THE PHONAUToGRAPH.
A Remarkable Machine Invented by . Call
fOrniA Genius.

A Remarkable Machine Invented by o Call
fOrniA Genius.
A San Francisco man has invented a
machine which will do away with type
writers, both instruments and operators,
if he succeeds in perfecting his inven-
tion.
The new machine combines the phono-
graph and the typewriter, and in looks
bears considerable resemblance to cash
register. On the front of the machine
are small electric buttons, which you
press before talking into the mouthpiece
projecting from the upper part. This
mouthpiece is connected with q revolv-
ing cylinder, which receives impressions
in a way similar to the Edison phono-
graph. a travelling reodle regulates tho
position of the impressions ON the cyl
inder according to the size of the paper
they are to be reproduced ON.
The filed cylinder is placed on roll
ers in the lower part of the machine.
Above the rollers is a supply of paper
for receiving the written characters.
There are Geveral mysteries about the
working Of the new invention. No ink
is used, the written characters being
produced in a bold, round hand by
chemical action. 1t spells entirely by
sound and is unable as yet to cope with
the diphthong, the silent letter. the cap
ital, the semicolon or figures, but il
will receive the sounds Of the human
voice in any language except Chinese
and reproduce them in plain English
chirography.
This seeming fairy tale comes from
the financial hacker and the inventor,
these two men being the only persons
who have seen the wonderful machine.

is proposed to divide London and other

new programme is not 30 ambitious as
the old one. but is not likely to prove
more successful, the masses being still

FLORIDA REEFS.
Inc Most Dangerous Part of the
United States Coast

OhtSG CtdLeS AOaSEs
The most dangerous part of the coast of the
United States extends from the southernmost
cape OF the peninsula OF Florida to the island
of Dry Tortugas, lying in the Gulf OF Mexico,
sIxty-iwO miles from Key West. For a distance
OF 200 miles the coast line is here made up by a
semi-eircular chain of islands along whose
seaward edge lie the sunken reefs of Florida
These reefs are OF coral formation, and are
washed by the warm water of the gulf stream
as it floats through The straits on its way north
ward. This river In the ocean, flowing always
in one direction, with an average velocity of
two miles an hour, produces numerous strong
counter currents and in6raugnts over the reefs
and along shore. Threatening tide-rips, eddies
and WhirlpOOs ar continually set going
which Tend TO battle the ever-cautious mariner
and carry mis- ship u C rtain destruction.
Cape Hatteras, with Its tickle currents and
shifting bars, so dreadful to the mariner has
been the scene of many shipwreeks, but the
number is small when cOmpar to those which
have met their fate III the gulf stream and be-
yond the pale of assistance. Hundreds of yes
sells daily pass through The Florida straits on
their way TO foreign ports and those which are
located on the shore OF the gull, and IN order TO
avoid the adverse currents vessels skirt along
The edge of the stream and the long arid reef,
with its succession OF varied dangers, men
acinglv paving the way like teeth In sharks
Jaw.
However uncertain the navigator OF the
water adj cent O these reefs may be by day,
it becomes senfOld more hazardous by night.
Notwithstanding the fact that chain or lights
on the desOlate reefs cast raddy glare 10 the
mariner on the sea, yet "plain sailing" is out
of the question:. for the beacons are at an
average distance of twenty-five miles apart.
and all other day marks being hidden by the
darkness of night the navigator feels his way
with only the compass ana deep-se lead to
guide him. The consciousness that slight
divergence from the proper course may lead 10
disaster keeps him on the pins and needles OF
anxiety. Ships have run upon those coral

A scraggly black cat was loafng around In
the sunshine on the sill OF the second story

Of the corner on the east side of Wooster street.
Three boys in The street below saw the cat and
threw few stones just to get the range. A

One OF the small boys succeeded in landing d

SNAILS FOR FOOD.
The Time When the Escargots Are
Best for Those Who Like Them.

We shall never In all likelihood grow to share
the French taste for the edible snail, though
the big escargot is common enough in many
parts OF England, where tradition says they
were introduced by the Romans and still live
on round the sites of their villas. The escargot
is Ietlly al it, best wien taken in the vine-
yards AT the end OF March and the beginning
OF April They live on lie shoots of lie vines
and during the winter bury themselves in The
