LliHITKD.\nA MACHINE THAT TALKS.\niBsjenlona Invention of ss Vrc-eksaalsi\nHs_ Lips nnd Teeth,\nA talking machine tbat ha* created\ndo little sensation ls that jnst produced by Dr. R, Murage, a well known\nmember of the French Academy of\nMedicine. It 1* an interesting device,\nWhich reproduces with perfect accuracy\nthe sounds of the human voice, nqt, as\nIn the case of the phonograph, by merely repeating words spoken by persons,\nbnt by a process which ls purely mechanical from start to finish and In\nwhich no word is spoken by any human being. The sounds are produced\nby a system of vibration, says the London Sketch. Attached to the machine\nls a series of plaster heads, five in all,\nrepresenting the five vowels, a, e, 1,\no, u. They are each a perfect model\nof a person's mouth, fitted witb pliable\nlips and perfect teeth. Air currents'\nset in motion by the machine are made\nto pass through the dummy mouths,\nwhich are fitted with sirens.\nThrough his invention Dr. Marage\nhas discovered that tbe steam slreus\nused on board ships can be bo constructed as to Imitate certain sounds.\nThus different phonetic syllables may\nbe obtained which could be used to\nform an International alphabet. By\nan ingenious contrivance attached to\nthis wonderful instrument it is possible\nto see' reflected in a tiny mirror the\nvocal chords of a singer. ,\nBy the same device one can also\ntrace their action and see how, as the\nnote gets higher, the aperture between\nthem becomes less und less, until when\nthe top note is readied It Is almost\nclosed. As Ihe force of air current expelled becomes stronger the opening\ndecreases in size. It increases us tbe\nforce becomes less. The smaller tbe\naperture the greater the vibration.\nThis is how human beings get their\nsinging voices. \"There is. no mystery\nabout It,\" declares Dr. Marage. \"It 1*\na purely mechanical process, based on\nknown laws of higher mechanics.\"\nThe   New   British   Ambassador.\nSir Mortimer Duranil. the new ambassador to Washington, lias always\nbeen my beau ideal of an English gentleman and diplomatist, without fear\nand without reproach. Sir Mortimer is\na tall, handsome man of superb physique nnd with the bearing of a well set\nup soldier. It has been said that he Is\none of the few men Who cun wear the\ndiplomatic uniform without looking\nridiculous in lt. With strangers he bus\na grave, dignified and very polite,\nthough somewhat distant, manner, but\nIn reality he possesses a most genial\ndisposition and is gentle and tender\nhearted as a woman. I have often\nthought be assumed this rather\nhaughty demeanor in order to protect\nhis too vulnerable good nature from\nbeing constantly assailed. In any case,\nlt stood him In good stead in his relations with orientals of the first rank,\nwho despise levity of manner in high\nofficials. Sir Mortimer loveB sport and\noutdoor exercise, but when be has Important work In hand will devote himself to it for fifteen hours a day, if\nnecessary, and for weeks together.\u2014\nLondon M. A.

Collector..\nThe Parisian ragpicker is a well\nknown character to all wbo have traversed tho streets of that capital at\nnight, but he has a colleague concerning whom little is said or known\u2014the\ndead dog and old cork collector. Why\nthese two industries should go together\nIs Inexplicable even to the men themselves, but such is the case. Dead dogs\nare by no means bad property. Tho\nskin fetches from twopence to threepence when It has not become deteriorated by long residence In the water,\nthe fat is worth fivepence per two and\none-third pounds, aud the bones also\nsell for a trifle. The corks are by no\nmeans so valuable, as after they have\nbeen cleaned und pared they only sell\nfor iivepence a hundred. The profession is ouly sufficiently lucrative to\nmaintain a few members, 2 francs a\nday being the nverage gain, who reside\nfor the most part in that chiffonier\nquarter, the Hue Petit, Cite Philippe-\nGolden Penny.\nHow   Cllmnte  Affect*  llnllvond..\nThere are three great railroad lines\nthat show the climatic problems that\nengineers have lo solve in building\u2014\ntlie new tninscanada road, traversing\nhig.'.i northern latitudes; the trunsaus-\ntralla road, running through an arid\nregion, and the Uganda road, which\ntraverses a tropical country. In high\nlatitudes many difficulties bave to be\novercome, among them being the effects of mountain sickness on the workmen. In rainy regions floods and landslides must be provided against, and\nthe early decay of ties, sleepers and\nbridge material. In dry countries it ls\nnecessary to provide water, to guard\nagainst fire, against sand storms and\nagainst many other things that the\npassengers, riding in the luxurious curs,\nnever think of.\nLiquid.
