I will now explain how electricity
acts in the telephone.
If you lay your finger lightly on the
sounding board on piano on which
some one is playing, you will feel that
the board is in notwithstanding or
vibrating rapidly.
If you touch the string that is
sounded, you will learn that that also
is vibrating-indeed, by looking at
tentively, you can see it vibrate-
And if, without striking any OF the
keys, you simply sing a loud clear note
into the piano, you will find by look
ing and touching that the sounding
board and some of the strings are
trembling
All sounds. indeed, are produced by
something that is vibrating, or NOV
ing rapidly to and fro, and it is the
vibration of the air that carries the
sound from the sounding body to your
ear.
When the sound or vibration reaches
the drum of the ear, it makes that
vibrate, and in this way the sound
is carried to the inner part of the ear,
and heard.

Of stretched skin or membrane, like
the drum of the ear, vibrates to every

(The piano string, on the other hand,
only vibrates to particular notes, and
SO only a few of the strings tremble
when you sing into the piano. If you
sing different notes, these strings will
remain quiet and other strings will
tremble)
The black disk which you see behind
the hole in the telephone box is a
thin plate of iron which vibrates, like
the drum of the ear, to every sound
which reaches it.
The black disk, however, does not
vibrate in the same way to all sounds.

chemist recently, with his family, at
tended a picnic, and after the knife and
fork tea, which formed part of the pro-

pany number of sweetmeats, all of
which bore an advertisement referring
to his specialties, and later during the
concert which followed his daughter

forth the advantages which could be de-
rived from the use of certain pills, the

ant optical effect upon the human face.
To the avoidance of this effect, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, certain French
student has recently been giving his at
tention, with the result that he has pro-
duced face powder that is as delicate and
fine as the popular article made from rice.
The foundation Of this luminous pow
der is sulphate of quinine, which has been
dissolved in alcohol and Is mixed with
sulphate Of zinc. 1t Is called prosphores-
cent, or fuorescent, because 1t retains it's
brilliancy for several hours in the hottest
sun. In addition to being an adjunct of
womankind to heighten beauty, it has
been found to protect it's user from the de-
pressing effect of the sun. The face Is first
dampened by the lotion made from the
quinine and alcohol and is then powdered
with the sulphate of zinc.
The only objection to the powder Is the
taint Of selfshness that attends It, When
the lady has completed her toilet, she
plunges her powder puff into the box Of
luminous powder and passes 1t sparingly
over her face and neck. From that mo-
ment she takes a brilliant color that is as
delicate and as conspicuous as the pure
white of Parian marble, and which has
the effect of giving to all other faces in the
immediate vicinity oitron yellow tint
that Is destructive Of beauty.

SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT ACT
To Suppress Fraudulent Advertise ements
of Worlds Fair Awards?

To Suppress Fraudulent Advertisement
of Worlds Fair AwardsP
Letters from both the Chief of Awards
(on Agriculture) at the Chicago Worlds
Fair, Mr.. j. S. Browning, and the Judge
OF Awards on Baking Powders expose
the falsity of the claim made in behalf
Of Chicago baking powder that it re-
ceived the highest award for leavening
power keeping, qualities, purity and gem
eral excellence.
The Judge of Awards says that this
claim is false; that no such award was
given to that baking powder.
Mr.. Browning in his letter already
published also shows that there was no
award given to the Chicago company for
the best baking powder.
1t now appears further that the analy-
ses of the powders exhibited showed a
baking powder made in New York alto
gether the superior of the Chicago pow
der in both purity and strength.
The government has prohibited the
use for advertising purposes of the med
ais awarded by the fair. It would be a
great protection to the public if the gov
ernment would also prohibit the publi-
cation of false claims, such as those that
have been exposed in relation to such
awards.
The only official competitive test of a
national character, from which consum-
ers can obtain the actual facts as to the
relative values OF all the principal brands
of baking powder of the country, is that
made by the Agricultural Department at
WaehluptOn ID O. If 40 hannana that
this was conducted by the same eminent
chemist who acted as Judge of Awards
at the Chicago Columbian Fair. As has
already been published, at this exami-
nation the Royal Baking Powder was
found to be the superior powder and
highest in leavening strength.

WILD BILL A SOLID MAN.
The Body of the Famous Desperate Ha
Turned to Stone.

Turned to Stone.
The climate of Colorado is so exceed
ingly dry in the greater portion Of the
state that ordinary objects, such as po-
tatoes, vegetables of various sorts and
even small animals, petrify when COW
cred with sand. The body of Wild Bill,
the famous desperate, is today solid
stone. He was buried in sandy coun-
try near Telluride, and about four years
ago his friends decided to put up mon
ument to his memory. They went out
to his grave, which is in the open
prairie, and one of the party, an old
scout, was taken along to exactly locate
where he was buried The sand had
shifted and blown in great heaps, as it
does all through that country, and the
scout had a good deal of difficulty in
absolutely locating the spot Finally he
struck mound that he said had Wild
Bill under it
Owing to the uncertainty of the situ-
alton and his hesitancy, the party de-
oided to dig down and see whether he
was right. Presently the spade ran into
rock-a scarce thing in that country.
They shoveled all around it, and soon
revealed the petrified image of Wild
Bill, as perfect as the day he died, with
not a trace of decomposition. Even the
clothes and shoes We're turned to stone.
Some of the parties wanted to take the
body up for the purposes of exhibition.
But one of Bills old pals, Shorty Jake,
as he was called, remarked that the first
man who tried to do SO would find bed
in the hole that Bill filled. So the idea
was abandoned. d.-Washington Post.
