Photographing Sound Waves.

Madison, Wis, March 24.-Prof. R.
W. Wood, of Madison, has succeeded
in making Photographs of waves of
sound in air.
The sound waye is the crack of an
electric spark, and it is illustrated and
photographed by means OF the light of
q second spark, which flashes between
two magnesium wires, at some distance
behind the first and at an interval of
one-tenth thousandth of second after
the first spark. The sound wave is
thus caught before it has gotten out of
the field of the instrument although
moving with velocity of a 1000 feet a
second. The wave appears as thin
circle of shadow with a light border,
being simply sectional view of the
rapidly diverging spherical shell of
condensed air constituting the sound.
By placing glass plate near the point
where the wave starts, the reflected
wave or echo has been photographed,
which appears as a circle with equal
but opposite curvature. These waves
were observed by Topler, q German
physicist, a number of years ago, but
they have never been photographed be-
fore.

IT WOULD BE SUICIDAL
Says Mexican Paper, to Arouse the Amer
ican Eagle.

City of Mexico, March 23. The Mex
ican papers continue to discuss Cecil
Rhodes imperial extension of the Uni
ted States, and Ell Nacional (moderate
liberaD says the excessive anti Yankee
spirit shown here is bad, as it may SOW
seeds of hatred that are not calculated
to occasion conference.
"To arouse the eagle" says Ell Ma
cional, without having means to con-
troll it when aroused, would be suicidal.
Mexico lives in peace with the United
States and has nothing now to COM
plain of in regard to that country. Our
interests lie in siren gthening those re-
lations in the future, or any rate not
to give pretext for'their being weakened
or broken off. In that harmony with
our powerful neighbors lies our safety
and on those lines ought our policy to
be shat ped" "
Even Ell TEMPO, the nservative or
gan. is beginning to see that the Span
ish paper of this city worried Rhodes
statements for their own ends, and says
"Really the remar ks of Rhodes have
been taken too seriously, for after all
they only represent the isolated opin.
ion and thogh it is the opinion of dub.
lie man, it has no great significance. A
general protest was made by the nation
against Rhodes affirmations and that
is enough" !"

WHAT TO DO
If You Should Be Caught in Hotel During
a Fire,

The first thing to do upon being
shown to room in hotel is to make
survey Of the Railways and the stair
ways and discover just where every
hall leads, just where every staircase
is, and what the chances are for es-
cape by particular Railways and stair
ways in case of fire. If the fire escapes
are placed at the ends of the halls,
learn their location, so that you can
find them in the dark.
In New York it is required by law
that there is a portable fire escape in
every room.
In case a guest is suddenly alarmed
by fire in hotel it behooves him to
keep his head. See that the door is
tightly closed; close and fasten the fan
light, and then go without delay for
the outside means of escape. Invaria-
bly, take the outside route if there is
one.
If there is rope in the room, and
man has wife or children with him,
he should first let them to the ground
by tying the rope around them and
lowering them carefully, allowing the
rope to slide out over the window sill.
After the women have been taken care
of go down the rope. This is simple
matter and anybody can do it. All that
is necessary is to take half turn
around the leg, keep the legs close to-
gether and allow the rope to slide along
the ball of The foot. This acts as q
brake, and the weakest man can come
from any height without difficulty.
Never try to come down hand under
hand.
In case it becomes necessary to try
the halls, stoop low to keep out of the
smoke and heat; don't get excited, and
invariably keep to the inside of stair
way.
If the flames are so advanced that
escape Dy the nails ana stalrWays is
impossible; if there is no rope in the
room, or if circumstances forbid the
use of the rope, get outside the win
dow below and hang to your own win
dow sill with your hands. Do not look
down, for you are apt to get dizzy and
fall. Above all things keep cool. Res
cue will be effected almost invariably if
these instructions are carried out. In
this city fremen are on hand almost as
soon.as the alarm is sounded, and if the
door of a!room is closed, the fanlight is
closed and the window is closed, it will
take an uncOmmonly swift fire to beat
the fire laddies to the person outside of
the window ledge, - Hugh Bonner,
Chief of New York Fire Department.

Augusta, Ga, March 23.-Augusta

er of the fund, has received a number
of subscriptions. People from all parts

from one to ten dollars, and it is under
stood that there are several much larger
amounts. The monument will cost not

Memorial Service for One of the Winslow's
Victims.

Washington, D. c., March 99-The

account of commemorative service
away off in Smyrna, Asia Minor, in

ABOUT OUR VOLUNTEERS
Col. ]. P. Fyffe Favors and Believes a Re-
organization May Be Necessary.

Much has been said lately to the ef-
feet that a provisional army would be or
ganized, but army officers in a position
to know claim that as soon as the regu-
lar army is recruited to its fu II quota,
the president will organize at least q
part OF the provisional army. 1t is said
further that if the fighing keeps up
much longer in Philippines, the entire
30, 900 men will be needed.
Col. J. P. Fyffe, former commander
Of the Third Tennessee regiment, who
has spent the past two weeks in Wash
ington, was asked what seemed to be
the opinion in Washington of the pro-
visional army organization. He said
"The general opinion in Washington
is that in course of two or three months
at least a part of the volunteer force
will have to be organized. The presi-
dent hopes to get along without it, in
order to save the treasury the money
necessary for such an army. The war
department, too, is very anxious to get
along without this great expense. 1t is
not favorably impressed with the SER
vice of the volunteers.
COL Fyffe called on the president
and secretary Of war both, while in
Warrington, in company with several
influential senator's and congressman,
aud presented his request to organize
one of the new regim ents. The secre-
tary of war took Col. Fyffe's papers
and had them filed away, assuring him
at the proper time they would be care
fully considered
Col. Fyffe also said to The News man
that the three East Tennessee congress-
men, Col. Brownlow, Judge Gibson
and Judge Moon, were exceedingly
we'll thaught of in Washington. As to the
leadership of the minority of the house,
since Bailey announced that he would
retire, Col. Fyffe said it looked as if
Congressman Richardson, of Tennes-
see, would be selected; that things
seem to tend in that direction. = Chatt.

A Living Memorial for Winnie Davis.

The Daughters of the Confederacy
will be interested in learning that an
other memorial to Winnie Davis is to
be established, and very soon. The
New York Journal tells the story as
follows:
"a memorial is to be raised to Win.
ME Davis, the Daughter of the Confed-
eracy, which will live not in marble,
like the beautiful tribute of the women
of the south, but as monument of
good deeds 1t is a home for the or
phan and destitute children and grand
children of the Confederate soldiers.
1t will be established at Luray, in the
valley of Virginia, a place made his
toric by so many incidents of the civil
war, notably Sheridan's famous cam
paign. The project was originated by
the ReY. DR.. H. M. Wharton, of Balti-
more, who has become widely known
on this continent in conjunction with
Dwight L. Moody, and has appeared
as an exhorter in Europe, Asia and Af-
RIGA.
"Dr. Wharton is already famous for
three orphanages that stand to his
credit-one for colored children, in
Charlotte, N. G. ;onefor white children
at the Willard Home, Ocean Grove, N.
j., and another at Luray. There, on
the great farm of $50 acres, the Winnie
Davis home. will will be built.
"All children under 12 years of age
will be received. In addition to a good
education, boys and girls alike will be
trained in some trade or occupation to
make them self-supporting. DR.. Whar-
ton is no believer in confning girls to
the domestic sciences. Telegraphya and
many another profession looked upon
as mans field will be invaded by those
whose tastes or abilities incline them
that way.
ALREADY popular interest has so far
developed in this charitable work that
a fund of $4,000 has been raised.
Thirty thousand is the requisite sum.
The recent resolution offered in Con-
gress to provide shelter for Confederate
soldiers in soldiers homes of the United
States was declined by the men of the
south.
'Mrs. Davis is preparing biography
of her daughter, the profits to go to the
Winnie Davis home.
"There are seven splendid cottages
already on the Luray farm, which DR..
Wharton calls his 'Whosoever Home.
Among the children are many orphans
of soldiers of the late war. The offer
to open these institutions to little ones
thus bereft brought DIR. Wharton,

Surgeon General Sternberg, Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, Annie Wheeler, the
daughter of Gen. Joe Wheeler, as well
as from the president himself. Many

enjoying that healthy training of mind
and body that the farm affords.
"The new building will be in cottage
form, likewise, and when completed
will contain paintings, photographs
and relics of tho south and the name Of

dorsed it are DIR. W. NJ. Polk, presi-
