An Interes ling Experiment. With a
Very Delicate Instrument.

Some experiments were recently
repG rted TO the British Physical Soci-
ETY. that were remarkable for the APP
paratus employed as for the results
finally attained. The object of the in
quiry was to ascertain the extent of
the vibration of the diaphragm in a
telephone receiver. and thus TO deter
mine whether the sheet of metal
moved as a whole, or had only what
the experts call molecular motion"
In order to obtain the desired in
formation exceedingly delicate
method was used. To the tubular ex-
terror of the receiver was attached
opposite the center of the diaphragm
& screw whose threads were only
half a millimetre, or one fftieth of
ar inch apart. Then the head of the
screw-it must have been rather
large-was graduated at the edge, so
that so small a fraction of rotation
as $4,000 could be detected. The tip
of the-screw did not impinge directly
upon the diaphragm A system of
levers was introduced between them
which minimized the motion in the
ratio to a hundred Hence one sub
division of the head of the screw rep
resented movement toward or away
from the diaphragm of 1-25 millionth
of inch. That is getting it down
rather fine, but that is the scale of
measurement actually employed.
1t is essential, of course, to know
both when the screw touched the sur
face of the diaphragm and when it
did not. To detect a separation of
less than 1900 of an inch with the
eye was out of the question Hence
electricity was resorted to- If the
the diaphragm and screw tip were
placed in circuit and galvanometer
was also associated with them the
needle of the instrument would re-
main stationary as long as the screw
did not touch the diaphragm, but
when contact is made the needle
would be detected
The extent of the vibrations meas
ured, might be expected. varied
according TO the words uttered and
the voice with which they were spok-
en- 1t was thus found, for instance,
that I.'uncomfortab BILE" produced a
movement of 40 miIlionths of an inch
while comfortable" move the dia-
phragm only ? miliionths of an inch
Sounds that were audible (but posi-
bly, not articulate) disturbed the di-
aphragm only Is bilfionths of an
inch.

County Court.

Wednesday OF last week was occupied
by the local case OF w E. Buskett and

for the plaintiff to recover $40 %.
The most important case of the week
and in fact, in the eyes of the jury, the
most important financially of the term
was the case OF 7. R. Miles and Charles

of the plaintiff was that on a certain
evening in the tall of 1899, in company
with George Clapp he was driving along
the streets of Lyndon, and run upon
pile OF dit beside the road, tipping the
vehicle over and breaking the plaintiffs
leg. The dirt was placed there by the
defendant who was putting in system
of water works at the time. The jury
returned verdict of $500 and costs tor
plaintiff. The attorneys Tor the plaintiff
were Bates, May and Simonds. George
NJ. Powers of Morrisville was selected to
appear for Col. Woodbury., but he was
unable to attend and his case was
handled by Alexander Dunnett and Raw.
