snnnsl Of n Sunbeam.

One OF the most wonderful discoveries Ia
science that has been made within the last
year or two il tic fact that a beam Of light
produces sound. A beam Of sunlight il
thrown through lens on glass vessel
that contains lampblaek, colored silk or
worsted, or other substances, A disk hav
ing Sits OF openings cut in IL is made to
revolye swiftly in this beam og light, so as
10 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 more wonderful discovery has
been made A BENIN Of sunlight IL caused
10 pass through a prism 50 as to produce
what Is called the solar spectrum or rain
bow. The disk Is turned. and the eolored
light Of the rainbow Is made To break
through IL.
Now place the ear To the vessel contain
Ing the silk wool or other material Az
the colored lights Of the spectrum fall upon
IL sounds will be given by different parts
of the spectrum. and there will be silence
In other parts.
For instance, II the vessel contains red
worsted and the green light flashes upon
IL loud sounds will be given. Only feeble
sounds will be hefrd II the red and blue
parts OF the rainbow fall upon The vessel,
and other colors make no sound at all
Green silk gives sounds best in a red light
Every kind of material gives more or
less sound In different colors and utteEs ne
sound In Others. s.-Pearson'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, aud 10
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 flxedly at them.
Mesmerio passes were made over their
faces, and after the lapse of few minutes
three of the gazers had fallen asleep. The
others were dismissed.
With these three subjects the doctor
produced some remarkable phenomena.
lie induced them 10 imagine that they were
ON the seashore and to initiate bathers and
victims OF IA terrible shipwreck. Then they
made the audience laugh by beginning to
disrobe for a bath, and the manner in
which they swan and 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 twine.
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 betruy the slightest indi-
cation that they suffered the least pain,
and he made them sing while in that con-
dition Several gentlemen were called
upon the stage To examine the thread In
order to satisfy them that il was no trick.
Then the doctor drew out the thread and
showed that not drop Of blood had flowed
from the holes or stained the thread San

sama y.rx Ancient rIn..

Among the remains of the lak0
dwellers of Europe have been found
bronze pins and bronze brooches, in
which the pin forms the prominent
feature, many of which are highly
ornamented and very beautiful 4
few copper and one iron pin have
also heen found. Ii il estimated that
10. 600 pins have been collected ut the
lacustrine station of Switzerland
alone A few of these pins have
double stems, and were probably
used as hairpins. Three have been
found at Peschiera. which are ex-
actly the same in form as the safety
pins of the present time.
Among the single stemmed pins
are many ingenious devices for pre-
venting the spike from passing en-
tirely through the cloth or other
material 1t il used for fastening to-
gether Many of them are SO formed
that they are thicker in some places
than in others. A large number,
both of bone and bronze, have the
head formed of a loose ring passed
through an eye in the pin. A few of
them have the appearance of the
scarf pins now in use.
In Egypt pins with guld heads have
been discovered. while ancient Ro-
man bronze pins and bone haiInins

1t appears that the Assl rians were the
first people TO divide the day into portions
of time, also that they were the inventors
of the clepsydra. or water clock, the divi-
sion Of time and the invention both belong
ing to period too remote for precise cal
cnlation. All that we know Of the history
OF the clepsydra is that the apparatus was
In use at the time of tile overflow OF the
first Assytian empire, b. C. 70a
This 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 triokle, something
after the fashion OF the empiying OF an
hourglass. From experiments made on
recently discovered clepsydras IL Is calcu-
lated that one would empty itself about
once every two hours. Under the reign OF
phul, the royal palace Of Nincvah, as we'll
as each of the principal districts OF the
city, possessed a water clock of the same
size, shape and capacity. They were filled
al a signal from the watchman 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 1t was To I'LL them
rs often as they became empty. Besides
these ''tine masters" there was q regular
staff OF eriers. working under municipal
authority, who, as often as the clocks were
emptied, passcd 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.
Louis Republic.
