A Horrible Story.

I read, or rather had read TO me. the

Grifflths Wainewright. II was out OF

be no doubt of his identity When
Wainwright was released from
prison, 1t appears that for somo time
he acted as a kind OF assistant surgeon
at hospital. To dissatisfaction man,
hated by Wainewright, was brought
In q dying condition. Just before he
yielded up the ghost scene took
place, which, ms an example of un-
abated revengefulness, surpasses any-
thing / ever heard before.
Wainwright gained admission 10
the mans bedside, and, in piercing
whisper, loud enough TO be heard by
the next patient, said; "Listeni ]
have one word % say to you before
you die" The dying patient, as II
suddenly magnetizcd, lifted his weary
eyes and stared at tho person who ad.
dressed linn. "In Ave minutes" said
his malignant tormentor, ''your soul
will be in hell, and before your body
Is cold, my dissecting knife will be in

Yes, something won;
The agony,
New system Of reiegraphy.

DIR. J. Harris Rogers, of Washing
ton, is responsible for new telegraph
invention, which will be known as
visual synchronism. The discovery
consists of a method by which two
wheels, thousands of miles apart, may
be kept revolving in perfect unison,
and the application consists in the
ability to print and transmit from one
wheel to another about $50 words a
minute. BY means of small instru-
ment with ten keys a message is first
perforated ON a tape. This tape runs
through telegraphic instrument, and
the perforations permit small steel fin
gers to make electrical connections
with an ordinary telegraph wire, which
in its turn connects with the receiver
on the other distant wheel, and infu-
ences ten magness provided with
curves and strokes, which combine to
form Roman letters in accordance with
the original perforations.
The two indicators or wheels which
actually form the visual synchronism
give 900 revolutions O minute, and
each revolution forms letter. This
gives about $50 words minute. The
Morse characters have to bc inter-
preted, but as visual synchronomic
messages come out in Roman letters,
much labor is saved. "Autographic
biography" said Mr.. Rogers, invent
ed by the famous electrician, Bake
well, about thirty years ago, and af-
terward improved upon by Father
Secchi, Edison, Gray and Sawyer,
failed in practical applications for
want of tho rapid synehronism now
introduced by me. With the aid Of
the new discovery it may now be util-
lied. New York Tribune.

observation of an eclipse Of the sun ever

The following question was recently
submitted to the Hon. Stephen Van

is of national fame.

and through it upon the nerves and

stocks or grain on the floor of the ex-
change, or on the street, or both"

Quick Repairing.

The steamship Monkseaton, of New
castle, which lost three blades of her
propeller when on voyage from
Liverpool to New York, was placed on
the pontoon dock belonging to the
Wallsend Pontoon company, limited,
with 1000 tons of cargo on board, and
her stern raised out of the water suffi-
ciently high to allow the broken pro-
peller to be unshipped and new one
fitted in its place. The operation OF
tipping the vessel took one and half
hours, and the whole time occupied in
raising her and changing the propel-
lers was only twenty-three hours.
The Monkseaton is vessel of 1900
tons gross tonnage, and the saving of
time and money secured by her not
having to discharge her cargo must
have been very considerable. -Scien-
