George W. • Stone: "I don't believe any man over went into battle without feeling frightened. I know I never did. I'll tell you when a man feels eal'badty; It'r when ho forming his nen into line for a big, battle while a• little'' skirmishin•••f re is kept up all : the time, - Every .minute, or so Witte one, may be you best will shriek out, 'Oh my ding right 711— -1 fall back dead, yet ou can ot let year men fire,for the army must Jut drawn up first. There is plenty of titE15 to think. • You don't dare to retaliate in any way. The next bullet may find your,heart, and your children will bo left fatherless, It is a moinent that tiles the bravest man, because he has to stand quietly and take it all. "But when the ordercomes'toilght and the excitement of the battle arises, fear g t O thin passes away. You have something ,do, ou have aduty to perform at°'any' cost. Bullets drive into the ground, at your feet, sending up 'little clouds of dust; they whistle past your ears and may.bo cut holes in your. •clothing; Sheds and shrapnel kill your comrades and leave you living. and soon there conics a feeling that some good fortune has preserved yp4t. and will protect you, and the desire to do as much dareaso to the enemy. alone •fills your mind, That was ray experience in the army, and • I dpu't believe' that • the man lived who did not : feel at the com- mencement 'of oin-mencement•of a fight that he' 'would rather be somewhereels'e." t 'ri { a eted4at'•T•ee Meeh- x, a piThiele is(1 t tit,= lineae . @. ?lie p"ublic_parbf a, hioaahlialoteL.... • on a reasonable cool oveni,4g'1s aixshow . place tell •ortb.

The Inventor of the Tcl,•;,hone In Ills Laborgtory--Silent Ile conee004. Miter 0:eui.' 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 he.,telephone 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. • •' V1vlsectlon.
