A Fossil Tree in New jersey.


Trunks of trees changed to stone.
from which magnificent specimens of
banded agate can be cut, are found in
the Yellowstone valley in Arizona and
elsewhere in the west, but east Of the
Mississippi such things are very rare.
Recently, however. fossil tree, belong
ing to the pine family, was discovered
at Underwood, N. j. The trunk, or
what remains of it, is &c feet long, seven
and one-half feet in diameter at the
larger end and rapidly tapering for a
distance of IL feet to a point where,
when living. 1t had 4branched. At this
place the diameter is still no less than
five feet. The wood has been complete
" silicifed, but unfortunately the
structure is so fragile that attempts to
obtain section of 1t. have failed

A BICYCLE NOVELTY.

Combination Of Speed-IndicatoF and
Continuous Alarm Bell.
An inventor at the national capital
has taken out patent for somewhat
novel device. It is combination speed
Indicating and continuous alarm bell,
and is designed 70 be attached to the BIZ
cycle precisely as cyclometers are. at
the axle of the front wheel. Like the
cyclometer, it has the familiar star
star wheel operates upon a gearing,
which turns the clapper. placed hori-
zontally in the bell. As the speed is in
creased centrifugal force makes the
clapper describe a circle of widening
radius, and the striking surface Of the
bell is cleverly arranged 20 that it can
be adjusted to this radius.
The bell can be set so as TO ring con.
tinuously or to sound at any predeter-
mined rate of speed. It is intended to
warn a rider when he is exceeding a
lawful rate of speed. for if the indicator
is set so that the bell will ring when the
maximum rate allowed by law is
reached rider will be informed by the
sounding of the bell that he is travelling
as fast as the law allows. It can be set
also to sound light, unobjectionable
continuous alarm at night or whenever
desired, and in the case Of riders train
ing for races 1t can be used as an
PAGER. For instance, should
a rider desire to keep up a speed of II
miles an hour il will be only necessary
for him to set the bell at the proper
point and then pedal away till he keeps
the bell ringing all the time. If the bell
fails to sound he will know that he is
falling below the pace set for himself.
In appearance the bell is similar to the
ordinary small bicycle bell, excepting
Its speed graduations.

Professor Cope and His Work.

Irof. Edward d. Cope, who has recently
died in Philadelphia, was one Of tie fore
most scientists in the study OF evolution.
He was less widely known than many
scientists who have written in a more pop
ular style, hut in thought and research he
was said by those who knew him and
worked with him to be almost surely the
successor Of Darwin. His comparatively
early death removes that possibility, Tut
not the value of his work He was a typi-
cal scientist, OF the old-fashioned kind, de-
voted wholly TO his work, and caring moIe
Tor a new discovery in his OVID line than
for any sort of popularity or material
wealth. Comparative anatomy and geol-
ogy Were hts particular fields Of research,
and from these he branched out into tie
broader lines of general philosophy of
evolution. He made researches in New
Jersey, Maryland and South CaIolina, dis
covering many new and important species

60 Colorado and New Mexico, and while
there discovered the remote ancestor of
the horse, which as several European
scientists had suspected, was five-toed
animal Prof .Copetrumphantlyu nearthed
the actual skeleton of this beast, which was
thus proved to bc about the size OF a mas
tiff and to possess claws instead Of hoofs.
This changed the classification of The ami
NAL kingdom quite materially. Most of the
papers relating to his work aIe in the POS
session of the Smithsonian Institution. Tie
satisfaction Of adding TO TIE stores Of scien-
tific knowledge was almost literally his
only reward, for having started in life with
a considerable fortune he lost it by business
carelessness and spent a considerable
amountin collections which were afterward
demanded of him by the government, under
o misapplehension of facts.

Photographs of Sound.

DIR J. Mount Bleyer has recently been
making experiments with the biograph,
which, as he now triumphantly announces,
have resulted In pictures Of sound. He
has made snap shots of persons, voices
and OF various other sounds, and, of course
as no two sounds are exactly alike, the
pictures are all different, some resembling
roses, some shells. and others resembling
nothing in particular.
Strictly speaking, these are not pictures
OF sound at all, for sound cannot be pho
tographed any more than light can be
heard. To he sure, there are clothes which
are said to be loud, because they produce
very much the same effect on the brain
that tin fish-horn does; but that is only
g metaphor. These pictures which Mr.
Bleyer has made are simply pictures OF the
figures made by an exceedingly sensitive
liquid when the sounds photographed
are produced Sounds the vibration of the
medium sound, and varies with the medium
and the nature OF the vibration DR.

A "FIRST DEFENDER" DEAD.
Hero of Forty Battles and Skir-

Hero of Forty Battles and Skir-
mishes who Greeted Lincoln.
Pottsville, Pa, April 22.- Thomas G.
Bull, First Defender, who foughtin over
forty battles and skirmishes during the
war Of the rebellion, died at his home at
Port Carbon, aged sixty-twe years. When
the five companies of First Defenders
reached Washington, Bull was the first
soldier of the memorable band to shake
hands with President Abraham Lincoln,
remarking: 1--WE are coming, Father
Abraham"
The President responded by shaking his
hand warmly and saying: II am glad to
see you, boys ~
Having finished his three months ser
vice, Bull enlisted in Company F, Third
Pennsylvania Cavalry, April 4, 1862; was
captured at HARDWOOD Church, Va, on No
vember %, 862, and sent to Libby prison;
was exchanged on January / /, S63, and
transferred to Company NJ, Third Cavalry,
First Brigade, Army of the Potomac, and
was with the Second Brigade, second di-
vision, Cavalry Corps, up to January, 1854
and on duty in provost guard, headquar-
tiers Army of the Potomac, until May,
1865.
He was captured twice and taken pris-
oner, but the last time reoaptured by the
Union troops before being sent to the rear
He had a record of being brave soldier

After Larissa, what?

While it was by no means certain this
morning that the Turks had secured the po-
sitions to control the fate OF Larissa, We
are afraid that il has happened, or viii
happen today. Dispatches completely
Justify the strategic predictions OF The
Times for the past three days. The diver
sion attempted by the Greek column of
Gen avromichaeIis, whose advance
through the pass of Reveni and his attack
upon Edhem Pasha left flank and rear has
been noted, appears nearly TO have sue
ceedetl in its object; but it is Co be feared
either that it came too late or lacked
sufficient force of numbers TO make il
effective The Greeks are fighting with the
heroism of despair, hut they are out
Numbered and, what is quite as bad. there
is painful evidence that they are without
good generals.
These two disastrous factors being given
their full value, no Conclusion is possible
other than that the Turks are nearly certain
to overrun the line at Tyrnavo, and take
possession of the plain Of Larissa, dividing
the Greek army, and settlingthe campaign
as far as the defense of Thessaly is con
cemed An exasperating feature Of the
struggle is furnished an the presence of
a number OF German officers in active
command of Turkish troops This is so

on the part of one Of the neutral pow

proud Western nations, whose pe,ple at

contemplate it without fighting.
The Greek navy does not seem TO be do
ing much. Instead of at once alta king

and communication, it is bomhar,ling IN
important coast villages The smallsquad-
ron in the Gulf of Arta is doing better;
hut on tie whole the Hellenic nayalopera-
tions so far have been disappointing
Probably they may cease altogether IN
few days. For some purpose the Russian
government has asked the porte for per
mission to send a fleet through the Oar
dantiles What that may mean ultimately,
nobody today could tell; but we are afraid
that one ohject of the movement may etc
prevent the Greek fleet from fighting
Turkey on the sea
The announcement ought to rouse the
British Lion, if there is anything left In
him to rouse.
