AN ARTIFICIAL EAR.
Invention That Brings Sound to the

Mobile Ala. April 20.-Reese Hutchison.
aged Twenty-Five of this city. has patent
ed an electrical device. the akoulaiiion by
! which the deaf are made to hear. At a
public test two deaf mutes. to whom for
twenty-five years the music of the birds
has been an unheard sound. listened to a
piano seventy-five feet distance. heard
Sousa, and attempted to mimic the words
of the human voice. spoken at a distance.
The invention is the result of nearly
three years Of labor. and is an adaptation
OF the microphone principle. whereby with
electrical apparatus. sound waves are mag
nified several hundred times. What ap-
pears much like an ear transmitter on the
ordinary telephone. though smaller, is at
tached to a trumpet sufficiently large to
catch the sound waves. but not unsishtly,
and this hand-phone Is connected with a
small pocket battery by cloth covered
wires.
Just how the sounds are increased is
the inventors secret, but several of the
tests proved the e6ectiveness of the in
strument.
The subjects OF the tests were Lyman
Gould. who has been a deaf mute since
babyhood, and Martin Durant, who was
poru mute. iney OOtn neafd and enjoy

midway across the street and listened to
the sounds that came to them from the

Several attempts were made to trick the
mutes by pretending to play without pro-
ducing the notes. but they could tell in
stantly whether the instrument was play
ing or silent.

to initiate his voice by speaking to them

The Notions of a I..yman.
(From the Iowa State Sentinel.


Ministerial 'lawlessness'' and demayoCism are
now proving to be of greater injury to re-
lgion than the wild and vicious screets of
Colonel Ingersoll and all the other infdels the
world has ever known. Nearly every locality now
has ministers who have become wiser than the
Bible, in their own estimation; and many of
that class are conceited that they aspire to
the lecture stage in order that they may have
greater opportunity to scatter their poison. 1t
is NO wonder that the dstrust Of the English
clergymen has become general that the House
OF Commons unanimously adopted the resolu-
tion which expresses the hope that .the ministers
Of the Crown will not recommend any clergyman
for preferment unless satisfied that he will obey
the Bishops and the prayer book 1t is bad to
have religion that is regulated by law and
by lawmakers resolutions, instead Of by the
Bible, but it is well that the upward Of 1000
cratic English clergymen have thus been publicly
rebuked by the House Of Commons. Demagogism
seems to be making rapid headway among the
ministers Of all creeds and Churches, and there
is no doubt but that the Bible and religion are
in greater danger from that source than from all
other sources combined. '-s' - =

Cumberland ReRtOns.
Cumberland, Nd, April 20.-Last week
91,644.S4 tons of coal were shipped by
rail and 3.016.1S tons by canal from the
Georges Creek Cumberland region. The
shipments were 1887 tons in excess Of the
same week of the previous year. and for
the year inclusive of the week reached L.
1S1. .949.0S tons, or 4O,703.94 tons in excess
Of the same period of 1898. The total
shipments by Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
are II, ,306.19 tons. or 5,233.91 tons less than
the record for the corresponding period last
year.
OF the output to April Is. 1872, ,119. 10
tons were delivered to the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad and local points. an increase
of 81 ,459.1 tons, and 33S, ,522. Is tons to the
Pennsylvania, an increase Of 14,477.14 tons
The shipments from both the Cumber-
land and West Virginia Central regions
are so far nearly 100000 tons in excess
Of last year to April Is.
Operators report that Cumberland coal
has had decidedly the preference over
other Goals during the first quarter OF 1899
and is likely to keep on growing. 1t finds
most ready market everywhere. Freight,
1t is stated, will rule higher this year
than last, about 30 cents n ton as an
average. for vessels and barges are few
and other lines of trade more attractive.
1t Is claimed that West Virginia produc-
ers have been making unreasonable cuts
in prices In order to gain patronage. The
demand for coal is heavy along Long
Island Sound, where the manufacturers
are very busy. Western Pennsylvania
operators claim to have all they can do,
despite West Virginia coal has been sup
planting their product at some points.
The BerwindWhite Company in March
supplied 490, coo tons from its different
mines, the largest output ever made in a
month Much of this coal went over the
Baltimore and Ohio.
Coke shipments on the Baltimore and
Ohio are very heavy at present, and the
prospect is that there will be large
increase In the near future.
There Is a strong probability that the
mines at Harding. W. Va, on the Belling-
ton extension, will soon be reopened. The

THE SAMOAN SITUATION.
officials Awaiting Further News
From the Islands.

AShu"uS.
Additional advices are expected from Ad-
miral Kautz in few days should the situa-
tion warrant his cabling in detail what
ever Of importance may have transpired
since the news of the murder OF Lieutenant
Lansdaie and party. Nothing direct has
been received from the admiral later than
his brief message notifying the department
of the ambuscade and disaster to the
American and British forces. and as mail
facilities with the islands are uncertain
and tedious there is no probability of a re-
port on the incident being received until
the middle of May. The next mail steam
er between Auckland and Apia should ar
rive some time late this week or early next
and the authorities are fully confident that
Admiral KautZ will send messages by her
for cable to the department reciting the
latest developments and showing the pre-
else status of affairs.
What may have transpired since April
/. when the fighting between natives and
the landing party occurred is a matter of
entire speculation, but it is hoped by the
officials that the forces under Admiral
Kautz, which include the two British war
ships are fully capable of coping with any
emergency that may arise. Two British
vessels recently ordered from Australia to
augment the English forces are thought to
have arrived by this time and with their
presence it is not anticipated that the ma
val strength of this Government and Great
Britain cannot render all necessary protec-
tion to their interest in Apia.
The time of the departure Of the Sa-
moan Commission from San Francisco is
yet question of some doubt. although it
is not thought it will be delayed many
days beyond May l. and possibly it will
sail sooner. Reports received at the Navy
Department respecting the progress OF
work on the Badger which is to trans
port the Commissioners and party TO Apia,
indicate that the vessel will be in condi-
tion for the voyage well within the time
fixed. and that she will be ready to sail
when the Commissioners arrive.

The American Gunboat.


The gunboat idea received its great development
during our Civil Mar; Boats drawing little
as six feet ok water, and carrying as many as
thirteen formfiaAls jguns each, their sides plated
by two and Sohe-hal III inches Of iron, patrolled
all the naviglbIe sFvers in the field Of war in
the West and Southwest, and constituted most
powerful adjunct to the Army.
In the Philippines there many estuaries
or arms Of the running into the land, and
numberless rivers which can be navigated by
such gunboats, and Admiral Dewey. with his
usual foresight and enterprise, has taken steps
to procure large feet Of them large num-
Der of the Filipinos amphibious sort Of
people, who will be kept on the move by these
gunboats in q way that will make them ex-
ceedingly weary.
The gunboat idea can hardly be too largely
developed in the Philippines. II we are to patrol
and control the innunierable islands OF which the
archipelago Is composed. We shall need several
hundreds Of them to supplement the. feet Of
cruisers which command the more important

II is safe to assume that any statement
made by the Filipino agents in Europe is
absolutely false and wholly groundless.
They can give many points to the most tai
ented of Spanish liars and beat them easily.
Yet while they constantly report Filipino
: successes that never were, it is possible
that there may be grain Of truth in an

may be the fact that the rebels have seized
