IF report which comes from New
York shall prove to be esubstantiated by
the facts. new use for electricity has
been discovered which will be of very
great Importance to the health and
welfare of mankind. 1t is said that a
simple and inexpensive process has
been discovered by which electricity
can be used in disinfecting and purify
ing sewage. A plant for this purpose
can be erected it is claimed, for $5,
900; that the daily cost of operation
will be only s4 and that will produce
sufficient fluid to purify the sewage of
10000 people. Such plant of a capac-
ity to meet the present demands Of
Shenandoah would cost only $25O0O
and would be operated at daily cost
OF but $780, Thus far the matter
rests entirely on assertions, but if ex-
perience proves the correctness of the
latter, 1t is evident that valuable
and most important discovery has
been made.

THE agricultural department of the
government in its crop bulletins
always estimates the cereal and other
agricultural crops in numbers, 100
being full, normal crop, and any
thing above or below that figure Of
course meaning that the crop will be
either better or less than a full one,
Some inquirers have asked to know
what normal or full crop means in
bushels for the entire country. The
government statistician answers that
full crop, represented by 100, means
l43 bushels an acre, that being the
average for the past ten years, the yield
In that period for the entire country
having been from 13 60 bushels to
1889 bushels an acre. Great Britain's
average yield an acre is just about
double our own. In Holland and
Belgium it is still higher.

Boys are no longer apprenticed as
formerly to a master who takes them
into his family and teaches them a
trade in all it's branches. In the old
days the master was responsible, legal.
ly and morally, for his apprentices ad.
vancement worked beside him in the
shop, and saw to it that he acquired
full and accurate knowledge of his
craft. The introduction of machinery
and the subdivision of labor have been
working together for years to make in.
innate supervision and instruction OF
this kind impossible. The master me.
chanic, instead Of presiding over a
small shop, and being master Of all
branches Of his trade, has become, in
many instances, the master Of merely a
single branch of his trade But whether
master of whole or part, he does not
work with his men, and can give no
personal attention to an apprentice. II
has come about, therefore, that BOYS
are hired to do the menial work of the
shops, to sweeP and clean, run upon er.
rands; and as part payment for their
work, they are permitted topick up only
as much knowledge of the trade as the

A WONDERFUL NEW INVENTION.
The Phonophore VIII Carry Messages
MANY Different WaYs.

Many Different Ways.
To be told that telegraph wire
which is busily transmitting a long
message can at the same time be made
to convey half dozen other messages
in opposite directions sounds like
fairy tale, but that the thing has been
done and is daily being done is at
tested upon the most respectable scien-
tific authority. The discovery which
renders these astonishing results pos
sible is due to c. Langdon- Davies, who
has for some years been engaged in
rendering it practically workable and
in adapting it alike to telephone and
Geographic use.
1t is difficult to convey TO the lay
mind, says the Chicago Dispatch, an ac-
curate comprehension of n process so
exceedingly technical, but it may be
briefly said that Mr.. Langdon-Davies
in the ''phonophore" utilities, not the
electric current, but the noise caused
by the induction. The signals are
transmitted by a series of indicted
electric impulses, and the success of the
system is found in the ability of the in
ductive force TO pass through insula-
tions which electric currents cannot
penetrate. A wire may be blown down
and in contact with the earth, yet so
long as it is not broken it will carry
phonophoric message.
By means of the phonophore messages
can be transmitted with extraordinary
rani1itv an1 thara ;e ,ron,;oolIy no
limit to the number of messages that
can be sent simultaneously upon the
same wire. And, as we have hintei,
Mr.. Langdon-Davies' system is as use
full telephonically as it is telegraphical
ly. A wire which is conveying electric.
signals can at the same time be used for
telephone conversation without either
ing in the least.
For some considerable time past ex-
periments in both directions have been
proceeding with most gratifying re-
suits, which are vouched for by such
high authorities as Prof Sylvanus
Thompson, Conrad Cooke and Latimer
Clark. Three of the principal railway
companies have already adopted the
phonophore; and it must be obvious,
even to the unscientific mind, that
phonophoric telegaaphy and telephony.
which is so vastly increasing the cleo
trician's power over the wires, has be-
fore it very great feature.
The phonophore, indeed, increases al
most to infinity the number of words
that can be transmitted in given time.
1t is obvious, therefore, that it opens
great possibilities in the way of cheap
ening the cost of kilograms. Solong as
the number of words that could be car
ried by a wire in an hour was rigidly
limited it was hopeless to look for any
substantial reduction in the cost of tel
egraphing, but the phonophore at once
increases the capacity and speed of
every wire to which it may be fitted.

ADRIFT ON THE OCEAN,,
The, Remarkable Voyage of a Deserted
Schooner.

Schooner.
Some of the caprices of the ocean are
inexphcable. March 81. 1891. an
American three-masted schooner, the
Wyer G. Sargent, of Sedgwicls. Me,
was abandoned by her crew off Cape
Hatteras, hopeless wreck. But the
deserted vessel did not break up or
founder. On the contrary, she hung
together with amazing tenacity. and
from that day TO this has been floating
aimlessly about in the path of com.
merce between our ports and Europe.
She has been sighted and reported
during these twenty-one months by
twenty-five different vessels-to say
nothing of those which passed peril
ously near her in the night or foggy
weather. She was last seen few DAYS
ago by British steamship nine hun
dred miles due east of Bermuda. The
dismasted hull was still in good condi-
ton. The name on her stern was dis
tinctly visible and a rusty anchor
dangled from the bow. During the
year and nine months that this mast
less and rudderless hulk has been drift
ing hither and thither, the sport of the
elements, scores of strong ships, well
manned and well found, have sue
cumbed to the fury of the winds and
waves, some of them not leaving soul
to tell their story, while a deserted
craft, without a rag of canvas, has
come safely through hurricane and
cyclone without number to lie deadly
menace in the path of navigation.
