f Tire Talking. At the recent Royal Society conversazione in Ixmdun, an Interesting niodllicaUon of the phonograph was shown by Mr. T. C. Porter. The trumpet was removed from an ordinary phonograph, and the diaphragm covered by a small chamber, through which a mixture of coal gas and air was passed. The gas was led from the diaphragm, through two rubber tubes • st the end of which were small burners. The burners were set at an angle I to each other so that the resulting Jet of gas was spread into a sheet. If the phonograph was worked, only ex nernely feeble sounds were produced; hut as soon as the two jets were lighted. the (lame rendered the sound perfectly audible, and the articulation was very neatly as good as could ha obtained with the use of a trumpet.

In a moment’s time you can figure out how much cheaper it will be to use Hanna’s Green Seal Paint on your property than inferior so-called “cheap” paint. Green Seal spreads farther, it excels in covering power, and surpasses in length of service. It protects the wood surface through the hottest summers, and the coldest, wettest winters. Both beautifies and preserves. Shuts out decay and ugliness. The exact formula appears on every package. . _ SOLD BY Allan-Lioyd Lumber Co. Greencastle, Indiana.

A Life-Saving Saab. A Frenchman, M. ('hal)eat, lias Invented a new sash which, he thinks, will keep every one who wears it from drowning. The wonderful article is made of India rubber; but inside it is placed a lime box containing a certain quantity of one of the compounds of calcium. When the sash comes in contact with the sea flic calcium com pound decomposes and produces a I quantity of gas sufficient to inflate the sasli and preserve its wearer from unv risk of death by drowning. Experiment* have been made with this new idea, and so far they have been i at i.- factory.—Exchange. , PK7A A Malay Time Piece.

Then a watchman sails out, the shell is emptied, au3 the process is begun again. A List From the Classic*. New York Slate is full of cities and (owns of ( lassie nomenclature.
