
Government by false pension claims
had been discovered at Elmira, New
York, are confirmed. A year or two
ago the investigation of the case of Pat
terson, who received several thousand
dollars pension, though it was afterwards
proved that he had never been in the
army, showed to what extent the Govern
ment might be defrauded by pension
claims based upon perjured testimony.
Tae frauds then disclosed caused the
Government to continue the investiga-
tien which resulted in the discovery of a
widespread conspiracy to plumber the
treasury through the Pension office.
Sufficient facts have now been ascertained
to convict the conspirators and whole
sale arrests are expected in few days.

Shakespeare and Bacon.

No author probably ever set greater
store than Bacon upon the produce OF bis
brain or was at more pains to see that 1T
was neither mangled nor misrepresented
by careless printing or editing. Neither
is there the slightest reason to believe
that he did not take good care-nay, on
the contrary, that he was net of especial
pains to insure-that the world should be
informed of everything he had written
which he deemed worthy to be preserved.
Two years before Bacon made his will
the first or 1923 folio Of Shakespeare
plays was published, with the following
title page: "Mr William shakespeare

gard and Ed. Blount, 1928" 1t was q
portly volume of nearly one thousand
pages, and must have taken many months,
probably the best part of year, to
set up in types and get printed off.
The printing of similar folios in those
days was marked by anything but exem-
plary accuracy. But this volume abounds
to such excess in typographical flaws OF
every kind that the only conclusion in
regard to it which can be drawn is that
the printing was not superintendent by

The sedimentary rocks in their great

ings down to the subterransan waters,
which it causes to jet ap to the surface
and sometimes to considerable height
above. The thought Of undertaking such
works is a very ancient one. The Egyp.
tians had recourse to them forty centuries
ago; and they were executed in France in
1926 at Artois, whence the name Of arte-
sian wells have been given to them.
The water levels Of the cretaceous
strata, from which the French artesian
waters issue, are not always of advantage;
but in the north of France and in Belgium
they constitute the most formidable oh.
stacle which miners have to encounter in
reaching the coal beds.
A striking confirmation of the theory
of the source Of supply OF the artesian
waters has been observed in Tours, where
the water, spouting with great velocity
from q we'll one hundred and ten metres
in depth, brings up, together with fine
sand. fresh water shells and seeds in such
a state of preservation as to show that
they could not have been more than three
or four months on their voyage. Some
of the wells of the Wady Rir have also
elected fresh water mollusks, fish and
crabs, still living, which must, therefore,
have made a still more rapid transit.

THE OCEANS WAVES.


Exaggerated Notions as 70 Ineir MeASht'
THE Scotsman
1t is very common phrase to speak OF
the waves during storm as running
mountains high" but this really means
nothing. Accurate measurements made
by Scorseby prove that during storms
waves in the Atlantic rarely exceed 43
feet frem hollew to crest. the distance
between the crests being $50 feet and
their speed 32a miles an hour. More re.
cent observations in the Atlantic give
from Al to As feet as the highest meas
ured waves, but such heights are rarely
reached, and, indeed, waves exceed 90
feet are very seldom encountered. The
monsoon waves at Kurrachee breakwater
works are found to dash over the wall to
the depth of Is feet or about 40 feet
above mean level.
The greatest height of waves on the
British coast were those observed In Wick

heavy seas which roll into it-being 373

water at intervals of from seven to ten
minutes, each wave, it was estimated,
being mass of 40, 900 tons of water, and
this continuously for three days and
nights. The iron pile lighthouse erected
on the Bishop rock was carried away by
unbroken seas striking the dwelling, the
floor of which was IS feet above high
water. A tower of granite was subse-
quently erected on the Bishop, and in
1860 the waves carried away the fog bell,
weighing 300 pounds, at an elevation OF
100 feet above the sea. In the Shetland
islands blocks of stone have been quarried
at the height of 20 to Is feet above the
mean sea level.
But these instances of the action of the
waves during storms sink into insignif.
canoe when it is mentioned that blocks
of concrete weighing 1850 to 2600 pounds,
respectively, were carried away by the re-
peated assaults of the wild rollers of
Wick bay. The depth to which wave
action extends has been differently esti-
mated, but it varies from 20 to $50 feet,
as shelfish which are known only at
these depths are thrown upon the
shore during heavy gales, and it has been
ascertained that shingle is moved in
depth of fifty feet. For all practical
purposes, however, 80 far as harbor
works are concerned, it is found that
there is little movement Of materials un-
der eighteen to twenty feet below water,

constructed not having been disturbed
