Dancing 10 Photograph Music.

Osgood S. Wiley, who was sent 10
England last September by Thomas A.
Edison as special agent for the recently
invented arc separator, has returned
home. When he sailed for England he
took with him large number of phono
graph cylinders, which created furore
in John Bulls domain. A number OF
receptions were given at the home OF
Colonel Gouard, Edison's foreign agent,
near London. At the first reception the
music employed by Markwith's Fifth
Regiment Band. played into the phono.
graph in Orange, N. j., was reproduced
with such distinctness that the ladies
and gentlemen present danced to the
strains.
A short time ago Mr.. Wiley accepted
an invitation to exhibit the phonograph
at the home of the Prince of Wales, and
there for an entire evening he and mis-
assistants entertained the royal family.

1t is only eighteen years since the first
newspaper was published in Japan, says
Frank g. Carpenter. Still, 81, 600, 600
copies of newspapers were sold in 1884,
and the increase of 1879 was double that
OF 1876. Atprcsent Japan has 575 daily
and weekly newspapers, and its dailles
number nlncty-seven. 1t publishes
thirty-five law magazines and Ill scien.
tliic periodicals. 1t has thirty We medi.
cal Journals and an equal number of frc-
Egious newspapers. Its people read
eight different story papers, and 1O2
papers cater to the agricultural, com.
mercial and industrial classes. 1t has its
I'unct or Puck, and this is filed with car.
toons and witticisms taking off the pub.
lie men of the Mikado Empire lust az
Puck and Judge do those of our Repub-
lie. All of these papers are published in
Japanese. They are read by the natives
of the country, and the work upon them
is done entirely by native labor. They
are the outgrowth of the new civiliza,
ton, and they are the great educators
of the people.
A Japanese newspaper looks strange

general appearance of the paper. If he
could know that each of these letters
represented whole word and that half
dozen of them made u sentence, he
might add TO his conception. His picture
however, would be far from true one
The Japanese papers are the direct op-
posites of ours. The columns run from
right to left across the page instead of
up and down IT. and the lines are per-
pcndicular instead of horizontal. You
begin Mt the top of line to read instead
of at the side, and when you have read
about six inches of these topographic
characters you come to the column line
and go back to the top and read down
again. The columns are twice us wide
