Photographs of Cannon Balls.

The we'll known photographer, An.
schuetz, of LISA, has for some years
been experimenting with photographs
of the flight of cannon balls from the
moment of their projection to their
striking the target or object aimed at.
Last month, on the trying grounds Of
the Gruson works, near Buckau, he
has demonstrated the perfection of his
studies. He succeeded in obtaining
remarkable and highly interesting re-
suits. His plates were submitted to
the expert, Professor DR.. Koenig, of
the Berlin university, who was per-
fectly able to make therefrom the de-
sired practical calculations. He estab-
lished the fact that the projectile thus
photographed had a velocity of 400
meters a second, and that the duration
of the light thrown on the photo
graphic plate did not exceed the ten
thousandth part of second.-oaris

The Eitfel tower is ascending rapid

gigantic cranes, some blowing into a
fierce blaze the furnaces in which they
heat their bolts and other fastenings,
while on all the four sides of the

Sorting Colored Woods Blindfolded.

Your reviewer considers that the
experiments of Professor Fontan, in
which an hypnotic subject sorted col

eyes were completely covered, are
simply incredible. 1t is true that they

instance can produce scarcely any eff

The Organ Boy Must Go.

For some years the office, preroga-
tives and perquisites of the boy who
blows the organ have been invaded by
water power. But that industrious
youth has now q new and puissant
rival in electricity. Experiments have
recently been made which show that
this accommodating energy has no OBJ
lection to working ON Sundays, and
that it will undertake not to drop off
in a nap in the dullest sermon or to
surrender from exhaustion when all
the stops are pulled out for "Old Hun
dred." We are sincerely sorry for the
small boy who blows the organ, but
we fear he will have to go. Science
is too strong and subtle for him, and
he will now have to earn his circus
money out of church. York
