may be 50 fne. while in the other
cases the scratches" must be OF the
dimension OF columns and pilasters,
is because Of the relative wave
lengths Of light and sound. The
wave length, that which corresponds
to the distance from crest to crest in
a water wave, is in the case Of light
about one fifty-thousandth part OF an
inch, while In the case Of sound It is
for the ordinary tones OF a mans
voice several feet. For this reason a
column or a plaster Of vast magni.
tude bears to the sound Of a man.
voice the same relation that the mer-
est scratch bears to light. We thus
have the great acoustical mirror Of
the hall OF statues now dimmed by
the coffering which breaks the form.
erly smooth surface. To this argu.
ment it may be, in fact it has been,
objected that while the waves OF
sound of a mans voice are several
feet In length this coffering is Of but
a few inches in depth, and therefore
insufficient. The answer to this is
that while the full rounded tones OF a
mans voice and for that matter
though to a less. degree, Of a woman
voice, are Of long wave length, a
whisper by either man or woman Is
OF very different character. The
component tones of a whisper are
very high and Of very short length
SO that irregularities that would not
disturb the focusing Of the full tones
Of the voice will utterly ruin whis
pering gallery.
"The loss of the whispering gallery
| is of course only the loss Of an archi
tectural curiosity. It was, however
remarkably perfect, and so interest
ing and even famous as to be vel
\ worth the well-intentioned but mis-
1 directed efforts for its preservation.

North Dakota to Be Represented
With 'creditabIe Display at Portland
Exposition.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
North Dakota legislature made no ap-
preparation for the. Portland fair ex-
hibits, North Dakota will be repre-
sented with a good display. Warren
N. Steele of Rolla who was one of the
commissioners for the St. Louis fair,
has consented to act as manager, and
it is expected will raise several thous.
and dollars in the state by popular
subscription. A. portion of the ex-
hibit used at st. Louis is already be-
ing packed, and Col. Bosch, director
of exhibits at Portland, has granted
the state one of the best spaces in
the agricultural building, being an
end wall space 30x100 feet. This
will permit the erection of the states
st. Louis booth and also the installa-
ton of the Roosevelt Cabin, which
was one Of the greatest drawing cards
at the st. Louis exposition, and at
which people to the number of hun
dreds of thousands registered. The
Portland people are particularly anx-
ious to have the cabin, and it has
already been packed on the car for
shipment with number of articles
of personal property formerly owned
by the president including his old
Sharp's rife, hunting outfit, plains
clothing and other camp equipment.
Another striking exhibit that will be
made at the fair is of the pottery
burned from clay procured at Dickin.
son, North Dakota, this clay having
proven as good as anything ever dis
covered and has been burned with
the most exquisite shapes and colors
of vases, jardinieres, table ware, and
other useful and ornamental articles.
Some attractive printing matter will
also be prepared in the shape of little
brochures, setting forth the resources
of the state, some Of its beauty spots
and filled with printing and illustra-
ton matter that shall serve to call
the attention of those passing through
the state on their way to the exposi-
ton to the resources and advantages
of North Dakota.
