Fill a glass vessel with lampblack,
colored silk or worsted. Focus the rays
of the sun in a lens-that is, hold
magnifying glass so that the rays pass
through it before they fall on the glass
vessel. Then revolye in the light, be-
tween the lens and the vessel, a disk
with On opeping or slit in it so that the
light is alternately falling on the YES
sci and being shut out. Now listen, and
you will hear noise when the light
passes through the slit, but there will
be silence when it is shut out. You
must place your ear close to the glass
holding the silk or other substance.
Another experiment is to use prism
instead of an ordinary lens. This makes
q rainbow, and as the rays pass
through the slit it is possible to tell
that some parts of the solar spectrum
as it is called-produce a sound as they
fall on the glass vessel, while other
parts have no effect.

In an English paper there appeared
recently the veracious story of two
brothers who lived in the Rocky noun
tains. They had two rifles, one bullet
and keg Of powder. With this outfit
they managed to kill on an average
twepty-seven head of buffalo a day.
The way they managed was this: Broth
er No. l would stand on .one size of a
buffalo and shoot through it, the bullet
going into the barrel of the rife of
Brother No. 2, who stood on the other
side Then Brother No. would fire
through the next buffalo into the rifle
of Brother No. 1, and so on until the
days sport was over.
Some one who saw this story has
written to say that he is acquainted
with a man, a cousin, he thinks, Of the
two mentioned, who also lived in the
Rocky mountains at one time. He had
one rifle, one bullet and a keg Of pow
der, yet he managed to kill thirty head
of buffalo day-buffaloes were plenty
then-and the way he did it was this:
He was not only champion shot, but
a champion runner, and when he fired
through buffalo he would run around
and catch the bullet again to reload
with, and so on until he exhausted his
