It was a fieculiar lcxjk ing hut fi.no toned instrument, which liatl helongfnl to her dead grandfather, and no one kuows how it came into his lHsses!-kn. Jlr. Harris, in examining the pieces today, found the following fitrango inscription written on the wood: "March ti, 1SW). This guitar is put together today by a man who has been in prison eleven years under a sentence of life, a prisoner who is a victim of cir cumstances and today is held as a crimi nal. To carry out revenge the plan was so laid that Chamberlain is into it yet unbeknown to himself.

Bead backward the signature forms the name "Ben Foster." Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. An Uneven Trade. A Brooklyn boy nine or ten years old began several months ago to save money to buy a pony. His parents and rela tives humored his whim, and having I amPe means they helped along his ac cumulations very rapidly. The young ster had no idea of the purchasing power of money, but he had started out with the notion that when he filled his little iron bank he would have enough to buy the pony. When the bank would hold no more he broke it open, and his mother counted $60.15. "That is not enough to buy a pony, said she. "Then I guess I'll take a tricycle," said the boy. The tricycle was bought, and the boy started to explore the neighborhood. He was gone about two hours, and when he reached home he liad no tricycle, but he held his hat carefully under his arm. "Oh, mamma, look at these pretty kit ties! he exclaimed, displaying four small kittens just able to walk. "1 traded my tricycle for these." The boy's parents have not yet been able to nnd the other party to that bargain. New York Times. The Telaatogragh. Speaking of Gray's telautograph an electrician well acquainted with the pro moters of the Writing Telegraph com pany said: "It is current gossip with the electrical fraternity that the telauto graph is to Toe handled in connection with the Bell telephones. That is, a general company controls the device, it will form local companies in the usual manner, and in wormng with the iiell telephone people place telautographs ' tions of New Jersey have read the in with telephones.

Consul Denby, of Peking, China, re ports that in 1889 from one port, Ichang, there were exported 13,000 pounds of tigers' bones. For use as fertilizers the only use intelligent people seem to have for dead tigers these bones might be worth $150, yet they were entered at a value of $3,000. They are to be used as a medicine. From them will be made a "tonic," which the Chinese invalid be lieves will impart to him some of the tiger's strength and fierceness. For the same "medicinal" reasons 9,000 pounds of "old deers' horn" were valued at $1,700. Many of us who are filled with disgust at the folly of such absurd beliefs are now keeping up old customs and habits that are almost as absurd and expensive, in the light of modern progress, as thia tiger bone tonic. Rural New Yorker. The Army and the Church. The Austrian war minister has issued an order to encourage religious feeling in tne army, lie nnas tnac Austrian soldiers do not attend divine service ac cording to the regulations. Inasmuch as the encouragement of religious feel ing is regarded as of great service to the military, the army must henceforth go to church at least once a month. Like wise, young officers in command at church must conduct themselves, in a more reverential spirit than has been observed lately. Berlin Letter. Silkworms. Some genius in Syria, named Mousa Rhouri, has discovered the secret by which the silkworm makes silk. He can make the silk by machinery without the aid of the silkworm. In this way the cost of making silk can be reduced one-half. A manufactory is to be started in Georgia soon by a Syrian colony. To manufacture silk in this way a large tract of land has been secured on which to plant mulberries, and the emigrants expect soon to make their fortunes. Meehan s Monthly. A Floating Fire Engine.

The problem of a "telegraph without wires" has often been broached, but, RO far as I know, even the theoretical reali cation of this project has never been seriously attempted until recently, when Mr. hdison gave forth his views regard ing the matter. It would seem that Mr. iMlison has actually patented "means for transmitting signals electrically without the interposition of connecting wires. What he has to say regarding this subject is well worth our attention. He logins with the announcement of his discovery that, if a sufficient eleva tion bo obtained to overcome the curva ture of the earth, and to reduce as far as may be the earth's absorption, elec tric signaling may be carried on by in duction without the use of wires cou- I necting tho distant points of signaling stations. ! For signaling across oceans, says Mr. Edison, this method will lie very service able, inasmuch as it does away with the use of submarine cables; while for communication between vessels at sea. or between vessels at sea and points on land, the invention would be equally important. There is also no obstacle to its employment between distant points on land, but in the latter case it is nec essary to increase the degree of eleva tion or height from which the signaling operations are conducted, because of the induction absorbing effect of houses. trees and hills. Mr. Edison states that at sea he can communicate electrically to a great dis tance from a height of 100 feet. This height could be secured from the mast of a ship, so that signals could be sent from ship to ship, and communication be established, in this way, even over oceans themselves. Dr. Andrew Wil son in Illustrated London News. Queer Lobatera. Visitors to Portland pier who hap pened to drop into the lobster house of Mr. Lewis McDonald were favored with a view of a bright blue lobster. This lobster was caught off Cape Elizabeth by a Peak's island fisherman, and Yes terday was still alive. The color was decidedly different from the green of the ordinary lobster. On the back the bine was of that deep variety that be longs to indigo, and toward the extremi ties ana under parts snaaeu oil to a faint, but still unmistakable tint, and ! thence into a pure white. The under part of one of the claws is almost a pure white. The lobster is about eleven inches long. One claw is full eize, while the other is very small. It is said that one other blue lobster has been caught off the cape this season. Mr. McDonald thinks of preserving the spe cimen. He has also a pure white lobster. caught ahout hve years ago and pre served in alcohol. Mr. McDonald thinks it is the only pure white lobster ever caught. Portland (Me.) Press. a nig Peach crop Predicted. If the experts who have recently been t examining the orchards in the fruit sec- ; 1891 will seem insignificant compared j with the colossal crop impending. The farmers for the most part are a little skeptical about this prediction. r They say a good fruit year is almost in- variably followed by a bad one; but i prudent housewives, remembering that last season the hogs were ted upon peaches and vast quantities of the lus cious fruit were allow to rot, because there were not sufficient cans to hold it, are taking time by the forelock and providing themselves with preserving vessels far in advance of the promised harvest. The canning establishments, too, will be prepared to do an enormous business. Isew Y ork Times. The Snake Was Too Slow. With the approach of spring flowers and mild weather the crop of Georgia snake stories betrins to increase. The latest comes from Albany, in that state, and is to the effect that two or three days ago a Mr. Watson, a reputable citi zen, stepped on a big rattler. All that saved the man from being bitten was that the snake had just begun to swal low a rabbit and hadn't had time to get the morsel down. The snake struggled first to complete its meal, in order to get in its fine work on Mr. Watson, and then, failing in that, tried to disgorge the rabbit, but before it could accom plish its purpose was killed. Exchange. Argentine a Good Market. A settler in Diamante, Entre Rios, Ar gentine Republic, writes that over eighty reaping machines and forty-five thrash ing machines were received in that lo cality last year, while the cost of the twine used for binding wheat amounted to $60,000, and estimates that this year $150,000 worth of twine will be used. He says that the settlers this year will need 600,000 bags. Within the last two months Diamante has purchased $582, 000 worth of agricultural machinery. The yield of wheat during the past sea son has averaged almost a ton an acre. and is of a superior quality. Philadel phia Ledger. A Bottom lesa Cavern. There ia an extensive cave in Gilford township.
