The Perfected Phonoeraph.

The perfected photograph will repeat speech in a clear and distinct manner. The first photograph would not work successful. ly, and it was found hard to make an ade- quate impression upon the foil sheet, which received the marks from the needle carried by the diaphragm. The new photograph consists of a revolving cylinder, and a side movement is governed by 0 fine thread, so that fixed pencil would trace upon the cyl finder & spiral, and the lines would almost touch. An electric motor is used to turn the cylinder, and this is done in such a manner that no noise is heard. Uoon the cylinder is placed a soft substance which reser u,es wax, and the vibrations of the diaphragm are marked upon it. A touch of small spring will set the photograph in motion. They arc made in a convenient form, so that they can be carried around in the pocket. There is very little machinery about the pkonograph
 and the cost is small It can be used for 6 variety of purposes and in the place of a stenographer The mouthpiece has a con
 denser, which gathers in the sound from a large area Whether the new phonograpt
 will be of any commercial value is a question that will have to be answered after it has beer given a thorough test.-Deanorest's Monthly

 A few seconds passed. Larouette arose and, standing near his secretary, closed the drawers and locked them with slow, method- lcal movements Suddenly something passed behind him which he did not perceive, but which from their balcony Henriette and Suzanne saw. The door at the back opened softly, without noise evidently, as Larouette heard nothing, and a man, who looked tall and robust, suddenly appeared behind him, with his back turned to the window. Almest falling forward from the balcony, Henrietts watched him with dilated eyes. What was about to happen therea Was that really Rogera The man lifted his two arms above the bare head of the miser Laronette.

Opium and Deprayity.

What connection there is, or rather why there is any connection, between the green goods game and the opium habit could not attempt to say; but it is worthy of note that several of the swindlers picked up by the po- lice are "opium fiends" also. In one of the places raided complete opium layout was found, and in others there were strong indi- cations of opium, with all that the word inn plies. In several instances the detectives were begged, beseeched, implored by their captives to be allowed to take some opium to the station houses, so that they might make themselves comfortable The sharpers seemed more alarmed at the prospect of be- ing deprived of their opium than the possi- blllty of having to serve a term in prison. "For Gods sake," one exclaimed, 'let me take along just little. I could not live through the night without it"
 All the doctors say that opium produces wholesale depravity, but most of these swindlers must have been pretty thoroughly depraved before they began using the drug. They were born that way One member of batch captured yesterday is the son of a man who held prominent place in the com munity dozen years ago. He never would do any honest work, and the police have had an eye on him for years. Nine-tenths of the swindlers are fellows of this kind, worthless, and crooked by nature, and bound to be criminals in some sense, anyway. Nearly aD of them live in furnished rooms or cheap flats, and they are seldom at home except al night. Their business is carried on entirely by mail, and most of them get their letters al cigar stores and ''private" postoffice boxes in other stores, where they pay for the privilege of an address. These ''private" boxes are found all over the city, and they all receive a great deal of mail matter that is off color every way, and fit only for the fire.-New York Cor. Detroit Free Press.

THAT PRECIOUS BIBLE.

Reward of the Boy who Failed to Keep
 His Promfse-A Sermon.
 John Kinney, of the firm of Kinney & Ransome, tells little story about himself which may strike familiar vein in some other mans experience. stWhen was O young chap" says he, "I got the Pike's Peak fever along with lot moro of the men and the boys of our town, and as I was pretty hard to manage around home, and as some staid old friends of my fathers were going to the new gold country, it was concluded that should go with them. When we were all ready to shut my trunk and lock it my mother, who, bless her, was more than half afraid to have me go out into that rough country, brought a handsome clasp Bible out of her bedroom and laid it in my trunk on top of the other things.
 "'Now, Johnnie,' said she, T want you to promise me that you will read this Bible every day.
 Of course will, mother.'I said; T will read it every chance have.'
 And, Johnnie,' said she T want you to study well the sermon on the mount. It will do you good You will find it in St Mat thew and St. Mark and St. Luke and St. John, but the best IS in St. Matthew. You will read it often, won't you, Johnniea
 II promised everything, and meant to keep my promise, too. But somehow never did. never opened the Bible; never even undid the clasp. After had been at Pike,s Peak some time, and spent nearly all the money that my father had given to one of his old friends for me, started with what was left to come home. joined a party that was coming home, but they left me at the Missouri crossing and had terrible time from that on. I ran out of money and then spent all could borrow on such valua- oles as could pawn. Iwould have sold that Bible dozen times if I could have found anybody to buy it. We'll, after heap of walking and all sorts of hardship finally reached home. After the kissing and the talking was over my mother began unpack. ing the little handbag had brought back in the place of the trunk took away. In the bottom of it she found the little clasp Bible. "'Your Bible looks as if you hadn't used ii much,' she said.
 ".Yes,' said l, I took very good care of it. Did you read it, JohnnieP she asked. "'Of course did; read it every day. "'You read the Sermon on the Mount then, did your she asked, with a kind of pc culiar expression in her eyes. Yes, very often.'
 ''Then she opened tho Bible to St. Matthew and there lay the s20 bill she had put between the leaves. There was S10 bill, too, in eacf St. Mark, St. Luke and St John-$50 in al and would have given every cent of it tt have been out of that room.
 CT told you St Matthew had the best ac count of the Sermon on the Mount, was all my mother said about the matter. "-Chicag, Newa

Books for the Insane.

Some weeks ago we published a short ap- peal suggesting that books should be con- tributed to the insane asylums of the coun try, in order to form libraries for the unfor- tunate inmates. Already one result of the suggestion has been heard from as off as Texas. The North Texas asylum at Terrel is now forming a library, and has sent. our edi- torial with comments to the local journal, which published it as an appeal to the public of Texas for this most deserving charity. The asylum has now nearly 300 books as nucleus of library, and receives regularly over 7S newspapers. Besides, these, hundreds of copies of periodicals have been donated to it This we cite as an instance of what can and should be done in this direction. Almost every house has some books to spare, which are of no value to any one. Many would be glad to directly foster such work were their attention called to it. Unfortunately, every state can find plenty of field within its own borders for the exercise of this labor of love. We hope that the work now inaugurated may be continued, and that an insane asylum without books may soon be unknown in America.-Scientif1c American.

hands all around, General Harrison and
Judge Woods sought the retirement of the
