■ili HAT PHONOGRAPH. iSififIRUMEN? endowed with C.MOIT HUMAN INTELLIGENCE. ndeN’ul Uses to Which the Ma chine Invented by the Wizard of Menlo Park is Applied. If. Thomas A. Edison in the North erican L,t tew discusses his perfected 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 iming noise from the indentations, a ical, rhythmic sound, resembling of human talk heard indistinctly, his 4e 1 the inventor to lit a dia agm io to his machine, which would ive tli e vibrations, or sound waves, c bjghis voice as he talked to it, and I he vibrations on an impressible placed on the cylinder. Such results were obtained that Mr. ecided to continue his experi- His first machines, exhibited in rposely sacrificed distinctness of on in order to secure a loud ich would be heard in a large ten emitted through a funnel ransmitter. In his improved i Mr. Edison has substituted a of wax for the tin foil which he led for receiving the record of ulsations, which are incised on in very fine lines. When the finishes, two simple motions e reproducing diaphragm over and this diaphragm, provided ;ry fine needle, takes up and re the vibratious, bringing them to irough a tube. The entire ma •un by an electric motor, article ten years ago, I enurae ong the uses to which the pho would be applied: 1. Letter md all kinds of dictation with id of a stenographer. 2. Pho c books, which would speak to iple without effort on their part, eaching of elocution. 4. Re on of music. 5. The “Family —a registry of sayings, rem ■ences, etc., by members of a fam ■n tlieir own voices, and of the last ■s of dying persons. (!. Music boxes ■ toys. 7. Clocks that should au- Hcc in articulate speech the time for i|g home, going to meals, etc. 8. ■ preservation of languages, by exact loduction of the manner of pronoun r. Educational purposes, such as [erving the explanations made by a per, so that the pupil can refer to In at any moment, and spelling or pr lessons placed upon the phono ph for convenience in committing to jnory. 10. Connection with the tele 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 ting communications. 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 Francisco Ch con ide. Shopkeeper (accused of giving false weight) “The fact is, Yer Honor, the Inspector has been lying in wait for me. It’s a put-up job.” Magistrate—“ That would have made no difference to you if you had not been lying in weight also. Five pounds and costs.” — Fan. 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.” The best dressed woman on the Pacific coast is a Chinese girl.
