Mr. Stewart left for tho train. Mr. Fox

lue professor exhibited the drawings
lor a ntue machine that he had invented
for the measurement of voltaic currents
of electricity. One of his surprising
uiscovenes is an ink mat must prove
blessing to the blind. He threw a white
powder into a bottle and poured a little
water on it. After tho bottle was well
shaken he dipped a pen into tho mix
ture, and wrote the word "Boston " on
Uiflerent sheets of letter paper. The
writing dried in a few minutes and raised
itself on the paper the same as let! era in
books prepared expressly for the blind
Xhe color of the writing wbb a clear
white, and it looked as though it had
been cut and pasted upon the letter
paper. It varied in height according to
the sizing of the paper. If the surface
was smooth and polished the letters
were bold and clean cut. They were
t asod so much that a blind person ac
customed to reading books with the
fingers could easily decipher the mann
script. With tho aid of the rack used
by William Trescott in writing Lis
"History of the Conquest of Mexico,"
and the uso of Edison's procuration.
blind men and women could correspond
. neirly as readily as other persons. The
professor says that he shall continue his
experiments until he finds the paper
oesi auaptea 10 tne use of the ink.
Even while waiting for the ink to drv on
one of tho sheets, he made a singular
discovery. He held the sheet te the
b.azeof a lamp. The word "Boston"
turned a deep red, and finally became as
uiucK anu Burning as eoony. un remoV'
ing it from the blaze and looking at it
on the surface, the ink changed to a
color restmbhng the under side of a
mushroom. The paper differed from
that previously used, and the letters but

ture acted upon the paper like an acid,
It ate the impurities in the sheet, and

But a more surprising discovery was
made. The ink seemed to act different
ly on different words, and it is possible
that Mr. Edison may find a wood on
which tho ink would stand out so much
that artists could use it in drawing de
signs on blocks, and stereotyped plates
could be taken - without sending the
blocks to a wood engraver. Such' a dis
covery would almost put an end to wood
engraving.
- In answer to an inquiry concerning
his ear trumpet, the professor said he
had received hundreds of letters from
deaf persons. He had not yet perfected
the machine, and could not say when he
would do so. He needed suoh an n
strument himself as much as anybody,
- for he is terribly deaf, and he should
drive away at it as fast as possible.
The megaphone was not in the labor a-
, tory. This wonderful instrument has
three funnels, modelled after a W. The
two wings are funnels with tubing lead
ing to each ear. The centre is a mouth
piece through which the operators talk.
The instrument is simply an atmos
pherical telephone. With megaphones
conversation can be carried on through
a distance of from one to two mileB and
more.
"Do you see that house?" said Griffin
during tue alternoon. He pointed to a
cottage more than a mile away. ""Well,
' they were talking with megaphones be
tween the laboratory and that house the
other day, and every whisper was heard."
We were standing on the veranda, which
commands a view so quietly beautiful
that Mr. Edison says he saw none that

Frank J. Teetera, the carrier-pigoon

number of birds, for the purpose of put

off on the Mohawk River bridge at the
foot of Genesee street. The birds took
flight handsomely, some rising until lost
w sight and all striking a bee line for
Troy. Mr. Teeters and Mr. Richardson
of Green Island several days ago let two

to get the proper direotion. The conse

any io tue ciry. une was lound on
Fayette street, and died soon after from
exhaustion. The other was found near
Bagg's Hotel, was injured while being
captured, being mistaken for a wild
pigeon, and also died. Inasmuch as tho
flying of pigeons through this latitude
is likely to continue, it may bo well for
all to note the following characteristics
of carrier birds, so that they may not be
unfortunately mistaken for those of
other specimens. The carrier pigeon is
always of a uniform color, never mot
tled. There are broad white circles
around its eyes which are hawk-like in
clearness. The nose from the head
proper to the beak is unusually broad.
Carrier pigeons also bear the names of
their owners on their wings, but the
other characteristics mentioned should
enable all to tell them at a distanoe and
thus do them no harm. Mr. Teeters says if
the weather is not hazy any match for the
distance of a hundred miles should be
successful. Misty or rainy weather does
not obstruct a bird's vision so much as
hazy weather, when it is almost always
nonplussed, ne thinks that the faculty
possessed by the bird to find its way
back to its native cot is due almost en
tirely to its memory of places. Young
birds aro trained by taking them further
and further away from home until they
have finally, as it were, nremorized a
long distance. Birds that have once
reached Troy successfully from Utica
can the next time be taken to Syracuse.
T -' At .J. .

they can see Utica then their flitrht to '
Troy is probable. If they cannot see
Utica, or some other place thev remem
ber, they circle round Syracuse, and if
mey sun jaii to recognize any land
marks, eventually return to that city,
bewildered, and often exhausted. At
such times they fall a prey to evil-disposed
persons, fand perhaps often to
well-meaning people who think they are
bagging some game by capturing them.

The Sew Carpet-Bug.
the fourth volume of "Entomo
In
logical Contributions by J. A. Lintner,
extracted from the " Thirtieth Annual
Report on the New York State Museum
of Natural History," will be found,
among other articles, one upon the new
carpet-bug, the ravages of which have
since 1861, caused much alarm in this
country. Not satisfied with devouring
the fibre of the carpet in spots, cases are
cited where entire breadths have been
cut across as if bv scibors. In 1876
this insect was very abundant in Sche
nectady, and on careful investigation it
was determined bv Mr. Lintner to be
AnthrenuB scrophularice, a near rela
tive of the small A. mustBorum. which
has been for many years the pest of
publio museums, although much the
ess destructive of the two. The larva
in its adult form is about three-sixteenths
of an inch in lencrth. and the adult is
very lightly colored in ban of black,
white and soarlet. Tho best place for
detecting these insects is hdou the
edges of carpets where they are nailed
down. Professor Lintner thinks that
should it become as abundant as some
of its allies, it is difficult to conceive
how we can indulge in the luxury of
carpets in our homes. Even now, where
it is established, nothing but a frequent
overhauling and shaking will prevent
its ravages. The ordinary remedies of
camphor, pepper, turpentine, tobacco,
carbolic acid, etc, aro of no avail. Ote
method will probably be to introduce
into the rooms certain plants of which
these insects are fond, and which will
attract them, and then to knock them
off into boiling water after they have
collected upon the flowers. Professor
Lintner refers, in this connection, to
the long catalogue of injurious insects
received irom Europe, and to the com
paratively small return we have been
able to make. Among the more im
portant species he mentions the Hessian
Hy, the cheese midge, the house fly, the
Croton-bug, the grain weevil, all the
destructive moths, the asparagus beetle.
etc. Of the very few of our r ative pests
which have been transmitted to Europe,
tho most obnoxious is the potato-buy.

Where Tin Ores are Found.
Tin is one'of the earliest metals known
which is contrary to what, not many
years ago, was the general opinion of
scientific men. The researches, how
ever, which, within the last twenty
years, have been instituted with regard
to the earliest races inhabiting Europe,
have conclusively shown that weapons
and implements of bronze (an alloy of
tin and copper) were probably the
metallic articles earliest in use, after
those composed of copper alone, and
before the introduction of iron. In tho
curious "lake dwellings," discovered in
Switzerland, not only bronze imple
ments, but bars of pure tin have been
discovered. The proportion of tin varies
from four to twenty per cent, about
twenty per cent being the most common.
The principal present sources of tin are,
first, Cornwall, where it is now almost
exclusively procured from the mines In
stead of washing, or "stream works;"
second, Saxony or Bohemia, in small
quantities, and exclusively from mines;
third, Banca and other islands of the
Malay Archipelago, tho Malay Penin
sula, as well as parts of Hindoetan and
Burmah; all the productions from these
(now furnishing the greater part of tin
commerce) known generally as "Straits
tin." being derived from steam works;
fourth, New South Wales, Queensland,
and other parts of Australia, together
with Tasmania, Spain, Bolivar and Mex
ico, also furnish (or have lately done
so) some portion of the tin commerce.
Greenland. Janan. Finlnnd Miliaria
Iceland and Madagascar, and some other
localities, have also yielded tin in greater

A Bold Bank Bobbery.

abont fifteen hundred inhabitants in La

an mat part or ijafayette county is done
by the Concordia Havings Bank, of which
j . ix. Jjonoeiener is president and A.
Ficker cashier. During the afternoon,
about 1:30 o'clock, three men entered
the bank. One of them asked the cash
ier, who was alone in the bank, to change
a ten-dollar bill. While he was chang
ing the bill another man jumped over
tne counter and caught the cashier by
the arm and placed one hand over his

there was between $2,000 and $3,000 iu
the bank. During the robbery, a gen
tleman named Sodeman was near the

guarding the door, called him to advance,
instead of which he turned and ran.

A Terrible Earthquake.
The Earthquake of Jamaica, in 1692,
is one of the most dreadful that history
has to record. It was attendod with a
hollow rumbling noise like that of thun
der, aud in less than a minute all tho
houses one side of the principal street
in the town of Port Royal sank into a
fearful gulf forty fathoms deep, and
water came roaring up where the houses
had been. On the other side of the
street the ground rose up and down like
the waves of the sea, raising the houses
and throwing them ioto heaps as it sub
sided. In another part of the town the
street cracked along all its length, aud
the houses appeared suddenly twico as
ir apart as tuey were before. In many
places the earth opened and closed
again, so that several hundred of these
i . . ...
upeumgB were to do seen at the same
time; and as the wretched inhabitants
ran out of their tottoring dwellings, tho
earth opened under their feet, and in
some cases swallowed them np entirely;
wuue in otuers, tne earth suddenly clos
ing, caught them by tho middle, and
mius crushed them to death. In some
cases these fearful openings spouted up
cataracts of water, which were attended
uy a most noisome stench. It is not
possible for any place to exhibit a scone
of greater desolation than the whole
island presented at this period. The
thundering bellowing of the distant
mountains, the dusky gloom of the sky.
and the crash of the falling buildings
gave unspeakable horror to , the 3cene.
Such of the inhabitants as were saved
sought shelter on board the ships in the
i t . .... .
uaroor, ana remained thero for more
than two months,, the shocks continuing
wnu more or less violence every day.
When, at length, tho inhabitants were
enabled to return, they found the whole
face cf the country changed. Very few
of tho houses which had not been swal
lowed np were left standing, and what
had been cultivated plantations were
converted into large pools of water.
The greater part of the rivers had been
choked np by the falling in of detached
masses of the mountains, and spreading
ver the 'valleys, they had changed
what was once fertile soil into morasses.
whioh could only be drained by cutting
new channels for the rivers; while the
mountains themselves had changed their
shapes so completely that it was con
jectured that they had formed the chief
seat oi the earthquake.
A Romance of Three Thousand Miles.
The Halifax papers contain the fol
lowing: "At Victoria. B. C at St.
John's Episcopalian Church, by the
Rev. Tercival Jenns. John L. Lord, of
New Westminster, B. 0., to Isabella,
eldest daughter of Robert Brander.

The young lady in the case had made
the acquaintance of the gentleman by
means of photography and correspond
ence. She left Halifax for her new
home, and arrived there safely. She
had not seen her intended since she was
child at which time he. too. was a
resident of Halifax. After making him
self a comfortable home in the far West
the gentleman yearned for a wife, find
opened a correspondence with old friends
in the sister province. Shortly after the
Halifax yonng lady bade adieu to her
father at New York. While she was on
htr way to San Francisco, a young 1 viy
boarded the train who was also bound to
British Columbia, and, singularly
enough on a Bimilar errand to meet and
maray her lover (a lawyer), whom she
had not seen for ten years. The two
young ladies became fast friends, and
together embarked from 'Frisco for Vic-
toria, British Columbia. Here they
were met at the steamer by the respect

were intimately acquainted, and had
met, without previous arrangement,
from different points, each to meet his
intended bride. The young lady who
entered the train between New York and

Halifax bride, while her lover was
groomsman, and the father of the
groomsman gave the bride away. The

A Famous Guide.
Pike, the famous guide of the Yose-
mite Valley, has recently run down to
San Francisco, for the first time in
twenty-six years. He was born in Ten
nessee, but crossed the plains soon after
the discovery of gold in California, being
one oi the few survivors of the ill-fated
party that first attempted the perilous
passage of the Death's Valley route. He
was an associate of Peg-leg Smith, who
amputated his own leg with a hunting
knife, taking np the arteries and dress
ing the stump without assistance. This
operation was necessary inasmuch as he
naa received a wound from a poisoned
arrow in a skirmish with Indians and
illustrated an important principle now
familiar to every college student that
of sawing one's own leg off short. Pike
first visited the Yosemite in 1852. the
year after its discovery by white men.
and he has remained in those mountain
solitudes ever since, this being his first
excursion. During recent years he has
pursued the occupation of guide with
thrift and profit. In ascending Mount
Whitney, however, he contracted a bron
chial affection and lost his voice so that
he cannot now speak above a whisper.
He has been commissioned by hotel pro
prietors in the Yosemite to visit Oregon
lor the purpose of procuring new varie
ties of plants and trees for the valley.
Some time ago an Indian burial
ground was discovered on the Genesee
itiver, seven miles irom iieifast, near
the former site of the old Indian council
house of the Six Nations. Within these
graves were placed, at the time of burial,
brass kettles six inches in diameter,
coarse cloth, pieces of buckskin, beads
and paint, probably vermillion, gold
and copper rings, some with stone set
tings, halves of bells similar to sleigh
bells, pieces of hollow brass, each of
which contained a thong of buckskin, a
bracelet of blue beads with a triangular
pendant of agate, a stone pipe with a
stem three-fourths of an inch in thick
ness, and iron knives badly rusted. Mr.
Letchworth is having a collection of
these Indian relics made, to be deposited
in the museum upon Glen Irish, and

Roundabout Ways of Hearing.
There is a passage from the cavity of
the drum of the ear to the throat, known
as the eustachian tube. Its main pur
pose seems to bo to regulate tho pressure
of air in tho cavity; but, under certnui
circumstniioes, it serve to convey sound
to tho inner ear. Writers on phj Biology
record instances in whioh persons who
coma not hear through the external ear
wore enabled to do so through the
mouth. Another roundabout way of
hoaring is by moans of the teeth. A
simple experiment illustrates the trans
mission of sonorous sounds by the teeth.
and also shows that solid bodies convey
feeble vibrations better than the air.
