Machinery Started by Sound.

Expositions and similar enterprises are
usually Opened" by an official touching
a button at some distant point, and the
pressing of the button likewise sets IN
motion machinery in the various depart
ments. Recently it has been demon
strated that the same proceeding may
be gone through with wireless teleg-
raphy, and now we are told that similar
effects may be obtained by the use OF
sound waves. Writing on this subject
in the Independence Beige of Brussels,
DR.. Airelle says 1.-The use of the electro
button for putting machinery i'll motion
is a commonplace. but to use sound Tor
the same purpose is certainly novel. Inns
is accomplished by making use OF the
property which certain forms of resona-
tors-membranes, cords, and so forth
have of being placed IN vibration hF
sounds which are pitched in the right
key"
NJ. Michel uses AN ordinary acoustic
resonator which contains disk turning
an axis oblique to the longitudinal axis
of the resonator. AS soon as the uQ''
is struck which is capable of putting the
resonator in vibration the disk begins -
turn, and this rotation lasts as long a.
the sound lasts. If one plays an instFo-
ment. for example, piano, the disk re-
mains at rest until the sound is made 10
disk then begins to turn, and as its aX's
is movable the tendency is to place me
surface of the disk vertical to the long
tudinal axis of the resonatOr. As tht
disk is connected with an electric batter!
circuit may be thus closed and kept -
as long as the characteristic sound i
made. The new scheme has many p9'
sibilities. For example. a locomotive o!

close it, and many other useful apphed.

FOOD VALUE OF BANANAS.
They Are Not, Like Some Fruits, Good
Only for Their Flavor.


Professors of dietetics tell us that the
banana is not. as many fruits are, a
flavor and nothing more. but IL food and
a source of real nutriment. 1t is at
once useful and delicious. 1t not only
gratifes the palate, but supplies material
for combustion and the maintenance Of
animal heat, while il also builds up the
muscles ana repairs the worn and thread.
bare nerves.
The flour made from it in its dried
state is equal in nutritive value to rice
and how invigorating and sustaining rice
is has been demonstrated in the recent
achievements of the japanese. Dried
and sprinkied with sugar, a form IN
which it has been recently introduced
in this country, the upsJart banana is,
weight for weight, as nutritious as the
venerable fig.
But il is in the fresh state that the
banana chiefly appeals to us. Its creamy
succulence and delicate odOr are inviting
and its pleasant sapor is a prelude 10
good digestion. Dependent as that sapor
is the ethereal body, which the coal tar

processes. And thus it is that the ba-

New York architects are in quandary
as to furnishing elevator service for
buildings forty or more stories high. The
Singer building, which is to pierce the
sky TO height of forty-ive stories, is
said TO have been delayed because of the
elevator problem. Although three months
have elapsed since the architects took
up the elevator subject, they are unde-
cided as to the type of the lift that
should be adopted. The electric elevator
is out of consideration, because the drum
for the cable would be so large that 1t
would occupy too much room. Why not
make the trip by two lines, with depot

Puffs OF an Engine.

The train was starting. The puffs of
the locomotive. IT first slow. grew faster
and faster, and finally seemed to cease
in the roar of the train
1T is the emission of the waste steam

an engineer. AS the trains speed in
creases, the puffs increase in rapidity,
and when ten second are emitted the
ear can't distinguish them separately any
longer-it hears them as continuous
roar.

IT. YIYIAApS ATTITUDE'

M. viviani, the new French minister of labor, appointed by M. Clemenceau, has declared that in accepting office he repudiates nothing of his political past. T am Socialist" he said, and mean to remain faithful to my ideas and to my Socialist friends. Like Mil lerand in the Waldeck- Rousseau min istry, and like Briand in the Sarrien Cabinet, I preserve my freedom of ac- tion and of propaganda. AS minister of labor I shall endeavor to secure re- forms which I defended as deputy at the tribune of the chamber. I want to make the ministry of labor a working
 mans ministry" M. Vivianl then pro ceeded to speak of the nature of the work immediately cut out for the new minister He hopes, he said, with the aid of the minister of finance to cre- ate an organization for the settlement of the long standing queStlon or old age pensions that can immediately set to work" Another matter which will claim his immediate attention is arbi- tration in labor disputes. as well as the liberty of trade unions. He is said not to be blind to the fact that his task will be a difficult one, and that, in view of the influence now at work in the French democracy and Parliament, his minis try will not be the least important of the Clemenceau Cabinet. It is to be established in the premises just vacat- ed by the Department of Public Wor- ship, highly significant arrangement.

4 OOLoRADo INCIDENT.

Another fine theory busted, or, at least, cracked. It has been generally and firmly held that voting women could be depended on to be unanimous in favor of good men and good causes So it was supposed that last Tuesday the votes of the women of Colorado would go in mass to Judge Linsley, who has achiever such remarkable re- suits in Denyer's juvenile court, and who was running as an independent candidate for governor. But, appar- ently, the women divided on party lines just like men, for Judge Linsleys s vote was insignificant.
 Of course this cannot be taken to mean that the women of Colorado are no better than the men of Colorado. They are much better, as women are everywhere much better than men. We don't know exactly what 1t does mean. Perhaps it means that the women of Colorado didn't like the way Judge Linsley wears his hair or something, and didn't have any special interest in him anyway.

LOSS OF MIDWAY AND CONFIDENCE.

LOSS OF MONEY AND CONFIDENCE.
 London is growing, but nothing in it is growing as fast as its debt, and the rapid growth of this is charged to mu- nicipal ownership of public utilities. In twenty years the debt has risen from $S5,O0O,OOO to $1SO,0OO O0O-out of all pro- portion to the increase in population. The cost of salaries, office expenses, pensions, etc, in the metropolitan works rose between 1888 and 19O5-6 from $2OO,O0o to $1,425OOO; expense for 'in- quiries," from $25,OOO to $545, ,OOO; sewer age, fire brigade, etc. Compared with the present total, including the new ownership" departures), from $1, ,OOO to $3,SOO,OOO.
 The biggest enterprise has been the buying of about one hundred miles of street railroad and the construction of many miles more, About a third of the cost has been obtained from local bor- ough councils through which the lines run, a resource which last weeks elec- tions to these local bodies have doubt- less in most regions cut off. An omni- bus line was started, but the courts stopped it as in excess of authority. After assessing one-third the cost of tramways on the toroughs and a sec- ond third on the account of street im- provements the best profits" the poli- ticians can figure out for the tram de- partment proper are $85, APO for the year ending March, 1906 Other experiments are Thames river steamboat service which hardly anybody uses, income $1 to every $13 expended; direct construc- tion of works instead of by contractors, admitted loss, up to 1902 $857,72 and the manufacture of brick that are said to be mostly unfit for use.
 The loss of money in municipal own ership in London has brought about a loss of confidence, and the indications are that London has had about enough.
