ORIGIN OF THE TELEPHONE.
II Sprung From Bells Efforts to l.ach
the Deaf to Speak.

Professor Alexander Graham Bell
Is reported to have explained in lee
ture how he came to invent the tele-
phone 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 1t turned out to be n 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 o
dead mans ear. and with this eur |
experimental. and upon applying the
apparatus | found that the dead mans
ear wrote down the vibrations.
Il arrived at the conclusion that If
could make iron vibrate on dead
mans ear ! could make an instrument
more delicate which would cause
those vibrations to be heard and un.
derstood. thought II | placed deli
cate 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. IA
arose from my knowledge not of eIec-
tricity, but as a teacher OF the deaf.
Had ] been an electrician would not
nave attempted It."

VENUS HOT AND COLD.
Ono Half the Planet Burns, While tho
Other Half Always Freezes.

Venus. the evening star" Of the po-
cts. the most brilliant object In our
western sky. that planet which re-
wolves around the sun in path inside
ours, must If inhabited have beings of
very different type from ourselves,
sor Venus has always had one hemi-
sphere turned toward the sun and one
turned away from 1t. Consequently 1t
Is always daytime and summer on
0ne-half Of Venus. always night and
winter on the other half.
AS Venus is more than 23,OOO.OOO
miles nearer the sun than we are. 1t
must be twice as hot on her day side
as 1t ever Is at our equator. And on
her night side. where ray or sun.
light has never shone. 1t must be SO
cold that the air Is liquefied. II not
solidified. There must be constant
uprush Of hot air from the scorched
surface and corresponding inrush of
Icy air from the frigid side. Along the
boundary between the two hemi-
spheres this must cause violent and
perhaps almost perpetual rainfall.
Seen through a small telescope or
field glass Venus often appears like a
crescent. Then are visible the pro-
jections that can be nothing but noun
tains of great height. - New York

Birds as LARGE Eaters.

1t may not be thought that Of all an.
Imals birds are among the largest eat.
ers. This means. of course. In proper.
ton to their weight. Some birds are
known TO consume two and one-half
times their weight of food in twenty
four hours. The heron. which has q
light weight of four pounds In spite OF
Its size, Is striking example. One
was lately caught which had just
swallowed two trout Of one and one
half and two pounds. Wild pigeons
are among the foremost eaters, and
they make most copious repast
whenever an abundance of food Is
found. Thus a single pigeon picked
up u thousand grains OF wheat In one
day. Scientific American.

The peculiar action Of the air Of the
mine was such as preserved the body
so perfectly that it appeared asleep

The miners were puzzled at the cir
cumstances. No one In the district had
been missed within their remembrance,
and at last il was resolved TO bring in
the oldest inhabitant. an old lady over
eighty years old. who had lived single
I'm the village all her life.
When she was taken into the room
where the dead man lay a strange
thing occurred. The old lady fell on
the corpse and kissed 1t and addressed
1t by every term OF endearment spoken
only love- and she had waited for him
her long life. She knew he had not
forsaken her.
The old lady and young man had
been betrothed sixty years before. Her
lover had disappeared mysteriously,
and she had kept her faith during the
long interval.
The miners removed the old lady to
her house, and that night her faithful
spirit rejoined that of her long lost

MURDER TRIALS.
Holland Has a System Of Its Own For
Dispensing Justice.

Dispensing Justice.
A learned and capable jurist has as
serted that the French method Of legal
procedure, which, contrary to our own,
presumes an indicted person guilty un-
III he is proved innocent. comes nearer
dispensing actual justice than our own
system.
But In Holland the courts have, In
some respects. a better system than
that Of the French. The accused In
every case has the benefit Of the doubt.
and circumstantial evidence as the
only foundation for a plea Of convic-
tion Is in disfavor.
The Dutch do not have juries, and
there Is no battle OF wits among coun-
sci. All questions, whether by the
prosecution or the attorney for the ac-
cused, are put to the witness through
the judge after he has weighed the jus
tce Of the Interrogation.
This feature OF their system has
some pronounced advantages over our
own. 1t eliminates the practice Of con-
fusing the witness or the accused by
misleading questions. 1t renders i'm
possible the abomlnable practice In our
courts known as the "browbeating" Of
witnesses. which unfortunately Is per-
mitted to an extent that causes the In
telligent observers blood to boil at
times because Of its unfairness and
cruelty. 1t makes the solemn business
OF dispensing justice a common trade
instead Of heavenly vocation.-Sioux
