If. Thomas A. Edison in the North

nog raj ih at some length.
ikva-fViien Mr. Edison was engaged
manipulating a Morse telegraphic ma
le that he first conceived the idea of
phonogiaph. He notic -d that when
cylinder carrying the indented paper
very swiftly it gave off a

results were obtained that Mr.

led for receiving the record of
ulsations, which are incised on
in very fine lines. When the

ong the uses to which the pho
would be applied: 1. Letter

iple without effort on their part,
eaching of elocution. 4. Re

me, so as to make that invention an
iliary in the transmission of perma
t and invaluable records, instead of
ig the recipient of momentary and

Hi very one of these uses the perfected
Hinograph is now ready to carry out.
Hmay add that, through the facil-
H with t which it stores up and re-
Buluces music of all sorts, or whistling
Hi recitations, it can be employed to
Hnish constant amusement to invalids,
■ to social assemblies, at receptions,
Hmers, etc. Any one sitting in his
Hun alone may order an assorted supply
■v. ax cylinders inscribed with songs,
Hems, piano or violin music, short
Bries, anecdotes, or dialect pieces, and,
H putting them on his phonograph, he
Hn listen to them as originally sung or
Hrited by authors, vocalists and actors,
I elocutionists. The variety of enter-
Hmnent he thus commands, at trilling
■pense and without moving from his
Hair, is practically unlimited. Music
H band, in fact whole operas, can be
Hared up on the cylinders, and the voice
H Patti singing in England c-un thus be
Hard again on this side the ocean, or
Heserved for future generations. On
Hur cylinders eight inches long, with a
Hameter of five, 1 can put the whole of
■Nicholas Nickleby”in phonogram form.
■ The speeches of orators, the discourses
of clergymen, can be had “on tap” in
Hery house that owns a phonograph. It
■ould not he very surprising if, a few
f ars hence, phonographic newspaper
illetins should be issued on wax cylin
ders. Even now, so soon as the phono
■raph comes into general use, newspaper
fcporiers and correspondents can talk
Bieir matter into the phonograph, either
fc the editorial office or at some distant
loint, by a telephone wire connected
with a phonograph in the composing
loom, so that the communication may be
fct up in type without any preliminary
If writing it out in long hand.
llThe wax cylinders can be sent through
Bie mails in little boxes which I have had
prepared for that purpose, and then put
Ipon another phonograph at a distant
loint, to be listened to by a friend or
lusiness correspondent. To obviate the
difficulty caused by the friend’s not hav
ing a phonograph of his own, pay sta
tions will be established, to which any
Sine may take the phonogram that he has
feceived, have it placed on the instru
nent, and the contents recited to him
Irom the machine, as well as copied out
lit the same moment by a type writer.
I Authors can register their fleeting
ideas and brief notes on the phonograph
It any hour of day or night, without
waiting to find pen, ink or paper, and in
nuch less time than it would take to
vritc out even the shortest memoranda,
lhey can also publish their novels or
;*says exclusively in phonograph form,
io as to talk to their readers personally;
md in this way they can protect their
jvorks from being stolen by means of de
fective copyright laws. Musical compo
rts, in improvising compositions, will
:>e able to have them recorded instanta
neously on the phonograph.
f urthermore, two business men, con
terring together, can talk into the
by means of a double trans
mitting tube, with perfect privacy, and
pet obtain upon the cylinder an unim
peachable transcript of their conversa
tion in their own voices, with every
break and pause, every hesitation or
confident affirmation, every partial sug
gestion or particular expiation, infallibly
set down in the wax.
betters of introduction may bespoken
to a phonograph blank, without any
°f the formality of address and phraseol
ogy now customary, or the trouble of
folding, enveloping and addressing a
Written communication. In fact all
torrespondem e will be greatly simplified
pad wisely abbreviated by the use of
phonograms. A telephone subscriber
I can place at his telephone a phonogram
i which will announce to the exchange,
whenever he is called up, that he has
left the office and will return at a certain
time. Similaily, one man calling at the
office of another and not finding him,
will talk into the phonograph anything
he wishes to say. This saves the trouble
of writing a note, and obviates the un
certainty of giving to clerk, office boy ot
servant an oral message that may be for
gotten or incorrectly delivered. The
accuracy of interviews with newspaper
reporters will a'so be determined, n«
doubt, by phonographic record. And
travelers in vestibule trains will be glad
to use phonograph blanks, owing to the
difficulty of writing while on a rapidly
moving train.
Odd Scenes in Yucatan.
Among ether oddities we observed in
Yucatan, says a writer in the Philadel
phia Record , a long procession of female
servants, twenty-five or thirty of them,
drawing water from two deep wells,
reaching a cenote by an endless chain of
Sheepskin buckets over a huge wheel.
All day this living machinery came a id
went, each woman carrying a great can
taro, or jar, steadied upon her hip or
shoulders. The water irrigates tiie orange
groves, pineapple patches, and coffee
plantation, and the gardens shaded by
bananas, limes and cocoa palms. With
out it the sandy plain would have re
mained a vast desert, and with it the
hacienda blossoms like an oasis, as in
reality it is.
There are no rivers in Yucatan that
flow above the ground, the people being
wholly dependent upon the clouds for
their supply of water, and upon streams
that run beneath the surface. The en
tire peninsula is one vast table coral
rock, beneath wliii hrivers flow. At in
tervals these break out into caverns
formed by earthquakes, by the pressure
of the streams or by the infiltration of
surface water into natural grottos cf the
coral rock. Centimes ago the Indians
marked the courses of the subterranean
rivers hy heaps of stones, and always
built their cities close by the water
caves. Wherever these rivers appear to
the light of day, the place is called a
cenote pronounced ce-note-a). There
are a great many scattered all over Yu
catan, and those near Merida ire utilized
as public bath houses, affording the most
refreshing resorts.
The cenote, near the hacienda of which
I write, is a cavern nearly fifty feet deep
broken down at one side, thus forming
an arch of limestone. Within it ap
peared every form of stalagmite and
stalactite and its roof is perforated with
holes, in which are thousands of nests of
birds and hornets. A flight of stone steps
leads down to it from the charming gar
den above, and palms and aquacates
growing at the bottom thrust their verd
ant crowns just above the level of terra
firma. The water is perfectly clear, ap
parently bottomless, and contains many
blind fish (piscado cenote) like those
found in the mammoth Cave of Ken
tucky. The overhanging roots of trees
fringe its broken arch, affording shelter
to numberless lizards and iguanas, which
dart along the ledges, while above them
countless swallows are constantly cir
cling in masses so dense that the whir
ring of their wings produces a deafening
noise, echoed from below in hollow re
verberations.
Another novelty to us about this haci
enda was its bee garden. It is reached
by going down the great corridor past the
cattle yard (all cattle yards in Yucatan
are in front of, or immediately adjoining
the houses of iheir owners), past the
well where the women were drawing
water, and through a garden of orange
and lime trees. The bee hives were
primitive, but complete, being merely
hollow logs cut about two feet long,
plastered up at each end with mud, and
piled in long rows. Every six weeks
they are emptied and at certain seasons
of the year the honey is so odorous of
flowers as to scent the whole house. One
advantage in this industry is that the
bees of Yucatan are entirely stingless,
and may be bandied with impunity.
$ line Enormous Salaries.
Some interesting figures in regard to
salaries have been elicited in a suit in
Brooklyn against a baking-powder com
pany. It was shown that the President
of the company draws a salary of $50,-
000 a year, the Vice President $30,000,
and the Treasurer SOOOO. The President
of a paint and varnish company, whe
was introduced as an expert in regard tc
salaries, stated that the Superintendent
of his company received SIO,OOO a year,
while the yearly business did not exceed
$3,000,000. Another witness stated that
in companies with which he was ac- f
quaintecl the chief executive officers re
ceived from SIOOO to $50,000 a year,
w r hile a representative of a kerosene-oi!
company said that he knew one officei
of a large corporation who received a
salary of $30,000 a year, and two others
who received $20,0U0 each. These fig
ures are enormous, and were unknown
until the days of trusts and combina
tions. The explanation is furnished in
the testimony of one of the w itnesses,
who said that the business of the com
pany with which he is connected had
been increased until the profits had
reached 450 per cent, on the original
capital stock. —Baltimore Sun.
Rabbin? a Boa-Constrictor for Foo l.
One day, on crossing some rocky
ground, says a Burmese traveler, wo
came upon au enormous boa-constrictor,
lying under a projecting ledge, quite
supine and in a state of apparent lifeless
ness. As in this comatose condition the
snake is quite harmless, we handled it
freely. We could feel the bones of some
animal beneath the distended skin.
After our shekarries had cut of the boa’s
head they ripped the body opeu and
found a mountain sheep inside. It was
not an inviting spectacle, as the body ol
the sheep w r as very slimy and presented
a horrid, flattened appearance, showing
that its bones were crushed. Our shek
arrics, however, thought differently to
us, for they cut the sheep up and carried
it to cook for supper. They also util
ized the boa as food, drying its flesh in
the sun. How the snake ever mauaged
to swallow the long horns of the sheep
was more than we could conceive. —Sun

METHODS OF GOLD MINING.
AN OLD PROSPECTOR S INTEREST
INGt EXPERIENCES.
Washing: the Auriferous Particles
From the Samis —Gold-Bearing
Quartz—Captured l)y llats.
A New York Commercial Adr Fun
representative gleaned the following
facts concerning gold digging from an
old Australian miner: “How do we get
the gold:” he repeated in response to a
question. “Wash it or crush it. It is
lonnd iu different shapes in different
places. <<ut west, where I worked first,
it was all alluvial washing from the river
sand with cradles. The cradle I had
onc e was a piece of plush fastened on an
inclined plane with the grain of the
plush lying upward so than any finestu ",
such as the grains of gold in the sand,
would stick into the plush when washed
over it. All you had to do was to get a
decent head of water to turn into your
cradle, feed in your sand by the shovel
ful and rock your cradle. The gold
dust being heavier than the sand would
stick to the plush and the dirt would
wash away. Then you picked up your
pie e of plush carefully and washed it off
in a bowl of clear water, when the gold
would collect at the bottom, home fel
lows used a piece cf fur instead of plush.
Others only had a pan. They would
take a pan half full of sand and puddle
it awhile, and the gold iroitig to the bot
tom, the top would be thrown away.
That’s the way prospecting along the
river sands was generally done. If you
cou d get a good ‘color’ it woul.l be
worth rigging a cradle.
“Two or three men generally go out
together with picks and shovels. Their
expenses are probably half paid at least
by other miners who are earning steady
pay. The prospectors come to a likely
looking spot, and probably decide by a
toss-up whether or not to try it. Then
they dig a pit in the ground till they
sink through the same kind of stuff that
is on the surface. Then they may come
to a streak of the clay containing gold.
It is something like pipe clay, very soft
when first dug, but hardens in the sun,
and was once the bottom of some stream.
If it contains good gold, all that is nec
essary is to drive a tunnel on the level
and take it out. Sometimes it is ‘pock
ety.’ that is at a bend of the stream the
gold seems to have settled in a lump by
an eddy. The gold is extracted from
the clay by puddling machines and
crushers. Sometimes the pay streak
will stop short off, as though the stream
had jumped a precipice. Other times it
will follow along for miles as crooked as
a creek. When one of these holes is first
opened, the miners are often taken sick
with something like malaria, from the
smell of the old stuff that has been cov
ered up so long.
“New Zealand has put out a lot of
gold. It is found there in river sands,
in the mountains ana in beach washings,
all of which, of course, as all alluvial
workings, have originally come from
quartz reefs washed out some time or
another. There was one strip of black
sand on the west coast beach which was
very rich when lirst discovered. I was
one of a party which tramped across the
country to it through the bush, with our
provisions and tools on our backs from
Christ Church to Hokitika, about 150
miles. When we got there things were
booming, and during a few months un
heard of fortunes were washed out. But
in a short time the place became overrun
with rats. There was no way of keeping
clear of them, until one day a little
schooner arrived from Wellington with
a cargo of cats sent by a man who first
heard of the plague. The pussies sold
rapidly for $5 apiece and killed off the
rodents, but the strip of beach got thor
oughly worked out, and then the miners
took to the mountains.”
“Quartz mining is the same all the
world over. Prospectors go out armed
with sledge-hammers. They see a vein
of quartz in a bowlder, smash it up and
perhaps find several small nuggets.
They pick out these pieces of gold care
fully and carry them until* they get
Imougli to send to a crusher. Often a
propector will make $3 or $4 a day
smashing bowlders. These bowlders al
ways lie near to some regular lead of
quartz, and quartz leads always run east
and west. Consequently, when there
is a profusion of gold-bearing bowlders,
the genet al plan adopted is to run a
trench north and south through the sur
face-dirt to the bed rock, which at
some po : nt must cut across the lead.
White quartz is not by any means the
most valiwable; it is generally the poorest.
Most gold is frequently found in dirtv-
Tooking veins, mixed with iron rust.
Sometimes the quartz is so rotten with
gold that it can be broken up by hand.
It has to be blasted out of the rock and
put through a crusher to separate it
from the dirt. The crushers are ma
chines with very powerful stamps, run
by steam or water power, which pound
<the ore to powder. A stream of water
then washes it over plates covered with
quicksilver, to which the gold
dust adheres and the dirt is
washed away. When the plates get
colored with the gold adhering to them
and constituting amalgam with the mer
cury, they are scraped off and the amal
gam melted down. The mercury eva
porates, the gold while boiling in a cru
cible is purified with borax, and then
run into bars the same way that it is seen
in the assay office. It is not necessary
always to see gold in the quartz to maks
sure it is there. Often dirt that does not
contain more than three pennyweights of
gold to the ton will pay to put through
the crusher.
“Sometimes a stream will cut through
a quartz lead or reef a id save the trouble
of trenching to find it. Quartz reefs are
of no uniform width or depth or extent.
They are from half an in li to a couple
of feet wide, generally two or throe
inches, and their depth has never been dis
covered. After a heavy rain at a quartz
diggings, ‘sites’ of gold, little nuggeti
in sc ans of refuse ore, will often b<
picked up in the road.
“There is one sat sfaction about gold
mining, and particularly about alluvial
washings,” conclude 1 the horse-car con
ductor, “and that is that you always get
your money as soon as you make it with
out having to collect it. The harder
you work the more you make, and there
is a very pleasurable uncertainty about
it, for you don’t know when you may
find a nugget.”
