MADISON (Wis.), March 24-Profes-
sor r. w. Wood of Madison has sue
ceeded in making photographs of
waves Of sound in the air. The sound
wave is a crack of an electric spark
and it is Illuminated and photograph
ed by means of the light of a spark
which flashes between two magnesium
wires at some distance behind the
first and at an interval Of about one
of a second after the
first spark. The sound was thus
caught before it had got out of the
field of the instrument, although NOV
ing at a velocity of 1000 feet a sec
ond.
The wave appears as a thin circle OF
shadow with a light border, being sim
ply a sectional view of the rapidly di-
|verging spherical she'll of air constitut-
ing the sound wave. By placing a
glass plate near the point where the
wave starts the reflected wave or echo
has been photographed, which appears
las circle with equal but opposite cur
Nature. These waves were observed
by TOPPER, a German, a number OF
years ago, but they have never been
photographed before

AFFAIRS IN CUBA
Feasting and Rejoicing in
Honor of Gomez.
He is the Lion Of the Hour-A Re-
petition Of HObSOn-What the
Residents Think.

The following extracts from a letter
received by Deputy Clerk a. p Taylor
of the Circuit Court from a young
Spanish lady in Havana, Cuba, where
Mr.. Taylor once resided, show the re-
narkable changes that have been and
are still taking place in that famous
city since its occupation by the United
States troops:
After our return from Spain we
found the (Cuban) war still raging,
but little later something more Sc
rious was spoken of, and that was that
the Americans were coming to help
the Cubans; So on the 23rd of April
We were blockaded; then began peri
cd Of great anxiety, expecting every
moment to be bombarded, but we es-
capped, as you know all the fighting was
in Santiago.
Then came the news of its capitu-
lation after the loss of all our Spanish
warships. l was very much frightened
at first, but our English Consul, Mr..
us advised of what we were to do in
case of bombarding; food was getting
very scarce toward the end and the
lpoor were dying by thousands. but
alton begun, and l am glad to say it
lis ended
'fOn the first Of last month Janu-
larry. 1890, we have witnessed a most
Isolemn and historical act, the change
of flag that had been flying over this
Island ever since it had been discovered
which had to be lowered for its abuses
to this beautiful Isle, and placing in its
Istead the glorious and victorious Stars
and Stripes. l hope and trust we will
now progress and that our beautiful
Island under a good and sensible gov
eminent will again become the beau
tiful Pearl of the Antilles
1--WE are now february having
great feastings and rejoicings in honor
of the Cuban General Maxine Gomez,
who arrived in Havana on the oath,
land it WAS quite coincidence that this
day should be the anniversary of the
first cry of war; so there are balls,
banquets and receptions going on. On
the day of his arrival there was a
grand manifestation. / don't think the
people have ever been so enthusiastic
and patriotic Girls would stop him in
the streets and make any amount of
fuss over him; he is quite the lion of
the hour-quite a repetition Of Hob
son He is going on TO Washington to
see about the payment of the troops.
Il must confess / did feel very sorry
when they took down the Spanish Flag
forever, as it must he, as / am very
fond Of the Spanish people, being such
a little Spaniard myself, and felt great
sympathy for their loss, but I think
it was all for the best, with the Amer
leans in control, and l trust they may
always keep this great treasure Of an
Island, it being too good to be govern
ed by a lot of ignorant people who do
not understand great affairs and have
had no experience at all.

The commissioners have fixed
tax levy Of 1895 for Lincoln Coun
~, that sounds we'll for our econom
ical populist government, when We
consider that the tax rate for 1898
was 1892; but wait Il moment, un.
der the new laws passed last win
ter, by our Legislature, the assessed
valuation OF ranch property, stock
etc. has been nearly doubled, and
consequently the rancher and stock
raiser has to pay 1896 per $1.00 on
double the amount OF property that
he paid 1882 per 800 on last
year. AS for instance, the man
who paid $3.50 taxes on a $500
ranch IN 1898 will, this year, pay
1880 on the same ranch, or an
increase per 800 on the sexual
value of his property, Of little
over As per cent. Our Legislators
passed laws at their last session, in
tended to benefit the taxpayers OF
the different counties throughout
the state. A salary bill was pass
ed for the ayowed purpose Of doing
away with the exorbitant sums
received by our county officers un-
der the fee system, but what have
we gained by the new law? Sim
ply this, that only in one or two
cases have tho fees collected been
sufficient TO pay the expenses Of the
various officers, and in addition to
up the deficiencies called
for By the various expense bills,

1T is wrong to charge imperialism
on those who believe that it is best
policy TO retain the islands. The
terms expansion and 'anti-expans-
ion easily may become misleading.
There are many who believe in ex-
pansion but who do not believe In
general land grabbing, as is the pol
icy Of England and even Germany.
| do not know of any American
who believes in land grabbing. 1t
does not seem to me to imply any
change in the policy, spirit or prin-
cipie Of the American republic to
retain the Philippine islands.
There was no such cry of danger to
the republic when we bought AL

RAISING, but an easier way than the
one proposed, would DO to take
few OF the populist leaders in hand
and, by a few we'll placed promises
of Office, induce them to name a
day, later than the one they want
for themselves, and this could be
done without giving the Populist
sympathisers, unnecessary offence.

reasonable man is sure that Bryan
