a very interesting scientific toy. the
action of which is explained by the the.
DRY of sound waves, has recently been
shown in England by Bergen Davis.
the inventor of it. He had observed
that small cylinder. closed at one
end, if placed in n sound wave. would
arrange itself in a position perpendic-
ular TO the wave, and begin to move
IN the direction of its own axis. This
gave him the idea, and he arranged
-FOUR such cylinders on a rotating mill,
the closed end of each following the
open end of its predecessor. like the
cups Of an thermometer. and then
placed the mill in front of an organ

dicular to the sound wave issuing from

One OF the professors at the Glasgow
Observatory has devised simple but
ingenious plan for conveying light to
graduated circles at the point where
they are to be read with the aid of n
microscope. 1t is desirable not to
bring the source of light near the
circles on account of the heat. and so
the professor sends the light through
Il solid glass rod, letting it shine in
nj one end and come out at the other.
The light cannot escape from the sides
OF the rod owing to the internal redec
ton, and it is therefore carried and
delivered much like water running
through a tube. Even when bent the
rod does not lose its charge of light.
