Machinery Started by Sound.
From Public Opinion

Expostions and similar enterprises are
usually opened by official touching
button at some distant point, and the press
Ing OF the button likewise sets in motion
machinery in the various departments. Re-
Gently 1t has been demonstrated that the
same proceeding may be gone through with
wireless telegraphy, and now are told
that similar effects may be obtained by the
use of sound waves. Writing on this sub
ject in the Independence Beige of Brussels.
DIR. Airelle says 1.-THE OF the electric
button for putting machinery in motion Is
a commonplace, but to use sound for the
same purpose is certainly novel. This is ac
complished by making use of the property
which certain forms of resonators-mem-
branes. cords. and so forth-have of being
placed in vibration by sounds which are
pitched in the right key.
NJ. Michel uses IAN ordinary acoustic
resonator which contains disk turning
axis obliaue to the longitudinal axis of the
resonator. AS soon as the note Is struck
which is capable of putting the resonator
in vibration the disk begins to turn, and this
rotation lasts as long as the sound lasts. If
one plays an instrument, for example
piano. the disk remains at rest until the
sound Is made to which the resonator is
harmoniZed. The disk then begins to turn,
and as Its axis is movable the tendency Is
to place the surface of the disk vertical TO
the longitudinal axis of the resonator AS
the disk is connected with an electric bat
terry circuit may be thus closed and kept 80
as long as the characteristic sound is made.
The new scheme has many possibilities
For example. a locomotive by whistling be-
fore a signal could open or close It. and
many other useful applications might be
made. This ia true for the ingenious photo
graphic apparatus of Schllings. which Is
designed to photograph wild animals In
natural state. The conditions necessary
for taking Schillngs photograph are that
the animal set off the fashlight and open
the shutter itself. Under the new arrange
ment the resonator could be harmonlzed to
the cry of a wild beast or the call of a
bird. and the shutter would be at once
opened, the fash exploded and the mega
tive made. The acoustic effects may also
be varied In different ways by sounding
tubes.

Little Maids to Give Fete

The Maria Louise society, composed
| OF thirty-five little girls who are work.
ing to tighten the suffering of others
less fortunate than they, will give an
other bazaar.
The affair is to be a lawn fete and
bazaar combined, and will take place
Saturday. October 2S. at the beautiful
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Cline on
the northeast corner of Figueroa and
Adams streets.
The club was organized in memory
OF a. little girl who was the playmate
OF many of the members. Last year
the girls gave a lawn fete and with
the proceeds they furnished a beauti
full blue and white room in the Chill
drens hospital and named it the
Maria Louise room. Now they are
even more ambitious, and the pro-
ceeds of this years fete will go into
the bank toward a fund of $4,000 which
they intend to use for a perpetual en-
dowment for the room.
Every Saturday morning the girls
meet at Mrs. Clines home and under
the direction of Mrs. Cline and two
of the other mothers they make all
sorts of pretty things.
They were having the busiest kind
of a sewing bee when the Chatterer
dropped in yesterday morning. Tiny
curly heads were bending over fancy
work, and little fingers We're flying
with a deftness which might easily
make mammas proudly envious.
Upstairs there was a room packed
full of trays containing every thing
beautiful which the minds of clever
women can conceive. Box after box
filled with the work of other Saturday
mornings. whole years work of
thirty-fve little girls represented there.
besides the work of several of their
elders. One big box which had just
been opened contained goods from
Japan. 1t has just been sent over
by friend of the little band who had
been delegated to buy everything at
wholesale.
All these things and many more lay
with the prices marked-and remark
ably low those prices were, too-await-
ing the day of the sale.
The grounds of the Cline home are
to be inclosed and the booths erected
on the lawns. In the carriage house
there will be play, "Alice in Won
derland," under the direction of Mrs.
tiful Vine-covered arbor lemonade will
candy and all such goodies will be
found. An orange tree covered with
paper oranges containing prizes. a
wheel of fortune and a grab bag will
be among the other features.
October 2S has been stamped in red
letters on the minds of the happy
little misses who are working for the
happiness of others, and though they
try very hard to be patient, they can't
