Transmission of Sound by Wooden
Rods.

interesting modification of Wheat
stones celebrated experiment of the
Telephodic Concert was recently tried
at the Central High School Of Phila-
delphia. A rod of English deal, about
20 feet in length and three-quarters of
an inch thick, was let down through a
platform into the room below. Insu-.
lation from the platform and the cell
ing of the lower room was obtained by
inclosing the rod with small sections of
thick rubber hose. Against the lower
end of the rod the soundingbox of a
small tuning fork was placed. On
speaking or singing into the open end
of this the sounds were transmitted by
the rod to the room above, the volume
of the sound being increased by placing
a guitar on the upper end of the rod.
The experiment is exceedingly inter-
esting and striking. Although the in
terval between the notes is perfectly
preserved, their intensity and quality
are changed very decidedly, the effect
being similar to that produced by VEN
triloquism. AS the position of the rod
is immaterial, striking effects can be
produced as though by ventriloquism.
A small figure placed on the end of the
rod or on the sounding box adds greatly
to the effect. A song is transmitted in
a very amusing manner. AS it is pre-
ferable to have the sounding box held
so that the pulses should impip ge in
the direction of the length of the rod,
the experimenter in the room beneath
rested, for convenience, on settee.
This mode of transmission of sound
does not, of course, give as good results
as by means of hollow tubes, as the
transmitted sound cannot be heard at
as great distance. 1t is interesting,
however, from it's novelty.

Manufacture of Teeth.

A recent computation states the
number of artificial teeth made yearly
in the United States at three million.
This number represents, we may sup
pose. al least fifteen million toothaches.
Mineral teeth are now chiefly made,
proving more serviceable than any other.
Their ingredients are feldspar, silica,
and clay, with few metallic oxides to
produce the natural tints of discolora-
ton. These substances are ground to
an impalpable powder under water, and
then made into paste. The teeth are
cast in brass molds. The paste which
forms the enamel of the tooth is first
introduced, then the platinum rivets,
and lastly the paste which forms the
body of the tooth. Next ensue power
full pressure, drying, trimming, and
enameling, with a wash of ingredients
more fusible than those of the tooth.
Then the GUNNER applies a gum of
oxide of gold and other ingredients.
Finally the tooth goes into muffie, or
enameler's oven, where it is placed on a
layer of crushed quartz strewed over a
slab of fre-resisting clay. After ex-
posture to an intense heat the tooth is
taken out and cooled, henceforth to re-
main "beautiful forever" and perhaps to
be the despair of some future geologist
who may discover it among the remains
of the nineteenth century. II
CURIOUS INSECT FREAK.-On the
authority of two persons of veracity, a
correspondent OF the Albany Journal
tells this: "They saw wasp riding on
a green worm one and half inches
long. How far he had ridden they did
not know; but after they saw him, they
watched him until he had ridden all of
twenty-five feet. Occasionally the worm
would stop, lie motionless as though he
was dead, when the wasp, after little
would spur him up, and then the worm
would go on. The wasp would keep the
worm in as direct course as he could.
After while the worm stopped, and
the wasp dismounted and quickly ran
and removed little stone or piece of
ground about two inches from where
the worm lay, and then Selling the
worm by the head drew it into the hole,
Presently the wasp came out, put on
the gravel top oyer the hole, covered
the stone over and seemed ready to fly,
when they killed him, and then dug
down about two inches and dug out the
worm, which was dead"

Dexter-BOnner,s Offer.

Robert Bonner, of the New York Ledger,
has published the following card:
have observed in the papers paragraph
stating that certain citizens of Milwaukee
offer to make bet of $4,000 if Dexter will
trot on their course. This proposition is
absurd on its face, as everybody knows I
never allow my horses to trot for money
out even if were disposed to trot for
money, L certainly would not do it on
track like the. Milwaukee track, where a
quarter of mile is out of sight of the
judges You might as well talk about trot-,
ting horse on pitch-dark. night, where
nobody could see whether he ran or trotted.
But while do not bet, am ready, as have
previously offered, to pay $4,000 for the
mere privilege of seeing any horse equal
Dexter's last great performance, when he
trotted mile to road wagon in 2:2l4.
Another absurd report is the one that
Dexter was recently beaten on Harlem Lane
one Sunday morning. In the first place, !
never drive or even travel on Sunday, and
Dexter never was on Harlem Lane in his
life on Sunday. Moreover, he never was
beaten on Harlem Lane any day. Who
speaks next? ROBERT BONNER.
