Photographing Bursting Bubble

At recent lecture before the ROYAL
Institution, England, the lecturer, after
referring to series of photographs of
animals in motion, which had been taken
by means Of n movable shutter, said that
rapidly occurring phenomena might also
be photographed by the exposure of the
lens to flash of magnesium light or to
the electrical spark. After stating that
neither of these flashes was absolutely in.
Simultaneous, he proceeded to show their
actual duration. 1t appears that flash
from Leydcn jar, lasts less than one
twenty-five nillionth part of second.
Some idea may be formed of such dur.
alton by considering that it is nearly the
same fraction of n second as one second
is of year, as year contains, roughly,
5000, 900 seconds. 1t was further
shown that a soap film might be paoto.
graphed in the acc of breaking, but rs
this occupied less than onc-tenth of a
second, it was more difficult to photo.
graph than jets of liquid. A dry shot
would pass through soap bubble with
out breaking it, but a shot wctted with
alcohol would break the film at once
BY means of the dropping of weights sus.
pended from the electro magnet it was
possible to make the breaking of the
film and the flash of the spark stimuli.

The accompanying sketch gives good
idea of them.
They consist of hollow tree trunks con-
tanning apertures connected by vertical
slit. These trunks are ornamented at
the upper part with sculptures represent
ing heads, feet, war clubs and ships.
BY striking each of them with stick,
the natives produce somewhat cadenced
sounds resembling those OF the tomtom.
They perform their dances to the sound
OF these instruments, after having daubed
their faces red and black.
They have also three other musical
Instruments; sort of trumpet made of n
shell perforated at the side or extremity:
n syrinx with six, seven or eight pipes,
from which they sometimes obtain har.
monious sounds; and long flute per-
forated at the lower extremity and con-
sisting of single piece of bamboo with
three holes and. mouthpiece. These
Instruments are used only within doors
In order to amuse children.

Among other objects here relating to
Columbus is tie very fine statue of him

ing geography, science, religion, strength

the Genoa Bank of st. George Offering
to give to the bank onc-tenth of his rev.
enue from property secured by discovery
in the new world in trust for the purpose
of reducing the tax on corn aud wine

happened. One day the papers recorded
