Ingenious Methods nv Which They May
BE Ascertained From a Distance.
Mr.. Frederick J. Smith. of Trinity
college, Oxford, explains curious way
of finding the depth of a piece of water
at distance.
About two years ago | wished to
know from time to time the rate at
which tn, river was rising after fall
of rain The river was a considerable
distance from the spot where its height
was to be known. BY means of the
combina ton of two organ pipes and a
telephone circuit, described in the fol-
lowing lines. have been able to make
the required measurement within
rather close limits At the river station
an organ pipe was fixed vertically in an
inverted position, so that the water in
the river acted as stopper to the pipe,
and the rise or fall of the water deter
mined the note it gave when blown by
small bellows driven by small
water Wheel
4 microphone was attached to the
upper end of the organ pipe: this was
in circuit with wire leading to a town
station at some distance: at the town
station there was an exactly similar
organ pipe. which could be lowered
into vessel filed with water while it
was sounding. BY means of the tele-
phone the note given by the pipe at the
river was clearly at the town station:
then the organ pipe at this station was
lowered or raised by hand until it gave
the same note. The lengths of the
organ pipes under water at the two
stations were then equal, so that the
height of the water in the distant river
| was known.
The determination can be made in
less than a minute by any one who can
recognize the agreement of two similar
notes The arrangement when first
tested was so placed that the height of
the water at two places near together
might be easily compared ! found
that lad with an average ear for
musical sounds was able to get the two
heights to agree within an eighth of an
inch of each other, while person with
an educated ear adjusted the instru-

measured was seventeen inches 4

A Great Discovery.

William Gilbert who lived during
the reign of Queen Elizabeth, was the
most distinguished English scientist
of his time. He was physician of
great skill and had an extensive prac-
tice, but found time to pursue studies
not directly connected with his profess
sion. Magnetism received much atten-
ton from him and he wrote a Latin
Treatise on this subject which gave him
enduring fame. The theories advanced
in it were new and most OF them cor
rect The one of greatest Importance
was that the whole earth : itself moth

this which explains both the direction
Of the magnetic needle north and south
and the variation and dipping or incli-

IS therefore to be credited with hav-
ing made discovery which marks an
era in the history of magnetic science.

he was prepared to demonstrate that it
