THE MIRACLE OF THE AGE. Edison's Famous Phonograph Practically Complete. New Yoek, November 22.?I ran out to Orange yesterday to test myself the new Edison phonograph of which I sent you a preliminary account some weeks -ago. The claims made upon behalf of this instrument are so extraordinary that it is difficult to make people believe that they are put forward serious. Tbe notion that a rather simple piece of ma? chinery will store up talk, music or any other sound and give it back whenever wanted in a clear and intelligible man? ner, is more amazing to most people than the early claims made upon behalf of the telephone. I remember quite well that when;Bell's first announcement were made in 1875, people scooted the idea that conversation could be carried on by the means of a wire between points hun? dreds of miles away. . I had occasion to tell the story what Bell was doing to a great many persons, and I do not think that one ont of ten considered it other than reckless dreaming which would come to nothing. To-day, how common? place an affair is the telephone! And if we do not find it easy to talk to persons ten, fifty or a hundred miles away, half a dozen times a day, we are out of all patience with the wonder. After spend? ing two hours testing the phonograph in a variety of ways, I sincerely believe that within a* few years the phonograph will be quite as much a matter of course as the telephone is now. edison's sanctum sanctorum. In my previous letter I said that the phonograph, according to what Edison told me, would take the place of letter writing for ordinary business purposes, when there was occasion to say more than a few words. Also, that the pho? nograph voice was a clear and distinct one, about twice as lond as the voice of a good telephone. I was not telling half the truth concerning the coming wonder. Out at Orange, within sight of Edison's superb country home, in one of the lab ratory buildings upon which he is spending a quarter of a million dollars, I Jfonnd^ibe~??st phonograph which has not heen seen by any but EafiWU^fiself and half a dozen of his most trusted assistants. In reaching the inner room, where Edison conducts his most careful experiments, one has to pass through several workshops and through the busi? ness offices of the labratory. These latter are almost like those of a bank bookkeepers, safes and all the fixtures of a business office. Probably the expenses of the labratory alone do not fall short of $1,200 or $1,500 a week. In this inner. labratory the phonograph, from which the patterns for the wholesale manufacture of the instrument are taken, stands on a plain pine table, beneath which are the four cells that run the lit? tle motor attached,^to the instrument. Yesterday it was not in perfect adjust? ment, owing to the frequent dismounting necessary in making accurate measure? ments of the different parts The who'e instrument was shown to me upon con? dition that I should not describe the curious features of the reproducing part, upon which tbe patents have not been yet issued, although applied for a long time ago. In appearance the new pho? nograph is a trifle like a type-writer and occupies about the same space. Wires from the battery can be run up through the table or at tbe side of the table, while the battery itself can be stowed away in any convenient corner. There is nothing electrical about the phono? graph ; the sole purpose of the electric motor is to give a perfectly even motion to the metal cylinder upon which is placed tbe tin foil or the wax sheet used' in getting an impression of the vibra? tions made by the sensitive diaphragm. In the first phonographs of ten years ago this cylinder was turned by band ; later it was turned by clock work. The pres? ent motor starts at a touch of a little switch and will keep on all day if neces? sary, running at a perfectly even, speed and without the slightest noise. Edison estimates that four cells of a battery will run the motor four or five hours a day for a month. At the end of that time the .cca^ ofjrenewing the battery will be -less than a dollar. what it looks like and how it wobks. The moving part of the motor is placed nnder cover, so tbat the chief parts of the machine in view are the slowly revolving cylinder and the mouth? pieces used for making an impression upon the phonogram, as the wax or tin sheets is called. For the present Edison uses a thin wax cylinder, which is placed over the permanent metal cylinder of the phonograph. The preparation to talk is but a matter of two seconds: The wax cylinder is slipped over the metal one, a touch of the switch starts the motor, the mouth-piece is adjusted to the cylinder and all is ready. As a test of tbe dis? tinctness with which the phonograph talks, Edison asked me to leave the room while he read ont something from a book. When I came back he offered me a little ear phone connected with the phono? graph, and I listened while he started the apparatus. Nothing bnt an extra? ordinary jumble of sound reached me. Edison is quite deaf and failed to adjust the instrument properly. An assistant fixed it in an instant and I lis? tened with much amazement to Edison's voice reading out a long list of geograph? ical names. Owing to the noise made by the workmen, in tbe room I conld not catch every word, but I heard enough during the intervals of perfect quiet to show me that in a quiet place I could get every syllable. Standing four feet away from the phone the voice of tbe phono? graph was perfectly audible, although it is hard to distinguish words. No tele? phone tbat I have ever tried has thrown out sound with so much volume as this. The character of tbe voice is more true to the original than tbe telephone is, and I could tell at once whether Edison or one of his assistants had read out some? thing for the phonograph to repeat. So far as the actual talking of the machine goes, there can be no doubt whatever as to the success of tbe invention. Inasmuch as it can be made to repeat as many times as needed if any one does not understand the first time, it is only neces? sary to go back. One of the editors of a scientific paper, to whom a whole page of "Nicholas Nickleby" was read a few days ago, made out eighty per cent, of the words at the first reading, and every word at the second reading. Tbe pho? nograms are to be sold in several sizes, one for commercial letters will measure one and a half inch in diameter by one inch in length, about the size of a napkin ring; this will contain two him dred words. The next size will be of the same diameter, but fonr inches long, and will contain from eight '.hundred to one thousand words. The small commercial size will cost fifteen cents a dozen, and the larger size thirty-six cents a dozen. If the message written upon one of these cylinders is not worth preserving, it can be taken off by a sharp knife, which cuts a fine shading from the surface of the phonogram. Edison estimates that the same cylinder can be used twelve times. ENDLESS REPETITION. One of the most curious sensations of my experience with the phonograph was the feeling that I was dealing with another person who might be at the other end of the line. Thus, when I wished the phonograph to repeat, I had only to touch a spring, when it went back ten, fifty or one hundred words at will; but I never did so withont being tempted to say: "Excuse me, but will you please say that over again." It is very much the same feeling that one has at the tele? phone when it is impossible to make out what is said and apologies must be made to the person at the other end of the line, who may be getting very angry at the delay. So far as repetition is concerned, there seem to be no limit to the number of times which the phonograph will repeat the same sentence. Edison has had a page of "Nicholas Nickleby" read ont and has had the phonograph repeat it fifty-four times. The last reading was as distinct and satisfactory as the first. The programme is still to offer the first five hundred phonographs to the public some time next January. Already, orders are coming in to the Orange lab ratory at the rate of twenty a day, from all parts of the world. The manufactory devoted to the phonograph is being fitted up to turn oat twenty-five a day, and this out-put can he doubled should the demand warrant it. PHONOGRAPHIC BOOKS. For books and long pieces of music, a cylinder four inches io diameter andjten inches long will be used. According to the calculations of Edison's assistants, the whole of "Nicholas Nickleby" can be put upon eight such cylinders, and the work of duplicating the cylinders is so simple that Edison is certain he can sell phono? graphic copies of books cheaper than ordinary books. By means of sounding boards, upon which he is now working, he is confident that he .can so magnify the voice of the phonograph that when the instrument i? placed in the centre of the table all the persons around the table can listen with pleasure to the reading or jhe.mqga,. _ PROGRESSIVE RAILROADING. The Atlantic Coast Line's Vcsllbuled Trains to Florida. The general excellence of the Atlantic Coast Line railway system is recognized everywhere and thoroughly appreciate! by the traveling public. It is one of the very best equipped and best managed railroads in the country, and this fact is a source of infinite gratification to all of us along its line who have watched its progressive and liberal management, and its gradual but sure onward march to its present prosperity, and eminent position in railroad circles. The Coast Line never tires in its efforts to improve and to expedite travel, while never losing 'sight of the convenience and comforts of its patrons. We learn that to meet the demands of the increas? ing tourist and pleasure seeking travel to Florida, and to keep pace with the luxu? rious hotels provided for their comfort, arrangements have been perfected for the 'running of Pullman vestibule trains between New York and Florida, begin? ning about January 1st, 1888. These trains are so connected by means of vestibules that they constitute one continuous car, rendered flexible at the points of connection by means of folded rnbber diaphragms. Through this ingenious device the entire train is made to form a series of apartments, so that the traveler may pass from one end of it to the other, precisely as he passes from one room to another in bis own house. These vestibules are formed by enclosing the platform?they are as elegantly finished as any part of the car ?carpeted so as to entirely conceal the points of connection between the joined cars, and illuminated by means of electric lights depending from the ceilings, whose rays fall through cut glass paneled doora full upon the steps. Many of the advantages of the vesti bule train are obvious. It relieves the traveler, in passing from one part of the train to another, from tbe annoyance of the whirlwind on the platform, caused by the rapid motion of the train, as also from the cold of the open air in winter, from the dust in summer, and from the storms at all seasons. It forms an easy connection with the dining room, the smoking-room, the library. Trains of these cars, composed exclu-* sively of drawing-rooms, containing library, reading, smoking rooms and buffet dining cars, in which meals will be served en route, and sleeping-cars fitted with all the comforts, conveniences and luxuries, are now being built by the Pullman Palace Car Company for this service, which will undoubtedly form tbe finest railway trains in the world. Exteriorly they will present the appear? ance of a block of artistically-finished houses, while interiorly they will rival both 'in beauty and decoration and in varied living conveniences, an elaborately finished and richly appointed city man? sion. The schedule for these trains will be so arranged as to leave New York after breakfast, say about 9.30, would pass here about 12 o'clock at midnight, and reach Florida the following day in time for dinner, being but one night on the road.? Wilmington, A\ C, Messenger. Herr Most is Missing, Herr Most, the New York Anarchist, who is always thirsting for somebody's blood and who was recently released from tbe Penitentiary after serving a term of six months, made a speech in New York on Sunday, in which he bowled himself hoarse. Among other things he said: "Hereafter our calls for meetings will be given in Beeret. The hirelings of the capitalistic press and the dogs of the police shall no longer attend our meet? ings. God help them if they are found in our secret councils! Hitherto we expressed our meaning openly and gave our enemies a chance. "They shall hereafter hear and see nothing until the day of reckoning comes. That day is not far distant. It is drawing nearer and nearer. What care we for their soldiers and their police. Our weapon is a hundred fold worse than theirs. "Let Grinnell beware. He is the principal culprit who is guilty of mur? dering our brothers. Grinnell comes first. After him comes Gary. Then the Supreme Court Judges. After them come the highest murderers in the land, the United States Supreme Court Judges. Last, but not least, is the most cowardly murderer of them all, the Governor of Illinois. "I would give ten years of my life to know tbe executioner. I would never rest until I strangled him as he strangled our brothers. I am willing to die for the cause if it be necessary. It is an honor to die if it benefits tbe working classes.' As soon as Most's incendiary utteran? ces were published, District Attorney Martine held a conference with his assis? tants, and enough law was found to make Most a fit subject for the grand jury to investigate. But Most was too fast for them, and fled with much the same cour? age that distinguished his conduct when he was dragged out from under tho bed of his sweetheart about nine months ago. The New York Times says: "While the Anarchists in this city arc lying low as far as regards public demonstrations and open threats of revenge, they ?are doing little legitimate work and spending a good deal of money and time in guz? zling beer and wine in numerous saloons that abound in the Fourteenth police precinct." BATHTUBS ON WHEELS. A Paris Luxury Suggested for Introduc? tion Into New York. "Talking about new enterprises spring ing up here," said a gentleman to a re* porter, "why there are thousands oi schemes yet untried that you will ho hear? ing of some time. Now there is the Pa* risian bath, for instance. Do yon know how the Parisians pursue the practice said to be next to godliness?" Having received the reporter's admis? sion of innocence as to the subject, the gentleman continued: "Well, to begin with, exceedingly few .houses in Paris, except the big hotels, have bathrooms. You might conclude from this statement that the Parisians are not particularly fond of bathing. But they are, and now I will tell you how they do it. We will suppose you are a Parisian living com? fortably in a suite. Moreover we will suppose you take a morning bath every day in the year. Now all that is necessary for you to do is to leave your order at a bathing establishment and a man will come at the specified hour with a shining, roomy tub and deposit it near your bed. Then he will bring in a copper cylinder-shaped oven contain? ing what they call a peignoir, which is thus kept warm until you put it on after stepping out of the tub. The man covers the bottom and sides of the tub with a sheet, and then rills the tub with water of the proper temperature, which he brings with him in his cart, a peculiar looking vehicle, by the way, resembling about as much as anything a gayly painted oblong boiler on wheels. Having thus prepared the bath, he adds one finish? ing stroke to it by dropping into the steaming water a considerable quantity of bathing powder, which serves as a skin tonic, and at the same time emits a lovely perfume, suggesting resinous odors of the woods. The man now withdraws for an hour and leaves you to enjoy your de? licious ablutions. "You emerge from the bath in half an hour feeling like on entirely new man. It seems as though the exhilarating per? fume of the water has entered your very soul. You step lightly out of the tub and slip on the warm peignoir as though it were a linen duster, which it slightly re? sembles, and by means of which you do not get to shivering while you are drying yourself. "That is the way the Parisians bathe. This kind of bath costs three francs (CO cents) in Paris. In New York it should not cost more than half that sum. I think it a very good system to introduce in this city, and I have had some idea myself of starting an establishment'of the kind. It possesses superior advan? tages for the people who do not live in houses where there are bathrooms. And the medicinal benefits of this powder stirred in the water are a great thing in addition to the fragrant quality it im? parts. And then another advantage is that the tub is brought to you and every? thing is prepared. You can step out of bed in the morning into your tub and have a splendid scrub before dressing. For the reasons I have mentioned I am sanguine that the Parisian stylo of bathing would prove very popular in New York."?New York Evening World. The Science of Hypnotism. The scienco of hypnotism, not long ago sneered at and ignored by medical men, has secured at last an astonishing recog? nition from them. The medical thinkers of France are now considering it as one of their most reliable means of producing results that are out of the reach of their ordinary remedies. They lately made in Paris a number of very successful experi? ments upon children from the house of refuge, some of whom were supposed to be irreclaimably bad. They were hypnot? ized, and while in this condition they were enjoined to obey their teachers, to study, to keep themselves clean and to stop swearing and lying, habits which the ref nge wardens had asserted could not be abandoned by their depraved charges. The influence of the hypnotism lasted for months, and the boys that had been influenced were changed during th;.t time from troublesome prisoners to pupils of most exemplary conduct. One of the boys who was hypnotized had been a leader among his companions in all sorts of un? ruly and immoral behavior. The change in him was so radical after the hypnotism that it frightened both himself and his companions, and having reasoned about his conversion he absolutely refused to submit to the mesmeric passes again when the physicians wanted to repeat the experi? ment.?Physician in Globe-Democrat. A Mandarin's Gratitude. A missionary of the American board stationed at the China inland mission, writes to tho home office in Boston of an odd incident. A Chinese mandarin re? cently gave an entertainment and pre? sented a valuable testimonial to the Chris? tian hospital, out of gratitude for medical services rendered to his aged father. The son was absent on duty, and the father was cured of a sickness which was'sup? posed to be fatal While the old gentle? man was at the worst the wife of the absent son, actibg in place of her husband, performed an act supposed to propitiate heaven and to secure the restoration of her father-in-law. With her own hand she cut a piece of flesh from her arm, had it cooked and ad? ministered it to tho patient. On the son's return his gratitude to the missionaries was boundless. He had prepared a memorial tablet, eight feet by four, which was suitably inscribed. This was hung from a bamboo pole, and carried by two men, preceded by a band of musicians. As they approached the house big bunches of firecrackers were fired, and the tablet was presented with much ceremony.? Chicago Times. The Color of the Eyes.

Farwell, of Illinois, and his partners, his brother and Abner Tavlor, of Chicago, will make from ?15,? OOO'.OOO to ?20,000,000 in their Texas land speculation. It is said that the state of Texas has given to the Farwell company 8,000,000 acres of land in Texas. The land today is worth $5 an acre, and tho state buildings did not cost more than $1,000,000. Tho land is all fenced in. Seventy-five thousand cattle are now on it, and more are to follow. It comprises enough territory for a principality. Tho Farwell company have their headquarters in London. English capitalists own about one-quarter of the stock. This great and successful venture was brought to the Farwells by an impecuni? ous and visionary man, who obtained tho contracts which lie sold to tho Farwell company. The story goes that the man happened to be in Austin, and hearing that the state was ottering land to any one who would put up state buildings he calmly walked up and took the contract, when he had barely enough money in his pocket to pay Iiis fare to Chicago. Tho same men who save away such a biock of land rather than raise the money neces? sary by taxation of course never dreamed of questioning the contractor's financial ability. He had some trouble in convinc? ing the Farwells of the value of the land, owing to their distrust of the visionary contractor's judgment, but investigation showed the value, and the contract was purchased for a few thousand dollars, and u property was obtained which will net its owners many millions.?Baltimore American.

A SENSIBLE MAN NEVER FOOLS WITH FIREARMS "NOT LOADED." Story of tho Boy with An Empty Shot* gnu?A Lesson for Life?Another Illti*. trat ion of Criminal Carelessness?Tho Only Safe Way. ? Never handle firearms carelessly. I nsed to do it, but of late years it makes me boil to have anybody point a gun or pistol toward me. Two events in my life have done more to inspire within me a wholesome respect for firearms.than any? thing else that ever happened to me. When I was about 15 years old I bor? rowed a shotgun of a chum. "Is it loaded?" was tho first question I asked. "No," was the reply, and I, like a goose, believed what he said. On the way home with it I met another boy, who began dodging behind the shade trees as I approached, Indian fashion. I, of course, must do my part of the tragedy, so cocking the gun, I began to skulk too, until, when we finally met, to show that he was plainly in my power, I put the muzzle of the gun np close to his nose and pulled the trigger. I thought no more of the circumstance until evening, when I began cleaning tho gun, and found that it was clogged up so I could not blow through it. Procuring a |- cap, I placed it on the nipple, and, going to the front door, pulled the trigger, and away she went, with a report that nwoko the neighbors for blocks around and filled tho leaves of a cherry tree near by as full of holes as a skimmer. Then I thought of Tom, into whose face I had snapped the gun. The fact that tho cap had become damp alone prevented tho gun from being discharged and blowing Tom's head into smithereens. Though his after life was a fizzle, and he filled a drunkard's grave at an early age, yet how my life would have been blighted if, through my boyish careless? ness, he had been killed. I vowed a vow at that time never to be careless with llrc AXOTIIEP. INCIDENT. One more circumstance occurred after I had grown to manhood. I was standing on a pile of lumber, bnsily engaged in measuring lumber, when, hearing a 'click" behind me, I turned, and there stood a boatman pointing an army musket squarely at my head and sighting along the barrel. Tho muzzle of tho gun was only six feet from my head, and he had just snapped it at me. He was a man, 50 years old, and, under the first angry im? pulse that came over me, said: "You old fool, you ought to know bet? ter than to snap a gun at a fellow's head in that careless way." 'Aw, pshaw!" said he, "it isn't loaded." "How do you know that?" "Because it has been lying around my boat for more than six months, and I know it isn't." "That's just the reason you don't know anything about it," said I. "Wall, now, you're making such a fuss about it, I'm going to get a cap and show you. Here, hold the gun till I come back." While he was gone I ran the ramrod down the barrel and found that it was loaded. When he returned with a cap I removed the old one and replaced it with a new one. Pointing the gun upward I pulled the trigger and a report followed, the re? coil from which nearly knocked me off the lumber pile and raised the boatman's hair on end. "What do you think now?" I asked. "Well," said he, "that's the lost time I shall point n gun at anybody if I live 100 years." A damp cap alone saved me that time, and though I should not have been to blame, yet this event would have blighted my Me still more effectually than the first .one, for it would undoubtedly have blown my head off my shoulders, and a man who finds himself in that condition can but acknowledge that his life is, in a measure, blighted, and his future plans and pros? pects somewhat interfered with. Don't fool with firearms. If a gun is loaded, and everybody knows it is loaded, there is little danger. It is the gun and the revolver which is not loaded that goes off and kills folks or maims them for life. So the only safe way is to handle them at all times as though they were loaded. Get into the habit of so doing; then it will become natural and easy to you, and you may be spared the agony of gazing upon the mangled form of some friend through whom you have let daylight. Always keep behind a gun yourself, and point the muzzle away from other people. -Sunshine. Pickaninny Transportation in Georgia. One day a large family of slaves came through the fields to join us. The head of the family, a venerable negro, was mounted on a mule, and safely stowed away behind him in pockets or bags at? tached to the blauket which covered the mule were two little pickaninnies, one on each side. This gave rise to a most im? portant invention?i. e., "the best way of transporting pickaninnies." On the next day a mule appeared in column covered by a blanket with two pockets on each side, each containing a little negro. Very soon old tent flies or strong canvass was nsed instead of the blanket, and often ten or fifteen pockets were attached to each side, so that nothing of the mule was vis? ible except the head, tail and feet, all else being covered by the black woolly heads and bright shining eyes of .the little dar? kies. Occasionally a cow was made to take the place of the mules; this was a decided improvement, as the cow fur? nished rations as well as transportation for the babies.?James Lane Allen in The Century.

"I'll show you," said he, and turning, he called to a friend: "Ned, toss mo a cigar." Then he took out a fine cambric linen handkerchief, and blew a whiff of smoke through the cobweb texture. "Oh, look how black it is," said the young ludy for whose sake the experiment was being made. "Now look," said the club man. He lighted the cigar and puffed till he got a good volume of smoke, which he poured through the meshes of the handkerchief again. A scarcely perceptible stain was left on its whiteness. "Well, that proves it," said the fair in? vestigator. "My! just think of that hor? rid black stuff all settling in your lungs!" "Wait one moment," said the experi? menter, and ho repeated the experiment, with the opposite result. "Well, how is that?" was the aston? ished question.

The Epoch. HOW DO WE DIG OUR GRAVES? We must ent or wo cannot live. This we all know. But do wo all know that wo dio by eating ? It is said we dig our graves with our teeth. How foolish this sounds. Yet it is fearfully true. We arc ter? rified nt the approach of the cholera and yellow fever, yet there is a dis? ease constantly at onr doors and in onr houses far more dangerous and destructive. Host people havo in their own stomachs a poison, more slow, but quite as fatal ns the germs of those maladies which sweep men into eternity by thousands without warning in the times of great epi? demics. But it is a mercy that, if we are watchful, wo can tell when we arc threatened. The following are among the synrptoms, yet they do Dot always necessarily appeal* in tho same order, nor nro they always the Bame in different cases. There is a dull and sleepy feeling; a bad taste in the mouth, especially in the morning; the appetite is change? able, sometimes poor and again it seems ns though tho patient could not eat enough, and occasionally no appetite at all; dullness and slug? gishness of tho mind; no ambition to study or work; more or less head? ache and heaviness in the head; dizziness on rising to tho feet or moving suddenly; furred and coat? ed tongue; a sense of a load on the Btoinach that nothing removes; hot and dry skin at times; yellow tinge in tho eyes; scanty and high-colored urine; sour taste in the mouth, fre? quently attended by palpitation of tho heart; impaired vision, with spots that seem to bo swimming in the air before tho eyes; a cough, with a greenish-colored expecto? ration; poor nights'rest; a sticky slime about the teeth and gums; hands and feet cold and clammy; irritable temper and bowels bound up and costivo. This disease has puzzled tho physicians avid still puz? zles them. It is the commonest of ailments and yet tho most compli? cated and mysterious. Sometimes it is treated as consumption, some? times as liver complaint, and then again as malaria and even heart dis? ease. But its real naturo is that of constipation and dyspepsia. It arises in tho digestive organs and soon affects all the others through the coiTupted and poisoned blood. Often the whole body?including the nervous system?is literally starved, even when there is no emaciation to tell the sad story. ?Experiencehas shown that thereis put one remedy that can certainly cure this disease in all its stages, namely, Shaker Extract of Boots or Mother Seigol's Curative Syrup.
