AT the conclusion OF the morning
business the senate resumed consider
alton Of the army bill.
MIR. Blaine, OF Maine, In charge Of
the bill, said the committee on appr0-
priations held u meeting this morn
Ing and came to the conclusion that II
would DO wise to unite In diem the
question with the reorganization OF

10 M TO provide for the appointment Of

OF the secretary, with the papers de,
scribed by said committee, and submit
said papers to examination Of said
committee from time to time accord
Ing to Its convenience.
A lengthy discussion ensued, several
senator's claiming that the proper way
would have been for the house OF
representatives to have requested the
senate to furnish the papers. Other
senators argued that the papers were
not In custody Of the senate by any
law; they were merely In possession of
the secretary according to usage since
the organization Of the government,
and therefore the committee had q
right to summons the secretary to pro-
duce all of them. Finally the order OF

PHOTOGRAPHIC STUD1Es.-Jenkin and EW-
ing have studied deliberately the form OF the
sound-tracings produced by Edlson's pho
norraph. With reference to the vowels,
these observers note that ii Il set OF vowel
sounds be spoken to the photograph, and
then it be made 10 speak at several differ
ent yclocitics Of rotation, no difference
can be detected in the quality OF the
sounds. This they regard as contra
dictory OF UelnboltZ's statement that
each vowel sound has 4 characteristic note
OF definite pitch. Moreover, they have OBJ
served that the wave form Of the markings
produced by any vowel sound does not
remain unchanged 1T all pitches; but
whether these changes are due to aitcra-
tions in the amplitudes OF the constitu-
ents or TO variations OF phase is not
determined. Subsequently, in paper be-
fore the Royal Society OF Edinburg, they
announced the curious fact that both
vowels and consonants are unaItcred by be-
ing spoken backward. Words such as ada,
aba, ala, etc, could be readily identified
whichever way the cylinder was turned,
even by persons ignorant OF what had been
said. Moreover, they find that ab said
backward becomes ba, thus proving
that reversible part really consti-
tutes Al clement OF speech. Thus put
ting the word noshGceoSs0 on the cyl
inder, and turning it backward, it repeats
association beautifully. Preece has de-
scribed two monographs made in England
from Edison's descriptions. In one OF these
the rotation was maintained Uniform by
means Of clock-work, thus maintaining the
identity OF the sounds; in the other the
receiving membrane was OF paper, and
seemed to be the loudcst.-Edlt0T'S Sclcd-
