Called Sypher a Liar.

Washington, January e. You're a
liar, and you know it, was the startling
exclamation which fell from the lips OF
Representative Amos J. Cummings of
New York at the Capitol today.
The remark was addressed to J. Hale
Sypher, a former representative from
Louisiana, and now a practicing attorney
in this city. The scene was the room of
the House naval affairs committee
The subject before the committee was
the resolution introduced iii the House
by Mr.. Holman of Indiana, December last
which set forth the fact that more than
81, 900, 900 had been paid to contractors
engaged in the building Of war ships for
premiums, that the ships were built so
as to secure higher speed than was re-
quired by the contracts, thereby per-
uniting the contractors to earn extra
ordinary and unjustifiable premiums.
Sypher had appeared as a witness, and
after accusing Secretaries Tracy and
Herbert of being in collusion with the
builders of warships made the same
accusation against Mr.. Cummings. MIR.
Cummings replied as stated above and
Mr.. Sypher subsidized.

Measuring Sound.

A very ingenious apparatus for measur-
ing the intensity of sound is described in
German paper. A narrow glass tube bent
at a very obtuse angle is half filled with
alcohol. One end of the tube has conical
opening, and this is placed at a distance
Of 0.5 centimeter from the opening Of
the resonator, the whole being mounted ON
board capable of adjustment to any an
gle. The puffs emitted from the resonator,
when responding to a sound, affect the
level of the alcohol, and the displacements
are read off on scale attached to the tube.
projected If necessary onto a screen. In
the observation of that interesting effect
of sound--repulsion-a light resonator Of
the ordinary construction is foated on wa
ter, its axis being kept horizontal by means
of an attached piece of wire, and on blow
ing the horn the sphere will float in the
direction opposite to that in which the
neck is pointed. To produce continuous
rotation four resonators are attached to q
light cross Of wood turning on a needle
point, or one resonator with four bent
necks is suspended by thread.-New

desperately wounded by tie same volley

with Mcclellan was told in the plainest
way, without decoration & any kind, yet
he is probably the only living soldier who
ever appeared before his commanding gen

bearing an official dispatch in his mouth.
The night of the battle # Malvern Hill,
June l., 1852, was verylark and rainy
one. The command to which Rudolph be-
longed went into camp near White Oak
swamp. Late in the nigh he was aroused
from sleep and ordered to report at once
