THE LATEST INVENTION.

Edison is all very well in hia way, but the inventor that will bo remembered when all others are forgotten is a party named Mickley, of Boston, and who has just rendered hia fellowmen an inestimable service by producing an apparatus called the "Married Man's Indioator" or the patent " Domeßtic Barometer." Thio ingenious device is simply a won* derfully sensitive arrangement of the ordiu-

ary barometer, which infallibly detects tho mo 3fc minute alteratio n8 in the atmospheric conditions. The married man returning late from the alleged " lodge," or other locality contraband of war, indulges m no fearful speculations aa to his reception. He simply takes his "Indicator" from its case and inserts a projection arranged for the purpose through the keyhole. Instantly the domes« tic temperature within is recorded by the dial. If it marks S. F.-Set Fair, S. A.— Sound Asleep, or even 0. S. Cross, but Sleepy, he brings his propitiatory box of fried oysters well to the front, ohews a clove and enters boldly. If, however, the faithfullittlo instrument reoorta S. B.— Storm Brewing, or V. S. L.— Very Squally, with Lightning, he doeßn't waste- any valuable time in warfare, but hies him to the nearest hotel and sends an " up all night with a sick friend" note, with some matinee tickets and a new bonnet, home in the morning. Truly, if science keeps on in this way this world will become quite a comfortable place to live in after a while.
