The latent marvel in applied science is the discovery by the inventor of the Bell telephone and Sumner Taintor, of j Waterton, Me., that "sounds can l>e pro j duoed by the action of a variable light from substances of all kinds, when in j the form of thin • . > j irepiu... m a. ftii«r. As in well known, the action of the telephone is due to variations in un de< * trie current, caused by a diaphram set in vibration by the voice, tho current thus modified reproducing the variation on a sensitive diaphram at the other end of the circuit. In tho •'photo" phone," a a the new invention is called, the changes In the electric current are made during its passage through selenium, a substance heretofore known only as a chemical curiosity, but with the strange property of conducting electricity more easily when exposed to light than when in the dark. A steady light allows a current to pass through hii even resistance ; a varied light varies the resistance, so that the current is stronger or weaker after passing through the selenium, and its variations are easily turned, in a telephone, into vibrations of sound. Prof. Bell and Mr. * Tainter have already spoken between i ]»oints about GOO feet apurt, and they j believe that tho rest can bo obtained as • » — - v.. a-~u~i The simplest apparatus of many devised consists of a plane mirror * of flexible material, as silvered microscope glass or mica, which will quiver with vibrations of sound. On this is gathered through a leirte a beam of light from any source, success having been found with a kerosene or candle flame. Tho parallel beam reflected from tho plane mirror is thrown to a distant concave mirror and focussed on a piece of selenium, electrically connected with a telephone. The voice throws the plane mirror into vibrations which modify in intensity the ray of light, which rapidly changes the resistance of the distant se Ionium, this varying the electric current in the telephone as the Voice now does directly. Another means of affecting the beam of light is by a disk perforated with slits, which is rapidly turned, producing in the solosniuin a continuous musical tone, whose pitch varies with the rapidity of the disk's rotation, a silent motion thus producing a sound.

Damn, A cv riot'h origin of an ksoi.isb oatil. Tho J#ondon "World" says : Everybody who is acquainted with a little French must know of the exclamation "Dame." Many Englishmen imagine that it must mean lady, and refer to the Virgin Mary. In point of fact it was oViginally 4 4 Dam ne," a corruption of Domine, meaning Lord. Now in English we liavo a kind of c necked curse— "Damn 1" It is as if an Englishman were about to curse something, but suddenly stopped himself. It is the old French word seized by the English, and endued with a new and false meaning no more than I*ord, he came the language of cursing in its transfer into English. We can see precisely the sanie thing in a later form of transformation. The old French "Damnc !" became at a later date 44 Dame 1" with a very distinct, pronunciation of tho mute vowel. In French poetry this vowel would he distinctly I heard to the present day ; but two hundred years ago there could be no . doubt about it, even In prose and ordi nary talk. In tho English plays of that period it will bo found in the form . of "Damns !" and "Damn nio !" — an | other proof that what was a mere a«\|uration in French became through misundonfttfiding a curse. In the old French wpic* there art? no phrases more common than such as 44 Dame Dieu," "Damns Dieu," "Datnpne Dieu," and "Dsmie Dion." They simply mean tho

"Lord God." But ixnogiu# what they must uieun, or rather must have meant, of awful and terrible to the old English, who either knew uot French, or were •lipping away from it and knew it but half. It is through this horrible uiisuii- J der»taudiiig of ancient date that the familiar verb for cursing — Damn— has oouie to be acclimatised among us as it • is among no other people on the face ( of the oarth. Our fashionable speech was st one time Norman French ; we tilled our mouths with Norman oaths. We then forgot their meaning ; we ig Moruiitly turned them to curses ; and to our disgrace they remain as curses among us to this day.k NEW JERSEY AGRICULTURAL EX PERIMENT STATION. VII.

Last year we urged upon our readers the importance of setting these in the Fall ; another year's trial has the more fully convinced us of its importance. T.nst Fall we act out about two acres, hilling up the plants well when set, and the past Spring we set as many more. To-day those set in tho Fall are fully double tho size of those set in the ; Spring, while the failures to grow, will number four times as much in the Spring planting as those set in the Fall ; and beside*, there is *0 much more time in the Fall to do work than in the Spring. By sotting in the Fall, and a , small quantity of manure thrown over ! each hill, the sonkings from thia going | to the root* of the plants gives them ; the start the next flpflng, Cue imporI tant point in growing small fruits, for either family uMo or market, is to get all possible on the plant or vine the first year, for in proportion to their growth *0 will they yield.

Verbal Puzzles - Our method of concocting verbal poz tics consists in taking the let ten of a word, adding to or subtracting from them, and seeing in what way the meaning becomes changed thereby. Of this kind is the enigma ; "My first two i letters are a man, my first three a wo man, my first fouf a brave man my * whole a brave woman." This is a real ly excellent analysis of the literal constituent* of "heroine." The following example is attributed to Charles James Fox, and is without much difficulty seen to relate to "glass " What Is pretty und useful In various ways, Tho' 11 tempt* sum* poor mortals to abortoo their day* ; Take our letter from It. and there will appear What youngsters admire every day lu the year; Take two letters from It, and then, without doubt, You are what tliat is, if you don't And It out.4' Canning's enigma is very neat on the effect of adding the letter 44s" to the word "cares"— converting a plural into a singular, trouble/ into a pleasure. Here is an elegant trifle on the word "sigh *♦. It name, though I fetched It ; when come, It was gone ; It stayed but a moment— it could fx* stay j long; I ask not who sow It— It could not tx» seen ; And yet might be felt by a king or a quern.*' As a kiss is next door to a *igh, we append here a pretty triplet by 8ir Thomas Wyatt, dated as fur hack as the time of Henry VIII. s "A lady give me a gift she had not ; And I received her gift, which 1 took not ; ,jiCY* •' * »• • Itnyi 6 .

Many enigmas have been put forth with an announcement that tho author would give a prize of a sum of money to any person who would find out the correct holution. The following is said to have been written a few years ago by un Oxford University man in high j»o*ilion, who offered fifty |>ounds to any one who could guess it : "When from the Ark's capacious round The world came forth In pairs, Who was It that first heard the sound Of boots upon Hie stairs ?"

Brittlk Fixokr Naii.*. — If you wish to cure brittle finger nails, oil or greese them a little just before going to bed, and after every washing of the hands. Floor Paint. — For durable and cheap paint for house floors, dissolve one ounce of glue in a quart v>f warm water, and thicken it with paint. After putting this on, go over it with a coat of boiled linseed oil. It will dry und ready for use in two hours. Putting on Coal. — Wood has many advantages over coal for small tires in an up-*tnirs room, as it can be carried more readily, and causes little dirt and almost no- ashes, while the noise of feeding the j fire is avoided. The latter evil may be remedied, however, by putting the cosl on in paper bags such as urc used by all grocers.

To Rkmote Fkf it Stains, — To remove an apple stain on cloth : Dampen tho *l»ot* and hold them over a lighted ^ match ; the sulphur smoke will bleach it out. This will also remove apple and !>erry stains from the hands. Rei.ikf pop Frosted Fkkt. — For frosted feet, take pure flaxseed oil, bstne your feet, and heat in by the fire well before going to bed ; wrap some old cloths j around tho feet to keep the oil from nibbing off, and liatlie again in the morning. A few applications will remove all soreness and itching. Home-madk Ine. — Take half an ounce of extract of logwood and ten grains of ' bichromate of potash, and dissolve them j in s quart of rain water in a tattl* kejd j uncorked. The bottle should be per- ; feetly clean and free from any, other ink. Running the logwood in solution through a fine strainer will remove all sediment. How to Tend a Coal Fire. — Replenish a coal fire as soon, a* the <xv*1m begin to show ashes on the surface ; then put on merely enough to show a layer of black coal covering the red. This will soon kindle, and as there is not much of it, an excess of heat will be given out. A judge once intervened an odd way to prevent a waste of words — He w*s sitting in chamber*, and seeing from a pile of paper* in the lawyer's bands that a certain ease was likely to l»e a long one, he asked : "what is the i amount in question?" Two dollars, your honor" said the plaintiff* counsel, "111 pay it," said the judge handing over tha money. "Call the next case.''
