Notes About Town.

A gentleman remarked recently upon
the. Main street that he had contracted

force will be made. Colonel Colt, the

HIS NAME ON HIS FISH.
Ellis Was Surprised When He Caught
Founder of the Same Name.

Many strange objects are dragged from
the bottom of the sea, but Provincetown
must surely take the palm for finding the
queerest sea spoil of the season.
The schooner Little Jennie made q very
successful founder voyage on Saturday
afternoon of Long point, taking eight
barrels, say 2,200 specimens, of pleuro nec-
tes maculatus. Ordinarily founder fish,
ing Is accompanied by means of the dredg-
ing apparatus or hook and line, and tho
method employed by the Little Jennie's
orew--that of seining-is but rarely tried.
The dredges bring up many freak floun-
ders. Occasionally specimen, white on
back and belly, with eyes of black, the
sole points of color s.~ the entire fish, Is
taken. Now and thte founder with the
underside the exact counterpart of the
black or brown upper comes TO the surface,
and founders white on one side and black
on the other, top and bottom, throughout
their entire length, are found. All these
are considered strange finds, but the find
of the Little Jennie's men beats anything
yet.
Four sets OF scine on the edge of the
ground close TO the Long point shore gave
yield of eight barrels AS one big lot
was being dumped inboard ono of the crew
saw strangely marked founder tumble
among the mass. His curiosity was
aroused, and he delved amid the Tapping
mass of flatflsh until he uncovered and OK
tracted tho particular fish. Then he was
astonished to find that the founder bore
in inch long capitals his own surname,
Ellis He carefully wrapped the fish in
his coat and brought tito land, where
score of scoffers became believers after a
careful examination Of the inscription.
The name or inscription was at some time
in the past cut In tho founders belly flesh,
and, healing perfectly, Is rs plainly legible
as if printed with the blackcs; ink
Without doubt fisherman named Ellis
cut his name on this particular founder
and threw it overheard, its small size,
about inches in length, rendering IL al
most valueless The oddity of tho affair
Is that another Ellis should assist I'm the
recapture and be the one TO notice the
strange marks.
Insley Ellis is the one who brought the
fish TO land, and he was surprised lad,
to say the least, during all the hour that
succeeded his reading of his name inscrib-
ed upon the flesh of a founder fresh
caught The reporter will vouoh for the
truth of the story, he having, with many
others, examined the fish and pronounced
tho inscription tho result Of cutsanade
weeks ago, at least Who cut the name,
and when and wherog - New Bedford
Standard.

MOTION FROM SOUND.
This May Explain the Mysterious
Keely Motor.
The Present Form of the Newly In-
vented Motor.

A sound motor is the latest 1t has beeE
discovered that sound contains or can
cause motion.
This may be the explanation Of the mys-
terious Keely motor which went Cfthout
any apparent cause. The new sound mo-
tor is In the form Of wheel, which turns
when q certain note Is struck.
As yet 1t has little power and may be
easily stopped with the finger. But fur
ther experiments may show that all sorts
of noises at present regarded merely as
nuisance can be made to accomplish USE
full results.
The intensity Of its manifestation de-
ponds upon the density of the air in which
the sound is generated, and not upon the
density of the air in which it Is heard. A
tuning fork when in vibration molds the
surrounding air into sonorous waves that
we call sound. While this may be termed
simply an exhibition of energy" who Is
the philosopher who can prove 1t 10 not to
be form of matters"
Sound Is but changed form Of MOLE
cule In the first form of the sound motor
vanes like those of the radiometer were
employed, but without much success.
Then the phenomenon of resonance was
to re-enforce sound-make iG louder,
stronger. Experiment along this line re-
vealed the remarkable fact that between
the law of comic sections and tho law OF
sound there existed curious relationship,
the tonic, the dominant and the subdom-
inant of the sound scale corresponding To
the cylinder, the parabola and the hyper
bola.
haw wtxaeS
spherical termination, offered "a moasur-
able resistance To the sound of the tonic.
A cavity shaped as parabola resisted the
sound of the dominant, and hyperbolio
shaped cavity resisted tho subdominant,
the different shaped cavities being but
slightly or not at all affected by other notes.
The present form of the sound motor
consists of flat disk mounted upon an
axle On the periphery of tho disk are ID
cuplike cavities shaped either parabolic,
hyperbolic or cylindrical, according as it Is
desired 10 use certain note, tho axis OF
the cavity being at n tangent to the cir
cumference Of the disk.
Asa hollow sphere reflects TO It's center
all rays Of incidence originating within 1t,
besides re-enforcinR them, the motor Is In
closed In flat spherical casing, which,
while conserving the actuating sound, ex-
cludes extrancous ones. The axis of the
disk Is projected outside OF the casing,
where IL carries pulley.
The sound employed to move tho disk 10
produced by tuning fork vibrated by q
small electro magnet A curious feature
is that the motor will only operate when
the cavities are or le In number, corre-
spending to the number Of tones In the
major and chromatic scales OF the incon-
plete octave. New York Journal

he based upon the suppos!tion that Rus

speech at Liveoprol on Sept "a, in which
he declared that 1--WE (Great Brittany
