The Phonograph Foreseen.
Phonography is thus described in the
April number, 1632, of The Courier
Veritable, a little monthly publication
in which novel fancies were frequently
aired: “Captain Vosterloeh has re¬
turned from his voyage to the southern
lands which he started on two years
and a half ago, by order of tire states
general. He tells us among other
things that in passing through a strait
below Magellan’s, Ire landed in a coun¬
try where nature lias furnished men
with a kind of sponges which hold
sounds and articulations as our sponges
hold liquids.
“So, when they wish to dispatch a
message to a distance, they speak to
one of the sponges, take them up gen¬
tly and press out the words that have
been spoken into them, and learn by
this admirable means all that their cor¬
respondents desire to know.”—Albert
de Boclias in Popular Science Monthly.
Colors Influence Insane People.
Colors influence not only cattle, but
human beings also. On this point some
curious experiences are reported from
Italy as to the effect of color on the
nerves of the sick and the insane. In
the hospital for the insane at Alessan¬
dria special rooms are arranged with
red or blue glass in the windows, and
also red or bl ue paint on the walls. A
violent patient is brought suddenly into
a blue room and left to the effect of
that color on his nerves. One maniac
was cured in an hour; another was at
peace in his mind after passing a day
in a room of violet. The red room is
used for the commonest form of de¬
mentia—melancholy — usually accom¬
panied by a refusal to take food. After
three hours in the ved room a patient
afflicted in this way began to be cheer¬
ful and asked for food.—Detroit Free
Press.
Both for scientific and f or industrial
purposes a standard of color ’ has long
been desired, and in order to attempt
a solution of the question the Society
of Arts is investigating the subject
through a committee.
Mistook a Snake for a Fence Bail.
Joseph Graham, of Jonas district, had
fed his hogs the other morning and
was leaning on the fence looking at
them eat when he felt something chilly
fondling and caressing him in a peculiar¬
ly earnest way about the head, face
and neck. He saw at once that he had
placed his elbow about midway on the
body of a king snake, several feet long,
and was holding him fast down on tiie
rail, and, as you would suppose, both
ends of the snake being loose, they cut
up vigorous and rapid capers about Mr.
Graham’s countenance. Mr. Graham
says he took his eibow off as soon as he
found that the snake did not want it to
stay on. —Eastman Times-Joumal.
The company formed to construct
the Brooklyn bridge was incorporated
in 1867, with a capital of $5,000,000, of
which $3,000,000 was to be contributed
by the city of Brooklyn. $1,500,000 by
the city of New York and $500,600 bv
private individuals. In 1875 the Brook¬
lyn bridge was made a state work, un
der direction of the cities of New York
and Brooklyn.—New York Sun.

Pryer— What is the point at issue in
the case of Jaggs vs. Henderson, which
has been dragging through the court;
so long?
Lawyer—The trouble began over the
ownership of a valuable dog. The iiti
gatiou has been going on for about six
years, and has cost the contestants
nearly £2,00 0 so far.
Pryer— Who will win the dog event¬
ually, do you think ?
Lawyer - The dog! Oh, he died

Deep Wells in Pennsylvania.
Some of the deepest wells in the
United States are within the limits of
the state of Pennsylvania, tlie deepest
being that at “Homewood,” the country
seat of George Westinghouse, near
Pittsburg, which on Dec. 1, 1886, had
reached a depth of 4,618 feet, when the
tools were lost and the drilling ceased.
The Buchanan farm well, belonging to
the Niagara Oil company, drilled by
Fred Crocker, in Hopewell township,
Washington county, is 4.303 feet deep.
The Rush well, also belonging to the
Niagara Oil company, in Washington
-•oiiT/ty, was abandoned at 3 300 feet.
The “Watson Deep Web,” on the
Jonathan Watson place, ne:ir Titus
ville. is something over 3.500 feet. J.
M. Go .Trey & Co.’s well on the Wrdz I
farm at West Newton, ’Westmoreland
county, Pa., is also 3,500 feet deep.!
