THE GREAT TELESCOPE IN THE LICK OBSERVATORY,

The American Folk bm Society at Cambrldge, Mass.-—Edison's 'New Phonograph, After a Croeiid Swt, Ueport«l to Be a Success.

It ia ten years since fVofessor Edison introduced his phonograph i© the public The original instrument, wonderful and amusing as it was, failed, however, to fulfill the requisites of the inventor, who has recently perfected his invention and brought it nearer to the ideal phonograph.

no. I—this mvr hwiwchuw. The new phonograph, shown in tb«accompanying cuts and made front original illustrations in Scientific American, is about the Size of an ordinary sowing machine, and in construction something like a very smali engine lathe.

A crucial test of this machine, made recently at Edison's laboratory in Now Jersey, according to the journal referred to, gave results that tended to prove the perfection of the instrument. Perfect reprodnctions of whistling, whispering, all the imperfections of tou«, the half tones and modulations oven, were faithfully reproduced. The new phonograph is to be used for taking dictation, for taking testimony in court, for reporting

American Folk Low Society. At tho recent meeting held in Cambridge*, Mass., for tho purpose of organizing tho "American Folk Lore soeloty," rules* for the government of tho society were enacted, of which tho first declaroa that "tho American Foil I/oro society has for its object tho study •of folk loro iu general, and in particular the collection and publication of tho folk lore of North Amor lea." The rules further provide that the society shall consist of members who nubscribo an annual fee of that each member shall bo eutitled to a copy of tho journal to bo issued by the society that an annual meeting shall bo held and that tho affair* of the society shall bo conducted by a president and a council of fourteen members, to Ixi eloctod annually. Professor E. J. Child, of Harvard university, was elected president

PreliUtorlo Skating.

As is well known, tho art of skating is a ^rehistorio one. In many parts of Europo bones of domesticated animals havo been found which had been used as skates or as runners of small sledges. It is of considerable interest to learu that similar implements are found still in use in several parts of northern Germany. In The Journal of tho

Berlin Ethnological Society slodgea are doscribed which consist of a board resting on the bones of horse. But, besides this, skates are used the runners of which consist of tho wcr jaw of cnttie, the curvature of tho ver side serving admirably the object of tho ate.

Do KoreMts Influence Rainfall? The belief vwy generally exists that the culture of forests inducts an incm-^ of rainfall and that their destruction di aishes it

?Alr.

Henry Gannett, in Science, claims that a satisfactory explanation of this .-. posed phenomenon" has never been offet Ho goes further, and assumes that results gained in our own country go to show "that tho influence of forests upon raiufall, from an economic point of view, is too slight to be of the ioast practical importance."

Water Tower from Artesian Wells. Many artesian wells spout water under a heavy pressure, just as man)* gas wells find tho gas under a pressure of several hundred pounds to tho square inch. This water power Is used in many places in Franco by means of turbine wheels, and it is probable that even the gas jr«ssun» might in some eases also be utilised. In very deep artesian walk the beat of tho water is also utilised.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.

Tba ""Dutch Mail" Hoax—Makeshift of Newspaper Hs. Some fifty years ago, an article appeared fa An English provincial paper, Tho Leicester Herald, under the title of The Dutch Mail,* with the announcement that it had arrived too late for translation and had been set np and printed in the -original. A great deal of attention was attracted to £he article, manyDutch scholars announcing in print that it was not in any-dialect with which they were acquainted, until it -was finally discovered to •be a hoax. Sir Richard Phillips, the editor of the paper, tells this story of how it was •conceived and carried oat: -"One evening before one of our publications, my men and a boy overturned two or three columns of the paper in type. We had to get ready some way for the coaches, which at 4 in the morning required 400 or 500 papers. After every exertion, we were short nearly a column, hut there stood a tempting column of-'pf.an tho galleys. It suddenly struck me that this might be thought Dutch. 2 made up the colpsin, overcame theacruplee of the foreman, ^ind so away the country edition went with its philological puzzle to worry the honest agricultural readers' heads. There was plenty of time to set up a column of plain English for the local edition." Sir Richard tells of one man whom he met In Nottingham who for thirty years preserved a copy of Tho Leicester Herald, hoping that some day the letter would he explained.

Around the World in Eighty Days. If the traveler eonld "ride with the sun" be could go around the world in twenty-four hours without losing any time. But he cannot ride with the sun, and at each place west of the starting point he finds himself later by four minutes for every degree of longitude by which the place is west of that point So when he arrives at tho starting point after circumnavigating the world, he has traveled westward just 360 degH., his watch being put back four minutes for each degree, in order that he may keep the time of the places ha visits. 80 when he gets to a point 360 degs. west of his starting point bis time is just twenty-four hours behind that of the starting point Persons going around the world from west to east gain four minutes for each da* gree traveled, so that when they have gone about the earth they are twenty four hoars ahead of the time of their starting point It is on this fact that Jules Verne's "Aronad the World in Eighty Days" is founded. .f

The Confederacy had four flags, besides tho various stato flogs carried by some of the regiments. Tho familiar "Stars and Bars" was adopted in Murch, 1861, while the capital of tho Confederacy was still at Montgomery, and first waved above the old state Loyse of Alabama. There were three horizontal bars, two rod and ono whito, with nine white stars in a circlo on a blue union in the upper left hand corner. In Soptember of the same year a battlo flag was adopted-—a red flag, with thirteen whito stars displayed in blue stripes crossing tho rod field diagonally, tho wholo having a narrow white border. In 1863 the "Stars and Bars" was supplanted by a flag with a white field, having the battle flag in tho corner for a union, and on the 4th of February, 1865, in order that this might not bo mistaken for a flag of tnice, tho outer half of the fiold beyond tho union was covered with a vertical red stripe. This was tho last flag of the Confederacy. 77'

American Coin Die.

The dio of the goddess of liberty on American coins was originally cut by Mr. Spencer, the inventor of the Spencor lathe. Tho first dio was from a portrait of Mrs. Washington. Gen. Washington was aot pleased with the head of his wife a» a medium of circulation, and at his request tho dio was changed, only a few coins having been cast from the original design. The die as it now appears was node from the former one by placing a cap on the head and altering the prominent features.

Capi Androw Robinson built at Gloucester1,' in Massachusetts, in 17IS, the first schooner. As the vessel was gliding into tho water at tho time of launching somebody shouted: "Sco how sho schoons!" and tho owner, catching tho word, exclaimed: "Aschooner let her be. This is said to bo tho story of the origin of this distinctively American kind of craft and of the name by which it is known.

SEVERAL CURIOSITIES IN THE WAY OF FAMOUS OLD CLOCKS.

A nigh Spirited Horse Tamed by Kindness and a Bit of Bope—-Intercstlm Facta Abo at a Useful aa Well a* Bemarltable Plant.

The cotton plant, from the fruit of which all cotton fabrics are made, is interesting in all its stages. It is planted in the early spring in long straight rows, and grows from two to five feet in height, according to the richness of the soil and the care given to its cultivation. Both blossom and fruits are on the plant at the same timo. The blossoms change color, being white one day and rpse colored the next

ON A COTTON PLANTATION.

The Sowers usually appear iu June and last about three days when they drop off, leaving a small boll which incloses the cotton wool, and which is called the "cotton boll." The shell, after a while, bursta open and discloses the cotton which is now ready to pick. These bolls are in size and shape much like the egg of a guinea hen. When they have popped open and the white fluffy cotton han^s from thorn half falling out, the fields present the appearance of handsful of snow scattered over bushes

At this 'stage the cotton pickers—ttsoally negro men, women and children, follow one another in long rows with bags slung around their necks, in which they put the cotton as fast as picked. When these bags are filled they are emptied into large cotton baskets like those represented in our cut

This raw cotton, as it is termed, is full of seeds, which are taken out like mojie by a revolving machine called the gin. The cotton is placed in a hopper on tho top, the seed falls to tho ground, while the cotton is blown from tho gin into the picking room and a beautiful sight it is, covering everything with its fluffy whiteness like a furious snow storm. This cotton lint is gathered up and packed in balea which are compressed by machinery into the iron bound packages one 6ees in the storehouses at the railway stations and in act of transit These bales of cotton Anally arrive at the manufactories where the cotton is spun into thread, and the thread, in turn, is woven into cloth.

World Famous Clocks.-

One of the most famous, if not the most famous, clocks in tho world is the one at S* "isburg, which stands twenty feet high. Ti.is clock succeeds a very wonderful one of much older date. Tho cock that crows and spreads its wings when the chimes announce the hour alone remains of the original one. The present clock dates from 1574, and its maker finished it after he had been struck blind. It 8h ows the signs of the Zodiac, tho motions of the heavenly bodies, as well as a scries of pictures and the events which happen at tho striking are too wonderful to relate. A similar one at Ratisbon marks the hour by the appearance of the three kings, who pay their adoration to the Virgin. At Lubock, in tho old church, there is a wonderful clock, which at 12 shows automaton figures of the electors of Germany, who inaugurate tho emperor, Christ giving the benediction as a choir of angels send forth a flourish of trumpets. Germany boasts of many other famous clocks, given by well known envoys from foreign countries.

England has several curiosities in way of clocks. Horace Walpolo had one at Strawberry Hill, given by Henry VIII to Anne Bolcyn in 1533, which was subsequently bought by Queen Victoria and is now at W indsor castlo. On the weights are the initials of Henry and hfc second wife, united by a true lovers' knot on one the royal motto, on the other the words, "The most happy."

BHhop Mcllvainn'n Advice to Girls. Don't cultivate that sort of violent friendship which leads to a sort of confidential communication which cannot be made known to your parents. Be very particular as to whom you allow to bo familiar with you, &s your near companions and friends. First know well tho person, before you allow a closer intimacy and the moment you see anything wrong in a companion, think what effect it should have on your intimacy. Learn to say "NoP decisively, to any request or proposal which your judgment tells you is not right It is a great thing in a child to learn to say "No," when It is right to do so.

This done* be patted the bonne gently on tbe side of ti* bead and commanded him to follow, and instantly be obeyed, perfectly subtoed,aadas gentle and obedient asa dog, suffering bis feet to be lifted without making nswtaoce, and acting in all respects like aa old stager.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Position In Sleep—Non-Alcoholic Stlma lant—Feeding an Invalid. Nearly all persons who ate inclined to snarw do so when lying on the back, because, according to Dr. Granville, the soft palate and uvula hang on the tongue and that organ falls beck so as to partly close tbe windpipe. He advises, therefore, to lie on the side, and in the absence of special disaases rendering it desirable to lie on tho weak side so as to leave the healthy lung free to expand, it is well to vm the right side, because when the body is thus placed the food gravitates more easily oat of the stomach into tho intestines, and the weight of the stomach does not compress the upper portion of the intestines. A glanco at any of tho visceral anatomy will show thi3 must be. Many persons are deaf in one ear and prefer to lie on a particular side but, if possible, the right side should be chosen. Again, sleeping with the arms thrown over the head is to be deprecated but this position is often assumed during sleep, because circulation is then free in the extremities, and the head and neck and muscles of tho chest are drawn up and fixed by the shoulders, and thus tho expansion of the thorax is easy. The chief objection to these positions is that they create a trndeucy to cramp and cold in the arms, and sometimes seem to cause headaches daring sleep and droams.

Household Medicines.

A list of simple medicine&that it is well to be provided with, especially if tho drug store and doctor are far away, is suggested by Babyhood: "A three ounco bottlo of castor oil or four ounces of aromatic syrup of rhubarb, two ounces of syrup of ipecac, one ounco of essence of peppermint or ginger, two ounces of spirits of camphor, ono ounce of sweet spirits of nitre, three ounccs of tincture of arnica, an ounce pf bicarbonate of soda, a flask of good brandy, a small vial of smelling salts, a box of mustard (to bo mixed with flour or meal in making mustard plasters), some adhesive plaster, a bottle of vaseline and a package of old muslin, together with such other articles as individual peculiarities may demand, will make an available medicine chest for tho mother's use. Each bottle should have a label denoting the contents, doee, and for what purpose to be used.

The Proper Way to Brash Teeth. Contrary to the accepted practice, are the following directions of a dontist: To brush effectually, place the upper and lower rows of teeth parallel to each other, the points of the fronts touching then use your brush up and down the teeth between the gums, being not unmindful nor fearful to brush as well the gums as the teeth—thereby toughening the one and cleansing the other. Your back teeth need more brushing than your front ones. Wisdom in this respect will be displayed should you show a partial care for the back and outsides of the rearmost teeth, above and below. After each and every meal use a quill toothpick, waxed silk floss, and rinse the mouth with moderately cold water. The intention is simply to remove food from among the teeth. Decomposed, acidified food, animal or vegetable, is the worst enemy your teeth have to encounter.

When to Feed the Slek.

Except when in a stupor from exhaustion, as sometimes occurs in typhoid fever, an invalid should not be wakened to be fed, according to Good Housekeeping. During a long sleep food should be prepared in readiness to be given fit once on waking. A convalescent should take some light nourishment, as a glass of warm milk the last thing at night Persons who are very ill should be fed in tho early morning, from 8 o'clock until 5. Tho powers of life are then at their lowest ebb and ought to be re-ettforced. If necessary, an extra covering must bo added to the bed and a hot water bottle put to the feet

The American Nervoas System* Dr. E. P. Thwing has stated that Americans are more susceptible to tho influence of alcohol than Englishmen, and that they are more affected by tobacco than the Hollanders, Turks or Chinese. This he supposes to be due to an increased sensitiveness of the nervous system, induced Jy the high pressure life of this country.

Protect the Baby's Eyes.

Let tbe transitions—in early age at least— from darkness to light, from objects near at band to those at a distance, or vice versa, be gradual, and screen the tender orbs, whenever it is possible, from the direct rays of any brightly illumiued body.

"The washtub is an excellent gymnasium,n suggests a practical genius. "Were it only a craze, every girl in the land would be taking lessons on the washboard."

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

An Uncomfortable Hospitality—Hints to Gentlemen Callers.

A lady tolls in New Orleans Picayune that she was once invited to spend a week in a family where the extra expense thus caused was frequently alluded to, much to her discomfiture. "Havo the milkman leave an extra pint because we have company," or "order more berries today than usual and tell the grocer wo want six pounds of battel* this week instead of five,1" were among the orders given by the mistress with extreme frankness in the presence of bo- guest. At evening time it was the custom of husband and wife to make up accounts, and the excellent babit was not waived, as it might have been, till the couplo were alone, but every item was talked over if surprise was expressed at any one charge, tbe wife would kindly explain that one must expect company to add FPimfthtng to the expense. "You are so much at home with ta that we don't mind you," was frequently said as a sort of apology for tbe uncomfortably candid conversation? took place in her presence. Bat t". "company" did not thoroughly enjoy her visit, and gave herself strict orders never to her own future guests feel that they caused trouble or expense in her booae.

Titles.

It is not in tbe best taste, affirms a ripcent authority on sacb matters, for a woman to appropriate the official or professional title of her husband. Mrs. Rev. Dr. Morton is an impossible being, unless tbe lady herself is a clergywoman and bas received tbe title of LI*. D. In Washington it is osaal to speak of Mrs. President Blank. Mrs. Secretary Killer or Mrs. Speaker. Erm in such casss it is much better form to say Mm Blank, wife of the President, eta

A Peculiar Antipathy.

As I was ascending the bridge steps to take a train for New York the other afternoon, I noticed just ahead of me a woman leading a little boy by the hand. The boy, who appealed to be about 4 years old, was laying to bold back and crying bitterly. "I dont want to go on the bridge," he yelled, while he tugged away to get back to the street It was with great difficulty that tbe woman got him on the train. When she sat down he climbed into hex lap and, throwing his arms around her neck, moaned and crie-.l most piteously. "I don't wont to goon the bridge," he kept repeating all the way over.

I asked the mother why the boy wes afraid to go on the bridge, and she replied that there was ouly one way to account for it "The boy," she said, ."was born a few months after the great aeciden' on the bridge just after the opening in 188S. My husband was killed in the crush that day. I was with him, but by some miracle I escaped. Very early in life my son evinced great fear of the bridge and always cried when crossing it I generally use tho ferry, as I hate to make a scene, but I am in a hurry today and so came over this way. I hope he will recover from this fear as he grows older, but I am beginning to think otherwise. He has no idea how his father died, and no one has ever spoken of the bridge accident in his hearing."— "Rambler" in Brooklyn Eagle.,

A Pint of Old Buttons*^uimi

"It's wonderful what a man can bny oa the street nowadays," said a bachelor recently. "You can got everything from a chromo to a cooked meal, but the most anique bargain that I saw offered, and one which appealed to my finest feelings, was a whole pint of odd and old buttons for five cents. I made aa investment right there and then, and I wasn't tho only one either. A lesson can be found in the incident also, and it is that a man can pull through a tight place at times if he only exercises a little original thought The fakir's stock in trade probably didn't cost him more than a few pennies, and be was doing a big busiitess while it lasted."—Philadelphia Call.

Wear. Tour Slippers.

No one should run around sleeping rooms or into balls from bed in bare feet.. Air currente are constantly in motion near the floor, and circulation is more easily retarded in feet and legs than near the heart It is, therefore, a good plan to have a warm pair of slippers always close to the bed, that may be slipped ou quickly before one's feet touch the floor, mode loose enough to be kicked off when climbing into bed again. For one who is liable to lie called up frequently, as in cases of illness, the slipper hint will prove valuable if followed.—Fvnily Physician in American Magazine. Our American belles—Our American bellesHow sweet is the story their beauty tells— They are wise belles, too, for it Is their wont To use every day their SOZODONT Which sweetens breath and keeps teeth well. No wonder we're proud of our American belles.
