(From the London Daily Mail)
If a recent invention fulflis all that is
expected of it, we are approaching an era
of cheaper telephones, greater clearness
in voice transmission, and the surmOun ing
OF the many difficulties that beset long d s
tance telephony.
The invention is transmitting apara-
tus which is the property OF the Adams
Randall Telephone Patents Company Lin
tied. IL is claimed for it that it is adapted
to all purposes OF telephony, particularly
upon long circuits; that Teprodul ed words
can, if desired, be heard all over large
room; that speech can be loudly and clea--
ly transmitted over distances hitherto i'm
possible; that expensive metallic circuits
now absolutely necessary can be dispens-
ed with; that much cheaper wire can be
used. and that a message can be sent along
a wire that is at the same time being usei
for telegraphic purposes.
Such are the advantages OF the appara-
tus rs given by the secretary of the com
pany to a Daily Mail" represent tive yes

explained ''can be used behind the best

eaIl be able TO telephone from London to
Dublin with an earth return, and this will
mean an enormous saving In the cost Of
trunk lines. At the present time the earth
return is not used for telephone purposes.
Another great feature Of the new in
strument is that its resistance to Undue
ton is much greater, by reason Of the en-
ploymont OF twelve cells of battery in
stead of three, and these can be so regu-
lated that the reproduced voice can be
heard all over the room or through the re-
ceiver only. and no matter how great the
distance the speech is quite clear and dis

FATHER OF CHILDREN's BOOKS.
John Nevbery's Neglected Tomb in
st. Lawrence Churchyard.


CFrom Letter to the London Chronicle)
A correspondent informs me that the
tomb of John Newbery, in WaItham St
Lawrence Churchyard, is likely TO suffer
the fate that overtakes all such monuments
unless properly and regularly cared for
/ have not seen it since I visited the
quaint and quiet little village in the sum
mer Of 1885, when l was collecting ma
terials for a life of "the philanthropic pub
fisher of St Pauls ChuTchyard, immor-
talized by Goldsmith in his Vicar of
Wakefield, by DR.. Johnson in The
Idler," by Washington Irving in Brace
bridge Hall" and by many other writer's
who have recognized the influence of the
first publisher who wrote, edited, compiled,
and published books for "all those little
masters and misses who are good. or who
intend to be good"
We have travelled a long way since New
berry and Goldsmith co-operated on that
famous list of books OF which Good Two
Shoes" and Tommy Trip" may be taken
as the best examples, but If it were only
for the fact that Newbery was the first to
give the Rhymes and Jingles Of Mother
Goose" to the world In collected form his
memory should ever be kept green by Eng
lish speaking children wherever they may
be found.
Newberv's original collection of Mother
Googe's melodies has, moreover, an added
interest for there is every reason TO be
lieve that Goldsmith had a hand in the
editing. annotating. and arranging OF the
FIRST edition.
Neither in London, at the scene o. his
labors over against the north door OF st.
Paul's Cathedral" nor at the corner of
St Pauls Churchyard, nor at Canonbury
House, Isington, where be and Goldsmith
lived and worked together. nor at his
birthplace, Waltham st. Lawrence, is
there anything Of prominence to keep his
name in remembrance.
Mother Goose" has enriched countless
publishers, who have, Of course, banshed
his name from their editions, and has de-
lighted children innumerable on both
sides of the Atlantic and although ii Is
nearly one hundred and fifty years since
he fourished it is not too ate, either by
a tablet on one of the sites indicated or by
a suitable monument at his birthplace OF
elsewhere, TO commemorate the life and
work of a man who was, as Goldsmith
said mot only the friend oI chlldTeh, out
the friend of all mankind.
This would seem to be the more neces-
sary for a claim TO have been the orig
ator of this collection was made about thir-
/ ty years ago on behalf OF Mrs. Goose, or
! Vergoose, the mother-in-law of Thomas

| The absurdity of this contention was amply
demonstrated by Mr.. w H. Whitmore

preface to fac smile of Newberys edi-
ton which he published in 1892; but an
cient superstition and modern myths alike
! die hard and there are thousands in Amer
lea today who cling TO the idea that Mother
Goose was an American lady, instead OF a
nom de plume borrowed by Newbery from

CHAPTER III.

The natural adjustments which time
brought about had little comfort for
John Olmstead's nephew. The one
disagreeable feature in the past which
he had not been able to put away was.
his uncle's determination that he
should marry. Now the whole world
seeemd to have risen up to carry on
the argument
1t was natural enough that social at
tention should be more drawn to him
than ever, and especially to be expected
that the trustees, Judge Russell and DIR.
Borden, knowing of the condition
hanging over him, should lose no OPP
portunity to present such of their
friends as might aid him to meet it.
Stanton failed to grasp the natural
philosophy of it, however, and simply
realized a state of things that was in
tensely disagreeable. The fact that his
uncle, being dead, was yet speaking,
only held him the more firmly in in
stinctive resistance, and where John
Olmstead's arguments failed there was
little hope that the rest of the world
could succeed. The only result was
that Stanton shrank more and more
from society, and delved deeper and
more earnestly in his profession.
It was an excellent thing for his
progress at the bar, and he really began
to develop into what everyone had pre-
dicted-something of prodigy.
Straightway it began to be commonly
acknowledged that be was one of the
shrewdest cross-examiners in the state.
1t only tended, however, to make So
ciety more charitable with hisseccen-
1 tricities and more relentlessly adoring.
A weak .man would have yielded al
once; a strong man never. Stanton was
neither. He had elements Of strength
but he was not strong.
After five years OF it he said to him
selfi "I believe that the only way tt
make life worth living IS to have &

lines. He fanciSd his uncIe was not feel
ing well, and would have been glad to
offer some relief, but perfect health was
the one thing upon which John Ohm
stead prided himself and which it was
never safe to question. His one boast,
always pushing his fingers through his
white hair, was that he had never COM
suited physician in his life.
The tall clock in the corner began
striking ten, andthe clock in the great
tower, few blocks away joined it,
single stroke behind. One was regulated
by John Olmstead. the other by the
official timekeeper, and for more than
20 years they had told the same story
as they were telling it tonight.
Stanton paused for an instant and
glanced at his uncle, dropped his book
and sprang TO the armchair.
The old mans face was flushed. His
forehead was wet. He was awake, but
he breathed Ekeone sleeping too heav-
fly. In wild stare his eyes were fixed
on his left hand.
With his right hand he cIutched the
sleeve of the left arm, lifted it a little
way, and let it fall, muttering:
Dead. Robert. Dead"
Stanton rang for Sam, the general
man-servant, whispering: 'Dr. Morton,
Sam. BE quick
Sam staggered out into the raging
storm, his mind struggling with the
fact that the master was Ill, Euch as
his body struggled in the drifts. He was
| trying to do two things at once, which
was always too much for him, and be-
tween the two he blurdered and rang
the bell at the door of Rev. DR.. Borden'I
home.
John Olmstead was not a communi-
cant, but he wasa highly valued and re
spected supporter of DIR. Borden'i
church. The good doctor opened the
door himself. Sam shouted from the
storm: Mr.. John Olmstead is sick, sir
Comequick." Then discovering his mis-
take, he started away, without a wore
of explanation, to summon DR.. Morton
A single glance told the physician
Why he had been called. He asked few
questions, chiefly to test the mind an'
the face-muscles, looked into the pa
TENTS eyes, and. kneeling, began t
manipulate the left leg and arm.
"WeI?" said John Olmstead, impa
tiently.

fully formed, the physician replied:
