In some of the large cities of Europe the principle of the reflection of sound is very ingeniously employed in locat- ing the position of inaccessible obstruc- lions in the pipes of the pneumatic tube service. Thus, when pipe is con- structed, diaphragm that is so thin as to vibrate instantly under the force of a sound wave is attached to the end of the pipe, and connected electrically with chronograph in such manner that when the diaphragm vibrates it will close the electric circuit and regis
 ter on the chronograph; pistol loaded with blank cartridge is then fired into the tube through an opening just below where the diaphragm is placed. When
 therefore, the shot is fired, the sound wave causes the diaphragm to vibrate and registers the exact time on the chronograph. The sound wave will travel along the tube until it meets the obstruction and will then be reflected back; on this reflected sound or echo returning to the end of the tube, it causes the diaphragm to vibrate again and make another registration on the chronograph, which by this simple op- eration will correctly indicate the exact interval of time required for the sound

Lord Wolseley, commander-in-chief of the British army, has publicly an- nounced that "the meteor flag of Eng land" will never again be carried into battle, in land fights at least. In pre- senting new colors to a regiment re- gently, he said: tIn future it would be madness and crime to order any man to carry colors into action. You might as well order him to be assassinated. The Germans carry the poles on which the colors used to be, so that they at tract no notice in action. We have had most reluctantly to abandon a practice to which we attached great importance, and which, under past and gone condi- tions of fighting, was invaluable in keeping alive the regimental spirit up- on which our British troops depended so much
