Improving edison. phonoerapb.

Gianni Bettina, formerly lieutenant
of the Italian army, has invented new
photograph which he claims is superior
TO that of Edison. Indeed, the new Bet
tina machine reflects the human voice
with surprising clearness and perfect
sorority, and with such force of sound
that it can be plainly heard by all the
bystanders without need of placing the
trumpet to the ear. AS in the apparatus
Of the phonograph and the graphophone
Of Edison, the modulations of the voice
are noted on the dial by the sonorous
disk by means of needle points, with the
difference that quantity of needle
points, arranged to form rays, gather the
oscillations from various points of the
sonorous disk to a common center,
whence to transmit them together TO the
cylinder.
By this means are attained fullness
of sound, clearness and precision un-
til now obtained neither by the graphic
phone nor the phonograph. Bettina
maintains that by means of this appa-
ratus he can render so per cent. of the
body of sound communicated to it. At
the distance of one hundred feet it can
be heard clearly and distinctly. Bettina
has invented composition much more
sensitive to the infections of the voice,
to be substituted for that of the wax
cylinder. New York Telegram.

A Ghastly Banuuet.

April never comes but that l think Of
prominent local politician of the west
side, who was born in this month, and
who, some years ago, left one of the odd
est wills on record. Among its curious
provisions were that, instead of being
buried, he should be dissected, and his
skeleton carefully preserved and mount
ed; that on the skull should be written
the names of the five women he had
loved during his lifetime, and upon his
birthday a supper party should be held
by his friends, at which his skeleton
should be brought out and christened
with champagne.
He left small fortune, and his in
structions aro followed out to the letter
every year. His friends include score
Of physicians, writers and politicians,
who meet on his birthday night, have a
good supper, at which his skeleton oc-
cupies chair, and, when the toasts be-
gin, they pour q glass of wine over the
vanished skull. The names are still
there, but blurred and faint, though,
strange to say, not one OF the bearers OF
them is yet dead. When the conviviali-
ties are over the remains are locked up
for another year. The friends, however,
are passing away, and of the original
forty only twenty-seven remain.-New

All Solid Men.

The Tbrall family, of Windsor, Conn,
are all solid folks. There were nine per-
sons in the household band at the start,
eight boys and one girl, and the COM
bined weight of the nine was 2,22S
pounds. The eldest boy, Charles, died
thirty years ago, and his weight was 200
pounds. Then Laura died; weight, 24S
pounds. Horace is SO years old, hale
and strong, and he weighs 265 pounds.
Oliver is go and weighs 288; Joseph is So
and his weight is 248. Thomas, who was
first selectman Of his town for several
years, died eighteen months ago. His
weight was 1858 pounds. Ed is 4S years
old and weighs 24O pounds. Samuel, the
lightest boy in the family, weighs ITO
pounds. William, the youngest, weighs
an even 200 pounds. All the boys are in
good health and still accumulating solid
tissue.-Exchange.

Hou.atonIe Dam oul,. Roartnr.


Ever since the great dam across the
Housatonic river at Birmingham, Conn,
was built, fifteen years ago, the people
on both sides Of the river have been an
noyed by the rattle and shake Of their
doors and windows, due to the trembling
Of the earth from the weight of the fall
ing water. r
Recently it has been noticed that the
jarring had ceased entirely. This new
experience was at first almost as bad as
the jar. People had become accustomed
to go to sleep by the roar of the dam and
the shaking of their windows, and they
were wakeful and restless without it.
On top of the dam have always been
placed in dry weather hashboards about
eighteen inches high to increase the
storage capacity. In the winter these
are taken off to allow the ice to float over
without injury to the dam. These fash
boards are held in place by hundreds Of
upright iren rods, which were this season
left in place by some carelessness. 1t is
noticed now that the immense volume of
water flowing over the dam does not fall
in solid column to the apron below, but
is divided and broken up into spray like
sheets, which strike with Kissing noise
instead Of a roar.

The Suicide club, Of Bridgeport, formed
fiveyears ago in fun rather than in earn
est, has been reduced to only one mem.
Der by aremarkable faithfulness in carry
ing out the condition that one member Of
the club year should commit suicide.
When the annual meeting was held in
January there were only two members to
attend it, the secretary and the president.
The former, Wendell Baum, committed
suicide few weeks ago in New York,
and now the president alone remains. It
was voted at this meeting by the secre-
tary that the president should make
away with himself during the year, and
by the president that the secretary do 80,
and, there being no better way to settle
it, it was mutually decided that the polls
be held open until a new member was
pledged and initiated.
A letter carrier named Mayby talked
seriously Of becoming a member, and the
president and secretary had great hopes
Of him until one morning it was learned
that he had committed suicide. He car
ried, however, handsome silk umbrella,
which he bequeathed to the secretary Of
the club, Wendell Baum, and it was ac-
cepted. But the more Baum carried the
umbrella the more unhappy he became,
and when his friends tried to cheer him
up he said: "a cloud hangs over me;
am doomed" Finally he sold his prop
erty, turned the money over to his wife,
and, going to New York, gave the um-
brella into the charge Of friend, direct
ing that it be sent to the president of the
club. He then cut his throat. Since
then the umbrella has been uncalled for,
and the president of the Suicide club
will probably disband.-Springfield Re-

Too Familiar with tho Near.

Hilbert Connover, boy employed as
assistant animal keeper in Wonderland,
lies in bed nursing his badly lacerated
body. It was at high noon, when the
chief keeper had gone to dinner, that
Hilbert, in violation of orders to keep
away from the cages, tried his hand at
animal training in company with an
other boy about his own age. Armed
with stiff rawhide they entered the
den of the smaller Of the two bears and
began to lash him and try to teach him
tricks. This was something new to
bruin, who showed his teeth and resent
ed the intrusion. gfif5 4
The next thing Connover knew he was
lying face downward ON the floor of the
cage, with the bear ON top trying to
make meal off the heshiest portion Of
the boys body, while the ether young
ster piled the whip in vain effort to
choke off the animal. Connover's vigor-
GUS cries for help were heard by Stage
Manager Frank Hall, who succeeded in
rescuing him.
Connover now lies face downward in
bed, an when he gets up he will doubt
less for awhile take his meals standing.

Medicine in Vegetables.

The following information may be USE
full to some at this season of the year, if
not new to many: Spinach has direct
effect upon the kidneys. A common
dandelion used as greens is excellent for
the same trouble. Asparagus purges the
blood. Celery acts admirably upon the
nervous system, and is cure for rheu-
matism and neuralgia. Tomatoes act
upon the liver. Beets and turnips are
excellent appetizers. Lettuce and Gu
cumbers are cooling in their effects upon
the system. Onions, garlic, leeks, olive
and shallots, all of which are similar,
possess medicinal virtue of marked
character, stimulating the circulatory
system and the consequent increase in
the saliva and the gastric juice, promot-
ing digestion. Red onions are an excel.
lent diuretie, and the white ones are rec
commended to be eaten raw as remedy
for insomnia. Asoup made from onions
is regarded by the French as an excel
lent restorative in debility of the diges-
tive organs. New York Herald.

After Nearly Thirty Years.

The Georgia papers are fertile in won
derful stories. One Of the latest is to the
effect that early in 1851 young farmer
Of Bullock erected house for himself
and bride. The kitchen was a log one,
with one of the old fashioned hard clay
floors. He had built over a gopher hole,
and Of course the hole was filed up and
the owner was forgotten. The farmer
went off to the war, and when he came
back he found some charred timbers
which Sherman had left. The house was
rebuilt and the dirt floor was still feat
ure. Last week the wife was sitting by
window, and happening to look down
upon the kitchen floor was astonished
to see signs of disturbance underneath.
The other members of the family were
called, and they witnessed his gophership
emerging from his long sleep Of twenty
nine years.

Explorations In Mexico.

Frank G. Baker and Professor Angelo
Heilprin, representing the expedition
which was sent out by the Academy Of
Natural Sciences of Philadelphia last
February for the exploration of the less
known regions of Mexico and Yucatan,
report interesting discoveries. Baro-
metric observations place beyond ques-
ton the claim of Orizaba to the first
place among the giant volcanoes of
Mexico, contrary to the notion which in
Mexico and in most geographical treat
ises accords this position to the famous
Popocatapetl. It has been determined
that the peak of Orizaba the "Star
Mountain rises to the height of no less
than $4,000 feet. Comparatively little
discomfort arising from rarefied atmos-
phere was experienced during the as
cent of three volcanic giants in that To-
cality, the lowest of which rises nearly
1,50O feet above the level of Mt. Blanc
Exchange.

Automatic Photorrnpi ing.

The latest development of the penny
automatic delivery box Is a machine for
taking portraits, which viii shortly be
competing in railway stations and other
public places with the sweetmeat and
cigarette boxes. The machine Is in the
form Of large square box, mounted on o
hollow pedestal. On the front center is o
small lens, surmounted by mirror, o
slot for pence is in the top left hand cor
ner, while smaller slot for half pence,
In the opposite corner, is for the supply
Of brass folding frames for the mounting
Of the photographs. The person to be
photographed takes his stand In front Of
the lens, with his back to a post or rail
fixed at distance Of three feet from the
machine, and adjusts himself 90 that his
full face shall be reflected In the mirror.
With his left hand he then puts a PEN
ny in the slot and remains motionless
for five seconds, when the sound Of q
bell announces that the impression is
complete. In forty seconds more the
finished photograph, on a metal plate,
drops through the delivery hole on to Q
small shelf, and the process is complete.
An extra half penny will procure suit
able frame, but this luxury is optional.
The impressions resemble those Of the
cheap glass positive photographs, only
that tinplate is substituted for glass.
The mechanism is at present a secret,
but the principle appears to be that of a
rotary arm, which carries the plate
through series of chemical baths till
the impression is developed and fixed

The Woman's Journal is Of opinion
that it has buried Mr.. Grant Alien out of
sight by citing him to France. France
does not go in for the higher education
of women at all. The French women
are still in the swaddling bands of old
fogyism and non-emancipation. Accord
ing to Mr.. Aliens argument, therefore,
that the higher education of women
tends to check the growth of population,
France ought to increase far more rap
idly in population than either England
or America. But the population of
France is not even holding its own, a
fact to which the w. ]. paints in triumph.

Recent Tornado Losses on One Day.
The returns of the fatalities by the re-
cent group of tornadoes are not yet all in.
Il is probable, indeed, that some persons
were killed in the thinly settled regions
Of northwestern Kentucky whose names
will never be known. 1t is possible, how.
ever, to make pretty accurate estimate
Of the loss of life. In Louisville the num-
ber of those killed outright and receiving
fatal injuries will not be far from 120.
In other parts of Kentucky 207 persons
were killed, the largest fatalities being
as follows: Clay, 80; Glasgow, 80; Black
ford, 20; Pooltown, II; Kuttawa, -;
Eddyville, IL; Dixon, 8; Sebree, 8; Ma
rion, 7, and Bremen, 9. In twelve other
towns 81 persons were killed, the total
for Kentucky being 827. S8E
In Illinois SO persons were killed, the
largest fatalities being as follows; Shiloh,
10; Little Prairie, 0: Grand Tower, q;
Mount Vernon, s; Vienna, d; Poplar
Ridge, A; Metropolis. 8, and Carbondale,
8. In Indiana 90 were killed, 1S at Green
River and A at Evansville. In Tennessee
0 were killed, s at Gallatin and 1 at Ro-
gana. The total is Ala, but it is probable
that in round numbers 500 lives were
lost. 1t is almost impossible to make an
accurate estimate of the value of proper.
ty destroyed, but it may be generally
stated as follows: Kentucky, Sc, ,000, 900;
Illinois, $500, 200; Indiana, $325, 900; Ten
