A Long Journey.
“We sail tc-day," said the captain gay.
Ashe stepp e1 upon the boat that lay
So high and dry. “ Come now, he spry;
e’ll land at Jerusalem by and by 1"
Away they sailed, and each craft they hailed;
While down in the cabin they bailed and
bailed;
For the sea was rough and they had to luff
And tack, till the captain cried out “Enough!"
They stopped at Peru, this jolly crew.
And went to Paris and ’l‘imbuctoo;
And after a while they found the Nile,
And watched the sports of the crocodile.
They called on the Shah, and the mighty
Czar,
And on all the crowned heads near and far;
Shook hands with the Cid- they really did!
And lunched on the top of the pyramid!
To Africa’s strand, on northern land,
They steer as the captain gives command;
And fly so fast that the slender mast
Goes quivering, shivering in the blast!
Then on to the ground with a sudden bound
Leaps Jacthwas a mercy he wasnt drownedl.
The sail is furlcd, the anchor hurled.
" We've teen}, cried the chidren, "all round
the world I"
By billows tossed, .by tempests tossed,
Yet never a soul on board was lost!
Though the boat be a sie‘ynel, I do not grieve,
They sail on the ocean o ake-believe."

A Fruit Evaporator.
There are several forms of these 'fruit
evaporators, but this is the oldest, and is a
good type of them all. The apparatus that
has been described consists essentially of an
upright wooden shaft or tower erected in a
three-story building. At the base is some
form of hot-air furnace, with proper inlets
for fresh air. Theair passes over the fur-
nace, becomes heated, and ascends-through
the shaft and escapes at the top of the tov'ver.
When the temperature of the interior ranges
from 250 to 300° Fahrenheit, a tray of fresh
fruit is suspended on the elevating chains
just above the furnace. At this temperature
the fruit would be cooked instead of dried,
were it not for the fact that it is dripping
with moisture. It is bathed in a steaming
vapor and begins to dry, not on the outside,
but from the inside first. The air, saturated
with water, keeps the pores of the fruit open
and the surface unchanged. There is no
formation of a hard, dry, and discolored
skin, as when fruit is dried in the open air
In this high temperature, in a few minutes,
the fruit would begin to cook; but before
this can happen, the elevating chains are
moved and the tray is raised about thirteen
centimeters (five inches), and another tray
is placed below it. The first trayisnow
shaded from the direct heat and the lower
tray gives ofl clouds of vapor that rise and
bathe the fruit above in a hot and steaming
atmosphere. In a certain number of min-
utes, regulated by the heat, the. kind and
quality of the fruit, and the state of the
weather, the two trays are raised another
thirteen centimeters, and another fresh lot
of fruit is inserted below. The first Iotis
still more shaded from the heat. but remains
in an atmosphere saturated with moisture
from the new supplies below. Thus the
fruit rises a few centimeters every ten or fif-
teen minhtes, moving continually away from
the fire, and yet always bathed in vapor
from the fruit under it. In from four to six
hours it rises to the top of the shaft, and is
by this time finished. It has parted with all
its water, and has undergone an entire
change in its irature. When fresh, four-
fifths of the ripe peach consisted of Water,
It also contained a certain percentage of
acids and a certain proportion of sugar,
starch, and other chemical constituents.
After passing through the evaporator, it is"
reduced to four-fifths of its original weight,
the loss being almost wholly in water. The
fibrous skeleton of the fruit remains, but the
acids are reduced .and the sugar has in-
creased in quantity. The other portions——
starch, etc. ,--are nearly unchanged, the color
is retained, and there is still a trace of the
fragrance of the ripe fruit. The process the
fruit has passed through seems to resemble
a supplementary ripening. The familiar in-
stance of the after-ripening of winter pears
in a dark closet, where the hard and sour
pear becomes sweet, juicy, and mellow, may.
serve toillustrate the chemical change that
takes place in this process. The evaporated
peach is dry, but ripcr and sweeter than
when fresh. Every valuable quality of the
fruit is retained; the water alone has been
extracted. Soak the dry peach in enough
cold water to cover it and it assumes its nat-
ural size and flavor. It is then pratically a
ripe peach, with the water restored. It makes
no difference when the water is replaced ; it
may be now, next year, or ten years hence, in
this or any other climate; add the water to
the dry peach atauy time, and it may be
cooked and eaten in any form that fancy dic-
tates—Charm Barnard, Scribner for June.

Edison's New Inventions.
Fort -nine hondgraphs are now in use in
this codntry. pThey have been introduced in
all parts of Canada, in the 'West Indies and
three are in operation in South America. , In
England, the introduction of the phonograph
is intrusted to theLondon Stereoscopic Com-
pany. Continental Europe is given to anoth-
er company to exhibit and bring into gener-
eral use there the invention of Edison. ' -
In October Mr. Edison expects to complete
his standard machine—a phonograph intend-
ed for the counting room. He is continually
perfecting the phonograph. At it he Works
at least seven hours a day. lie is also now
experimenting with a new instrument that
he calls a telsoscopophone. It is a sort of
ear trumpet which, when applied to the ear
enables one to hear distinctly the ordinary
conversation of a man smile distant. A gen-
tleman who has tested one of these instru-
ments said : “I applied one to my ear and
could hear a man talking who was across a
field, nearly a mile away. I heard every
word he said. Afterwards ‘he seemed _to
raise his voice a little. and when I saw him
afterwards, he said that then he had shouted
at the top of his voice. There is no connect-
ing wire here as in the telephone. Every-
thing depends on the wonderful properties
of the ear trumpet, which is constructed on
a radically difierent principle from those that
have been in use so long. By this instrument
it is expected that deaf persons—except those
who can't hear a cannon fired at their elbow
——may hear anything said on the stage at the
theatre."
In this connection one question forces it-
self upomour attention, and, that is, if one
man’s voice is thus magnified, what is to pre-
vent all voices and all noises within the same
distance from being equally magnified? And
if all voices are thus magnified how can any
one voice be discriminated in the general
hub-bub? ;If this invention should work as
claimed, then there would be an end to all
secrecy, for walls would have ears with a ven
geance. Local newspapers devoted to gossip
and scandal could be dispensed with. There
would be no such thing as political, profes-
sional or trade secrets. Everybody would
have the benefit of curtain lectures; and con-
certs, lectures, &c., would be dispensed with
for people could sit in their own parlors and
hear all the performance, free gratis for noth-
ing. Then it would put an end to marriages,
for how could courting be carried on success-
fully with the old folks and all the neighbor-
hood listening to the cooing 7
W
Rssraor run Born—How much of the
carelessness, recklessness, and want of self-
respect that are manifested by boys at school
or in the family, are due to the fact that
teachers and parents do not pay proper rc-
t to them ? This is a question that is
worthy of some thought on the part of (du-
cators of youth, whether their function is
exercised in the family or in the school room:

Some Munchausen Stories.
Seribmr for June contains a paper entitled
“Lying as a fine art; and the claims of the
Rev. Samuel Peters as an Artist,” by W. L.
Kingsley, editor of “The New Englandcr.”
According to Mr. Kingsley, Peter’s “History
of Connecticut,” published in 1781, is in a
great measure the source of the famous libcls
on Connecticut in the matter of the Blue
LaWs. How worthy this author is of belief
maybe inferred from the following stories
told in'the History as sober truth :
“One night in July, 1758, the frogs of an
artificial pond three miles square and about
five from Windham, finding the water dried
up, left the place in a body, and marched—
or rather hopped—toward Winnomantic
River. They were under the necessity of
taking the road and going through the town,
which they entered about midnight. The
bull-frogs were the leaders, and the pipers
followed without number. They filled the
road forty yards wide for four miles in length,
and were several hours in passing through
the town, unusually clamorous. The inhab-
itants were equally perplexed and frightened;
some expected to find an army of French
and Indians, and others feared an earth-
quake and dissolution of nature. The con-
sternation was universal. Old and young,
male and female, fled naked from their beds
with worse shriekings than those of the
frogs. The event was fatal to several women.
The men, after a flight of half a milcgin
which they met with many broken shins,
finding no enemies in pursuit of them, made
a bait and summoned resolution enough to
venture back to their wives and children,
when they distinctly heard from the enemy’s
camp these words: ‘Wight, Ililderkin, Dyer,
Tete.’ This last they thought meant treaty;
and, plucking up courage. they sent a trium-
virate to capitulate with the supposedFreneh
and Indians. These three men approached
in their shirts, and begged to speak with the
general; but it being dark and no answer
given, they were sorely agitated for some
time betwixt hope and fear; at length, howl
ever, they discovered that the dreaded inimi-
cal army was an army of thirsty frogs, going
to the river for a little water."
These stories are thrown into the shade
by the famous account of Bellows Falls, in
the Connecticut River.
“Two hundred miles from Long Island
Sound is a narrow of five yards only, formed
by two shelving mountains of solid rock,
whose topsintercept the clouds. Through
this chasm are compelled to pass all the wa-
ters which, in the time of the floods, bury
the northern country. At the upper cohos
the river spreads twenty-four miles wide, and
for five or six weeks ships of war might sail
over lands that afterward produce the great-
est crops of hay and grain in all America.
People who can bear the sight, the groans,
the tremblings, and surly motion of water,
trees, and ice, through this awful passage,
view with astonishment one of the greatest
phenomena in nature. Here water is consol-
ldated, without frost, by pressure, by swift-
ness, between the pinching, sturdy rocks to
such a degree of induration that an iron crow
cannot-be forced into it. Here iron, lead,
and cork have one common weight; and here,
steady as time and harder than marble, the
stream passes, irresistible, if not swift as
lightning. The electric fire rends trees in
pieces with no greater case than does this
mighty water. The passage is about 400
yards in length, and of a zigzag form, with
obtuse corners." '
Uncle Pete Objects to the TOS-
sum Hunt.
(Told by Martin Heiskill.)
“ Now looks-here, Mahsr Tom, and you
all, you all wouldn't a-ketched me out on

“The WOmen's HoIel," is said to have failed
for the reason that women refuse to be sepa-
rated from the men, in their daily life.
And now cemes a woman who, in a letter
to the New York Sun, declares that "Heaven
is to be peopled with three women to one
man," and so declares because that is the per-
centage of attendance in all the christian
churches. If the cause of the failure of the
hotel is correctly given, is there not great
danger that when the women find out how
much better Tophet is to be supplied with
masculiues than Heaven, that the women
will be more anxious to go to the former than
to the latter ? Anxrous ENQUirEn.

American Seed inn—India.
The following is an extract from a letter
written by Rev. James M. Alexander,
American missionary, located at Mynpooric,
Northern India, addressed to Thomas G.
Jones, of Washington, dated January 25,
1878: .-
The nice box of seeds sent by Hon. Fred-
erick Watts, reached me the 1st of Novem-
ber , many months after it was sent. It was
allowed to remain at the mission house, New
York, fora long time. If it had been sent
directly I should have received it in July.
You can inform the Commissioner of Ag-
riculture that all the seeds have germinated
and the plants are doing well. The seeds I
brought with me two years ago from the De-
partment, and also those sent‘ out last year,
do much better in India than seeds sent out
fromEngland.
Perhaps it is because they are fresher.
Certain it is that American seeds 'are more
popular among the English people than those
sent out from England. I gave a few of the
vegetable seeds to the civil surgeon here,
who is superintendent of the Mynpoorie
prison. He had then them planted in the
prison gardens, and he informs me that all
are growing nicely, while his English seeds
failed to germinate. I sent a parcel of the
seeds to a friend, who is living at Landow,
in the Himalaya Mountains. So it may be
interesting for you to know that while some
of our seeds are growing on the plains of
India, others are flourishing on the slopes of
those mighty mountains.

embedded in a foundation of rockbullust eighteen
inches in depth. Ail bridges are of‘ iron or stone,
and built upon the most; approved plans. Its pas-
senger curs, while eminently sure and substantial.
are at the some time models of' comfort and ele-
gance. .
The Safety Appliances
in use on this line well illustrate the far-seeing
and liberal policy of its management, in accord-
ance with which the utility only of an improve-
ment. and not its cost. has been the question of'con-
sideration, Among many may be noticed
THE BLOCK SYSTEBI 0F SIGNALS,
JANNEY COUPLFR, BUFFER. AND
PLATIr‘URi‘lI,
THE li’HARTON PATENT SWITCH,

“N-
A Patented Child.
The town of Sussex, Penn, has lately
been profoundly stirred by an extraordinary
and romantic law-suit. The case was an en-
tirely novel one, and no precedent bearing
upon it is to be found in the common 0;-
statute laws. While it is necessarily a mat-
ter of great interest to the legal profession,
its romantic side cannot fail to attract the
attention of persons of all ages and every
kind of sex. In fact, it is destined to be
one of the most celebrated cases in the an-
nals of American jurisprudence.
Some time last Winter 'a lady whom We
will call Mrs. Smith, who kept a boarding-
house‘ in Sussex, took her little girl, aged 4.
with her to} make a call on Mrs. Brown, hcr
near neighboor. Mrs. Brown was busy in
her kitchen, where she received her Visitor
with her usual cordiality. There was a
large fire blazing in the stove, and while
the ladies were excitedly discussing the new
bonnet of the local Methcdist minister’s
wife, the little girl ineautiously sat down on
the stove-hearth. She was instantly con-
vinced, that the hearth was exceedingly hot,
and loudly bewailing the fact, was rescured
by her mother and carried home for medical
treatment. A few days later Mrs. Smith
burst, in great excitement, into the room of a
young law student, Who was one of her
boarders, and with tears and lamentation
disclosed to him the fact that her child was
indelibly ,branded with the legend, “Patent-
ed 1872.” These words in raised letters had
happened to occupy just that part of the
stove-hearth on which the child had seated
herself, and being heated nearly to red-heat
they had reproduced themselves on the sur.
face of the unfortunate child.
Thelaw student entered into the mother’s
sorrow with much sympathy. but after he
had in some degree calmed her mind he in-
formed her that a breach of law had been
committed. “Your child,” he remarked,
“ has never been patented, but she is marked
‘Patented. 1872.’ This is an infringement
of the statute. You falsely represent by that
brand that a child for whom no patent has
been issued is patented. The false repre-
sentation is forgery, and subjects you to
the penalty made and provided for that
crime.”
Mrs. Smith was, as may be supposed
greatly alarmed at hearing this statement,
and her first impulse was to beg the young
man to save her from a convict’s cell. With
a gravity suited to the occasion, he explained
the whole law of patents. He told her
that had she desired to patent the child, she
should have elther constructed a model of
it or prepared accurate drawings, with
specifications showing distinctly what parts
of the child she claimed to have invented.
The model of these drawings she should
have Zforwarded to the Patent Office, and
she would then have received in due time a
patent—provided, of course, the child was
really patentsble—and would have been
authorized to label it “Patented." “ Un-
fortunately,” he pursued, “it is now too
late to take this course, and we must boldly
claim that a patent was issued, but that the
record was destroyed during the recent fire
in the Patent Office."
This suggestion cheered the spirit of Mrs.
Smith, but they were again dashed by the
further remarks of the young man. He re-
minded her that the child might find it very
inconvenient to be patented. “If we claim"
—he went on to say—“ that she has been
regularly patented, it follows that the owner-
ship of the patent, including the child her-
self, belongs to you, and,will pass at your
death into the possession of your heirs.
Holding the patent, they can prevent any
husband taking possession of the girl by
marriage, and they can sell, assign, transfer,
and set over the patent-right and the accom-
panying girl to any purchaser. If she is
sold to a speculator or to a joint stock com-
pany, she will find her position amost un-
pleasant one. To sum up the ease, Madam,
either your child is patented or she is not.
If she is not ptaented, you are guilty of for-
gery. If she is patented, she is an object
of barter and sale, or, in other words, a
chattel.” -
This was certainly a wretched state of
things, and Mrs. Smith, to case her mind,
begun to abuse Mrs. Brown, whose stove
had branded the unfortunate little girl. She
loudly insisted that the whole fault rested
with Mrs. Brown, and demanded to know
if the latter could not be punished. The
young man, who was immediately learned
in the law, thereupon began a new argu-
ment. He told her that where there is a
wrong there must, in the nature of things,
be a remedy. “Mrs. Brown, by means of
her stove, has done you a great wrong. In
accordance with the maxim, 9w! faa't per
alt‘um facz't per se,‘ Mrs. Brown, and not the
stove, is the party from whom you must
demand redress. She has wickedly and ma-
liciously, and at theinstignation of the devil,
branded your child, and thus rendered you
liable for an infringement of the Patent law.
.It is my opinion, Madam, that an actionfor
assault and an action for libel will both he
against Mrs. Brown, and ‘ semble,’ that there
is also ground for having her indicted for
procurement of forgery." Finally after much
further argument, the young man advised
her to apply to a magistrate and procure the
arrest and punishment of Mrs. Brown.
Accordingly, Mrs. Smith applied to the
Mayor, who, after vainly trying to compre-
hend the ease and to find out against Mrs.
Brown, compromised the matter by unofli-
cially asking the lady to appear before him.
When both the ladies were in court, Mrs.
Smith, prompted by the clerk, put her com-
plaint in the shape of a charge that Mrs.
Brown had branded the youthful Smith girl.
The latter was then marked “Exhibit A,"
and formerly put the evidence, and both
complaint and defendant told their respective
stories. .
The result was that the court, in every
able and voluminous opinion, decided that
with aview of avoiding the penalty of in-
fringing the Patent law, the, mother must
apply to Congress for a special act declaring
the child regularly and legally patented. If
Congress finds time to attend to this impor-
tant matter, little Miss Smith will be the
first girl ever patented in this country, and
the legal profession will watch with unfiag-
ging interests the lawsuits to which in future
an infringement of the patent may lead—JV.

A Russ THAT WoULnx'r Worm—The
Sacramento Record tells of a well known
Sacramentan who had'bcen out with the boys
until about three o'clock, and who, feeling a
trifle uneasy as to what his wife would say
upon the subject, determined to adopt a little
piece of strategy. He entered the house
cautiously, noiselessly removed his boots,
and then made his way to their bed room.
He was not so oblusticated but that he knew
that it would be dangerous to attempt to get
into bed, so after disroblngihe took up a
position by the side of the baby’s cradle and
began rocking it like a ’49er. His wife,
aroused by the noise, discovered him, as it
was part of his deep-laid plan she should,
and called out: “Why, what on earth are
you doing there?” “Doing?” he replied,
keeping the kinks out of his tongue by an
almost superhuman effort, “doing? I’m trying
to get this—baby to sleep! She’s been cry-
ing half an hour, and you’ve slept through
it all I” His air of righteous indignation was
well put on, but it would not do—luck was
against him. “What do you mean ?” his
better half sternly responded. "I've got the
baby in bed here with me, and she hasn’t
cried to night. When did you come home?”
