AT Brighton. England. a phenomenal
monograph has just been made. 1t
~reprOduces speeches with such in
creased volume of sound that the
words can be distinctly heard ten
miles away. 1t is, in fact, a talking
siren whereby the human voice is mul.
tiplied in volume and penetrating
power until a "few remarks, made
by DR.. Depew, for instance, in New
York City, could be heard by FIVE
millions of people standing in the open
air within a ten-mile radius of his
rostrum. This marvellous machine for
the magnifying of sound waves plain
ly threatens the business of the cam
paign spellbinder. A few hundred OF
them loaded with the rough-riding
rhetoric of Roosevelt or the forensic
fireworks of Foraker, planted at points
ten miles apart, would cover the
United States from ocean to ocean
with one continuous torrent of i'm
periaI eloquence. If the Railway and
Engineering News correctly describes
this wonder. the spell of the spellbind
er is broken and his occupation may
soon be gone

Species Of the American skunk.

There are distinct species Of the
American skunk-the jet black aud the
black and white striped. The latter
is regarded as one of the most beauti-
full creatures of the animal kingdom.
Its pelt is highly priced, as 1t makes
the prettiest Of muffs. wraps and neck
boas. The jet black pelt is also high
ly priced, but is not SO valuable as the
black and white striped. The pelt OF
the latter can always be sold for ole
dollar. The oil from the skunk Is
worth fifty cents an ounce, and Is
used in severe cases Of cronp. colds
and kindred diseases. The oil does
not have the unpleasant aroma Of the
skunk.

Is there any good reasons why clos
cts and refrigeratirs that are large
enough to hold a person should be
made SO that they cannot be opened
from the inside? asks the Philadelphia
Record. Many tragedies have result
ed from the inability Of persons ac-
ci%dentally imprisoned in such inclos-
nres to open the doors. Half an hour
inside a restaurant refrigerator has
probably ruined the life of a waiter

other whe the proper conditions are
observed, and these are not nearly so
difficult as many are apt to suppose.
Yet the price remains high, and there
are times nearly every winter when
the demand cannot be supplied except
at rates which if the grower could get
them would make this the most profit
able crop grown. In such eases it is
the fact that parsnips are held back
by the difficulty of getting them to
market that makes them scarce, rather
than any real deficiency in the supply
if it could be brought to the con-
sumner. The parsnip is SO hardy that
it is often left in the ground all winter,
and thought it must be frozen it thaws
out in contact with the soil and it's
flavor is not injured. There is a diff

From Daily Republican.

From Daily Republican,.
Ii the Republican party in this State
is eyer to become power Tor any
important reforms in the State, the
different factions must bury the hatchet
and act together. Without unity the
Democrats WIN soon gain the control of
the Legislature aud make laws to suit
themselves. The character Of these laws
may be Inferred from those heretofore
enacted for the government of our city,
and continuing Democrats in office. In
the two lower counties every Republican
vote was required to elect majority OF
the Republican candidates to the Lcsis-
lature, and even in New Castle county in
several districts Republicans were elect
ed by very narrow majoritics. Less
than fifty votes properly distributed
would have placed the Democrats in the
ascendency in the Legislature. Rcpubli-
cans mul therefore see the necessity of
harmonizing if they wish TO retain the
advantages which they have won. If
they have not policy enough to see this,
they are very poor politicians.
