8PHOTOGRAPHING THE VOICE.

ResOnatOrs
People not only see themselves as
others see them, hear themselves as
others hear them, and, in the light OF
the Roentgen rays. study the mystery
of their anatomy, but are enabled, by
q late discovery, to photograph the
voice. This new philosophy was ex-
planned last night at the lecture hall Of
the q. NJ. @. "a. building, in German
town, by DR.. Floyd u. mickey, a well
known throat specialist .of New Z ork
city, and who, with DIR. w illiam Hal
lock, professor Of physics in Columbia
college, first conceived the idea of the
applica ton Of photo graphy to the hui
man voice. 3s 5
DR.. mickey came to Germanto town at
| theSrequest Of his friend, Prof. J. Me
Conbie Murray, and brought with him
his complete outfit for the fullest dem
onstration Of #Hallock and Muckey's
method Of voice photography
The doctor is a man Of fine presence,
All easy, pleasing talker and excellent
demonstrator. His lecture, aided by
figures, charts and appliances, was
highly entertaining and educational
from start to finish. It was free from
so simple and prac tical as to be easily
and clearly tnd erstood by all.
The process is really photOgrap hing
the mechanism Of the voice. The APP
paratus is a rectangular box, into one.
side of which are fitted eight resonat-
ors, metal spheres, gra duated in size,
which represent the fundamental and
even tones of the voice. This series of
resonators is connected with eight ma
nometric capsules on the reverse side
Of the box, and back Of these is placed
q camera. The capsules are emitting
small flame Of gas. If a person
sings in front Of the resonators they
catch the voice and aralyze it ,separat-
ing into it's different elements. The
vibratory motion in the fesonators
causes the small flames, susceptible to-
the slightest influence, to bob up and
down, and these fluctuations are pho
togra pied by horizontal wave lines.
The failure Of fluctuation in any one of
these flames indicates the absence Of
vibration in the resonator with which
it is connected, and the absence, there
fore, in the voice Of that oyertone.
which would cause the vibration. I'm
perfect huctuation shown in the pho
tograph would, Of course, indicate de-
iciency in that particular tone Of the
voice. From these photographs those
who understand the philosophy of
sound can readily determine the in
tenslty, pitch and general quality of a
voice which they have never heard,
and state the purposes for which it is
best suited.
They are invaluable in comparing
different voices and the same voice at
different times. They tell the exact
truth with regard to the qualities Of
the voice, picture the actual facts, and
leave 70 room for doubt or argument.

LAST DAYS OF PoaIPEI1.

IT Will BE Produced at St. Paul.
Mimi, During the Encanlpment.
One of the features Of the G. A. r. en-
campment will be the grand pyrotechnic
display known as the ''Last Days Of Pom
peii,' which was produced at the worlds
fair and has never been seen elsewhere In
its perfection except at Manhattan Beach,
n. Y. The management Of this spectacle
has been induced to produce it here during
encampment week. 1t is said that it re-
1uires twenty cars to transport the scenery
and apparatus used in giving the display.
The story Of the "Last Days Of Pompeii,'
as graphically described in the last chap
tiers Of Lord Lytton's celebrated book, is
wonderfully and wildly brought out in this
realistic work. It Is matter Of econgratu-
lation that visitors to st. Paul that week
may be permitted to see it.

 The Anniston Rifles have inaugura ted movement to place a monument over the grave of "the gallant Pelham" the brave young Confederate artilleryman, who sacrificed his life in his devotion to his beloved southland. Pelham lies buried in the Jacksonville cemetery. No tombstone marks his last resting place, and there is nothing about the grave at present to designate 1t as that of one of the south's bravest and most heroic youths in the great struggle of a third or century ago. The Rifles have been considering the matter for some time and have at last put the matter definitely on foot, with a committee, of which Capt. D. D. Mcleod is chairman, in charge. Among other means employed to raise the money to erect the monument, every military company in the south and every United Confederate Veterans camp will be allowed to make a small donation.
 Grading has already been commenced on the site of the cotton mill to be erect ed just south of Oxford by the Blue Spring Mill company and the buildings will be put up immediately.

Anti-Gambline Act Unheld.

Richmond, Va, April 29.-The court of appeals today passed upon the constitu- tionality of the Maupin anti-gambl.ng act, upholding it in all of its material features. Richard M. Lacey, the man ar rested for violating the law, was ordered to be discharged from custody on the ground that the judge erred in commit ting him to jail for trial by the court. The counsel for the prisoner contends that the Maupn law was repugnant to the constitution of Virginia, which re- quires the title of an act to embrace only one object; that it was repealed by implication by another and somewhat similar act, approved about the same time; that it was repugnant to the com merce clause of the constitution of the United States; that the warrant was vague and indefinite, and failed to state precisely what the prisoner was charged with, and that the justice should have fixed the puni nishment instead of commit ting the man for trial by the county court.
 The decision of the court is adverse to all of these contentious.
