To most mothers the cry ri infants indi.
Gates nothing beyond the act that for
some cause or other, they are distressed,
and yet it is full of meaning to those who
are observant and quick to read signs. A
loud and full cry, which seems wrung
from the little one, would suggest a severe
pain somewhere, and more than likely in
the bowels A whimpering and fretful-
ness are generally very common, indeed, in
diamhna and other intestinal affections,
which are not so acutely painful, but are
attended with dull, uncomfortable feel

There is one cry, the significance Of which

incessant and indispensable, except by

The I.sal Bed for Babies.

At Guise, France, there is a great Co
operative household Of many years sue
cess. The system of nurseries and schools
| is graded to accommodate the children
from infancy. The bed used in this in
fants nursery is thus described in lecture
/ by NJ Godin I'VE had to search long
/ time before we hit on the healthy and in
Expensive mode Of providing "A bed for in
iants, in describing which | think that

opening of the nursery we made trial Of all

stretched across the cradles. We tried alb
aDrbcnt straw and other Inventions which
,0ok us from one Inconvenience 10 another
without solving the problem of producing
a soft bed, free from damp or unpleasant
smells. You will understand how inipor
tant the question was for us. Every one
knows how much care, annoyance aud
embarrassment the cradle of one infant
only will give rise TO in a family. Al the
nursery it was not one cradle only. but
from forty to fifty that must be kept dry
and clean
AT last we discovered this clew-that
bran furnished an excellent bed for the
babies, and that it would be sufficient to
lay them directly upon the bran. We tried
this plan. But if it is practicable for a
mother, who has only her own little one to
attend to, it was not so in an establishment
where at certain hours from fifteen to
twenty children had 10 be got up almost at
the same time If the child was laid on
the bran undressed, it was covered when
taken out OF bed with tiny spangles Of bran
adhering toa its body which made it look
like little savage. Its toilet nocessitated
a bath, which took half an hours work for
each child This was not practicable.
Still the bran did truly solve the problem.
It furnished very soft bed. and it alb
sorbed the moisture by forming little pei
lets, easily removed by the hand, without
leaving any source OF unpleasant smell
40 remedy the only Inconvenience that
we experienced, it sufliced to place between
the infant and the bran little sheet. This
is the form of bed in use in the nursery at
the Familistere now for more than twelve
years, uniformly with the best results.
The pillow is similarly filled with bran.
Every day there is added handful of bran,
equal to that which is taken away, and
about once a month the bran of the cradle
is entirely renewed. Large bran is best for
this kind of bed. 1t should be screened to
get rid of the dust"

resources are, and what ingenuity they
possess without having had any teaching
from man, and, so far as my own expert
ence goes, and Mr.. Stanley and others
confirm my opinion, such acts are far in
advance of any similar idea. | think
they really talk as far as it is actually
necessary, but that they have only the
very simplest rudiments of speech and
are not capable of carrying on "a CONVEX
sation of any length, that they have only
the means OF expressing their natural
wants, and doing this in the very simplest
manner.
If monkey wants something to drink
he uses sound nearly like 'ku-u-w;"
but ii he is angry he uses sound nearly
IKE 'ecgk," which is quite sharp, and
he repeats it so rapidly that you might
think he had made quite speech, when
be had only said over and over this one
word
l have not confined my studies to mon
keys alone. [ have made many phono-
graphic records of other kinds of animals,
such as lions, tigers, dogs, cats, parrots,
macaws and men of various races, and
among the many records l have made [
nave some very curious sounds, and |
think l shall be able 20 show that certain
kinds of sounds are made by animals that
have certain kinds of jaws, and that the
length of the jaw is an index to the power
of speech.
| am aware that many people shake
their heads and declare that the sounds
made by the lower animals are unlike
those made by man, and they try to be-
lleve that man alone can talk. But the
fact remains the same. Animals do make
voluntary sounds, which others hear and
understand. reply to and obey. In what
respect is this not ''speech?"
l cannot believe that either God or
evolution has given an ape good set
of vocal organs and no use for them. To
my mind it is quite as easy to believe that
they cannot see or smell as to believe they
cannot talk.
From the fact that monkeys construct
whole sentence with one word OF our
sound | have coined the word mono
phone" to describe their language. Each
specie has its own peculiar tongue, and
they do not seem to try to learn to speak
that Of any other kind. When two diff
ferent kinds are Gagged together they learn
to understand but not to speak each
others language. The same sound does
not mean the same thing in all tongues L
think have interpreted six words of the
capuchin speech beyond all reasonable
doubt, and l shall soon have three or
four more. l think they only have nine
or ten roots, which are slightly modified
in uttering, SO they may have in all from
thirty to forty words.

HARVESTING TEE AMERICAN.
Sacramento is Destined TO Be Run
by Electricity Exclusively.
Engineer Stillweu of Pittsburg on the
Folsom Water Power-The
Scheme Practicable.

L. B. Stillwell, Chief Engineer of the
Westinghouse Electrical Company of
Pittsburg, Pa, accompanied by r. 3.
Elder, prominent San Francisco electri-
clan, and II. Z. Livermore, President of
the Natoma Land and Water Power Com
pany, arrived in this city last evening
from San Francisco.
The party will leave this morning for
Folsom, where they will engage in an in
vestigation, the result of which may make
Sacramento one OF the most important
cities in the country.
Mr.. Stillwell, though quite young
man, is probably the leading expert on
long-distance transmission of electrical
power in the United States. The object
OF his visit to Folsom to-day is to examine
into the water power system ofthe Natoma
Company, with the view of formulating
plans for the best method OF Harvesting
up the American river, and make it
do all OF Sacramento's work. Mr.. Still
we'll has been IN correspondence with the
officials OF the company for some time.
and they have thoroughly informed him
as to the probable power of their plant.
He has formed quite general idea of the
situation, and laughs at The idea that there
should be any doubt about the practical
bility of the scheme. He says that, COM
pared to other work he has accomplished
of a similar nature, this one will be a
mere bagatelle.
Recently in Montana plant was put in
which transmits electrical power ninety
five miles successfully. Folsom is only
twenty-five miles away from Sacramento
There is also plant in Southern Califor-
MIA which supplies two cities-Pomona,
thirteen miles, and San Bernardino,
twenty-four miles.
when this plant is completed" said
Mr.. Livermore to a RECoRD-UNIoN re-
porter last evening, lit will furnish light
and heat for every house in Sacramento,
will light the streets, will run the ma
chinery of every factory, mill and shop in
the city, will run the street cars-in fact,
it will run the town. That means a great
deal, doesn't it? The heating system has
rot been perfected yet, but it will only be
a matter of time until it will be. Mr.
Stillwell is satisfied already as regards
the practicability of the project, but de-
sires to be on the ground in order to per-
feet his plans. 1t is only a matter of
method with him now. It has not been
decided yet whether the power will be
brought here on poles or underground.
/ think, however, that Mr.. Stillwell pre-
fers the latter method-that is placing the
wires in pipe and carrying them several
feet below the surface OF the earth.''
Mr.. Stillwell is accompanied on the
coast by his wife. After examining the
situation at Folsom he goes to Portland.
Or, where he is to figure on an equally
important project. Portland is already
supplied 10 certain extent with cleo
tricity from the water-power at Oregon
City, but the plant is small. and it is now
proposed to put in one that will do for
Portland what it is intended TO do for
Sacramento-that is. to run everything by
electricity.
