The Wonderful GranhaDll0ne.

Few people away from Washington, says correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution, arc aware of tho fact that every word uttered upon tho floor of either House or Senate, when add rcsscl to either speaker or president, is taken down and appears ill the Congressional Record. It is true that much time, moaey, paper and printers ink is wasted by this, lut nevertheless it is a fact. But to do this, of course, TO- quircs tho employment of the most rap id and experienced stcnographcrs. Five of these arc employed upon thefloor of the House simply to tako down the spec ches, debates, etc. Tho chief of tho corps receives a salary of $Gooo, while the other four arc paid 5000 less. These men simply tako down the words in shorthand, working for fifteen minutes each in succession. When each ones fifteen minutes expires he repairs to tho official reporter room, where ten moro stonographcrs arc -employcd-two to each m Ito whom arc read tho re- ports taken on the floor, and who tako copy in shorthand. They then trans late this into long hand, using type writer to prepare the copy for the printer. These men arc paid by space, getting $1 per column in tue Record. The same is also gone through with in the Senate daily.

Hunting the HippopOtamus,

MT. Lohsc has also had exciting times hunting tho rhinoccros. As with the elephants tho young arc run down by horsemcn until they arc exhausted. Tho baby rhinoccros is then lassoed to a trco until its spirit is broken sufficiently to permit of its being driven to tho camp. As in hunting tho other animals there is particular class of trained mcu who go after the rhinoccros. They must be c1p:rt riders, and fully acquainted with tho habits of tho huge, dangerous beasts thoy attack.
 "Aa infuriatcd rhiuoccros," said MT. Lohsc, ''is literally blind with rage" H. puts lis head down, and runs in a bcc line, knocking down rything in his wy. If thcrc was q stono wall in front of him he would smash right up against it. Som, of my Homrahn hunters wounded fcm,lo rhiuoccros one day, when tho brute ran off. Tho men were securing her young when sho suddenly stopped and rushed toward them. It was such an unhcard- of thing for ono Of the animals 10 do, that tho hunters wcrc tckcn completely by sur prise. One of them was caught by her horn and thrown high in tho air. He dropped to the ground, corpse, for tho rhinoceros had discmbowclod him. -lNcw York Sun.

The 0EchO. Maker0

Another device, which may be called the echo-maker, that of Mr. Do la Tore, has been cxaminel by board of naval officers, of which Commander Bainbridgc Hoff, United States Navy, was the head, and report was made to the Navy Department of a asomewhat favorable nature. It may consist of flaring funnel screwed on the muzzlc of a rifl". It is operated by firing tho rihe in the direction of the supposed obsta- cle, such as Q rock, an iceberg, another ship, or cliff. If the obst,clc is there, the beam of sound projected through the funnel strikes the obstacle and re- bounds; and as the echo is moro or less perfect in proportion az the obstacle is more or less parallel to tho ship from which the gun is fired, and as it is near or remote, tho position of tho obstacle may thus Dc inferred. The board re- ported that Dc h Torres method was firing blank cartridge from rifo in tho presence of objects as small as a spar-5uoy and as large as 2 fort, and catching tho r,turn sound or echo. He claims that sharp sound projected at or nearly at an object, and only when 50 dire ctcd, will in every case return some of the sound sent, so that theoretically there will always be an echo, and tho difference in the time between the sound sent and the echo will indicate the rcmotcncss of tic obj,ct. The board found that return sound could Dc h:a-d from tho sid, os a fort half mile off, from passing steam CTS a qu,rtcr mile off if broad silc- to, from bluffs and sails of vessels about the same distance, and from spar buoys two hundred yards aw.y.---lPopu!ar ar Science Mon thly.
