TAKING PHOTOS OF SOUND.
Have Recently Been Made
by Scientists.

Very much has been done in the way
of obtaining Photographic records of
sound, but perhaps the most impor-:
tant memoir on the practical side of
this question is an article by Benja-
min F. Sharpe, says scientific ex-
change. When an unmixed tone is re-
ceived in Helmholtz resonator, in the
wall of which is inserted a very thin
glass plate, the natural pitch of which
is not too different from the tone, the
plate vibrates to the tone with an
amplitude having an ultimate relation
to the energy of the tone. Measure
ment of this amplitude becomes easy
If the vibrating plate is made to bear a
tiny mirror, which mirror forms one
element of system of mirrors consti-
tuting Michelson's refractometer.
So delicate is this means of indication
that a shifting of the mirror half
wave length of light will cause such
shifting to one side of the interference
bands that each dark band will take
the position previously occupied by the
next dark band. With telescope and
micrometer each band may with prop
er adjustment be subdivided into 100
parts, giving q means of recording a
shift equal to as little as one two-hun-
dredth of a wave length. 1t need scarce
ly be said that the rapid shifts thus
produced by a tone can only be OBJ
served by some such device as COM
pounding the motion with another at
right angles. when comparison with a
tuning fork and the making of photo
graphic records becomes possible. but
for details, and for some two dozen
of the records thus obtained, we must
refer our readers TO Nature. The rec
ords show fork tones, tones of mu-
steal instruments, noises and vocal
sounds.

NEVER REApED A REWARD.
Inventor of the Motor Car Died Poor
and Neglected Amidst the
Plenty of Paris.

On January "a, 1860, NJ Lenoir, a
chemist, was granted a patent for a mo-
tor driven by an explosive mixture OF
air and gas. He even used electric ig-
milton. obtained from a battery and
Ruhmkoef coil, and actuating a spark
ing plug very similar to the style in
vogue to-day. He employed coal gas
at first, but in his specification said
that he could use other gases, or even
produce a gas at the requisite mo-
ment from hydro-carbon liquids, there
by foreshadowing the employment OF
petroleum. The system of valves, by
means of which the suction of the
piston drew in the charge of gas for the
next explosion. was also designed by
Lenoir. and still remains the govern
ing principle in explosion engines. So
that in 40 years that have elapsed since
Lenoir's motor there have been few
radical changes.
In 1852 he produced a car driven by
one of his motors, and this accom-
plished some short trips in the. streets
of Paris, after which, for some reason,
it made no further progress. He
seemed to have no luck, his invention
was premature and beyond the graft
fication of his hobby he had no appre.
citation
Fifteen years went by before an
other man attempted motor car again,
and it was not till 1887 that Daimler
produced his first car, which, to do
him justice, was the earliest of the
really practicable vehicles.
Poor Lenoir lived to see the motor in
dustry attain enormous dimensions, to
see honors and wealth heaped on other
men, and died in humble circumstances
without honor or reward.

The prejudice in Germany and Aus
tria against our fruit is likely to be
of long duration. Something known
as the San Jose scale has infected our
fruits. They say you can see one of
these little creatures on the next
lemon that you buy. provided, of
course, that the lemon has on it q
tiny black speck. Examine the speck
under a strong magnifying glass. and
you will discover the cause of all our
recent commercial woes - small
creature with legs, wings and anten-
nae. He is a most pestiferous and dan
gerous element in the world, being
difficult to get rid OF, and evil in all his
habits. He takes the life out of what
ever he lives on. He draws the Juice
from the trees, SO that they wither
and die, and he propagates with great
rapidity. No way of getting rid of him
has yet been discovered. - Harper's
Bazaar.

Prof. Wright, of Netley. recommends
olive oil, heated to the frying temper
allure, for the sterilizing of hypoder-
mic syringes and other surgical instru-
ments. Dipping in boiling water is not
sufficient. because the boiling temper
ature is so little above that which is
fatal to microbic life that . long ex-
posture to it is necessary to make the
process effective. But oil at q temper
allure of 800 to $50 degrees Fahrenheit
sterilizes instantly. When the proper
temperature has been attained, .

heavy loads on ordinary thorough
fares as encouraging, though the mat
ter still requires much study and ex-
pertinent. At one of the trials the
loads carried by the different wagons
varied from two to five tons, and the
conditions of the test were that the
vehicles should be able to go anywhere
that similar ones drawn by horses
could go. The test was moderately
well sustained, and it was demonstrate
ed there were no OBSTACLES to the ul-
