LONDON, March 5.-The outlook in
the coal trade aud among consumers Is
somewhat brighter to-day. 1t appears
probable that the gigantic strike
which it was proposed to inaugurate on
March II, IN order to restrict the out
put and thus compel consumers to pay
such an advanced price for coal as would
warrant the mine owners in making no
reduction in wages, will not take place.
II would not be safe, however, to make
a positive statement that events Will
follow this course. Large numbers OF
manufacturers have announced their
decision to close their works rather
than to pay the increased prices for coal
and the effect OF this has been to bring
about an abatement in the demand
which at one time caused almost state

His Dog Retrieved the ROM,

A rather reckless Biddeford man, with
no respect for law or gospel, is said to have
devised a scheme for catching trout by the
wholesale, which did not work as well as
he thought.
He thought that bomb exploded in the
brook would bring all the fish in it to the
surface, so that he would only have to
pick them up. He provided himself with
bomb powerful enough to blast schooner
out of water and went to local brook in
which there were said to be lots of trout.
He fixed the fuse, ignited it and threw the
bomb into the brook.
AS he did so his dog jumped in after it.,
seized it in his mouth, got back to shore
and started after his master, who was leg
ging it across the field as fast as he could
in the realization of his danger. The man
had the good luck to get over n good bit of
territory. and n moment later, hearing an
explosion, he looked around to see his dog

Sound of n Sunbeam.

One of the most wonderful discoveries liz
science that has been made within the last
year or two is the fact that beam of light
produces sound. a beam of sunlight is
thrown through lens on glass vessel
that contains lGmpbleck, colored silk or
worsted, or other substances. A disk hay
ing Sits or openings cut in it is made to
rcvolve swiftly in this beam of light, so as
To cut 1T 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 Il more wonderful discovery has
been made. a beam Of sunlight is caused
to pass through n prism so as to produce
what is called the solar spectrum or rain
bow. The disk is turned, and the colored
light of the rainbow is made to break
through it,
Now place the eur To the vessel contain
ing the silk, wool or other material. AS
the colored lights of the spectrum fall upon
1T 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
1t loud sounds will be given Only feeble
sounds will be heard if the red and blue
parts OF the rainbow full upon the vessel,
and other colors make no sound at all
Green silk gives sounds best in n red light.
Every kind of material gives more or
less sound in different colors and utters no
sound In others.-Pearson's Weekly.
