eltorl " hich is now being made TO
cope with This dread disease. The
questions as to its cOnta2iOuSne~S and
heredity are being Systematically
| studied in Austria, as well as in Ger
many and England. A circular has
been sent to S,000physicians of Austria

All interesting acoustic apparatus,

was shown at the Munich electrical
exhibition. The instrument consists
of a lin disk fixed at the bottom OF a
hollow cone, and having above it an
| electromagnetic, and beneath it a mer-
curry cup into which dips a natalie
| point. When the electric current
| passes, tie eiectro-magnet attracts
| the disk and breaks tie contact with
the IN rrury, the current ceases 70
pass, and The contact is restored, SO
| that the disk is set in rapid N ,tion,
and may make from 400 to 40
vibrations per second. An intense
sound is produced, which it is thought
may be made sufficiently loud to serve
a. fogsignal.
