At first view it may appear a very ample question to inquire what the noil make it per fect, " "Auvbody," said Professor Johnson, "who has used the phonograph very much kuows that there are time* once in a while when for a moment the ma chine will reproduce the Voice with an aeouracy iff articulation and fulness of volume which it does not ordinarily at tain. Then it will suddenly lose the Sower, and the operator searches iu vain or the secret. 1 am looking for the conditions required to perpetuate that excellence which is uow only occasional. I find that throe conditions are re quired." "Arc these conditions which yon speak of purely mechanical and such as can be ascertained by experiment?" "Oh, certainly. The first is an ad justable mouth-piece, so as to regulate the tympanum and control the amplitude of the vibratious of the plate. Another ueed is to ascertain the precise angle at which the needle should turn. The third is to learn the very best material of which hi make the fod. or receiving tablet. The first of these I have already provided for by patting iu the month piece with a thread. The second lam experimenting on by makiug the needle adjustable. Concerning the third, we are still undecided. Boisdes, you see we have made a groove lengthwise of the cylinder, for the purpose of fasten ing the foil on easily, and a new and simple adjustment of the needle bv screw*. Then this arrangement by which we throw the cylinder to the le/t, in stead of having to turn it back all the way. And some other thing* that we can't tell the pnblie yet" " One fact," continued Mr. John son, "we have established in our experiments is that the articulation of the instruments is perfect jnst in pro portion as the workmanship is skilful and the parts ore accurately made aud put together. This is to a groat extent a protection against counterfeiting and infringement of patent." " Then," said the Graphic, " the instruments now on exhibition through out the country are very imperfect?" " They are, indeed. They arc as good as we could make at the time with our limited knowledge of the conditions, and they are very curious. But this is what 1 want to bear in mind," said Mr. Johnson, earnestly. " that steady im provements are being made in the pho nograph, and onr company will certainly succeed in turning ont a machine wi ich will be widely demanded -for its practi cal utilitv." Mr. Jo"hnaon continued: " Now, there ia something else we will show yon. We will talk to the phonograph here, and then, when we go down town to our headquarters, we will send it to yoa by attaching a telephone to the mouthpiece of the phonograph. Here, Edison, you express yourself." Mr. Edison thereupon sat down to the large and handsome machine, threw it into adjustment by a movement of his finger, and sang into the mouth piece upon the mica disk, which has been substituted for the iron disk in the ma chines first made, the following pathetic song: There is s boarding bouse Sot fr awer, while the manufacturer of lasts snd boot trees takes 500,000 cords of maple, beech and birch, and about the same amount is required tor plane-stocks and the handles of tools. The packing-boxes made in the United States in 1874 amounted to $12,000,000, while the timber manufac tured into agricultural implements, wagons, etc., is more than $100,000,000.

Borne interesting hints concerning watch-springs and oil have appeared in the columns of the Watchmaker. When a main-spring is cleaned, most inex perienced workmen, remarks this jour nal, will take hold of one end and pall the spnnitabout half its length, straight ont, to save time—a practice which will break springs when nothing else will, and springs treated thns generally break after the watch has been delivered to the customer only a few days. Breaking into many pieces is owing to the acid in the oil which is used. Thus, supposing the mainspring a fine one, and to hare been evenly tempered and properly cleaned—if, now, old oil is used, or that of an inferior quality if fresh, the acid it contains will eat into the spring, and finally destroy its texture; the coil near est the center breaks first, and as it re coils it breaks every coil there is in the barrel, and sometimes each coil iB broken twice, the fact being that the spring has become so impregnated with acid that it has no life left. To make the oil pure, take a good-sized bullet, or other piece of lead, which has a thick coating of lead rust, cut it up fine, put into the oil, and have it stand for two weeks. This causes the acid to settle, aDd it then re sembles milk at the bottom; on being poured oil the top, the oil is in a pure state. Common clock oil can be treated j in this manner and made better than | some watch oil. HESTERS EAR* I.IPR. Caliare I'paa lhi I'ralrle. The Peculiar Humor at Ike W cat.

A Scheme of Murder. A San Francisco correspondent of a Wi England pajx-r relate* tlift follow ing incident, wuicli in said to have oc curred some time ago at the Palace Hotel in that city. "A gentlemanlike young man call* upon a lanker, 'wishing to change a large amonut of gold for ta{H>r money' of a certain denomination.

MOOT observations have been made on this singular phenomenon, navs a French paper, bat hitherto with bat little suc cess. However, a well-known natural ist, Rev. H. McCook, has for some time past turned kia attention to tin* subject, and has succeeded in detecting many new details in the performance. Very recently be watched some groups of young wolf-spiders (Lyroaid't), which crowded the top* >f railings in a mead ow. Their faces were turned in the direction from which the wind was blowing, the body of each was elevated to an angle of forty five degree*, the claws brought together, and the legs stiffened. From the spinnerets at the apex of the abdomen a single thread was exuded, and rapidly drawn out to a length of several feet by the breeae. Gradually, the foremost pair of legs sank to the level of tire wood, aud the entire attitude became that of intense resistance. Then, suddenly and simul taneously, the eight claws were unloosed, ami the spider mounted with a sharp bound into the air, and went careering across the field. As far as could be judged, the insect seemed to take a voluntary leap at the moment of loosing its hold. One of them, by good fortune was followed through its flight. The position of the holy was soon reversed, the head being turned in the same direction as the wind. Tiie legs were spread out, and were nnitod at the claws by delicate filaments of silk. After fly ing a distance of about eighty feet, the spider gradually settled down on the meadow. The difficulty of these olwerva tious will be readily understood, for they require exact suitability of posi tion as to light, the limitation of the flight to a moderate height, and a com paratively slow speed. A (Quaint City. In the old Dutch citv of Amsterdam all fashionable booses border on aeanal. The streets art' named from th canals that pass through them. Tha houses are not built upright, but lean toward one another, as though very polite or systematically drunk. Their tops often nearly touch over the narrow streets. This is saiii to shelter them from the storm. In the gable is a large hook for hoisting every conceivable thing into the bouse* clothes, which are always sent to the country for washing, fruits, butter, coal, turf. Little mirrors jnt ont from mauy windows, so that callars may be seen as they approach the door. Owing to the canala the city is very quiet. It is hard to believe that nearly 300,000 people are gathered In the houses- which stand along the canals. The streets are pawd with stone, as in this country, but there is scarcely any roar of carts or wagons. Boats do dnty in their stead. Some of these are propelled by steam; a few flap their chocolate-colored sails, but the moat are [mslied through the water by means of ong poles. These boats bear all man ner of freight. Many boats furnish the home for the lymtman and his family. They are not sirnnly workshops. There is a kind of homely romance in the boat man's life. By the side of the canals there is generally a narrow carriage path and two foot-paths. A line of trees on eit her side of the path furnishes a pleasant shade in summer. The arißto tsrafs are careful to walk in the paths next to the canal, as it is a mark of good breeding. korjtlnir Thine* l.lwljr Two woman caught aight of oaoli olbar in one of our ilry gtioun alorc* tlia otlior day, aud malting forward annul* taucoiwly with outspread arina, u early dislocated one another's noaon iu trying to find MCII othor'a nioutha.

The importance of thia discovery ia recognized when it in ntated that an average balloon will lone twenty |>er cent, of gae in twenty-tonr hour*. Thin ew idea wa* communicated to the New Yorkera who renewed their previous offer. I'mfiwur King at once accepted, aud the oouatruotiou of the ttalloou, which will ooenpy the whole of the en idling waiter and upriug, will lie at ouoe commenced. The balloon will Ite the largest in the world. It will average about uiuety feet HI diameter and 275 feet in circum ference, with a capacity for holdiug be tweeu 800,000 and 400,1)00 feet of gas.

South African Diamond*. .v-n biter for September, in a eocvud pa|>er on the amine subject contributed to that niagarme, gives some very inter •-sling htatintica about the enormous yield of (.tape diamonds since their com paratively recent discovery in that region. The total yield, up to the pree rut time, is estimated at 1100^000,000, and this immense amount ta augmented by the value of large packages uf dia monds privately carried away by both diggers and buyer*. The Caoo dia monds, which now form the world's only fctw ly supply, nearly all go to London, which has become tbe center, not alone for buying ami selling, bnt also for cutting—au industry once monopolise*] by Amsterdam, but now equally shared by its rival. It will be new to must American readers that within a few rears tbui industry has become estab lished in this ooontry, both in New York and Boston, where the cleaning, cutting and polishing the rough stone is done, as experts tsetify, as well aa it can be done anywhere. Stone* cut abroad sre frequently remodeled and repolialieu in this country, thereby gaining greatly in value, and others abandoned in the rough a* not worth cntting arc here converted into excel lent brilliants. The entire yield at the t'ajH i* thn* classified : per cent, tlrst quality; fifteen per cent, second quality; twenty per cent, third quality; ami the remaining fifty-five per cent, is ground tip and nncil for cutting other stones. The atones arc oUxsed as "Caj*e white," "bre water," "uff-oohir," anil "yellow"—the first being the must nu merous and least valuable, though when they were rarer tliev were mtieh eeteeno-d. If stones of thfs color should ever lwome pojmlar agaiu, there is now ■torel in merchants' safes in London a supply sufficient to work up and cnt for a centnrv to come. White and jmrr one-earnt stones bring at the Cape Sl'J; two to three-carat stones, 820 to $25; four-carat stones, 800 per carat; and ofl-colored stones up to six carats each. 88 to $lO per carat. It is estimated tlyit ten |M*r cent of the white stones find an imtnoibato wle priccifmUy and nltimatelv after cutting, for the Ameri can market. American purchasers, it ia said, are the roost critical judges of dia monds, and will have only the best white. The Cape is now sending 81,- .VKI.OOO worth of diamonds monthly to the London market, and possibly a decline in prices, perhaps a panic, may by ami by result. Is Tlic Moon Dead The qmwtion "la the Moon Dead?" ia ably, though somewhat elaborately discussed by Mr. Proctor, of the London JScha. Although the idea tlbit so vast n surface na that of the moon should re main forever a aceuc of absolute ailcnce and desolation a>ema nlmont beyond be lief, Mr. Proctor does not con sider that any satisfactory evidence of change (from her original condition) lias ever Iwen given, while evidence of such systematic cliauges as we associate with the evidence of ltfo are wanting alto gcther. In several regions the ernat has bean broken, evidently by explosive action. In some places mighty slopes can lie seen, as iu the He* of Herenity, which ia divided through the center by a sort of ridge line. Some astronomers have contended that the darkening of the floor of the great eraUr, Plato (some sixty milea in diameter), proved the existence of vegetation iu some form, while others declare that the supposed darkening is only the effect of contrast. The photographs of the moon taken manv years ago exhibit the same out ward appearance as now. ( hanging From King to Snbject. According to an Arabian paper. At Janaib, the abdication of King John of Abyssinia, was an act in keeping with tlu* sinking romance of bin character ami cari-er, Meoelck 11, who claimed to lie the rightful heir to the crown in virtue of his descent from the Qnoen of Hhebs, hml bv his pretensions excited the ire of king John, who marched against him, and, entering the territo ries of Hhoa, prepared to attack Monelek iu his capital, Aukobeo. A band of priests, however, met the advancing king, and rebuking him for levying war uguiust his rightful sovoreign, sum moned him to abandon his sacrilegious enterprise and recognize Menelek. King John was so affected by their words that, halting his troopß, he eutered the city and in the sight of his army and the population laid off his crown and royal robes and paid homage to Menelek, who embraced him and oonferred new digni ties upon him, besides confirming him in hisorigiual princedom ofKusa. This story comes iu a very round-about way, but is quite likely to be true.
