Making the Sun Spots Audible.

Nothing has been heard lately of
Mr.. Edison's attempt to make the roar
of sun spots audible by means OF an
electromagnetic device connecting the
earth currents with a telephone. The
idea was that the impulses believed to
be transmitted from the sun to the
earth when great spots are forming On
the solar surface might be translated
into sound waves, thus, in a sense, en-
abling us to listen to the voice OF the
god of day when his temper is dis
turbed.
Recently an experiment of a similar
nature has been tried in England by
Mr.. w. H. Pierce, and apparently with
success. During the magnetic storm
of last March, which seemed to be con-
nected with disturbances in the sun,
telephones were inserted in some OF
the principal telegraph circuits, and
they gave out various sounds. Some
times the noise was like the twanging
of musical strings or wires: then again
it resembled whistling. Some observ-
ers heard reverberations in the tele-
phone like the rumbling of heavy carts.
Occasionally, high-pitched notes and
screeches were emitted, followed by
low musical sounds like the laps OF
waves upon beach.
While these strange noises were
given forth from telephones attached
to telegraph lines-one of the Liver
pool-Hamburg wires-aurOral lights,
white. green. and rose-colored, were
seen in various places playing up and
down the sky, and the earth appeared
to be tingling with electric currents.
Evidently there is still a great op
portunity for discovery concerning the
origin and nature of such magnetic
storms and their relation, if any. II
the sun. So far. speculation has hel'
the field in this direction, but few
facts are beginning to emerge, ant
any day brilliant discovery may II
Illuminate the whole mystery with
flood of light. Then. perhaps. w

phones sing and whistle and shrek

Work Of the Gold Standard.

The single gold standard is putting
in its work. Unemployed labor cries
for bread and is rewarded with stone.
The country north of the Potomac is
filled with tramps. Within the past
week dangerous riots have occurred
in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and our
news columns are crowded with the lat

Tramps seize and hold passenger
train in Ohio, and the Pennsylvania
railroad is compelled to cut 900 en-
ployes at Altoona down to four days

The deadly blight of the gold staC-
dard has not been long in making it
self felt. From Maine to California,
from the St. Lawrence to the Ohio,

Electric Search.Light.

Among the many interesting things
in the wonderfully attractive field Of
electrical investigation, the search
light has, perhaps, been brought to
the notice of more persons than any
other single exhibition of this remark
able element. The thousands who
watched the manipulation of the
search-lights on the top of the Worlds
Fair buildings could scarcely imagine
the possibilities of its future 1t is
not at all remarkable that this great
light is in a fair way to be used as a
pen to write advertisements upon the
clouds. With a densely black evening
sky, the light may be so thrown
through properly adjusted lenses that
a magic lantern effect on an extensive
scale may be produced. Letters one
hundred feet long are cut in stencil
fashion from sheets of tin or iron and
projected upon dark clouds or upon
the blackness of night As already
arranged, these lights may be seen
for more than one hundred miles. It
is thought that in time lights of such
power may be operated that ships at
sea may be guided for great distances.
1t will unquestionably be one Of the
possibilities of the not very far dis
tant future to communicate informa-
ton to a wide area by means of letters
projected upon the clouds. =. New
