While other nations are expanding

heavy iron-clads, aud without appa-

ion as to which is the more irreSisti-
BILE, shot or armor, we are wisely CIV
ing especial attention to studying
how they may best be destro yed, and
now that our naval Ulcers have be-
come so familiar with the man age
ment and the capabilities of the sub
marine torpedoes, we expect soon to
hear OF an aerial torpedo, which, pro-
PEELED by steam or compressed air or
after the manner of a rocket, may as
successfully attack the deck as the

Mr.. Edison, in his telephone and
monograph experiments, discovered
that the vibrations of the vocal cords
were capable of producing consider
able dynamic effect. Acting on this
hint he began experiments on a phono-
meter, or instrument for measuring
the mechanical force of sound waves
produced by the human voice. In the
course of these experiments he con-
structed the machine which exhibits
dynamic force of thGnyoice.
The "red flames Which appear on
the rim of thesu pisc during total

than among the older astronomers. be-
cause, according to 40 \. uii-knoWn
discovery of Messrs. Jansen and Lock-
yer, they can be made now visible at
any time without an eclipse by the
Spectroscope. They constitute, how
ever, beautiful addition to the
eclipse phenomena, and one point at
least may be noted during the totality
which the spectroscope alone could
not tell US Of that they are not all of
the rose red mentioned, but that occa-
sionally some of more nearly orange
hue have been seen, thus marking the
presence at great heights above the
sun of other substances than hydro
gen, to which the principal color is
due.
The majority of scientists who have
