Sound of a Sunbeam.

One of the most wonderful discoveries III
science that has been made within the last
year or Two is the fact that q beam of light
produces sound. A beam of sunlight is
thrown through lens on "A glass vessel
that contains lampblack, colored silk or
wOrstcd, or other Gu distances. n disk hay
.ug Sits or openings cut in 1t 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 Il more wonderful discovery has
been made. a Lean Of sunlight is caused

what Is called the solar spectrum or rain
bow, The disk is turned, and the colortd
light Of the rainbow IS made to break
through it.
Now place the ear to the vessel contain
ing the silk, wool or other material. As
the colorcd lights OF the spectrum fall upon
it sounds will be given by different parts
of the spectrum, and there viii be silence
in other parts,
For Instance, if the vessel contains red
vorsted and the green hight flashes upon
it loud sounds will be given. Only feeble
sounds will be heard If the red and blue
parts Of the rainbow fail upon the vessel!
and other cOlOrs make no sound at all
Green silk gives sounds best in red light
Every kind Of material gives more or
less sound in different cOlors and utters no
sound in others Pcarsou's Weekly.

a Russian hypnotist and mind reader
gave an entertaining seance at Metropolitan
temple last night. At his request twelve
gentlemen took seats on the stage, and to
each of them the doctor gave a small crys
tai prism set in the center of dark stone,
He requested them TO hold the crystals in
their right hand about eighteen inches
from the eyes and to gaze fixedly at them.
Mesmeric passes were made over their
faces, and after the lapse of a few minutes
three of the gazers had fallen asleep. The
others were dismissed
With these three subjects the doctor
produced some remarkable phenomena
He induced them to imagine that IL o. were
on the seashore and to initiate a. shers and
vi,tims of "A terrible shipwreck. Then they
made the audience ilS,.gh by beginning to
disrobe for a Lath, and the manner in
which they swan md floundered on the
carpet was most ludicrous.
Two of the subjects were placed side by
side facing the spectators, while the doctor
calmly threaded sack needle with Irvine.
Obedient to his command the subjects
opened their mouths and he drew the
needle and thread through the upper lip Of
each, literally sewing them together The
subjects did not betray the slightest iudi-
cation that they suffered the least pain,
and he made them sing while in that con
dton. Several gentlemen Were called
upon the stage 10 examine the thread in
order to satisfy them that it was no trick.
Then the doctor drew out the thread and
showed that not u drop of blood had flowed
from the holes or stained the thread.

IAN ola fellow played the Friar when

an actor "The fat stuck in the scene in
the Friar's cell and the stage hands

Then the rullians in the gallery began to
howl. One or two of them Kissed. This
Frar went to the footlQhts and roared at
them: Stop your bloody noise up there.
Haven't you ever seen scene stuck be
fore? You're Il blooming lot of chumps,
that's what you are. There isn't IA decent
man among you. You've seen worse act
ing than you're seeing now. Why didn't
you hiss that, blame youY
"Well, the old fellow went on in the
most awful way, using swear words at a
prodigious rate. Then he noticed that the
scene was in place, and he turned up the
stage and called out, Romeo come forth.
The change from that man ripping out
oaths-a monk, too-to the Friar OF the
piece was nearly enough to set me off, and

Nator clocks of Olden Tine


1t appears that The AssyriaGs were the
first people to divide the day into portions
of time also that they were tue inventors
of the olepsydra or water clock, the divi-
sion Of time and thu invention both belong
ing TO n period TO remote for precise cal
culation. AL, that we know Of the history
o; the clepZydra is that the apparatus was
in use mt the time of the overflow of the
first Assyrian empire, b. G. Tj0.
Tits water clock, the first of the time
keepers, was nothing more than cylin-
drical brass vessel capable of holding sew
eral gallons OF water. At one side there
was very small hole through which the
water was allowed to trickle, something
after the fashion of the emptying OF an
hourglass. From experiments made on
recently discovered clepsydras it is calcu-
lated that one would empty. itself about
once every two hours. Under the reign Of
Phul, the royal palace of Ninevah, as well
as each Of the principal districts Of the
city, possessed water clock of the same
size, shape and capacity. They were filled
at a signal from the Waterman on the
tower, who was stationed there to proclaim
the moment of the rising of the sun.
During the day they were in the custody
Of officials whose duty it was to fill them
as often as they became empty. Besides
these time masters" there was a regular
staff of criers, working under municipal
authority, who, as often as the clocks were
emptied, passed through the principal
streets announcing the fact for the benefit
Of the people in general In this way our
remote ancestors managed to get n rough
computation of the flight of time.-St.

His Dog Retrieved the Bomb.

A rather rech less Bddeford man, with
no respect for law or gospel, is said to have
devised il scheme for catching trout by the
wholesale which did not work AS we'll as
he thought.
He thought that bomb exploded in the
brook would bring all the fish in it To the
surface, 50 that he would only have to
pick them up, He provided himself with
II bomb powerful enough to blast Il schooner
out Of water and went to a local brook in
which there were said to be lots of trout,
He fixed the Iuee, ignlted it ana threw the
bomb into the brook.
As he did 50 his dog jumped in after it,
seized it in bis mouth, got back to shore
and started after his master, who WAS leg
ging it across the field as fast rs he could
in the realization of his danger. The man
had the good luck to get over a good bit OF
territory, and moment later hearing an
eXplos ion, he looked around TO see his dog

Saved his client,

Fifteen years ago Judge Insolvency. was
famous criminal lawyer Of southern
Michigan. He was called upon TO defend
young woman from the charge OF having
poisoned her old husband 1t was Ques-
ton of whether or not she had placed poi
son in cake Of which the old man had
eaten. A portion OF the cake had been
analysed by a chemist and found to con-
tain great deal of deadly poison. The
chemist testified to this in court. Other
witnesses succeeded in making a chain Of
damning evidence against the pretty young
widow. The time came for the summing
UP speeches of the attorneys. The prose-
tuition began and finished and all looked
hopeless for the prisoner at the bar. Judge
McSweeney, the only speaker for the de-
Tense, arose amid breathicss silence The
room was crowded and all were listening.
One could almost hear the quiet, it was SO
intense. He began in a low tone to sum
up the evidence in defense of the prisoner.
He had been allowed an hour in which to
plead his side of the case
He dealt with everything but the cake
II rested upon the table Just at his right
hand, where it had stood during all the
weary trial. Thirty minutes passed and
the people were still notionless, charmed
lawyer. Three-quarters OF an hour passed
by, then another ten minutes. When the
clock over the big desk told him there were
but FIVE minutes left, he reached his hand
out to the cake, half of which stood upon
the table, and broke off ragged chunk.
He held this in his hand and between
sentences took great mouthfuls of it.
During those five minutes he calmly
argued the case and ate cake. He de
molished more than half of it. The
chemist had declared that there was
enough poison in it to kill fifty men. The
good people looked at him in amazement
and the jurors turned to each other and
whispered. Insolvency. wound up his
speech, took another chunk of cake and
walked quietly from the courtroom eat
ing it.
He closed the door behind him, ran into
a small room close by and locked the door
Two physicians stood ready with a stomach
pump, and in ten minutes the cake was all
in the slop jar. The jury returned a YER
dict of mot guilty" without leaving the
courtroom.-Kansas City Times.
