Oat of the garden and out of tbo•, lade?
When the fresh ,pink bloom of the sweet -

That leans from tit* dell like 00 cheek pi a`

How will it,be when the autumn •flowers.
Wither away from their leafless bowers;
When the •sunflower and. starflower and
goldenrod -
Glimmer no more from the frosted sod, ,.,.
And the hillside nooks, are empty and cold?
7i'hen the forest tops will be gay with gold.
How will it be whew the wools turn brown.
Their gold and their crimson all dropped
down, •
And crumbled to dusty

Our ear to Earth's lips, we shall hear her

"In the dark I am seeking new gems for my

We will ream of green leaves when the

without feeling frightened. I know I

is a moinent that tiles the bravest man,

Bullets drive into the ground, at your feet,
sending up 'little clouds of dust; they
whistle past your ears and may.bo cut

shrapnel kill your comrades and leave you

that some good fortune has preserved yp4t.

Professor Be11., it plight bo thought,
fitter having givea to the world die te.e-
phone, would, O .GQnteut with his scion-
tifleconqueets, 'brit ue is et111 actively at
+poxk upon prgblems of .sound and eec•
trinity in a way that promises an invontibu,
of fargreater importance,scientiiically and
practically, than the telephone itself, His
laboratory is an old-fashioned two-story
douse on Connecticut avenue, in the
neigghborhood or the British legation,
Judge Stanley Matthews, and the recd.
deem. of i1rs. John Pavia. He also has a
private and secret laboratory over in -
Georgetown where at present he has a
most skilifltl workman engaged upon the
forthcoming instrument, What it is, is
,known only to the professor and the man
who is working at the idea. The great
inventor has said to his friends that if he
succeeds the new idea will yield him
greater' returns than the telephone has,
It is suspected, --however, by -those-who•
have given some attention to the
course of Professor Bell's .thought
'upon the subject. that it is the photo-
-phone, or the use of electricity to repro- '
duce over the wires the imago of the
person speaking before the instruulent.
Professor Bell is a matt of prodigious
meutel energy; he is constantly devel-
new ideas and new applications of
cal force for theproduction of use-
achines. • He throws them off as
'easily and carelessly es you can fancy.
Per instance, he`iuede not long ago au
.. instrument .called.the.audiometer;..pedlags.
ilot•a dozen of them have been made. It '
consists of magnetic cylinders - raduated
to each other. These cylinders will
indicate by measurement how much sound,
it is possible for adeaf person to hear,and
if they can hoar any .at all. Professor
Bell has also 'devised • an instrument, which
might be called the submarine telephone,
by which canbe ascertained by thq"echo
from a stone dropped upon the bottom of
the bay.or river 'in which .the craft may
be floating just whatthe depthis at that
point 1
Las also utilized

to record 6 ed t
d the echo at sea which my how
the distance of icebergs and other.obstruc-
tions: Even a buoy can bo distinguished
by its use. Professor Bell is gradually
growing out otall business pursuits and
devoting himself to the iinprovemont of the
deaf. He is constantly giving more=andd•-
more time to his little school, where be has
perhaps,a score of pupils, ..most all of
them wholly deaf; to whom he is teach•
1 ig the art• of sight language. Ile is
training'these little children so•that they.
can distinguishfrom the lips• and face• of
.the person speaking what they say, and
teaching them to. imitate the proper:ar=.
rangement of the lips teeth, and tongue,.
so that they may articulate sounds. Itis
understood also that Professor Bell is at
work upon the problei of resolving* heat-
at.once into' electricity. A result 'if it
ca-ft`,be obtained, that will greatly simplify
•and cheapen•all uses of electricity.
