A Mill Creek miner thus winds up the
story of q fight between 1000 wolves
that besieged his cabin one night re-
Gently in the mountains of that region,
melted to frenzy by the notes of the
aforesaid miners fiddle:
II fiddled and they fit and ate each
other, till the band began to thin out.
Every time l gave an extra rasp on the
E string they howled louder and pitched
in afresh. They kept it up for three
hours, when there wasn't more than
forty or fifty left, and they so blamed
full that they could hardly waddle. But
l fiddled and they fit for second wind.
When one threw up the sponge the
others bolted him in twinkling. By
and by there wasn't more than a dozen
left But l fddled and they fit and
feasted.
"When they got down to three, each
one laid hold of another's tail and chawed
for glory. The ring kept getting
smaller but l fdlled and they chawed
until there was only bunch of hair left,
and that blowed away down hill, The
snow was all red with blood and tramp
led down ten feet. Heads and bones
were strung all down the canon, and
there was fur enough in sight to stuff a
circus tent. 1t was the dandiest dog
fight eversaw "-[ Virginia City Chron-

Inyenting the Phonocraph.

The question is often raised as to what
suggested the idea of the phonograph to
its inventor. Mr. Lathrop, in his "Talks
with Edison, gives the following as tho
true origin of the phonograph
1t grew out of rough automatic re
corder, invented by Edison to serve &
temporary purpose.
While working as telegraph operator
reading by sound-in indianapolis, he
found that he was unable to keep up
with the operator in Cincinnati, one of
the quickest despatchers in the business.
The necessity of taking" what that op-
orator sent made Edison an inventor.
He arranged the old Morse registers in
such way that by running strip of
paper through them the dots and dashes
We're recorded on the first instrument as
fast sthe Cincinnati operator despatched
them, and were transmitted to him
through the other instrument at any de-
sired rate of speed. The words would
come on one instrument at the rate of
forty minute, while Edison would grind
them out of the other at the rate Of
twenty five-a number he could readily
write out on the manifold.
By this rude automatic recorder Edi-
son was led TO invent the phonograph.
He had worked out an instrument which
would repeat a message any number Of
times and at any rate of speed. While
experime nting with the telephone, this
idea occurred to him:
IF the indentations on paper could be
made to give forth again the click of the
instrument, why could not the vibra-
tions of diaphragm be recorded and
similarly reproduced?"
He rugged up an instrument, and
pulled strip of paper through it, at the
same time shouting, "Halloo!" A friend
then pulled the paper through again,
while Edison listened, and heard dis
tinct sound, which strong Imagination
might have translated into the original
"Halloo!"
His friend wagered barrel of apples
that he could not make the thing 60.
Edison made a drawing of model, took
it to an instrumentmaker, and told him
it was a talking machine. The man
grinned, thinking it a joke, but soon had
the modelready. Edison arranged some
tinfoil on it, and spoke into the machine,
the maker looking on increduously; but
when Edison arranged the machine for
transmission, and both men heard dis
tinct sound, the doubling instrument
maker nearly fell down from the shock,
so frightened was he. Edison himself
was little scared, but he was glad to
get the barrel of apples from his scepti-
cal friend. This was Edison's first prac-
teal experiment on the phonograph. !.

INCUBATION Is HEALTH.
What Children of the Future VIII Have
to Contend With.

What Children of the Future Will Hsve
to Contend With.
1t is dreadful point about microbes
that the only way to avoid having them
in a virulent form is to have them in an
artificial or attenuated form, says the
Hospital.
The children of the future will not run
through the present gamut of infantile
disease, but they will probably be sub
jected to incubation with various mi
crobes every few months.
First they will be vaccinated for small
pox when they have recovered from
that they will be taken to Pasteur in
stitute to have a mild form of rabies.
Next they will be given dose of the
comma bacilli to prevent cholera, and SO
on through all the ever growing series Of
disease microbes.
Oh luckless child of the future you
will never be i'll and never be we'll; your
health will be awfully monotonous; you
will never know the WEAKNESS of the
first night of measles, when it was so
nice to lie in mothers lap afa feel her
cool hand on your forehead you will
never know the joys of convalescence,
when oranges were numerous and every
one was kind to you because you were
not well and your end will be to die of
debility.
How glad we are that we live in the
present, with all its ups and downs of
health to lend variety to life and to
