PICTURES OF SOUND.
The Human Voice or Musical Notes
May BE Photographed I'm
Simple Manner.

To take a picture Of your voice it is
only necessary to tie a sheet OK thin
strong paper over the haring end Of
an old tin horn. Hold the horn with
the sheet Of paper upward Take
little pinch Of fine sand and place it
in the center Of the paper. Then hold
The horn vertically above your face and
sing a note into the lower end Of the
instrument. Do not blow, but sing the
note. Now lower the horn carefully
and look at the sand. You will find that
the vibrations Of your voice have scat
tered the pinch of sand into a beauti-
ful sound picture. Every note in dhe
musical scale will produce q different
picture 50 you may pFpduce a great
variety of them. Some efdhese pictures
look like pansies, roses and other flow
ers. some look like snakes, and others
like flying birds; in fact, there is no
limit to the variation. The pictures
of the notes Of musical Instruments are
made by holding the horn as. near 'as
possible to them.
As stated above, sand may be used.
but lycopodium powder will produce
even better effects. Lycopodium pic
lures may be fixed" by first dissolving
the powder in alcohol and then placing
drop Of the fluid on the paper. But
you must be quick about it. The alco-
hol eyaporates in few seconds, so you
must make the sound in the horn as
soon as you have deposited the drop
The small amount of liquid Will not
prevent the powder in it from spread
ing When it has spread, however, ii
will stick the picture in its place en- the
paper. which may then be taken of the
horn and preserved.
You may thus obtain pictures Of the
voices Of all your friends. Common
gum iragicanth with a little alcohol in
It also makes good pictures. If you
wish 10 see the pictures while they are
being made. you may employ an old
farirg bell-shaped ear trumpet. or you
may use your old horn with a short
piece Of rubber tubing on the mouth
