Canned Goldfish Balls.

A very promising industry is grow
ing up at New York in the canning of
Goldfish balls. The persons engaged
in it experimental for several years
before they were able to put up the
combination of fish and potatoes so
that it would preserve its freshness
and flavor, but perseverance conquered,
and the product has met good demand.
The fish are carefully prepared for the
canning, and butter is used instead of
pork fat in making the mixture. Cod
fish balls have been held to be distinc-
lively New England dish, but these
canned ones are shipped to all parts of
the United States. and orders have been
received from abroad. Good House
keeping.

Sunlight for Farm Stock.

Those who believe in sunlight tor
domestic animals. as well as for hui
mans, will concur in what DIR. Rey-
nolds says on the subject. He thinks
the value of sunlight to farm stock is
not sufficiently appreciated. Barns
and stables might be so arranged as to
allow free access of sun to the farm
stock. The tie-up should always be
upon the sunny side of the barn, and
windows put in near to each other, so
that abundance of sunlight may be adj
mitted. During the pleasant days such
tie-ups would become warm and COM
Portable, serving to a considerable ex-
tent, for food. The colder it is the
more food will be required to keep the
animal warm and continue its growth.
If the sun keeps the barn warm part of
the time less food will be required to
maintain the animal temperature. Then
The effect of the sunlight itself is bene-
icial to the stock, making il more
lealthy and vigorous. Christian At
Work.

SAVING FOUR MEN.
The Heroic Deed of n Courageous al
Humane Young Miller.

The Heroic Deed of Courageous and
Humane Young Miller.
In February, about the year 184S,
there was a great ice freshet in the
Schuylkill river at Conshohocken, and
it was extremely dangerous for boats
to venture on the river. At that time
there was a store kept by Davis
Mccain. Four men slept in it. in
Guiding Mccain himself. Whils Qhey
were all sleeping the water rtBeE 0nd
washed away the store along WITH 1.-THE
occupants. The men finally managed
to get out of the building, and chung to
an old canal boat which had lodged in
the trees, and there they staid for
hours in the intense cold, calling for
help, but although many persons stood
on the bank, all were afraid to venture
out to save the men.
Benjamin Harry, who owned small
grist mill where the Albion Print
Works now stand, came upon the scene.
and as the other persons stood with
blanched faces, took small row-boat,
and in the darkness of the night and
the intensity of the cold. with nothing
to guide him but the cries of the men,
made four trips without any aid and
brought in the men one at time. Mr..
Harry said that the ice dashed against
the sides of his boat and threatened to
break it to pieces at any moment. The
men were helpless, as they were nearly
frozen through. They all finally re-
covered, but some of their fingers and
toes were amputated. Davis McCann
died few years since from gangrene
in his feet, brought on by the expert
ences of this terrible night. The hero,
Mr.. Benjamin Harry, died about one
and half years ago.
Any old resident of Conshohocken or
Spring Mill can vouch for the truth OF
the story.--Philadelphia Press.

Lamp chimneys should never be

Lamp chimneys should never be
washed in soapsuds or clear water. If
a cloth wet with alcohol were used for
this purpose, or what is much cheaper
and always at hand, kerosene oil, there
would be a perceptible falling off in
the manufacture and sale of lamp
chimneys. 1t is really surprising how
seldom chimneys will break and what
fine polish will be given them by
cleaning in kerosene or alcohol

RESPONSIVE VIBRATIONS.
Mysteries and Nature Explained by a Pro-
fessOr of Music.


| fessOr of Music.
Remembering the old story about the
fiddler who claimed he could fiddle
down a bridge, a reporter recently
| quiZzed professor of the musical art
concerning the matter Of responsive
vibrations. The teacher of music proved
to be no less acquainted with the sci
ence than with the art. The answers
to many questions, compiled, are as
! follows:
The pitch OF the tone either in sing
ing or playing depends, of course, upon
the number of vibrations in the vocal
chords or in the instrument played
upon. These vibrations are conveyed
to the molecules of the air which vibrate
in similar manner. If any resonant
object or substance be within reach of
the vibrations of the instrument or of
the secondary vibrations of the air,
that object or substance is also set in
motion. Any given elastic body can
| vibrate only at given rate, and if vi
bration of that rate reach it, the hereto
fore quiet substance also begins to vi
brate. If a violin is hung upon avail
near a piano and the violin strings
which are G, d, A and E in the scale
are tuned to the piano, then whenever
G. d, A and f are struck on the one
instrument the trings on the other will
vibrate similarly.
A note which sounds in response to
another is called an aliquot note. If
any note be sounded on the piano, it's
fifth, third and octave will also vibrate
in response. There are objects in al
most every room, some one of which
will respond to every note struck.
Glasses. lamp shades and globes, win
dows, metallic articles, respond most
readily to vibrations communicated to
them through the air. Carpets upon
the floors, curtains upon the walls, and
other non-resonant substances take
away and deaden the sound of musical
Instruments. The larger a room is,
the louder the sound produced in it,
air being highly elastic, and its multi
piled vibrations adding to the intensity
of the sound. In same room, on the
contrary, the sound is less in intensity.
If the keys of an octave on the piano
be held down so that the damper be
raised from the wires, and if chord
be struck in the octave above, it is easy
to detect that the corresponding strings
in the lower octave are sounding.
! The principle of the monograph was
discovered through the established
principle of responsive vibrations, the
vibrations of the voice being commune
Gated to needle which makes inden-
tations in metallic foil, corresponding
to the vibrations, and as the foil is
turned under the needle again, the
needle dancing back and forth in the
little indentations, reproduces the vi
brations first given to the foil.
! When asked if it was true that vibra-
tons from musical instruments some
times impair structures, the professor
of music laughed and said he thought
that impossible, and as to the story of
fiddling a bridge down, he thought
that absolutely impossible, although
there could be no doubt that vibra-
tions in the material of bridge might
be caused by very slight sound if
that sound be pitched properly
