The Sound of LIGHT,

One of the most wonderful discover
les in science that have been made
within the last year or two is the fact
that beam of light produces sound,
says the american Art Journal. A
beam of sunlight is thrown through a
lens on glass vessel that contains
lampback, colored silk or worsted, or
other substances. A disk having Sits
or openings cut in it is made to revolve
swiftly in this beam of light, so as to
cut it up, thus making alternate flashes
of light and shadow. On putting the
ear to the glass vessel strange sounds
are heard so long as the flashing beam
is falling on the vessel.
Recently more wonderful discovery
has been made. A beam of sunlight
is made to pass through prism, so as
to produce what is called the solar
spectrum or. rainbow. The disk is
turned, and the colored light of the
rainbow is made to break through it.
Now, place the ear to the vessel con-
tanning the silk, wool, or other mate
rial. AS the colored lights of the spec
trum fall upon it sounds will be given
by different parts of the spectrum, and
there will be silence in other parts.
For instance, if the vessel contains
red worsted and the green light flashes
upon it loud sounds will be given.
Only feeble sounds will be heard when
the red and blue parts of the rainbow
fall upon the vessel, and other colors
make no sound at all. Green silk gives
sound best in red light. Every kind
of material gives more or less sound in
different colors, and utters no sound in
others. The discovery is a strange one,
and it is thought that more wonderful
things will come from it.

Michigan is the fifth state in which the
farmers have deserted their old political
parties and formed new one on their own
account, with ticket regularly in the field.
Tie platform of the Michigan Farmers
alliance party embodies the radical changes
proposed by that body elsewhere, among
other measures the abolition of national
banks and the issuance of currency by gov
eminent, which is also to take control of
railroads and telegraphs. The unlimited
coinage of silver is demanded. The most
sweeping measure of all, however, is the
resolution demanding that both the presi-
dent and the senators shall be elected by
direct vote of the people. Republican.

am moved to wonder why have been
accorded such unusual success, when
many writers who far excel me as poets
and artists have failed to win recogni-
ton or remuneration. think it must
be due to the fact that l threw into my
work great deal Of the extreme vitality
with which was endowed. 1t touched
the public like an electric wave and
brought my verses into immediate
notice.
Yet shall be forgotten while more
careful and conscientious artists live In
the memory of the world. While I
realize all my shortcomings, l do not
see how I could have done differently in
the past performed the duty nearest
me as we'll as / knew how to do.
Sweeter than fame, which is, like ST.
Johns little book, only sweet in the
mouth, is to me the consciousness that
/ have been of practical assistance to
those dear to me. / heard recently that
Mr.. Edmund Clarence Stedman honored
me by the remark that he wished he
could have had the literary training Of
me from my 18th year; he would have
made better poet of me. l believe
this to be true. He would have taught
me that the manner of expression is as
worthy of consideration rs the thought
to be expressed-a fact I was sadly
tardy in discovering. He would have
caused me to contribute moro to art,
but fear, less to duty, than I have
done. I should have been better poet,
but less useful fnancier and citizen.

critics, but less gratefully by those to
whom owe my existence.

ADJUSTMENTS.

AS usual, full and enthusiastic house
greeted ''The Mikado," presented for
the first time at the Harris 'theater last
night. Gilbert and Sullivan's opera is
so we'll known that Judgment must be
entirely directed upon the performance
of the Japanese lyric by the Wilburs.
A feature that is at once a relief and
delight to the Harris habitue is the new
stage dress, an entire new set
ting painted especially for "The
Mikado'' by Fred Powers and
w. K, Brown, the latter gentlemen the
stage mechanic of the Iheater. Inc
scenes are artistic, we'll executed, and
genius of Messrs. Powers and Brown.
The costuming of the chorus is rich.
varied and Orientally picturesque. The
textures are good, and again one must
bow to Miss Kirwin's taste and skill i'll
needlework. Male voices have been
added to the chorus, and the suggestion
made by us some time ago. that "chorus
stuffing" was surely needed. seems to
have been acted upon with good results.
The new baSSOS are beautiful singers,
and may be adapted to good advantage.
The ''MikadO" was rendered i'll a spirit
which thrills. The music, so odd and
gruesome in parts, was often and vigor-
ously applauded.
Whatever Miss Baker has lacked in
the past, she made up last night. The
lady is now merging above her lethargy
and preoccupation of mind and soul.
She was a gallant Katisha last evening,
and her toilet was exquisite. Those
large brown eyes, heretofore so mex
pressive, were rolled with fevered
interest, and much was added to the
character. which with languid optics
would have Invested Katisha of all that
was interesting. Miss Baker deserves
as much credit for last nights
performance as she has suffered
blame for her unworthy efforts
in the past. Miss Kirwin was charm
ing and coy Yum Yum, and Mr.. Comfy
appeared at greater ease in Nankl Poo
than in any other part IN which he has
been seen here. Mr.. Kohnle was his
usual self-acrobatic fluent and ridicu-
lous. Harry Ire Denick played the
Mikado in characteristic mood. j. H.
Jones. as Pooh Bah, was entertaining.
Miss Cora Balton and Ethel BaIch, the
two young ladies who support Miss
KirWin Gin the 'sThree Little Maids"
manipulated their fans with the grace
and perfection of the accomplished
daughters of the harem. Matinees as

The School Children's Concert a
Pleasant Treat,

Singing in the lower grades of the
public schools is attended with good re-
suits, was the unanimous sentiment of
a large audience at the Peoples church
last evening. The occasion was chill
dren's concert. participated in by $50
voices, nearly all of girls taken from
grades one to eight of the public schools
of st. Paul. For the past two weeks
Prof. G. Fl. Congden and Miss Hattie E.
Ruddy have been drilling the children
for the concert that was given last
evening under their direction. The re-
suits show untiring and painstaking
effort. There were about 1000 adults
besides some 400 children in the audi
forum last evening. The profuse ap-
plause bore ample testimony of the sat.
isfactory work accomplished and the
appreciation of the vocal efforts. There
were a goodly number of voices in the
general makeup that showed aptitude
for high degree of culture. The songs
by selected pupils In costumes were so
good that encOres were frequent. The
fact that those songs were by the
smaller pupils made their presentation
more interesting. The singing by Sadie
Murphy, daughter of Mrs. E. Murphy.
was a treat that the audience did not
expect, as her name was not on the
printed programme. She is scarcely
fourteen years old, but possesses
a remarkable voice for power.
scope and sweetness. She sang

core surprised the audience by the ex-
quisite manner in which she sang sThe

For Shifting Purposes.

Vest erday afternoon the council COM
mittee on streets paid visit to the azo-
tine plant and O'Leary packing house
on the upper river flats. The object of
the visit was to examine into the con-
dition of both establishments. with a
view to ascertainlng if they gave forth
the odors complained of as nuisance by
the residents of the Fifth ward. The
protest of the residents was filed at the
last meeting of the council,and the mat
ter referred to the committee on streets.
The committee inspected the O'Leary
rendering establishment and the gar
bage works thoroughly. Members of
the committee were reticent as to the
nature of the report which will be made
at the next council meeting. but from
the remarks dropped by several it is
thought the recommendation will be to
remove both plants out of the city
limits

THE CITY'S INTERESTS
Discussed at an Important Cham
Der of Commerce Meeting.


Der of Commerce Meeting.
At Yesterdays meeting of the cham
Der of commerce communication was
read from President Harrison acknowl-
edging the receipt of resolutions by the
chamber of commerce recommending
liberal appropriation for improvements
on the Mississippi river to avoid dis
aster by overflOwS. Letters were read
from Senators Davis and WaShburn and
Congressman ComStoek and Snider,
saying they would use their efforts
to secure legislation to that end. The
mercantile committee recommended the
adoption of the provisions of the reso-
luton recently adopted by the Kansas
City Commercial club relating to the
amendment of section4 of the Interstate
commerce law, and the long and short
haul after amending it by adding the
following:
Provided that nothing in this act shall be
considered as preventing the free competi-
ton of all lines for traffic at com pet1ng
points, regardless of intermediate stations. so
long as rates at such stations are in them
selves fair and reasonable.
The report was approved. Mr.. Nor
ton. from the reception committee, re-
ported in favor of raising fl nd If 81, 900
or 81 500 each year, to be controlled by
the chamber for the entertainment of
such associations as will visit st. Paul
this year.
Mr.. Hazard stated that all roads had
established one fare for the round trip
to all who attended the National Edu-
cational association. and that the 81
extra was intended for the association.
The Baltimore & Ohio and some of the
Grand Trunk lines insist on collecting
the coupons, thus making misunder-
standing, but the fault was not of the
association of st. Paul. Mr.. Peet said
that many of the six or seven Thousand
strangers already in the city are tour
lists, and there would be a great many
more people in the city during the
week. He hoped that members OF the
chamber would show their interest by
frequent visits to headquarters OF the
association in the EndicOtt block.
President Moves said he had been re-
QueSted to ask members to meet Stran-
gers at incoming trains and bid them
welcome.
The resignation of P. 81. Kelly as
director was referred to the nominating
committee.
On motion of Mr. Nichols the cham
Der went into executive session to dis
cuss the charges relating to census
frauds. A resolution was adopted APP
proving the course of the st. Paul
papers and the state press with regard
to the alleged Minneapolis census
frauds since exposure. Several sug-
gestions relating to the matter were
considered and finally referred to the
executive committee, who were in
structed to act in conjunction with the
citizens committee in the matter. The
committee held meeting, but did not
make known the steps decided upon.

The Lawmakers of South ST. Paul
Meet and Pass Local Laws.
Aid. Rourke, whose position in the
city council was bone of contention in
the last campaign, appeared in his seat
last night, and at the close of business
explained that while his interests and
efforts were with South st. Paul, his
position with the Kansas City line
would necessitate considerable absence
in the West, and he therefore ten
dered his resignation. 1t was ac
cepted, and vote of thanks
to Mr.. Rourke was passed by
the aldermen, who afterwards elected
Charles Fitch, the former president of
the council. to fill the vacancy. The
police committee reported favorably on
Frank Rund's liquor license, which was
granted. All current bills presented
were allowed, together with estimates
for grading Bircher avenue, and for ex-
aiming accounts of the ex-treasurer
and ex-city justice. The duties of the
police department took up much of the
time of the meeting without definite
action; but the ordinance regarding i'm
pounding animals was repealed, the
councilmen being apparently satisfied
to let the state law take care of that
matter.
