Edison on Ihe Phouagrtipb. My phonograph will occupy about .as much space oa the merchant's desk, or, ut the side of the desk, as the type-writer does. It will work automatically by u small electric motor. Suppose the merchant wants to write a letter; he pulls the mouthpiece of the phonograph to him, starts the motor with a touch and says what he has to say in an ordinary tone of voice. When he is done he pulls out a little sheet and rolls it up for the mail. The recipient places this sheet in a similar phonograph,touches the motor spring and the instrument will at once read out the letter in atone more distinct, clearer, more characteristic of the voice of the writer than any telephone you or I ever heard. The phonograph voice is not a very loud voice, perhaps not more than twice as loud as the sound you get from a good telephone, and an earphone will be necessary. In aiming for loudness in the phonograph, I went astray in my first experiment; I should have tried for clearness. Of course there are no disturbances in the phonographic message such as those made by induction along a telephone wire, and na the apparatus will repeat the letter over again it is possible to understand every syllable, even in a noisy office. I have forty workmen employed in making the tools for the manufacture of tlie first lot of 500 phonographs. They will cost $60 apiece. Now for some speculation as as to what people may do with the phonograph. I am confident that it will be found in the office of every busy man, I am confident that the editor and reporter of the future will never think of losing time by writing with a pen or dictating to the stenographer when the printer can- set type better from the dictation of the phonograph than he can from eopy. I have already perfected an apparatus which allows the phonographic message to be given out in pieces of ten words each. The printer touches a pedal with his foot and the phonograph says ten words. If he sets the ten correctly, he touches the pedal again and gets ten words more. If he is in doubt he tries another pedal, which makes the phonograph repeat. In the future some method may be found of combining the phonograph and telephone— that is to say, the phonograph may be made so delicate as to take down the sound from a telephone and give it out again when wanted. As yet I have not attempted any such thing. The vibrations of the telephone diaphragm are too delicate for use in the phonograph. In business I think the phonograph will be used evorwhere. > Outside of business it is hard to say exactly to what uses it may be put. As it will record and repeat any kind of musical sound, and as the process of duplicating the phonogram, as I call my sheet of metal which has passed through the phonograph and become impressed with certain sounds, is very cheap, the phonogram copy of a lecture, a book, a piny, or an opera need cost but a trifle. For music I know you will simply laugh when I tell you what I have done with the two instruments that I have finished. I have got the playing instruments of an orchestra so perfectly that eaoh instrument can be heard distinct from the rest; you can even tell the difference between two pianos of different makes; you can tell thevoiceof onestranger from another; you can get it reproduction of an operatic scone in which tho orchestra, the choruses nud the soloists will be as distinct and as satisfactory as opera in this sort of mina- ture can ever be made. Opera by telephone has been done in Paris nnd London more or less successfully, but the phonograph will eclipse the telephone for this purpose beyond all comparison, and phonographic opera will cost nothing, because the phonogram can lie passed through the phonograph, if neeessary,a thousand times in succession, and once the machine is bought there is no other cost beyond the trifle for phonograms. For books the phonogram will come in tho shape of a long roll wound upon a roller. To make the first phonographic copy of a book some good reader must of course read it out to the instrument; once thnt is done, duplication to any number of thousand or million copies is a simple mechanical work,carry and cheap. Now just think a moment what that means, BY TELEGRAPH. Gnrvr Will Hi mm on Tliurnilny."KI.|. nun glMlir.ts Bcnwliall a t'ahr—A Jr.. Inns lliihbtimf Camnills Murder.

Job printing of all kinds neatly dew at the Columbian office. Prioe. will b. found u lew u at wt ettse tSat la tk. proviso. —Ait Sdilg $ritialt Columbian ■«Haj Evening, Kev. ns, ism. Our cotemporary of the News, in his patronising way, expresses pleasure at observing that the Columbian has been devoting attention to the possibility of prune culture in British Columbia, and assures us that the "doubt" we have with respect to the success of such an enterprise in this province is groundless. Since wc expressed no doubt at all on the subject, it was very good of our cotemporary to givo that assurance. On tho contrary, we stated that 11,000 prune trees wero ■et out in one county of Washington Territory this year, and that if prunes can be successfully grown there they can be grown successfully in British Columbia. The trustees of Vancouver public school are at loggerheads with their head teacher, and seem to have resolved to discharge him. The trouble grew out 0. a severe punishment administered by the teacher to one of his pupils who had been misbe- haring, and ..bo rebollod againot tho teacher's executive authority. This is the source of most of the disagreements which disturb the peace of our pnblic schools. The question of corporal punishment in public schools has occupied much attention among educationists, but thero is yet considerable difference of opinion as to whethor it should be resorted to or uot. It is evident that, if discipline is to be maintained at all, the teacher must have power to punish those who defy his government. For young children wo believe there is no better means of commanding obedience than the moral suasion of the rod. It should be applied only when absolutely necessary, but the {tower to apply it should be abso- utely in the hand of the teacher— otherwise he will find himself powerless against a spirit of rebellion. Corporal punishment ought never to be inflicted in anger, The Vancouver teacher is said to have got into a passion because of the conduct of the boy whom he thrashed. Ii this is true, he committed a grand mistake. Punishment indicted in anger partakes too much of revenge, and is sure to produce hatred and retaliation in the victim. It should be held aa the. vindication of the law simply, and as something that cannot be foregone without weakening the law and the stability of school government. Those who resort to the rod injudiciously and in anger are as far astray as those who ae elare for the abolition of corporal punishment entirely. An item appeared in tho Columbian of Saturday with reference to the association of highbinders existing among the Ohinese, and the difficulty of bringing to justice any person who ia under the protection of that organization. Singularly enough on the very same day a case cam* before the court at Victoria which shows not only the existence of such an association, but also reveals some of its methods. Lam Lop Fon, a Viotoria highbinder, was brought before the court on a charge of threatening'to murder Mr. Vroo- raau-Gardeiicr, the Ohinese interpreter in the customs house, because that gentleman had been interesting himself in rescuing young Ohinese girls from slavery and shame. It il well known that numbers of these girls are purchased in China and sent out to this country, and that they are kept in a state of perpetual slavery by tho persons to whom they are consigned. Several of these have been rescued by means of the philanthropic people of Victoria; and placed in the house of refuge, where they a:-e being taught and cared for. Mr. Vroomun- Oardener has interested himself in this work, in which his knowledge of tbe Chinese language and his experience with Ohinese customs have made him a most valuable assistant. For this " interference " of his, three members of the highbinder association signed a letter threatening him with death if he attempted again to interfere with their arrangements. It is for this threat that Fon is now called to account. The threatening letter was produced, and evidence heard, resulting in the prisoner being committed for trial at tho assize court. This is a case of more than ordinary interest. The existence of a secret organization of tire nature described is not in the interest of justice. Its purpose is to set at defiance the administration of law whenever it conflicts with the arrangement of its members, and there seems to be a determination that the most violent measures shall be resorted to, if necessary, when law standi in the way of the secret society. It is to be hoped some means may be found to teach tho highbinders that they cannot with impunity set up a society of their own in this country for the regulation of matters which fall within reach of our own laws, and they must particularly understand that we will not permit them to resort to auusinition for the accomplishment of their purposes.

Bon lire Custom First Originated—Fecn> linvltles ot Different People. "Did you ever consider how people first began to shnltr hands? No? Well, then, sit down horo nnd I'll" tell you what I think about it, ior I have given this. Rii'rject somo study," said a gontla- 1 man to a reporter. "My opinion is that / in air y nnrl linr'rriro is times, when / every hhv.tio nr SL'ini wage war his own ; law iv.T, jtidjr.'. soldier uud policeman, nn I hid tb water ov. r Iris own safety, in. default of nil oth •!■ iwitcrrtion, when two fr.Vnds or uequainr incur,ortwostrangers de.ririnffto ho ffr.i'-iih or acquaintances, whon tiny chanrrj., to :iuot, offered each to tho other th: r.jilit hand nllke of ofTeiwo and .dr'i'cn ru — the hand that wields the sword, iho dajpor, the club, the tomahawk or other weapon of war. Each did this to show that the hand was empty and that neither war nor troach-ry was InUmrled. A nnin cannot well stab another while hu is tihi'-iged in the aet of shaking hands with h.nr, unless he be a doulrlu-ilyod traitor rind villain and strives to aim a cowardly blow with tho left while givinj: thrr right nnd pretending to be on goo I term: wit'i liiin. "Did you over ohsm-e I hit tho ladles never skako bauds with tho cordiality of nion unless it bu with each other? Tho rcrrs.ru is o'vious. It is for thorn to receive homer: ■, no) to give it. Thoy cannot bo oxprfcu-d to s row to persons of tbo orher sex a warmth of grueling which might be nrisint'rpt'.ri -l unless such persons nro very closely rvlntedj; in which cases linritlsliakiu.' i' riot needed and the lips do more agre .ruhly duly. "Every man shakes lrtinds according to his nature, wart:: :>r it be timid or aggressive, proud or humble, courteous or churlish,1 vulgar or rclinod. There Is certainly a great rut in llrmilshaking, but I tell you the kin I of handshake I hato,' nnd that is onu of the wnnt I call tbo jolly gool fellow handshakes. Ono of those follows will grasp your hand, Biiuooze it until trio tears run down your check and then,' '■.s'n-z your arm in tho Kline maimer as a pniiiii handle, will go on slinking ull tlie trim IfJ is talking to you, letting it ns easy for' a moment or bo, with tho exccp.ion of a littlo spasmodic shako now an I ngai.r,only, however, to start it nfrcsir. Th.r lirst time you imagine he is doing it because he is extremely glad to sue you, but when you seo him manifest the same cordiality toward people whom bo met for the lirst time and toward those with whom lie has been Intimate for years you know ho is a humbug or is, at any rate, acting from habit. But oi all thu men to be avoided the man who squeezes your hand in nn excruciating ma.uir'r on a false pretense is the worst. He dislocates your joints to convince you that hu regards you highly, and as soon as you are out of sight forgets you or thinks that you are no. 'great shakes1 after all or, worse still, abuses you behind your bock. "Another and even more odioua Und of handshaker is he who offers you his hand, but will not permit you to get fair hold of it. To bo treated with cool contempt of supercilious scorn which such a mode of salutation implies is worse than not to bu saluted at nil. If hands are to be shaken let - it be done properly. Another species of handshaker I detest is the man who oilers vou one finger instead of five, as much aa to say, I am cither too preoccupied myself or think too little of you to givo you my whole hand. With such n man the interchange of any but the barest and scantiest courtesy is rendered dilllr'iilt by any one who has a particl" of self-f sport, "Yet nnothor objection iblc man is tho one that shoves out his left hand In greeting you. Thnt is discourteous, sometimes intentional and sometimes not, but it is nn act that no true gentleman would commit There is really no reason why it should be moro discourteous than to kiss the left cheek instead of the right, but doubtless the custom that makes the right hand imperative in all sincere salutations dates from those early times when handshaking first began, and the hand that shook or was ahaken in friendship was of necessity weaponless. The poor left hand that one would think ought to be of as much value and strength as the right, just as the left foot or leg is as strong as the right foot or leg, because they aro both used equal, has fallen into disrepute aa well as into comparative disuse, until it has become an accepted phrase to say of any proceedings that ia inauspicious, artful, sly or secretly malicious, that it ia 'sinister'—that it ia left handed. '' "I do not," he continued, "object to shake hands on certain occasions, bnt it is this perpetual 'shake, shake,' with everybody that I object to. It is pleas- nut to touch the hand of an honest man or woman, and to be on such terms of acquaintanceship with either of these masterpieces of creation as to justify you in the. thought that you are their equal. Even to grasp the paw of an intelligent dog, who holds it lip for you to shake on being asked to do so, is something pleas- ant. For the dog, unlike some men, would acorn to give his paw to one in whose eye and in whose face he, by hla fino instinct, in some reapept the equal if not the superior of reason, discovered treachery or evil. As I have said, it is the continued handskaking with Tom, Dick and Harry Wat ought to bt put» ■top to. ..) ., i m i.[ i.i i. "Copy" (rom the Telegraph Operator.

How ther Serve ln Mnny Ways as a Help and Protection. The surface of many plants is covered with hairs. These hairs are usually slender outgrowths of tho epidermal cells, and may consist of rows of cells placed end to ond. The end cell may bu sharp pointed or consist of a nearly spherical body. Many of tbe hairs branch so as to give tho plant a wooly or folt like covering. Some plants have stiff hairs with sharp, hooked points and these are easily broken off, after which an irritating fluid may How out. Of such are the hairs upon the nettles. Thu structureof tbe hairs upon plants Is so various that it is natural for any onu to inquiro as to the uso of these surface outgrowths. When we look' at tho buds which are formed in the autumn, and hnve the future young branches as their vital parts within, it is found that tho scales are thick and often covered with a dense growth of hairs. Over it all there may be a coat of varnish whicli serves to keep out the moisture. It iB not difficult to see that in such casus tho hairs serve as a protection. In short they help to keep the young inclosed tender parts from without, in much the same way that the hair upon the animal bodies is a protection against cold and other external trying circumstances. In like manner the hairiness of ordinary leaves and stems may aid in protecting the plants that bear them. These hairs form a layer through whicli tho liquids of the plants do not readily pass. This may be of great advantage, and it is a matter of general observation that plants which are at home in an arid situation most abound in hairiness. Thus the grasoss and even shrubs of the dry plains of this country are characteristically light colored, due to the multitude of hairs that cover the surface. This rule is so well observed that an expert may easily claim the ability to determine the natural habitat of a plant by noting the nature of its epidermis. It is true that the hairy covering may serve to protect the plant from animals which would otherwise feed upon, and possibly destroy it. Iu such coses the hail's are often large and stiff, and become disagreeable to the palate of tho animal. But, however this may bo, tho chief uses of the hairs of the arrial parts of plants Is to mitigate the sudden changes of temperature, and act as a check to rapid transpiration of moisture. Whon we go below the surface of tho soil the plan changes, and then the plants aro provided with Dans for the purpose of increasing the absorbing surface exposed to tho food-bearing particles of soil. These root hairs, as they are termed, aro most abundant upon the young fibrils, and therefore are located wliere tho surrounding circumstances are most favorable for the rapid taking up and quick transmission of the soil water. Hairs servu many special purposes, as for example In the flowers, where they may form structures which materially aid in the cross-fertilization of plants through the visitation of insects. Hints on Swimming. It is a trite bit of advice that everybody who doesn't know how to swim should learn, but the advico is worth being insisted on. The school children of Loudon are taught to swim, one afternoon in each week being devoted to that purpose, and the art should be a feature of our schools; but for those persons who cannot swim and will not make tbe effort to learn, a few bintson the subject from un exchange may prove of extreme value, especially in this season of rowing, sailing, fishing and bathing: It is, unfortunately, not generally known that a finger laid upon an oar, or the gunwbale of an overturning boat, or a board, or almost any floating object, will sustain the human body in calm water, Persons who have been properly taught, and have acquired the habit of acting with self-possession in the water when they are upset, do not attempt to climb upon the overturned boat, but simply take hold of it aud quietly support themselves. A boat half-tilled witii water, or completely overturned, will support as many persons as can get their hands upon the gunwale if they behave quietly. HemlvaA at (he Dead-Letter omce.

The final arrangements, even to the making of Ihe haggis, are complete and it will be a braw nicht amang the cbiels. The Colonist circulates a rumor to the effect that Mr. Stenhouso is not going to leave the province after all, . and that hia story about his joining the Mormons was only a stratagem by which it wu (ought to secure the seat for Mr. Humphreys. It ia scarcely possible to accept the Colonist's rumor. The customs officers at Victoria searched the str. Abyssinia mi Saturday and discovered about 20,000 cigars and a quantity of Chinese wine which the Ohinese crew proposed to smuggle ashore. The search wss made un tho suggestion of the captain of the steamer, who suspected the intentions of his craw. The articles were confiscated.

The lost report of the U. S. commission of education, published recently at Washington, has the following. "The commissioner is much interested in the removal of Mr. Duncan's colony of Indians from Metlakahtla, in British Columbia, to Port Chester, in Alaska, and recommends the colony to the protection and care of the United States authorities. These people are educated and self-sustaining, and their removal to the United States may be regarded as a very great acquisition." An appropriation of $50,000 is asked for the organization of schools in Alaska.—Colonist. tht Coming Event. Preparations for the governor's ball are progressing steadily and satisfactorily. The arrangements for decorating the opera house have been completed, and the committee, we under stand, will be greatly indebted to the ladies for the assistance they have eo kindly offered. It is now settled beyond doubt that Herring's new opera house will be in readiness for the occasion, and the committee are under deep obligations to Mr. A. M.

From outside sources wo loam that many people frimi Victoria and Vancouver have signified thoir intention of being present at the ball. ,' The CUntfjH Blnltt*. This morning about C o'clock the steamer Gladys while lying at her wharf keeled over and sank. The only persons on board at the time were the deck-hands and a Chinese cook, and they had just time ennugh to jump ashore in order lo lave a wetting. The cook was getting breakfast reidy at the time the steamer sank, and up to the moment she began to sway from one side to the other, there was no intimation that anything unusual was wrong. Wheu the accident was reported to Mr. Townsend he im - mediately telegraphed to tho government agent, at Victoria for permission to allow the Snogboit Samson to assist in raising the Gladys. Iu tho course of a couple of hours a tolegram arrived, giving permission, and Capt. Grunt took the Samson to the wreck and commenced operations. From the pOHsiliun the steamer lies in, it is impossible to determine^he cause of the disaster, hut the general opinion is she sprung a leak or started a plank and went down almost immediately afterwards. On Harrison river yesterday morning the Gladys cut hor way through ice,an inch thick, for some little distance, which may have been the ultimate came of the sinking. Up to the time of going to press tho efforts to raise her had not been successful, but it ia expected she will be beached safely to-morrow. m ^ ">■■ A Ban Treat.
