It will be remembered that Queen

The message created a marked i'm
preston on his majsty. The royal
words we're delivered on Sunday, the

tones of her majestys voice were repro
duced with remarkable clearness, and
Menelek was SO pleased that nothing
would satisfy him but to hear the mes
sage at least a dozen times. First he
would listen to the words as they came
from the trumpet of the phonograph,
and then he would use the ear tubes.
When his curiosity and delight had
been satisfied, he relapsed into solemn
silence and ordered the royal salute,
and remained standing while seventeen
guns we're fired. Menelek himself has
tried to send message by the phono-
graph, SO that he appreciates the diff
Guilty of securing a satisfactory record.

glass pickle bottle is required, and the
outside of it must be covered with pa
per or painted black. You also require
a walnut and few feet of very thin
glass tubing.
First partly fill the jar with water
and then cork the bottle tightly with
large cork, through which two holes,
large enoughato admit the glass tub
ing, have been bored. Divide your tub
ing into three parts and place one
through the cork into the bottle, but
not touching the water. Another part
is to be pushed through the cork and
into the center of the liquid. Now take
one-half walnut shell, and bore in the
bottom of it small hole and affix it
to the top of the piece of tubing which
is not touching the water. The other
half shell is to have a similar hole in
the center, and the tubing which goes
into the water is to be pushed through
it, leaving about one-quarter of an inch
protruding from the bottom of the
she'll, as shown in the diagram. A
second hole is now to be cut in this
shell and the third piece of tubing in
serted, just as shown in the illustra-
ton. All joints should then be sealed
up with wax.
Now, if some elaret be gently poured
into the shell marked A, the air in the
bottle will force the water up the other
tube into the shell, B, where it will
find its level and run out of the third
tube Thus wine is poured into the
bottle and water comes out. The bot
tie must be coated with black or paper
in order that the water inside is not
seen. In the illustration an ordinary
glass bottle is shown in order to clear
ly define the arrangements of the
tubes.

Walking ON Water.

There is a man in Berlin who sur
prises onlookers by exhibiting himself
walking on the River Spree. He uses
water shoes, not unlike snowshoes, they
being about twelve feet long and no
broader than his foot. The shoes are,
however, not broad pieces of wood, but
hollow zinc cylinders, tapering to a
point at each end, the feet being strap
ped to the centers. Along the bottoms
of each shoe five square flaps are hing
ed at right angles to the length of the
shoe. The hinges of the flaps allow
them to bend backward but not for
ward, so that when he moves one foot
forward through the water the flaps
beneath that shoe swing back and lie
fiat, offering no resistance to the move
ment, while the flaps on the other shoe
remain vertical and resist to some ex-
tent the tendency of that foot to slide
back. By this means, though every
forward step involves a slight slide
backward, he shufaes along with sur
prising speed and safety.-Philadelphia

CURRENT NOTES OF DISCOVERY
AND INVENTION. .@
"A Mtuhon Million--The Probable Age of
the World-Turning Wine Into Water,
an Experiment-Electric a Puri-
fec-Saluting Phonograph. -:
A Million Million.

Prof. Wagstaff, whose very name
suggests a pleasing first cousinship to
Shakespeare, has lately been amusing
himself and his audience at Gresham
College by speculations as to what
might have happened if the father OF
'our human race had given up delving
and taken to figures. Let us suppose
that Adam had set himself to count
million million, or, in figures, 1,OOO,-
0O0,0O0,00O. We will imagine that he
could count three in a second, which,
though not exactly rapid ciphering,
will be found ample, if taken continu-
ously. Now, if 5000 years have elapsed
since the gracious amenities of Eden
formed the cradle of humanity, Adam
would have been working for 1S9, ,216,-
600 seconds, and have reached a total
OF. 567, 4S,Q00,000 figures. In other
words, his task of counting a million
millions would still have been unac-
complished by over 400,000,000,000 of
digits.
All of which goes to prove what?
There are many possible conclusions.
The first is, Of course, that Prof. Wag-
staff is a very ingenious and by no
means melancholy mathematician, but
that hardly needed proof. A second de-
ductlon, which we advance with all hu-
mility, is that if Adam had only had
haDltual recourse to harmless dissipa-
tion of this arithmetical kind, instead
OF betraying marital weakness and a
fondness for fruit his descendants
would have been very much better off
morally and spiritually, though not,
perhaps, in material comforts. And a
third conclusion, eminently gratifying
to those who refuse to believe that
there is any serious discord between
religion and science, is that Prof. Wag-
staH, no doubt man of distinction in
scientific attainments, accepts without
any demur Bishop Ussher's chronol-
ogy.
According to the divine, the world
was created in 1904 B. c., and that
elapsed since the Christian era, makes
in round numbers the six thousand
years on which the whole calculation
depends. Some wayward scientists
have dogmatically affirmed that the
world has been wagging along a good
many more centuries than USHER sup
posed, although there is a serious diff
ference, it is true, in his matter be-
tween the astronomers and the geol-
ogists. So, after all, perhaps if Adam
had been reasonably Industrious, he
would have had time to accomplish his
task, unless his brain had given way
under the strain. Most of us have
such vague ideas as to the meaning
of larger figures that it is as we'll to be
reminded by so happy an illustration
how many units go to the making of
a million. The only other conceivable
fashion in which such instruction could
be acquired is to become South Afri-
can boss" of mines and diamonds, and
that process, much as we may desire it,
is, fortunately or unfortunately, not
open to the majority of us.-London
Telegraph.
