$4,000. The shipowners were sued for
that amount; but, the packing being
considered faulty, the claim was dis

HUNDREDS PUT TO DEATH
Eighty Four Soldiers and 543 Civil

The Rech (St. Petersburg paper,)
has obtained and made public the of
fetal statistics of the executions Ill
Russia during the last year on SEN
fences imposed by the military district
courts The total number executed is
627, of whom eighty-four were soldiers
and 542 civilians.
According to the official classified
lions 433 persons were hanged or shot
for violence, siXty-two men were exc
cuted for mutiny or other offenses
against military discipline, fifty-one for
crimes against tie state, and four for
desertion. The balance is not speci-
fed.
The Baltic provinces took the lead
in the number of executions with 1884,
This was due to the final stamping
out of the instruction. The Kiev
region was next with eighty-four exc
cutions. Odessa counted up sixty-nine,
Warsaw sixty-five, and Moscow fifty
nine.

TRe-TgIep5none.

Professor Alexander Graham Bell y
reported to have explained in a lecture
how he came to invent the telephone
as follows:
my father invented symbol by
which deaf mutes could converse, and
finally | invented an apparatus by
which the vibrations of speech could be
seen, and it turned out to be a tele-
phone. 1t occurred to me to make a
machine that would enable one to hear
vibrations. I went to an aurist and he
advised me to take the human ear as
my model. He supplied me with dead
mans ear, and with this ear expert
mented, and upon applying the appara-
tus l found that the dead mans ear
wrote down the vibrations.
II arrived at the conclusion that if
could make iron vibrate on a dead
mans ear l could make an instrument
more delicate which would cause those
vibrations to be heard and understood
thought if 1 placed delicate piece of
steel over an electric magnet could
get vibration, and thus the telephone
was completed.
'The telephone arose from my at
tempts to teach the deaf to speak 1t
arose from my knowledge, not of cleo
tricity, but as teacher of the deaf

stopping from time to time to plead
with the men who followed in their
wake to defend the sacred rights of
he nation. The two princesses sub
