DamenV has taken successive pho¬ tographs of the lips of a speaker, so that oil arranging them a deaf mute able to read from the motion of the lips can un¬ derstand them. The influence of forests in protecting the water supply is well illustrated in the case of Greece. In ancient days she possessed 7,500,000 acres of forest. To¬ day she has hardly 2,000,000 acres, and the scarcity of water and other injurious climatic effects are traceable to the de¬ struction of the trees. In the opinion of Prof. Houston, we may not unreasonably expect future progress to present these five features: electricity produced direct from coal, the steam engine entirely aerial navigation replaced effected, by the electric motor, production of light without heat, and the application of electricity to the cur¬ ing of disease and prolonging of life. A lamp may be lighted with a piece of ice. A small piece of metallic touched potassium with the is laid on the wick and ice, when the water immediately pro¬ duces a flame. This is due to the proper¬ ty of this me’al to oxidize with exceed¬ ing rapidity on contact with water. This curious experiment is to be made with great caution, as if too much of the po¬ tassium is used an explosion will take place. Plans have just been completed irrigating for the construction of another great canal with reservoirs in Arizona, in the Santa Cruz valley, and when it is com¬ pleted 300,000 more acres of the great American desert will be supplying the finest kinds of fruit and grains a id other products for the eastern markets. The canal will be seventy miles long aud thirty feet wide at the bottom, and the construction of the works will cost about $1,200,000. The Opera by Telephone.— During the last two years, the Theatrophone Company has developed in Paris a ser¬ vice that is quite remarkable. The eom pany now has installed in the city 100 theatrophoncs, which are distributed on eleven lines in the large hotels, restau rants, theatre vestibules, etc. In nddi tion to this, a certain number of sub scribers are regularly served by their private telephones. On placing a 50 centime piece in the slot of one of the theatrophones, any person can listen for live minutes to a performance named in a wicket in front of the apparatus. Should an intermission occur, the auditor is at once placed in communication with an¬ other stage. The ojrerator at the central station responds to signals given by the theatrophones by making connection with the desired theatres, the switch-board being in no material respect different fronr those in use for telephones. secondary sta¬ At each of the theatres is a tion, connected with a series of micro¬ phones on the stage.

ROBERTA, CRAWFORD COUNTY. GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2. 1892, PLYMOUTH ROCK. REMINISCENCES OPTBEEARLY PILGRIMS. Where They First Set Foot in Amei- ioa — Historical Spots ami Memories ot the Stern ana ltoclc-Bouiul Coast, j T was on one of New 3 England’s loveliest early spring raorn I 1 jngs, writes a San Ffftneisco Chronicle correspondent, that our little party set out «fe J; j from aiid South than H»bsoi, half m j hour in less In iA an we were Mi iff j the historic town of l; ji Plymouth. The first il thing to be seen after ^5?’ Hi leaving the train, was . lei Blandish—I paean an electric car by that name. Doubtless if Governor Bradford and his “partners in distress’’ could comeback to Plymouth and see that “broomstick train” as it buzzes and splutter along, they would believe more firmly in witches than ever did Cottdii Mather or the Salemitfes’. We go at once to Pilgrim Hall, and there are brought face to face with the old days of 1650. The tables, '•hairs; iron pots and variolls belongings of the Probably Pilgrims make them very real to us. they weie prosaic enough to eat when they could get anything for that purpose. One is impressed with the fighting qualities of those earnest men. Swords are plentiful, beginning with Miles Standish’s “trusty sword bf Damascus, curved at the point and in¬ scribed with its mystical Arabic sen¬ tence,” down to swords that are of no great renown. The old guns and the other implements of warfare showed that, the Pilgrims did not confine their read¬ ing to the verse which says! “But who¬ soever shall smite thee ou the right cheek turn to him the Other also.” Tuey must have compared Scripture with Scripture, and probaby saw tho passage which says: “And he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.” They were men who were determined to plant a colony, and they were of real fighting stock. They could praise God in their church on the hill with their s — - mJEJ aa. O , -T’ V "t iiimm governor Bradford’s house, 1621. guns in easy reach, six cannon on the roof and a vigilant sentinel ready to give the alarm on the first approach of danger. They believed that the way to have peace is to be prepared for war. In Pilgrim Hall one may see the old¬ est State document in the United States, brought over in the Fortune in 1621. Until 1883 it was not known to be in existence. There is also a commission issued by Oliver Cromwell in 1654. The signature was stolen in 1848 by some mean fellow, but the fac simile of the signature put over the torn corner is in a bold hand and worthy of the Lord Pro tector. One sees all sorts of relics, some of which have but little to do with the history of Plymouth colony. piece of Plymouth If you want a rock you can easily get it. The cus todian of the hall has pieces that were chipped from the under side of the lock some years ago. A piece as big as your fist can be had for $10 and little bits from five cents up, according to size. But we must see the rock itself. A short walk brings us to that historic bowlder. It is near the water, having been raised from its original position. The rock has something of a roving dis¬ position. Perhaps the pressing feet of the Pilgrims communicated in some mys terious way a spirit of peregrination. In 1834 a piece of the rock that was acci¬ dentally split off in 1774 was moved to the ground in front of Pilgrim Hall and there carefully guarded by an iron fence, but afterward was returned and cemented to its place, and there it now stands on Water street protected by a granite can - opy, in the attic of which peacefully re¬ pose the bones of some of the Pilgrims who died during the first year and were puried on Cole's Hill. By the way, it was quite in keeping with historic asso¬ ciations that the rock should have shown “Separatist” tendencies. Cole’s Hill near the water is a spot of melancholy interest. Here it was that r 4.

Not fat away is the site of the first house in Plymouth, and tha Hirst Street in New England, Leyden street, leads up to Burying Hill. One passes the site of John Alden’s and Priscilla’s first housekeeping experiences, and quickly comes to that sightly spot which is thickly covered with graves and is khowii as Burying Hill. Here are the graves 6f Carver and Bradford and others s^hri came over in the Maytiower. Very quaint are most of the slate slabs. The lettering is in some cases vr.ry Crude; and the old-style spelling has a fascina¬ tion for any one who has a particle of the antiquary in him. Her? there is a fine view of the harbors ol Plymouth and Mahomet Duxbury, Captain’s Hill, Ciipe Cod and Hilts. m*.

It is interesting which relates td read the original document, td the possession of a red heifer by Miles Standish, Miles having bought out the shares of other parties, afterward came into ownership of the entire animal. There is also a deed given "by John Alden in his own handwriting, But more in teresting still is the original charter 1629, of the colony which came over in to- gether with the seal, a ponderous thing about three-quarters of an inch thick and about four inches in diameter, with the leather-covered box in which the precious document was sent. But there remains one sight which the tourist must not omit, whatever else h e fails to see, and that is the National monument to the Forefathers. It is on a commanding hill, from which one has a magnificent view of the harbor, em¬ bracing the strip of sand which serves as a break-water, the points of Saquish and the Gurnet, and Clark’s Island, where the inflexible Pilgrims spent a bleak December Sabbath rather than desecrate 1 a m wrw 3 fegi - V m V & Pf' MONUMENT TO THE FOREFATHERS. the sacred day by explorations however imperative the case might be. Here on this hill is the place of all places for the monument. It is easily accessible to the visitor, being but a short distance from the business part of the village. The monument is eighty-one feet high. The central figure, Faith, holds the Bible in one hand and with the other points upward. It is the largest granite statue in tie world, being thirty-six feet high. It is an inspiration to look up into that tees with «f redi¬ ant hope. The hope of the Pilgrims is there without their tinge of stern sad¬ ness. The four sitting figures on the pedestals about the base splendidly re¬ present Law, Freedom, Education and Morality. The bas-reliefa which adorn aides of the DedesUl are most exquis itelvdone The whole country ought to be proud of that monument. Itcom memorates a slender enterprise that was cn ^ with a .nighty spirit. Why were the few weak arid weary men and women who landed on the ice-clad, rock- - bonnd coast of New EaglaaJ, in bleak December, not swept away and all their plans and purposes brought tn naught by the successive calamities that rriiued up¬ on them? The words of Edward Everett are applicable here. “Tell me, man of military science, in how many months were they all swept away by the thirty savage tribes of New Enoland? Tell me ( politician, how long diet this shaddw ttf a colony; on which your conventions and treaties had not smiled; languish ou the distant' coast? Is it possible thrit flora it beginning so feeble, so frail, so worthy, not so' riiuc.i of admiration as of pity, there has gone forth a progress so steady, a grov. tu so wonderful, an expansion so ample, a reality so important, a promise yet to be fulfilled, so glorious?" The Ticket Seller’s Parrot. Ben Lusbie, who for flltoen years was Hut! Gf the greatest features of Barnaul's circus inthe capacity of 'HlgHtriirig ticket seller,” had a wonderful parrot, which had been presented to him by one of the canvassmen of the show, who was at one time a sailor on a steamer plying between Boston and Fernandino, in the Bahamas, trisbie ti9rid td hdVd A way of quieting the scrambling mob of ticket-purchasers around the ticket wagon by saying, “Don’t be in a hurry, gentlemen.” “There’s plenty of time.” “Don’t crowd each other,” ^One at a time; gen¬ tlemen,” and such like expressions: Tho parrot, which was perched upon tho safe n j mmmm ir ti Kj i - A PARROT IN ADVERSITY. in the wagon just back of Lusbie, got td learn these little speeches after a sea¬ son’s tour and often broke out in a pierc¬ ing squawk with one of them, much to Lusbie’s amusement. The parrot, which was quite Rer a little vagabond, day and broke flew loose from fetters one over into a neighboring woods, near the cir¬ cus grounds. and A searching party was made up, they had not proceeded far before they heard a vast racket, apparently made by squawking birds. Hastening to the scene they found poor Poll clinging as best she could to the limb of a dead tree, surrounded by a screaming flock of c-ows. The parrot had only two or three tail feathers left, and the hostile crows were striking, pecking and pluck¬ ing her right and left. Bunging on as best she could the parrot was shrilly screaming, “One nt a time, gentlemen!’’ !’* Don’t crowd there!” “Take your time “There’s plenty more left.”—Indianap¬ olis Journal.

A Forger Cleverly Trapped. In a trial of political importance, the whole case of which hinged upon the question of the genuineness of certain letters, the most important witness was, while under examination, suddenly taken by surprise by being called to write down a particular word which occurred in the letters. The slip of paper WWW handed back, with the word misspelt in an identically similar fashion to that in which it api>eared in the correspondence, and the clever forger was soon after de¬ tected in the witness himself.—Argo¬ naut.
