LIGHT TO DO

students OF Missouri university have per-
tected an invention by which the college
yell may be given by means OF an electric
light. The light can also be made 10
laugh, cry or converse In any tongue
The students had been experimenting
several months upon the theory that light
and sound waves are SO nearly identical
that the two might be combined with in
teresting results but their final discovery
was largely due 10 an accident
In the midst OF n lecture I'm one OF the
class rooms i'm the engineering building
an arc light near the ceiling suddenly said
Hello, and then talked rapidly for sev-
eral moments, interrupting the lecturer
In the midst of his remarks. The speaker
paused and everybody listened. The arc
light became humorous and made sar-
castle remarks at the expense OF the
professor. Several members OF the class
were called by name and made the OBJ
jects Of funny remarks. The arc light
concluded with a loud laugh
lt was not until several DAYS later that
II was learned that tho arc light was
operated by a party OF engineering stu
dents who had accidentally discovered
that by connecting telephone wire with
an electric light and talking into the
transmittcr the flame inside the globe
might be made to act as n receiver and
repeat any sound desired.
Full details % this discovery are care
fully guarded. W r. given out however
that the contrivance can be OF no prac-
tical value. and the students do not claim

what Mrs Nyc says is true enough but
she didn't tell II all She didn't say
that MIR Wesley believed IL was the work
of the devil when tho rappings appeared
