A recent Italian scientific paper re-
ports that Americans have recently
found it to be practicable to apply the
photograph to locomotive whistles.
Whether this statement has any
foundation or not makes no differ
ence; the idea is worthy Of American
genius.
What q convenience it would be to
have the whistle shout, in astentorian
voice, "Hoosac Junction. Ten min
utes for refreshmentsl" How it would
save the brakeman his indistinct enun-
ciationl What a pleasure to all trav-
elers, if the conventional old lady were
periodically informed that the train
was Just two minutes late, and there
was no ice water in the baggage carl
But since it has been found that, by
the mere substitution Of metallic
cylinder for a wax one, it can be made
to talk loudly, there is no end to the
possible uses to which it may be put.
Hitherto it has been proposed to en-
ploy it only as substitute for the To-
quacious reporter in his various capaci-
ties.
But now we may at any time ex-
pect to see the deaf and dumb mute
listening to a conversation through
the medium Of an audiphone, and re-
plying in perfect English, with an in
strument which is a storehouse Of
syllables, manipulated as one would
manipulate the characters in q type
writer. One key may supply him
with a ripping laughter for frivolous
occasions, while another enables him
to furnish with condoling, sympa-
thetic signs weeping mourner.
Again, upon ringing the door bell
at the house of our friend of modern
ideas, we need not be surprised if the
door panel informs us that our friend
has just gone down to the Office, but
that his wife will be glad to see us

Simple Relief Operations.

There are many simple operations
which the physician might often en-
ploy to the great relief Of his patients,
which, however, are resisted through
ignorance Of their nature and who'll
" erroneous idea OF the attendant
dangers. Among such operations is
tapping the abdomen where the bow.
els are much distended with gas and
relief in the natural way is difficult or
impossible, owing to some obstruction.
This operation has for years been prac-
ticed by veterinaries in their treat
ment Of animals, especially in what
passes under the head Of colo. Farm
ers themselves often resort to it when
cows are so attacked, and the instru-
ment sometimes used by them is the
small blade Of a jack knife. As it is
performed on the human person it ID
very simple and practically safe, and
when a physician Of repute advises it
the patient or his friends ought not to
impose any objection. The relief it
affords is always immediate and quite
complete, at least for time. Physi-
clans use what is known q q trocar.
That is a quite sharp pointed rod, over
which is nicely fitted thin metallic
tube. Both the tube apd the ROD are
pressed through the abdominal wall
and into the intestine; then the rod is
withdrawn, leaving the tube for the
gas to pass out Of. After it has all
been evacuated the tube is withdrawn.
The trocar used for the purpose is
always small one, and the hole
made by it closes completely OH its
removal. The same sort of instrument,
but Of larger size, is used in tapping
the abdomen where the same is dis
tended with dropsical effusion. It
is poor time to familiarize Q patient
with an operation when it has become
imperative. OF such - are often de-
manded, people should have at least q
general idea, then they will not Be

An extremely stout, choleric old

Tuning over q lot Of papers and swear

temper, for things had gone wrong
ever since morning, and now and then
he cast his eyes about as If in search
OF something to kick as an outlet for

through the door.

The society Of London offers NO
more striking or interesting figure
than that Of Robert Browning. It may
safely be alleged that no one meeting
him for the first time, and unfurnish-
ed with q clew, would guess his voca-
ton. He might be diplomatist .
statesman, q discoverer or man OF
science. But whatever were his CALI
ings, we must feel that It must be e.
sentially practical. OF the disordered
appearance, the unconventional do
meanor, the rapt and mystic air,
which we assume to be characteristic
Of the poet, he has absolutely none.
And his conversation corresponds to
his appearance. It abounds in vigor,
in fire, in vivacity. It is always gem
timely interesting, and often striking
" eloquent. Yet all the time it is en-
tirely free from mystery, vagueness or
technical jargon. It is the crisp, en-
phatic and powerful discourse of q man
Of the world, who is comparably bet
ter informed than the mass Of his con.
geners.
Mr.. Browning is the readiest, the
blithest and the most forcible Of talk
ers. Like the monsignore in 10.
THAR" he can sparkle with anecdote,
and blaze with repartee. and when he
deals in criticism the edge of his
sword is mercilessly whetted against
pretension and vanity. The infection
of the voice. the flash Of the eye, the
pose Of the head, the action Of the
hand, all lend their special emphasis
to the condemnation. II like religion
to be treated seriously" he exclaimed

1T /, predicted and not without

will soon be open to white settle
