A kaleidoscope of the latest pattern

ton for the use OF it's classes and in
structors. The first use to which II
will be put will be in illustrating the
movement and character Of air waves
The air about us is full Of unnoticed
sound waves. produced not by sounds
but by the various motions that ma Ike

waves can be photographed, ansi j
given wave, by means OF the kineto-
scope, can be reproduced not only
greatly magnified. but SO as to show IL

The great value of this moving picture

that the speed at which the wave
moves can be regulated by the mech

the kaleidoscope n wave can be made

Another early use to which the kline
toscope will be put at the institute has
to do with the solution of an importa mt
and difficult problem in the construc-
ton OF dynamos. concerning the rela-
ton between an alternating current
dynamo and the steam engine that

engine on its piston is uneven. being at
