THE BATTLE HYMN.

LEGATION of the Battle Hymn of the
Republic" when, after thirty-three
years of peace, the American Nation
takes up arms for the freedom of the
oppressed IN Cuba.
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the
coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where
the grapes of wrath are stored!
He has Ioosed the fateful lightning Of
his terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
have seen him in the watch fires of
a hundred circling camps:
They have builded him an altar in the
evening dews and damps;
have read his righteous sentence by
the dim and fiaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
I have read a fiery gospel writ in
FURNISHED rows of steel;
LAS ye deal with my contemners, so
Win you my grace snail deal:
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush
the serpent with his heel;
Since God is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that
shall never call retreat;
He is sitting out the hearts of men be-
fore his judgment seat;
Oh be swift, my soul, to answer him!
be jUbilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was
born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom, that trans
figures you and me;
AS he died to make men holy, let us
die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

I am on to the hardest kind Of toe
dancing. They thought that naturally
l must have developed great strength
In my big toes and that the photograph
would show the exact position Of the
toe in this class Of dancing.
r.. THE professor was delighted with
what the photograph showed. He
pointed out to me that, besides proving
that the big toe did not bend at all,
was poised right on the point of it; and
other interesting features of the diff
ferent bones were shown. The bones of
the instep, for instance, look as if they
had been opened, and when he saw
TIT at the ankle the bones were sep
arated he expressed wonderment that
the ankle did not slip out of place
When 1 put on ny little satin ballet
slippers the professor stopped over and
felt my foot. He said he had always
supposed that ballet dancers shoes
were lined with some stiff substance
in order to give rightly to the dancers
foot, and he felt mine in order to prove
or disprove his idea. He was surprised
to find that they were just satin, lined
with canvas, with a narrow strip of
leather for soleS. In the photograph
you can see the two tiny Unlike nails
with which the sole is fastened to the
canvas and slight trace of the rib
bon with which the slippers are fast
ened above the ankle.
cit might interest you to know that
during the season l use up slippers at
the rate of two pairs week, and am
never without from two to three dozen
reserve pairs in my wardrobe. You
see the satin wears out and you can't

rather awkward, and because of the

New Zealand, Borneo. Madagascar, the
Sandwich Islands, Malacca and New
Holland. Our attention of late has
been attracted to the natives of the
Philippines, Carolines and the La
droneS.
The natives Of the Philippines are Of
various origin. The chief savage
tribes occupying the mountain districts
are the Negritos, who are doubtless of
the African race and primitive inhab-
itants Of the archipelago. Long be-
fore the Europeans had reached these
islands the primitive natives had
been driven into the mountains by the
Visayans and Tagalas, the leading ma
lions of the group. They have brown
compilations and are classed with the
Malay race. OF the total population

inclined to favor Blumenbach's divi-
sion of the races into five classes-the
Caucasian, or European; the Mon
han, or Asiatic; the Malayan, or Poly
nesian; the negro. or African; the In
dian. or American. No one who has
intellectual vision will be inclined to
believe that all have the same con-
tour of skull. We, therefore, illustrate
our remarks by showing the different
characteristics Of the various races and
nationalitieS.
The Caucasian race has many varie-
ties; is adapted to the temperate zone
and Western world, and so long as it
maintains it's present characteristics it
will remain, as il always has been, at
the head of creation.
The Americans embrace the peculiar
tiles of all the other nations, and are
active, energetic, enterprising, inven-
tive, courageous, witty, imaginative
and progressive. The Scotch are eau
tious, plodding, economical and stu
dious. The Irish are excitable loqua-
cious, oratorical witty, familiar and
versatile. The Welsh are Industrious,
enthusiastic, economical and talented
Phrenologically speaking, the Cauca-
SLAMS include all of the foregoing, have
large conscientiousness, firmness, self
esteem, secretiveness, acquisitiveness
benevolence, veneration, alimentive-
ness and the social and perceptive fac
ulties.
The Spanish type presents distinct
characteristics. The framework is
compact the stature tall and erect, the
frontal lobe high, but not broad. The

the edge or back of a razor or block
of marble or a bubble of air in glass
is in each case affected the same way.
This is because light always is in
Elected or, more properly speaking, re-
fracted when it passes by the edges Of
bodies But it is rarely observed in
ordinary circumstances, because when
light comes from various directions the
colors composing it overlap and are
reduced to whiteness. Any transpar-
ent substance of excessive thinneSs re-
fleets brilliant colorS. Examples are
seen in thin laminae of air occupying
cracks in glass and ice and the inter-
stices between plates of mica, also in
thin films of oil on water and alcohol
on glass, but most remarkably in soapy
water blown into very thin bubbles.
The same effect is produced If lens
Of slight convexity is laid on a plane
lens, and the two, after being placed
together by screw, are viewed by re-
fected light. Rings Of color may be
seen ranged around the point of con-
tact. The smallest rings are broadcast
and most brilliant, and each one con-
tains the colors of the spectrum in their
order. These are commonly called
Newton's rings, because Sir Isaac
Newton first investigated their pheno-
mena- This principle of infection then
and a modification of the instrument
used in producing Newton's rings are
used in the new apparatus for measur-
ing sound. Within small square box
Professor Webster has placed several
mirrors and prisms in such a manner
that Newton's rings will be projected
against a moving sensitive photogra-
phic plate.
On one side Of the box is a globe
shaped resonator, inside of which is a
sensitive diaphragm made of a very
thin glass plate. The slightest sound
will cause this diaphragm to vibrate.
On the inner side of the diaphragm is
attached a very small circular mirror
weighing a fraction of a gram. When,
a sound however slight, enters the
resonator or receiver of the instrument
the diaphragm and consequently the
small mirror vibrate backward and for
ward and small beam of light is sent
careening about among the other mir
rors and the prisms and is made finally
to resolve itself into series of colored
fringes. These fringes are projected
through a series of Sits in a screen I'M
til by the time the light reaches the
Photographic plate it takes the form Of
waving line. This waving line is pro-
jected on screen by means Of a Ian
tern and may be viewed if necessary by
a number of persons at once.

into numerous tribes, which have their

type of the Caucasian race. His brain
is large and more fully developed in
the frontal and lateral regions of the
head than in the occipital globe; con-
seQuently he has large reflective, reas-
oning, ingenious and musical faculties,
which give him his metaphysical, ma
terialistic and constructive abilities
His veneration is not so large as his
conscientiousness, benevolence, self

of character, but GOODNESS in times of
danger, together with great energy and
firmness.
