r A TALKING LAMP.
TELEPHONE AND ITS WORKING^!;
j Rjdfessor W. Dttddell yesterday delivered, !
I bet Sr,, a largo audience, at the Royal Instd- !
j .tu’Afflii, London, the fourth of his Christmae j
i cotnv.e of lectures on signalling. His 6ub- j|
, jeet was “The Telephone and its Working,” |'
which the lecturer introduced by giving a l|
' number of interesting experiments, indicat- j|
i ing how the vibration of air produces and L
’ affects sound. Bjfdantem slides he showed
the varying effects of musical sounds and i 1
the inflexions of the human voice, and then ji
went on to explain the fundamental prin- iii
1 ciples nf the bell telephone, the carbon
. transmitter, and its development into the
c modern microphone. \
j - On the soreen appeared a series of views
-j illustrating how messages are received and
■ answered through the telephone exchange,
and in this connection the lecturer men-
tioned the interesting fact that, popular as
the telephone is in America, whereas in
London every person who has a telephone
uses it on the average six times a day, in
New York the corresponding averaga is only
a fraction over fonr times a day. One of
the most interesting experiments shown wa3
that Of telephoning along a stream
Hfeht.
Tha lecturer remarked that from the
latest experiments made in Berlin an are
lamp might be made capable of talking,
tlyimrh U, what practicable use this might,
be made to apply could only at present be
conleoture d.
The fate of a floating menagerie oarried by
tne German cargo steamer Lichtenfelf, which
put into Xow-Ybrk recently, is one of the
most tra.gio chapters in animal history.
The crew of the Lichtenfels are animal
lovers to a man, and when the vessel left
Calcutta she carried quite a hundred pete.
She arrived in New-York (says the Express
correspondent) with one — a mangy cat mat
had seen many viois^ita idiSSi.... « r
The captain had a ecUlS dog, the first officer
a. Young - crocodile, the second officer halt a.
dozen parrots, the chief engined a doe. the
‘•second engineer a choice pair of hooded
cobras, the fifth and sixth engineers divided
the ownership of three mongooses, and so on;
while the Lascars in the forecastle had thirty
monkeys, several hairy-nosed porcupines*
Malayan squirrels, and numerous birds. The
cook was the proud owner of a well- developed
young cheetah. All hoped to sell their pens
profitably in
, NEW-YORK.
The cheetah. began the trouble. He sur-
reptitiously bit a piec out of hie owner s Leg
in the cootc’s galley, and killed -the chief en-
gineer’s doe. He was finally driven over-
board by a party of angry seamen.
Within two days of Suez, a Red Sea sand-
storm blinded the monkeys*, and almost drove
them mad. Finally, aLl but two jumped over-
board. The Lascars, depressed by so any
suicides, sold the survivors at Suez.
A day later tho crocodile hit one of the
engineers so violent, a blow on the head that
he remained stunned for some time. The
sailors chastised him so vigorously that they
cracked his skull, and- he was heaved over-
Goinsr through the Canal, the colLio barked
vigorously at a
A GESTICULATING ARAB
on the 'bank, lost his balance, and was
drowned. £ .
The squirrels died. Tho cat was worsted in
encounters with the porcupines, but she sur-
vived, whlie they died from various causes.
Two parrots were killed by the cat, ^ and
tho rest died of • the cold in the ' North
Atlantic. , ... ,
Then a gale, which raged seven days, killed
off others, and there were only left the oat, i
one (mongoose. atk| th<H two cobras.- — 'all
deadly rivals. Tho mongoose leaped into the
cobras’ box and killed one with a savage bite
in fchq neck. The other fought him, and both
! died. •
