Death of Edwin Tam.

Little Edwin Mann, infant son of s.
H. and Mary Il. Mann, died Wednes.
day morning at 0 o'clock at the family
home in this city, of pneumania, aged
twenty mouths.
The remains of the precious darling
were laid to rest III the Forrest City
Cemetery yesterday morning at $3.50
o'clock, Rev. A. L. Holloway, of the
Methodist chnreh, conducting appro-
pirate ceremonies.
Edwin was smart boy, and had
reached that most interesting age at
which children attract so much atten-
ton by their cute sayings, and entwine
themselves around TIE hearts of the en-
tire household. He was bright and
CHEEKY, and constant pleasure to the
family, But the Lord has given and
the Lord has taken away; incompre-
hensible are the ways of the Lord
blessed be His name. though another
home is made desolate and the fond
hearts of devoted parents and relatives
are lxcerated and torn by His mystic
ri0us providence. In their sorrow THE
TINES participates, and extends them
its sincere sympathy.

part Of wisdom TO seek additional
markets. This is called CONNER
cial expansion, called by the re-
dictionaries "imperiali M" ard an
effort is made to spread the idea
that only the merchant and manu-
featuring classes would be bene-
fitted by it. But reflection will
demonstrate that any policy which
will furnish consumers will create
a demand for the article consumed +,
and enhance its value in the hands
of the original producers, and that
the merchants or middle men re-
ceive about the same in commits
sions, insurance, transportation,
etc, whether the price of cotton is
high or low. The producer re-
ceiyes the first and direct benefit.
1t is wise, therefore, to seek tho

worlds population live, and who
have hitherto been strangers to us.

see that the cotton market along

pressed, and that if q market for
the surplus is found it must be
sought in new territory,

PHOTOGRAPHIC SOUND.
Professor WebSterS Remarkable Instruments Converts
Sound Waves Into Curves of Light

, Newton's rings. because Sir Isaac
Newton first investigated their phe-
nomena. This principle of infection
then and q modification of the instru-
ment used in producing Newton
rings are used in the new apparatus
for measuring sound. Within a small
Square box. Professor Webster has
placed several mirrors and prisms in
such 2 manner that Newton's rings
Will be projected against moving
sensitive Photographic plate. On one
side of the box is a slobe-Shaped
resonator, inside of which is a sensitive
diaphraghm, made of a very thin glass
plate. The slightest sound will cause
this diaDhraghm to vibrate. On the
inner side of the diapraghm is attached
very small circular mirror, weighing
a fraction OF a gramme. When a
sound, however sliGht. enters the res
onatOr or receiver of the instrument,
the diaDraghm, and, consequently, the
small mirror. vibrate backward and
forward, and q small beam of light is
sent careening about among the other
mirrors and the -risms and is made
finally to resolve itself intoa ser.es of
colored fringes. These fringes are pro-
jected through q series of Sits in a
screen, until. by the time the light
reaches the Photographic plate, it
takes the form of a waving line. This
waving line is projected on a screen
by means of a lantern, and may be
viewed, if necessary, by a number Of
persons at once, as during the meeting
of the American Association for the
Advancement &C Science. So, as Pro-
lessor Webster jocularly remarked, a
deaf man easily might distinguish the
difference between the sounds, while
a blind man could not.
Some really startling results were
shown on the screen. Thus the Vibra-
tions produced by g. tuning fork
were shown in the form of very regular
waves across the screen. Some vowel
sounds projected into the receiver were
depicted in a very irregular waving
line, showing that it is impossible for
any .,erson to hold the voice evenly
while oronouncing a letter or word.
This is a point for singers and mu-
sicians generally to ponder over. A
draught in the room produced an
effect which resulted in SER
les Of rather irregular curves having a
downward trend. Silence manifested
itself in a series of very regular fine
waving lines. Ability to hear or see
silence might occasion some surprise,
but the record proved simply that there
were sounds in the atmosphere which
the human ear could not hear. Lord
Rayleigh, after some experimentation
determined that we are capable of
hearing sounds of an intensity less
than e-millionth of an atmosphere.
Some idea of the capabilities of this
new instrument may be gained from
the fact that the little mirror men
toned above will move backward and
forward over even so slight a distance
as LOO, 900 of an inch.
Professor Webster's new machine
may prove of great scientific value. 1t
has recorded a sound of one six-mil-
licnth os an atmosphere at a distance
of twenty feet. AT forty-five feet that
same sound. then reduced to one
twelve millionth of an atmosphere, was
recorded On the other hand, the sound
