How to Hear a Color.

One of the most wonderful discoveries
in science that has been made within the
last year or two is the fact that beam of
light produces sound According to
Milling, a beam of sunlight is thrown
through lens on n glass vessel that con-
tains lsmpblack, colored silk or worsted
or other substances. A disk, having
Sits or openings cut in il, 10 made TO
rcvolve swiftly in this beam of light so
"a to cut il up, thus making alternate
flashes Of light and shallow. On putting
the ear to the glass vessel strange sounds
are heard so long as the flashing beam
is falling on the vessel.
Recently a wonderful discovery has
been made A beam of sunlight is
caused TO pass through a priom SO rs to
produce what is called 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 containing the silk, wool, or
other material. As the colored lights Of
the spectrum 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
il, loud sounds will be given. Only
feeble sounds will be heard IL the red
and blue part Of the rainbow fall upon
the vessel, snd 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 uttcrs no sound in others

A Gallant Remark.

1t Is said that this is not the age OF
chivalry. There Is much evidence In
hand 10 prove that whether the DAYS
OF knight -errancy have passed or not.
this certainly Is an age OF gallantry
There was much OF this quality, for
instance. I'm the young man who had
but recently been married TO a young
girl. who, though short OF stature,
was person OF great beauty, who Is
reported TO have said, 'she would
have been taller, but she Is made OF
such precious materials that nature
could not afford IT."
This man would seem TO have. the
qualities OF mind and disposition to
make any woman happy, IL he does
not permit slime, TO dim the lustre
thereof -harper's Bazar. e,.

Is the work progressing; Is vice being

Bnt organized crusades against vice
are always more or less dependent upon

effort counts. Teachers in colleges and

Thanksgiving and praise for the protec-
ton of Providence that had delivered
that little band OF adventurous mariners
from the dangers of the sea and that
had brought them safely to so fair a
haven.
The cross is to be erected at the ex-
pense Of George w. Childs. editor OF the
Philadelphia Ledger, and will cost sew
eral Thousand dollars. The consecra-
ton has been fixed for the 25th OF this
month, and that date will be carved on
the stone above the arms OF the cross.
The design followed is that OF the an
Gent Celtic cross, and is modelled par
%ticularly on the lines Of the venerable
cross of Monasterboice, Ireland. The
stem is to be richly carved after the
manner Of memorial edifces among the
early Celtic Christians. The subbace
will be : feet high and appropriately
chased in runic designs, each facade
presenting q cross in counterpart OF the
main shaft.
The principal device, above the arms
on the face OF the cross, will be a rep
resentation of 3 book Of common
prayer on the opposite side will be en-
graved the seal Of the Episcopal diocese
OF California.
Following the Celtic form the arms Of
the cross will be connected with a cir
Gle. The circle typi6es the world and
signifies that the cross is to spread its
influence to the ends Of the earth.
The spot chosen as a site for the cross
Is about three-quarters OF q mile from
the lighthouse at the southern extrem-
ity Of Point Reyes peninsula.

evil which elude statutes aud courts,
