fermentation of Sound.

A striking example Of the magical
effects capable of being produced by
any one conversant with the laws of
sound was shown by the late Professor
Tyndall in one Of his lectures. He
placed on the floor of the room an ordi-
nary guitar. No one was near, and yet
some unseen hand drew sweet music
from it SO that all could hear. The
guitar was replaced by harp, with
the same result. A wooden tray was
then substituted, and even from that
Issued mysterious harmonies.
The marvellous effect was simply due
to the sound conducting quality of wood.
In q room beneath and separated by
two floors was piano, and connecting
the rooms was tin tube containing a
deal rod, the end Of which emerged
from the floor. The rod was clasped
by rubber bands so as to close the tube,
and the lower end Of the rod then
rested on the sound board of the piano.
AS the guitar rested upon the upper
end of the rod the sounds were repro
duced from the piano, and when the
sound board of the harp was placed on
the rod it seemed as though the actual
notes of the harp were heard, the notes
of the piano being SO like those of the
harp.
AS the professor said, can unedu-
Gated person might well believe that

How Fortress. Monroe was Buil

The manner of constructing the fort
at Old Point Comfort is interesting
and throws some light on customs and
practices then in vogue. The work was
almost wholly done by slaves who were
brought to the place by their masters
and leased to the engineers in charge.
The slave owner received so cents
day for each slave, and the government
furnished each "laborer." as the slave
was called, with two suits Of working
clothes, pair or two of shoes. rations.
quarters and occasionally little tobac-
co. The ''laborers'' worked with very
little clothes and generally without
shoes. They lived in barracks and were
subject to kind Of military discipline.
The owners were regular in coming in
to collect the hire for their slaves, from
which we may infer that the ''constitu-
ents" Of those days knew how to appre-
ciate good thing to degree worthy

FlNIcKY TURKISH LADIES.
They Are. Very Careful About What
They Take In Their Hands.


Our Constantinople correspondent
writes: 1t is not generally known that
there exists among Turkish ladies of
high class a Kind of caste feeling SINH
lar to that prevailing among Hindoos.
1t takes the form of fear of contami-
nation from the outer world and is only
observed, as far as 1 know, by those
who cannot afford to keep servants in
sufficient numbers. Before meals ladies'
always wash their hands at tap, from
which the water runs into a marble
basin. They will turn on the tap when
they are just going to wash, but when
they have finished they let the water
run till somebody shuts it off, as to, do
it themselves, would make them un-
clean. They cannot open or shut door,
as the handle would be unclean, so
slave is generally kept handy for the
purpose.
One of these fastidious ladies' was!
talking to small niece the other day
who had just received present Of a
beautiful doll from Paris. The child
presently laid the doll on the lady's
lap, who was Mortified and ordered TIE
child to take it away. AS the little girl
would not move it and no servant was
near, and the lady would be defled by
touching doll that was brought from
abroad, the only thing she could think
of was to jump up and let the doll fall,
which broke to pieces. The same lady
will not open a letter coming by post,
but servant opens it and holds it
near her for her to read. If her hand
kerchief falls to the ground, it is imme-
diately destroyed or given away, so
that she should not use it again. This
curious state of exclusiveness or fanati-
cism exists, am told, in many of the
large harems. Among men it is not
practiced.-London Telegraph.
