THE WIZARD OF MLNLO PARK. Au Incident of Thomas A. Edison's Early Career—His liirtliday Gift* I?* ia^ac gHOMAS A.EDISON recently celebrated 44tli birthday at 1"8 home at Monlo ion Phonograph Works, in honor of ijgA&Zxf a. the occasion, made \J and presented to him the most perfeot phonograph possible. They -worked on the machine for oyer two months. Every part of the in strument capable of it is plated with gold and silver, and the parts are fin ished to the utmost possible limit. At tached to the machine is a water-motor of improved construction that has been one of the recent triumphs of the great inventor, and that runs the machine Steadily and noiselessly with a mini mum consumption of water. The case is of rare inlaid woods, and is a marvel of painstaking workmanship. The phonograph, if not the most use ful, is certainly the most wonderful of all the wizard's wonderful inventions. When it was first exhibited at the New York Academy of Sciences, a few years ago, a murmur of admiration was heard, which was succeeded by re peated applause. Some of the skep tical members started the rumor that the Academy had been mystified by a clever ventriloquist, and repeated ex periments were required to convince these incredulous persons that no chi canery was used, and that the "talking machine" could bo readily manipulated by anyone. Edison's birthplace is Milan, Ohio. While yet a boy in his teens, telegraphy took great hold upon him, and having one day snatched a station-master's child from in front of an approaching train, the giateful father taught him telegraphy, ami from that time he be came a systematic student. His ready ingenuity suggested all sorts of adapt ations. One day the ice jam broke the cable between Port Huron and Sarnia (on the Canada side); tho river at that point being a'mile and a half in width, all communication by telegraph was out off. Young Edison seized tho valve of an engine that controls the whistle, which he teotod into long and short notes, like the doth and dashes in telegraphy. "Hello, Sarnia, do you get meV" he tooted; no answer. "Hol lo, Sanaa, do yon hear what I say ?" A third and a fourth time the message Was sent over, and finally came the an swer from an engine on the other side; the connection had been made, and communication easily carried on until the cable was repaired. Edison's many inventions are legion, but his phonograph, megaphone, the quadruplex and duplex systems of tel egraphy, his telephone—which alone netted him over one hundred thousand dollars— railway and in candescent electrio light, are but a few of the best known of his most wonder ful and valuable inventions. lteligious ltuimrrs in Russia, When a Russian is converted and feels called upon to turn from his evil ways, as often as not ho joins a sect called the runners (begoonee,) and, taking up his bed, walks about the country for the re mainder of his nutural life and seems to thoroughly enjoy it. No conscien tious member of this peripatetic and pro gressive persuasion can pitch his tont for long anywhere on this transitory earth. A day and a night is the usual thing; a week is exceptional; a month's halt would be evidence of lamentable backsliding, while a still longer sojourn would leave no doubt that the impious loitorer had committed the inoxpiablo sin, writes a correspondent. For once a man has been received into the ranks of the begoonee he can no longer be fastened as a nail in a sure place, but is straightway a fugitive and a vaga bondin the earth, and can take nothing for life's journoy, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in his purse, and only a suspicion of spirits in his ca pacious bottle.— New York Journal.

A VARIETY OF CURIOUS AND INTER. ESTING FACTS. Cliaract.rl.ltas of Animal Eifo —The Sphlei and Its Curious Ways—The Quantity ot Fooil We Eat—Precious Woods—History lu a Pack or Playing Cards—Eto., Etc. BY PROF. J. F. ELSOM. Characteristics of AU Animal Eife. In the beginning the student of nat ural history is taught that there are Wrious ways of distinguishing the lower forms of animal life from the vegeta ble. In the struggle for existence, for life itself, even, which is going on per petually throughout the whole of ani mate creation, as the rivers of life murmur ceaselessly of the storied past, it is perfectly wonderful to notice the phenomenal provisions made by nature for tho preservation of the weaker and more helpless animals. In many cases the color of the creature is adapted in a wonderful way to its mode of living and its place of concealment, contrib uting very materially to its safety. All .who live among the green fields, which, by tho way, is the way to live properly, know how diffioult it is to distinguish the grasshopper from the leaf or blade of vegetation upon which he is at rest, until he betrays himself by moving. Those birds which sing in the hedgerow have feathers upon their backs which harmonize with the color of the leaves about and among wliioh they ilit, while the feathers 011 their breasts borrow the white hue from the clouds above them. The partridge can hardly he distinguished from the stubble where it makes its nest, while in tho more northern countries the winter dress of tho hare and ptarmigan is white, liko tho snow with which tho land scape is usually covered, and upon which these animals are seen. Among marine animals the same natural pro visions prevail, aud go down, however deep, into the water, animal life the same color will he found. The frogs, living in the stagnant pools and muddy ditches by the roadside, are known to vary their color in order to harmonize with tho sand or mud in which they live. The little tree-frog, on the other hand, is green, and thus is with diffi culty distinguished from the tree to which it adheres. Fish, especially those which inhabit fresh water, are so like in color to the weeds and stones among which they lie that it is often very difficult to detect their presence. One of the most wonderful instances of nature's care in providing for the protection of the more defenseless creatures is found in the apparatus foi defense with which the cuttle-fish is provided. The very instant its quick eye catches a glimpse of an approach ing enemy, knowing by instinct alone it is absurd to speak of reason in con nection with these low forms of animal life —the impossibility of seeking safoty by flight, aud having no means of de fense whatever, it prepares at once to seek safety in concealment. To this end it sinks downward rapidly, throw ing out from a vessel with which it is provided, aud nature taught it to use, a stream of fluid with which the blackest paint is light in comparison. This soon colors the water far around, and effect ually conceals tho animal and at the same time is very repulsive to all forms of animal life feeding upon it; and, as it takes considerable time for this to disperse and the water to clear itself, the enemy is generally baffled. If, however, as is sometimes the case, a reasoning animal—man—is in pursuit, and the cuttlo-fish is still in danger, it pours out another and larger flood of ink, and remains perfectly quiet until the danger is past, when it moves off in a circle, making a larger and larger turn until outside the black water its ink lias made. Two Ways. Speaking of spiders, I will relate another little instance that is very in teresting and appropriate in this con nection. Some time ago I noticed a fat old spider camo to feed regularly on a blossom in the laboratory window, and invariably a little honey bee would appear on the blossom at the mue time. This being repeated a number of days—nearly a week—to make sure tho same visitors came every day, the spider and bee each were marked, aud every day the marked insects appeared regularly, would feed often in close proximity to each other without mo testation or desire to intrude, each seeming aware of, but not caring for, the other's presence; and generally about the same time, apparently satis tied, would go away—the spider to his network of traps in an adjoining win dow, and the bee to its hive. Finally one day I caught them both aud mtli lessly killed them. By means of tin microscope, spectroscope, and chemical analysis, found that these insects oh tained from the same flower substances widely dissimilar. One (the spider sought the most energetic poisor known, with which to slay his material for food—the flies; the other soughl that perfect tincture of sweetness (hon ey) upon which to feed when the flowers of the harvest had passed. Each had 0 desire, each sought its gratification, each obtained it from the same flower, obtained its fill, and went away satis tied. A moral should adorn this storyj foi tho truthfulness of which I will vouch. For instance, two persons, without distinction of sex, will meet and talk of a third (perhaps a friend, at least an acquaintance of each); one will linvo discovered all that is pure, good and noble, the sweets of life, as among the attributes of the third person's character; the other all that is low, vile and loathsome, the bitter, noison ous dregs of all human proclivities. Each of these persons is, like the spider and the hie, in soarcli of some thing; tliey find what they desire, perhaps, in the character of one of the most beautiful human flowers; each gets gratification and goes away satis fied from the feast of reason, and, again, liko the bee and the spider, uses tho substance obtained, one for intellectual food for elevating, inspir ing and ennobling fellow-kind; the other for blighting the affections, blasting the aspirations, and ruining the prospects of others, merely that food may ho created from the loath someness this ruin has wrought. The comparison does not end here by any means. But let me ask, reader, aro you a bee or a spider? Tho Greedy Sphler* The ordinary spider, tamed and taught to come for its food, which is not difficult or troublesome to do, will consuuio an immense amount of food in twenty-four hours, amounting, in the aggregate, to a trillo over six times its own weight. At tho same rate of con sumption, a person of average weight, say one hundred . and fifty pounds, would take for his food as follows: Breakfast, a dressed beef, ten gal- | lons of toa. Dinner, twenty dressed sheep, five barrels of potatoes. Supper, fifty loaves of bread, a bar- I rel of butter. Lunch, two hundred pounds of cako, a barrel of wine. And even then would waka at mid night feeling as though he had not eaten a square meal for a week. Hap pily, though, men are not spiders. . A Pack or Playing; Cards. What a history is represented in a pack of playing cards. They contain a spot for each day in the year, a card for each week in the year, a picture for each month in the year, a suit for each season of the year, a numerical color 1 for each minute in an hour, and value, in whist, for each degree of the circle. A hand in an ordinary game of whist would not he rejieated in 154,413 years. The Amount oi* Food We Eat* Every person must eat, sleep, and ■ have some sickness. A person at I seventy years, now not considered very I old, has eaten provisions that would require a train of seventy cars, heavily j laden with food, to transport, has Blept twenty years, and been sick ten j years. Strange, hut not less strange than true. Taken in general, the foregoing is a trifle below the average, j To I fore a llole Through Glass. Very often it is necessary to make a liolo through a jdate of glass. This is very easily done if you only know how. Make a solution of— Tarts, i Oil turpentine 5 Gum camphor !2 Carbolic acid 1-1(3 i Moisten tho drill, and it will work 1 in glass like wax. Cutting Glass* FOR many years it was thought by! scientific men that nothing hut the real diamond would cut glass, but steel can ho made sufficiently hard to cut glass readily, and a substance called zabaslieer, found in the joints of tho bamboo, will, when dry, cut glass read ily. It hardens into a solid lump when exposed to the air. Valuable Woods. SOME woods are more valuable even than the most precious metals. Among the aloe family of trees this is very evi dent. The heart of one of the species of the aloe tree, called tumbac, 1 believe, that grows in tropical coun tries, sells in India for its weight in gold.

"Why, you're going the wrong way. Can't you see you're faced toward Chicago? Turn the seat over."
