New French Microphone. - A new microphone is being exhibited before the French Academy of Sciences. It detects at a great distance the ap proach of a ship, whether an armored vessel or a torpedo boat, and gives its warning with great clearness. It is to be subjected to tests at Cherbourg. Some years ago Commandor Banare proposed an instiuinent which he called a hydrophone and by which ho was able to hear at a distance of a mile or a mile and a half vibrations produced by a sorow of a torpodo boat, or the more regular beat of the sorew of a large bat tleship. It consisted of a water-tight box, tho vibratory plate being ; inside to prevent the pressure of the water from acting upon it too directly. The wires from the transmitter wereoarried first to a float to make sure the trans-, mitter would bo continually immersed; from the float the wires were caried to a receiver on a ship or on the shore. Thus with two or three miles of wire it becomes, possible to receive warning of the approacli of a vessel from four to five miles distant. ' Steel Sleepers In Switzerland. The St. Qothard Railway Company, in Switzerland and ' Italy report -very satisfactory results from the use of steel sloopers on their lines. In 1882, whon the road was opened, it was laid with wood sleepers, but as these have had to be replaced, it has been - done with steel instead, and at the present time 70 per cent of the road is laid on eteol ties. The sleepers wolgh : 163 pounds each, are 8.85 "feet long. The cost, when new, "with attachments, is $1.95, which, allowing for the value of the old material and the cost of laying, is reduced to fl.ta per sleeper, whioh is a saving of 7 per cent over wood sleepers. The line is a heavy one, and the trains are hauled at express speed. The engines weigh 100 tons each. The cost of steel ties In the end is lesB than that of wood. In tunnols, wooden ties are preferred, as they are not liable to rust, but in other places the deteriora tion due to rust is absolutely insignifi cant. . .

At 6:80 o'clock this morning, at the quiet Me harry homestead, where he was taken immediately after his sudden afflic tion, ex-Governor Claude Matthews passed away peacefully, surrounded by his wife and all tbo other members of his immediate "family. There was a prayer servioe, accompanied ' by ' tho singing of hymns, at the bedside of the dying ex-governor.

'; Tho three physicians regarded this as'miraculpus, as all agreed that the particular braia affected , by' paralysis was that governing tho speech, and the governor would have probably never talked had lie lived. It was the only word ho spoke aftor ho was stiicken. He immediately lapsed into a profound coma, from which lie did not rocover. SICKNESS IN THE " ARMY.

When 17 years old he hurt his shoulder and a few years after com menced to have rheumatic pains in it. On taking a slight cold or the the least strain, sometimes without any appar ent oause whatever, the trouble would start and he would suffer the most excruciating pains. He suffered for over 80 years, and the last decade has suffered so muoh that he was unable to do any work. To this the frequent occurrences of dizzy spells were added, making him almost helpless invalid. In all Borts of Weather. .

A number of readers are curious to know what is meant by the frequent reference to the fear of a Carlist up. rising" .. in . Spain. At the death of King Ferdinand of Spain, in 1888. his 8-year-old daughter, Isabella IL, suc ceeded to the throne, though. Carlos, Ferdinand's brother, claimed to be en titled to the honor nnder the salio law, whioh provided that no female should go to the throne as long, as any male descendant of the King was living. This law. however, had been revoked by Ferdinand, who had no children at the time, but six months after his death a daughter was born, and she became queen to the exclusion of Carlos. The latter's descendants, who are called Carlists, have since persistently insist ed that, by right of succession, the throne, belongs to them, and for over 50 years Spain has been subject to Car list uprisings, which have simply meant a number of unsuccessful wars, the de struction of property, and general pub lie unrest. The Carlists have found their strength in what are called the Basque provinces, dominated mostly by the clergy, who believe in the divine right of kings and of kingly succes sion. ' The inhabitants of the Basque region are largely shepherds and farm ers. They are good fighters, and have been the main strength of the Carlist iforoes. A strong sentiment in favor of a republic exists in the cities, where the people have been led to independ ent views by education; reading and travel. It is unnecessary to say that be tween what are called the Republicans and the Carlists there is a strong anti pathy, for thoir aims are radically dif ferent. In 1873 Spain was a republic, and the people owe to that brief period of popular government many of the lib erties whioh they now enjoy. Les lie's Weekly. . ' HAS MOT SLEPT FOR FIVE TEARS. .

Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in flamed you have a rumbling sound or Imper fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflamma tion can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out ol ten arecauBOdby catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
