There are many cases, however, in which it 'would be udvunt&geous to be able to transmit a sllgbtstreas in order to ring a bell, etc., without having recourse to the unsightly cord or to electricity, which necessitates the use of a battery and an Heetro-nuijrnet, This may be done by means of a simple and Ingen ious arrangement devised by Mr.Kmeat PLANS OP FIRST AND SECOND FLOORS.

According to Lord Koylelgh, certain experiments have shown vibration of sound having an amplitude of less than one-iweive millionth of a centimeter could still a fleet the sense of hearing. Supposing it susceptible of being seen, such a vibration would be so abort that it would have to be enlarged 100 timea before the most powerful microscope ould render it visible. Young' people can hear high notes which are inaudible to their elders, and it is believed that babies in particular are gifted in hear ing sounds whjch ar not vouchsafed to the ears of more mature man.

Te Stop Pleat Orewth. A German chemist, says Merck's lie ort, has prepared a fluid thaUhas the power, when injected into the tissue of a plant near its roots, of anesthetizing the plant. The plant does not die, but stops growing, maintaining its fresh, green oppcarnnce, though its vitality is apparently suspended. It is also inde Indent of the changes in temperature, the most delicate hothouse plants con tinuing to bloom In the open. The com position of the fluid is shrouded in the greatest secrecy, but it is said to have a pungent odor and to be colorless.

' ...(. ' THROUGH A FLEXIBLE WIRE. ISowden and the principle of which may be understood by a reference to tho ac companying figure. It wetakeaflexiblo wire it will be impossible to transmit the least etrens between its two ex tremities, but if we juxtaKe two flex ible wires and make them interdepend ent here uml, there we shall be able upon giving a motion to one of the ex tremities to transmit the itme to the other, despite tho flexibility of the wires and the fact that they are free and floating in space. In practice It Is preferable that one of the wires shall bo inextensible and the other incompressible, ami the best results will be obtained in arrang ing the two wires concentrically. Tj this effect the external wire is wound in juxtaposed spirals ami the inexten sible one is arranged In the interior of the tube formed by the spiral of the external wire. The interior wire then works within the tulie, the. two extremi ties of which are. carefully fixed. The tension exerted upon the Internal wire is thus freely transmitted, even when the external wire Is left floating or even when a loop Is formed in it. It Is thus possible to exert an action to a distance by fixing the double wire per manently in place like the wire of on elect rle bell. A MUSICAL BICYCLE. Kovrl uml HlKhly lutereatinw lovvn liou latrtMlucrd with ttreat flne rna In tierinsoy. The bicycle has reached another phase of its constant development through a novel ond highly In4eretiiig invention, consisting in a mimical in strument which may be attached to any bicycle and pluys popular airs, without the aid of tho rider, in a loud and melodious manner, wften the machine is in motion. This Instrument consti tutes an entertaining companion for the bicyclist on his roamlngs, whdehore frequently rather lonely; it is so much more welcome as it will beacompaniiui entirely submissive to the rider's wishes. It has been invented, pnteutwl and placl upon the market by a firm In Hamburg, and is fittingly called "troubadour, after the wandering musicians of tbe mkldle ages. We bad occasion recently to attend a trial ride in the Hamburg Zoological garden with this new musical instrument, and cheerfully confirm the excellent effect prod need. Tbe director of the concern had the cycles provided with the new musical apparatus pass before us rid den by employes, and we heard a loud sounding, well-imed music, after the style of the "herophone." This novelty is sure of great popularity among cyclists, tt will also be beneficial in a hygienic respect, asercesslvely fast rid ing will be prevented. As e matter of fact, the musla only sounds well when the rider does not exceed a velocity of IS kilometers (0.3 Tulles) per hour. We will odd that in future a sort of orches tra band may be formed for the popular eyele parades by means of these instru ments tuned to the time. As is well known, the music haa been the mort dif ficult part of these parodee.
