BUSINESS BULLETIN.
The Few Changes Noted in the Situa-
ton Are in the Fight Direction.

New York City. R. G. Dun &
Co. $ Weekly Review of Trade says:
Little change appears in the com
mercial situation, but progress is in
the right direction in so far as any
difference can be discerned. Recent
gains are maintained in almost every
instance and few further encom'ag
ing symptoms appear; notably the
smaller decreases in railway earnings
and larger forces at work in leading
industries
The iron and steel industry is in g
better position than week ago, al
though new contracts are placed with
much caution and each order is the
subject of extensive negotiations.

The Telephones.

ttV Sta1taSs
Professor Alexander Graham Bell is
reported to have explained in lecture
how he came to invent the telephone
as follows:
MY father invented symbol by
which deaf mutes could converse, and
finally I invented an apparatus by
which the vibrations Of speech could be
seen, and it turned out to be tele-
phone. 1t occurred to me to make a
machine that would enable one to hear
vibrations. / 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 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 could make an instrument
more delicate which would cause those
vibrations to be heard and understood.
Thought il placed delicate piece Of
steel over an electric magnetic could
get vibration, and thus the telephone
was completed. 5; 8.:;
1The telephone arose from my at
tempts to teach the deaf to speak. 1t
arose from my knowledge, not Of cleo
tricity, but as a teacher of the deaf.

have attempted it, g5E-sf

The porter of one of the leading Ber-

venture. Some time ago dealer in
pearls who was stopping at the hotel
told him an infallible way to distin-
guish real pearls from false, which
was to put them on the ground and
stamp on them. If real they would
resist the test; if false they would be
crushed.
+. The porter, however, never had q
chance of putting this theory to the
test until few days ago. The direct.
or of a well known company in Berlin
while dining at the hotel lost valua.

waiter, who gave it to the porter to
return to its owner.
The porter saw his opportunity had
come at last to test the quality of q
pearl. He put the pin on the ground,
placed his heel on it and ground 1t to
powder. When the owner arrived to
claim it there was somewhat stormy
scene, but he was good natured
enough to consent to say no more
about the affair on the porter refund.
