An Invention Ihmt Will Discover thsMov*menta ot Large Bodies Miles Away, Hakrisbukq, December 19.—Additional details of the invention ot Daniel Drawbaugh, by which the presence of large bodies of men on land or ot sblp* on the ocean can be detected, have been made public by the inventor. Tbe Instruments consist of what Drawbaugh calls a microphone and a registering dial Tbe microphone, an extremely sensitive oombiaation of wire, is piaoed in a hollow Iron tab* hermetically sealed. The microphone when need on land is attached to an iron screw with a very wide thread by means of which tt is sunk firmly into tbe earth. An insulated wire, which may be burled or run over tree tops, connects with a galvanic battery and the registering dial, which may be placed mi tee away. The registering dial Is surmounted by a needle that works from a zero point. Underneath the dial In a small circular brass box is another needle in the form of a walking beam on side, wheel steam hosts. When th* vibrations of soaud, either by the medium of

earth, water, ot sir, the waves affect tbe sensitive microphone, and tbe needle beneath the dial is at onoe caused to dip. Tbe dipping puts oue end ot the steel Into a diminutive pot ot mercury, and a new local current of electricity Is started, which moves the needle

Thera are thirty-four oatoons outside the city within the designated radius. These escape tbe one-hundred-dollar tax whieh tha city saloons pay, and are left free to operate ail night and on Sundays.
