American Sympathy.

“The good wishes ef the American people are heartily on the side of Russia in the impending conflict,’ says the New York Herald, with a degree of confidence quite assuring to those who really sympathize with her. But the American people is a numer- ous body, of which a very large part has never forgotten that England is the mother country, and would turn against her with the greatest reluctance. There are strong ties ina common language and literature and inherited affections would alse con- tribuie to make it impossible in any event fer the American people to throw their syim- pathies against her in such a war as appears napending. — Boston Advertiser.

Outrage by an American Schooner,

At the Magdalen Islands last weck, sein- ing herring having proved a comparative failure, the captain of an American schoon- er persuaded a number of the inhabitants to place their nets, promising to purchase for bait whatever quantity of herring might be taken. The people did so im good faith. Next morning, on going to the place where they had laid their nets, they found they had disappeared, while the schooner, the captain of which had induced them to set their nets, was seen in the offing making her way to sea, having taken her departure at an early hour, leavingaio0 doubt that her crew had perpetrated the dastardly outrage —robbing the poor people of the proceeds of their labor and of their nets as well, which latter isa very serious loss to them. Theo consequence is, that the simple-minded people refuse io set their nets to take bait for anybody, fearing they will lose them as well as the proceeds of their labor.—-H», Chronicle.

Harthquake.

New York, May 20.—Details of the earthquake in Venezuela, April 12th, which destroyed the town of Lena, state that about nine in the evening, without any warning, all the houses fell at once. The great church was seen to lift itself im the air and then fell with a tremendous crash. Fire kindled among the ruins and com- pleted the wreck of the town and consumed many of the crushed and wounded bodies. In some families as many as 10 lives were lost. One of the victims was a bride, mar- ried that day. Over 300 lives were lost there. The shock was felt at Caracas, where all the bells rang and where many of the churches suffered to some extent, but no lives were lost. The streets were filled with the people shrieking ‘‘Misericor- dia” and calling on the Saints for help. The shocks were repeated from time to time and continued up to May 3rd. The destruction of sugar mills and other pro- perty is immense.

Reform Economies. (?)

The Toronto Mail puts the matter very tersely. Mr. Cartwright’s regular estimates for 1877-78 were $23,378,000 ; his supple- mentary estimates, brought down in the last days of the session, $2,825,000 ; total for 1877-78, $26,203,000. For 1878-79 his regular estimates are $23,440,000, which he increased by supplementaries $664,000. What the total expenditure for 1878-79 will amount to before he gets through remains to be seen. The expenditure table is now as follows :

1872-3 $22,500,000 1873-4 23,316,000 1874-5 23,713,000 1875-6 24,488,000 1876-7 23,587,900 1877-8 27,203,500

As between the last year of the Macdon- ald regime and the current year, there is a difference in the expenditure of $3,700,000 —a pretty big balance against the Economy party.

The present Government have been col- lecting and spending the revenue for several

years. This is how they did it :- Cost of collecting revenue in 1873, 3567, 765 do. do. in 1874, 6538, 299 do. do. in 1876, 721,604 increase in 1877 over 1873, 153,839 Increase over 1874, 63,305

The New Arctic Expedition. The new Arctic expedition in search of relics of Sir John Franklin will leave New York some time between the Ist and 10th of June. ‘The exploring party will consist of thirteen men, with Lieutenant Schwatka, of the Third United States Cavalry, as com- mander, and Captain Thomas F. Barry as navigating officer. The schooner Eothen, of one hundred and two tons burden, has been furnished for the expedition and is now on the dry dock. It will be remembered that Captain Barry, while in Repulse Bay in 1872, on board the barque Leisure, was visited by two Esquimaux, who gave him five spoons which they had found, all of which bore the creat of Sir John F i

.

ee ee ee

; Moses H. Grinnell these spoons were

ven to Lady Franklin. In 1876 Captain

was againin Repulse Bay and was visited by another party of Esquimaux, who. gave him another spoon marked with the Frank- lin crest, and said that in the cairn from which they took it, about seven hundred

‘niles distant, there were various other

things, including books. The latter are supposed to be records of Sir John Frank- lin’s expedition, On Capt. Barry’s return the spoon was given to Mr. Morison, who then conferred with Chief Justic Daly, president of the American Geographical So- ciety in regard to making a_ search for the other relies. It was determined to inake such an expedition,and Lieutenant Schwatka having applied for the charge of it, leave of absence for the purpose was given to him by the U. S. War Department, at Judge Daly’s request. It is supposed that the expense of the expedition, fora period of about two years and a half, will be about $10,000. The cost will be defrayed partly by the American Geographical Society, and and partly by private subscription, Morison & Brown contributing the vessel free. “The latter will be provisioned at the start for the voyage to Repulse Bay only. > —_ - The Phonograph.

“his imstrument, the latest and perhaps the most startling invention or discovery in the registration of sounds, is the natura- sequel to the telephone, and, like it, is rel markable for its simplicity, #The sewing machine and kindred inventions are infi- nitely more complicated, and frequired far more thought, experiment and time to perfect them. We would be quite prepared to learn that the idea of the pho ph for the registration of sound-waves scame to the brain of the inventor like a flash. indeed it is said that a working model of the machine was*made within {twenty-four hours, imperfect, perhaps, but sufficiently successful to warrant the announcement of anew and valuable discovery. The Pho- graph, unlike its predecessors,the Telphone, is a purely mechanical contrivance; elec- tricity playing no part in its operations. To those familiar with the latter machine a short deseription would suftice to explain the former.

It may not be unwelcome however, to describe the earliest form of the Phono-

‘aph somewhat in detail. First, as in the Telephone, we have a disc or diaphragm of thin sheet iron, with a mouthpiece in front to direct the speaker’s voice upon it. This disc has a fine steel point behind it, pre- truding a short distance from its centre. In front of this point is a cylinder, with a handle attached, so that it may be re- volved at pleasure. The cylinder is mount- ed on an axis, having a minute thread, so that it will advance from right to left or vice versa, aceording to the direction in which the handle is turned. The face of the cylinder has a also a minute thread en- graved upon it ; and, lastly, the cylinder is covered with a sheet. of thin tin foil. ‘The action of the whole is as follows: a person talks into the mouthpiece, and at the same time revolves the cylinder ; the dise vibrates and the steel point presses the tin foil into the thread on the cylinder, making , corres- ponding indentations, some deeper, some shallower, some closer. some farther t according to the tone of the voice. If one will now screw the cylinder back to the starting point, where the person began to speak, and letting the point of the dise rest on the tin foil, will turn the cylinder again without speaking into it, it is obvious that the steel point of the dise will follow the indentions previously made by it, and the dise will therefore vibrate exactly as it did when the person spoke into the mouth- piece, reproducing audibly precisely: the same sounds and uttering them by the mouthpiece. The perfected cylinder will of course be moved by clock work to’ en- sure regularity of motion, which is very essential, otherwise the sounds would be jerked out and the effect marred. -The cylinder has already been superseded by a fiat plate operated by clock work under- neath ; the plate is about 10 inches in diameter, and it is estimated that nearly 40,000 words can be indented upon it. :

‘The inventor, Mr. Edison, claims, in a paper in the North American ‘‘ Review’ for May, the following five uses of the Pho- nograph as being already practically demon- strated, besides a number of others, which will probably be hereafter realized —1. ‘The captivity of all manner of sound-waves heretofore designated as ‘‘ fugitive,” and their permanent retention. 2. Their re- production with all their original character- istics, at will, without the presence or con. sent of the original source, and after the lapse of any period oftime. 3.—The trans- mission of such captive sounds, through the ordinary channels of ¢dém- mercial intercourse and trade in material form. 4.—-Indefinite multiplication and preservation of such sounds without regard to the existence or non-existence of the original source. 5.~—-The captivation® of sounds, with or without the knowledge or consent of the source of their origin.

The inventor claims that the uses of the Phonograph are almost infinite. The fore- going tive points, however, are enough to set the one at work in all -di ; Among other thi it is claimed Phonograph wil’ peitees the Telenh - and revolutionize vresent systems of tele. graphy. ‘The mventor is probably over sanguine as to results, as inventors often are; but it seems certain that the Phonc- graph will rank high among the useful dis- coveries of the nineteenth centurv,— Mone. tary Times, :
