rated distributor to regulate the amount
of the burning gas mixture, and burn
er wherewith the gases are consumed in
an ignition chamber The apparatus
submitted to the academy was arranged
for registering the reinforcement OF
sounds of any kind on ordinary phono-
grams. Air and acetylene were en-
ployed as burning gases.
The distributing mechanism consists
of chamber, A, into which the combus-
tible mixture is introduced under pres.
sure through a conduit, B. A vane, G,
supported on knife edges as at o, is
mounted at the bottom of the chamber.
A, an elastic ring being prvided to in
sure airtightness in o. Any motion CIV
en- to the pencil is transmitted to the
yane, G, inside of the distributor. On
either side of c openings, D and D., are
provided through which the gaseous
mixtures are allowed to issue in respec-
lively equal amounts as long as the yane
is immovable. Any displacement of G
will, however, result in an increase of
the amount of gas issuing on one side,
while the amount issuing on the other
side is reduced. The total amount OF
utilized mixture remains constant, and
the pressure in the interior of the cham.
Der is also unaltered.
The gases are collected and conveyed
to the burners through a series Of con.
duits, Z, E, E., E.. The burners consist
of a series of disks cooled by an air cur
rent, H H, the gases being expanded and
reduced to temperature such that COM
bustion always occurs in the chamber,
F F., just at the point where the gases
escape from the openings of the burner.
The apparatus further comprises two
tunnels, G G.. The power of the sounds
obtained, which is truly remarkable, de-
ponds on the amount of gas mixture
used and on the energy expended dur
ing its combustion.

new laws governing flight conditions.
His work has all been done in the lab
oratory shown in the accompanying pie
ture.
The feature Of the building is a wind
tunnel, where a steady current of air is
drawn along at a speed varying from
five to forty feet per second. The
speed of the air current is regulated by
a five-foot electric fan, and IS recorded
by a delicate thermometer Of special con
struction. Models of various shapes to
be tested are hung in the moving current
OF air and the resistance they ofier is
measured by delicate set OF balances
outside.
BY a long series Of experiments Or.
Zahm has proved that Skin friction" Of
air against balloon is by no means a
negligible quantity, as had been pre-
viously believed by aeTOnauts and sci
entists. on the contrary, the resistance
Of air and water follows practically the
same law in proportion to their density.
This Is only one of several important
facts brought out by the laboratory in

INSTANCES OF ECONOMY.
In Which the Financial Instinct Was
Developed TO the Point of
Parsimony.

The Scottish miser who blew out the
candle that stood beside his deathbed,
saying that moonlight was good
enough to die by" had worthy rival,
relates the Los Angeles Times, in the
economical French officer who thus ex-
planned to wondering Englishman how
he contrived to live upon a pension of
five francs a week.
See you, mine friend, it is veree SIM
pie, ven you do know it. On Sunday
dine vid one friend of mine, and den l
do eat so much dat want no more till
Wednesday. Den on Wednesday, / do
buy one great big dish of tripe, and dat
make me so sick dat can eat noting
till Sunday again!"
Even this masterpiece of frugality,
however, is fairly matched by the ex-
plot recorded of a rich but parsimoni-
GUS English merchant who had been or
dered abroad for the good of his health.
But his health seemed to get very little
good by the change, for he came back
much worse than he went, and was
thought to be actually dying when the

abruptly:
How much do they charge man for
landing on this p;er?"
"a penny" was the reply.
"And how much is the charge, then
for landing a corpse?" inquired the dy~
ing man, with undisguised eagerness.
1.-TWO shillings," answered the sur
prised captain.

Of righteous indignation, "if YOU sup

SLIDING SHOE CASTER.
Novel contrivance Which Is Held to
BE an Improvement on the
Roller Castor.

A sliding shoe to take the place of
che old-style wheel-caster, for use on
furniture, ETC., and which can be used
In hundreds of other places where the
ordinary roller or wheel caster is null
sance or cannot be used has been de-
yised by citizen OF Menasha, Wis.
The Record, of that city, describes the
new device and emphasizes its good
points as follows:
This new device consists Of a cir
cular disk or shoe Of stamped, pressed
or cast metal, highly polished or
enameled, or of porcelain, whose bear
ing surface is fat and edge turned up
all around. Some will have a fiber or
other material, or fabric, attached 70
the bearing surface, as may be re-
Quirod for particular use.
