The Falsctto Voice.

Mr.. E. Davidson Palmer, Mus. BAG.
Oxon., calls the attention of scientific
men to an apparently unknown fact in
connection with voice production. This
fact has to do with the so called 'falset-
to" voice. The general opinion about
this kind of voice is that it is something
altogether unnatural, and that it ought
never to be used. According to modern
scientific theories, however, it is one Of
two or more registers, and is supposed to
be intended by nature to be used only at
the upper extremity of the vocal com.
pass. But it is quite possible to produce
this kind of voice ut a much lower pitch
lat least an octave lower) than that at
which singers are yer taught to use it.
Produced in this way, it may be so
weak and feeble as to be practically use
less. Still it is possible SC to produce it,
as men and singers we'll know. What
they do not know and what scientific
men appear to be totally unaware of, is
that it may be developed at this low
pitch, and not only developed, bnt COM
pletely transformed. When thus trans
formed it loses entirely it's unnatural and
etfieminate character, and becomes 4
strong, manly voice, which is easily mis-.
taken for what is commonly called ''chest
voice." but which, unlike that kind Of
voice. is capable Of bearing throughout
its whole compass any strain that may
be put upon it.-English Mechanic.

Profits of SlccEinc Cars

big money and when one knows the
cost of operating them it is no wonder.

though you hear Of them worth twice
that sum. However, those costly cars
don't get outside the shops. Well, the
railroad companies pay three cents ii

and the car will average 300 miles i in

Now a ten section car has twenty

earnings. OF course sleepcrs don't carry
full loads every night, but if they die

for every sheet

responsible for every sheet.
The sheets are packed in bundles OF
1000 in each, and are printed in the
basement of the bank building in Paris.

of some official, who .must account ia.

either by showing it, or a receipt given
for it by the official to whom he l;..s
handed it over. As the bank has son.s
times printed 400, 1000 bills q day. and ut
such periods employs about 400 persons
in the printing department, strict ac.
counts are necessary toprevent loss, and
an elaborate system of humbugging and
checking is used.
A series of bills consists of 1000, which
are numbered from l to 1000, and TWEEN.
ty-five series, lettered A, B, e, etc, and
tied up together, under the name of III,
alphabet" After each operation, the
bills are verified by IL who sign
their names on the band placed around
the bundles. AS there are nine opera.
tons, there must be nine verifications.
and the final veritication is repeated, by
II fresh set of inspectors. so that nothing
can be overlooked. After the bills arc
complete they are delivered to the secre.
tary of the bank, who examines them
and gives a receipt for them, d~ischargins
the head of the printing department from
further responsibility. They are then
placed i'll the vaults and are withdrawn
for issue only by order of the governor:
of the bank.
The principal difficulty in regulating
the accounts III from the defective
bills. No bill is allowed to pass the i'll
spectors which shows a spot, an uneven
margin. a defect in printing or any Other
imperfection. and the bills thrown out
must be recorded in the books with quite
as much accuracy rs those which pass
successfully to the final stage. Every
bill rejected ny the inspectors is stamped.
and it's place in the series filled By a
check. The stamped bills go to the sec
rotary of the bank, who puts them un.
der lock and key, and new bills, CORE.
spending to the checks, are printed, and
credit is given to the paper mandatory
for the paper necessary to make these.
The accounts of the "faulted" bills
are carried through the books and TO,
verification the stamped bills them
selves are kept for five years. AT the
end of that time, if there has been no
question about them, the regents of the
bank, the secretary, the examiners, the
chiefs of the printing department, and
the chiefs of the department of bill ac-
counts join i'll signing an order. in pur,
suance Of which they are taken from the
vaults and destroyed.-Le Genie Civile.
