The Piano of the Future.

No more hammers in pianos. The old
fashioned method of pounding music
ont of wires by the aid of wonderfully
complicated system of levers and keys.
which all the world thought to be the
ultimate perfection for the production
of that sort of tone, has been branded as
a back number.
DIR. Richard Eisemann of Berlin, for
years a pupil of Professor Won Helm
holtz, has patented system which does
away with the levers entirely. He calls
this new appliance the electrophonic
piano, its distinctive principle consist
ing in the fact that the vibrations of
the chords are not produced by ham,
mers, but by an electric current and by
means of microphones acting as inter.
rnpters of currents.
All the delicate and complex mechan-
ism of the old piano is done away with.
The little electric devices are arranged
ON the crosspiece extending over the
strings. Upon this electric magnets are
placed so as to be only hairs breadth
from the strings.
Pressing down the key sends the cleo
trio current into the corresponding cleo
tromagnet. This attracts the metallic
string below, but the microphone inter
rupts the current and Herewith the at
traction. The string returns to its for
mer place, and this continued attraction
and interruption of the current are car
ried on, the number of vibrations being
regulated by the pitch of the string.
The high sounds produced by this
method have decided harp tone, and
the lower and middle registers suggest
the cello or the organ. In reality, the
Installation Of this new system creates

qualities Of sound produced BY the new
method and the old. New York Jour

The Gravitation Theory.

In one of his lectures before the Low
ell institute, Boston, recently Professor
G. F. Wright combated the superstition
that the conclusions of modern physical
science are free from difficulties and
clear of all doubt. Instead of such be-
ing the case. science, he declares, is lead
ing deeper and deeper into mysteries
and substituting instead Of single mys-
teries an ever increasing multitude for
each one. He instanced in illustration
the Newtonian theory of grayitation as
involving paradoxes TO this day pnex-
planned, arguing that if bodies act mp
on each other at a distance without any
Intervening medium then a thing can
act where it is not, which iss an absurd
|ity, while, on the other hand, if there
is material medium filing all space,
and a gravity is transmitted through
that by a push rather than by a pull,
then the transmission ought to occupy
some appreciable time, but this it does
not do, and at any rate, il its action is
not absolutely instan olneous, its yeloci-
" must be at least fifty million times

the ONLY WHITE BUFFALO
Seen and Chased by Indians and Hunters,
but Never Caught.

Seen and Chased by Indians and Hunters,
but Never Caught.
During the summer of 1875 bands of
Indians returning from a hunt far out
on the plains brought in stories of hav-
ing seen at different times and in differ
ent places. and always in the center of
a large herd, white buffalo. They had
used their best horses in the effort to
overtake it TO no purpose, never being
able to get anywhere near the animal

to these stories. but still it kept crop

Red Deer river ard was camped near a
large band of Blackfeet, who were hunt
ing south of that river. The buffaloes had
moved north in vast numbers, and the
prairie was black with them.
/ had gone out one morning with q
party of Blackfeet to see one Of their
hunts, and also to try and kill for my
self. My horse was a good one and much
faster than any belonging to the Indian
hunters. / had got detached from the
party, becoming tired of the slaughter,
and must have been at least 90 miles
from camp, when I made for small
clump of timber not far off, intending
to build fire and roast portion OF

band of about 100 animals burst out OF
the brush and made off to the south.
and, yes, most certainly, in the middle
of them was white buffalo. Although
they were quarter of mile away,
there could be no mistake about it. He
was there as large as life and quite
white and running like deer. There
was no time to much more than take in
the scene, but gathered up the reins
and was after him, determined to bag
that buffalo or kill my horse.
Oh, what race it was, mile after
mile! And, although all the band, with
the exception of about dozen, had
split off and gone in different direc-
tions, the white animal, with his body
guard Of about dozen kept at about
the same distance ahead. could catch
a glimpse of him now and then, and
there was no doubt he was snow white.
Get within shot I could not for many
miles. At last they began to tire, and,
although my horse tired also, I had
good hopes Of coming up and getting a
shot. Alas, for such a chancel Of a
sudden my horse lurched forward on

THE TONE OF THE BELL
wos Inproved by the Use of Gold or Silver
In the Bell Metal. YAK.

Not Improved by the Use of Gold or Silver
In the Bell Metal. M
There is a general belief that the in
PRODUCTION of silver or gold in the cast
sng of bell assures for it a superior
tone, but an expert in founding bells
saws that such belief is erroneous. He
says that the best tone effect in bell
metal is confined within very narrow
limits, for any so called bell metal hav-
ing more than 80 parts copper to 20
parts tin is too soft to produce the best
quality of tone, while that having more
tin than 80 parts in the 100 is much
too brittle. There are bells in Europe
whose clear tones were for many years
credited to gold and silver, that were
supposed to have been added to the bell
metal. An analysis was made not long
ago of the metal in one of these bells,
and it failed to show any trace of gold
or silver. The old German bell found
ars used to make their bells of 80 parts
copper to 20 parts tin. In the opinion
Of this expert the strongest and best
toned bell is obtained from IS parts
copper and 81 parts tin.
''After the bell is drawn =" says the
expert, 1.-TWO sweeps are made and adj
5usted to an upright spindle in the CEN
Ter of an iron case or flask, the flask
having perforations all over it. Over
the surface of the flask is coated, wet,
q layer of loan of equal and suitable
thickness and baked. Then another lay
er is coated on and baked, and SO on,
layer after layer, until the proper shape,
etc. are secured. There are two such iron
moiding cases, one fitting over the 9th
er. The under one has the loan coating
ON its outer side, which has the inner
shape of the proposed bell. The upper
iron molding case or flask has the loan
on its inner surface, forming the out
side shape of the bell. This is let down
over the under mold and carefully adj
justed equally all around, leaving a
space inside between the two molds.
The under flask is called the core. The
upper or outer one is called the case. The
space is filled up by the molten bell
metal, which. when cooled, is the bell.

its mechanical excellence and adjust
ment. Then, if it appears to be good in
all points, it is shipped to, the purchaser.
The making and shipping of a bell usu-
ally require from 10 to l o days in the
smaller sizes. The larger sizes. e.,
from 1900 pounds and heavier-require
more time. A peal of three or more
bells requires from 40 to so days time,

qnires from three to six months.
