The telephone is expected to work between
Paris and Marseilles onthe lab of July.
Tho wire will be of bronze, and will bo un-,
derground as far as Nogent-aur-Marne,
whore it will join the railway telegraph
line. The distance is 500 miles.
A non -speaking telephone is exhibitod at
Pittsburg. A sensitive plate promos against'
the larynx and glands of the neck, and, as
the jaws are moved in conversation, the
motion sends the words along the wire as
distinctly as the telephone now in use.
Harry Flaxman a very skillful and rapid
potter of Providence, recently attempted to
make an entire tea setof forty-four pieces
in seven and ahalf minutes. Many specta-
tors watched him. First he turned ont
twelve cups and saucers; then a dczen
plates ; then four large plates; and then a
teapot, sugar bowl, cream jug, and water
bowl. The last piece left his hands in just
eight minutes from the start. The set was
of excellent shape and each piece was near-
ly perfect.
1 was in a Cambridge (Mass.) horse car
last winter when there entered a lady of
perhaps 80, handsomely dressed, and carry-
ing a well -coddled purr. Both sides of the
car were filled and not a man made a move.
Presently the lady said in a haughty tone :
"Is there no gentleman on thts line who
will eive the wife of the mayor of Cambridge
a seat?" There were some smiles, but on
proffered seats. "Stop this car 1" cried the
woman in tragic tones. The condnotor
obeyed and the wife of the mayor stalked
out.

Aerial Navigation.
PITTSBURG, Feb. 25.—Dr. Arthur de Baus-
set, of Chicago, president of the Transcon-
tinental Aerial Navigation Company, is in
the city placing a contract for ,steel to be
used in the mammoth air ships which he
proposes to build. Bach of these ships will
be 654 feet long and 144 feet in diameter.
They will be coneshaped and made of steel.
The vessels will cost $150,000, and it is the
intention of the inventor to build several of
them. De Bausset says aerial navigation is
no longer an experiment but a fact, and that
duringthe present year he will start on a
voyage to the North pole. Se oan develop
a speed of 120 miles per hour:
•A novel feature was introduced ab Presi.

" figure," though it is rather a species of
game—a contest of agility, in fact, between
the male dancers, who alone take .part in
ib, the prize being a waltz with the lady
who gives the signal for it. This she does
by launching a toy balloon in the air, and
the salutatory competitionwhich itiprovokes
among the young men in their frantic efforts
to reach the miniature aerostat and secure
the prize is said to be extremely diverting.

A patent has been granted to a resident of
Madmen, Indiana, for the manufacture of
maple sugar by mixing anextraotof hickory
with ordinary sirup, auoh as cane.sitgar or
sorghum sirup. Tho inventor says that lie
has discovered that the hickory tree will
yield the precise firmer of maple auger; and
therefore he has sought the indorsement of
the Government for perpetrating a fraud on
the public. The avowed object of the pa-
tent is to impose on the people a bogus ar-
ticle for a genuine one, not for the benefit of
the public, but for that of the inventor and
middleman, whether manufacturers or deal-
ers.
Last year Charles Fortle, a farmer living
near Westminster, Md., bought 25 bushels
of wheat from a apeoulative iompany at $10
n bushel, giving hie note for $250,. In re-
turn they promised to sell for him, when
the orop was gathered, 50 bushels at the
same price. A bond was given to this ef-
fect; but, of course, the "company" failed
to come to time. The other day two men
representing another apeoulative concern of
the same kind, offered to take the bond .off
his hands for his note for $150. Thinking
that by doing this he was canceling the $250
note, he gladly consented. A few days ago,
however, he learned that both notes were
out against him, and this fact so preyed on
his mind that he blew his brains out.
A poor horse eata as much as a good one ;
scrub cattle as much as grades ar thorough-
breds; mongrel poultry as much as grades
or pure breeds. Then why keep inferior
stock ? If thio besound reasoning in regard
to animals, why may not the same reason-
ing be applied to trees and shrubs ? The
rare and beautiful forms of evergreen and
deciduous trees take up no more space
and Dost no more to grow than the
inferior kinds everywhere seen and no-
where prized. In the one case we have
variety which is ever pleasing to the eye,
and which . always stimulates thought and
inquiry. lathe other case we have a thrice-
told tale, which no one cares to listen to.
The Illusion_ War Party.
The Russian journals may protest too
much when they say that war is not desired
by the Ozer and his advisers. There is al-
ways away party in St. Pstersburg. There
are ambitious officers and restless dare-
devils who cannot endure the dull, plodding
routine of barrack life. They crave oppor-
tunities for distinguishing themselves in the
field and winning rapid promotion. There
are more officers in the Russian service who
love the excitement of war for its own sake
than there are in any other European army.
These mad cap soldiers always exert great
influence in St. Petersburg,, and the inner-
most circle of the Czar's advisers frequently
feel the pressure of this aggressive class.

In spite: of the prejudice against it, crema-

popular favor. In a recent review of the
progress of the reform in the Nineteenth

than elsewhere, but that it has been intro-
duced fu Germany, Denmark, Belgium,

disposing of the dead.

The telegraphic typewriter is .a combination
