VIBRATION.
Examples of Its Wonderful Power
and Penetration.

Examples of Its Wonderful Power
and Penetration.
The wonderful force of vibration Is
recognized in all its power by few
architects and builders 1t would
amuse them If they were told that the
most solidly built of their walls would
be injured by the continuous scraping
Of bow across violin. OF course 1t
would take years of playing to loosen
masonry and render iron brittle, but
there are facts on record which show
that such result has occurred. On a
first class battleship man may feel
the vibrations of a violin though he
may not be able to hear the music. 1t
is the regularity of the vibrations
which tells. The player Is not affected
by them, for he is a flexible object and
can give way to motion.
Every one knows that a squad of
soldiers or any body of marching men
break step in crossing bridge, no
matter what its size and strength may
be, for none could withstand the vibra-
lions of this concerted action Even
the tread of dog may make bridge
shake because OF the regularity of the
vibration, so that on many of the big
suspension bridges dogs are not al
lowed unless carried in the arms Of
their owners
good Illustration Of the power OF
vibration can be found In the Green
witch observatory. 1t stands on the top
Of hill on whose slopes hundreds OF
children play on fine evenings. Their
favorite play Is to join hands at the
top and dash headlong to the bottom,
where they fall in a heap This starts
the vibration of the hill to such an ex-
tent that the scientists of the observa-
tory are unable to carry on their OBJ
servations, which depend upon the mo-
tionless state of a tray of mercury.
The solid hill is in such state of ire
NOR that the vibrations continue till
long past midnight, when the children
who have caused it have been asleep
for hours.
A still more wonderful Illustration Of
vibration is in the human throat. Six
ty vibrations per second is the least
number by means of which a sound
can be produced. This Is a sound new
er used In speaking. but is found in
mems voices In an extremely low reg
lister. The highest sound produced by
the human voice-that is, e In altisslmo
lis caused by 1,024 vibrations per sec
ond. This, too. is exceptional being
only obtainable in the highly cultivated
female or boy voices.
1t is simply the vocal chords which
vibrate, not the throat In the lower
notes the whole length and thickness
OF the vocal chords are used, the thin
edges being employed for the highest
ones. Thus in speaking for a minute
or two there is sufficient vibration en-
gendered In the throat, were its walls
of solid nature instead of soft and
flexible, to shatter and destroy 1t. Ev-
cry minute we speak the vocal chords
vibrate from 10000 to 10000 times

THE FLAGEOLET.

IL Has Always Been the Love Flute
of the Apache Indian.
The fageolet is of peculiar interest
to Americans, as from time immemo-
rial 1t has been the medium through
which the Indian youth courted their
sweethearts at a distance when they
were SO unfortunate as to be unable
to gain a personal audience.
The love or counting flute Of the Apa-
che La made of a round stick of cedar
about twenty -four inches long, split
lengthwise and followed to form an air
chamber. A hole is made on each side
OF this diaphragm and shallow air
passage cut from one hole to the other.
Above 1t cap of wood Is placed for
the purpose Of covering the upper hole
and the air channel. The lip is made
Of a thin sheet of lead and the whole
bound together with a slender thong.
In the tube part or body of the instru-
ment are placed six finger holes, a
condition that points Enthusiastically to
the influence of contact with the white
man.
The fiageolet, as ordinarily under
stood, may be described as whistle
headed flute. In the seventeenth cen
fury English ladies often played on it
Sometimes two or three aageolet tubes
were constructed with one head for the
purpose of introducing notes In har
mony These were called double OF
triple fiageolets, and patent was tax
en- out for this instrument by one
cambridge.
An old English diary of 1857 contains
this quaint reference to the double
fageolet: ITO Dumblebys, the pipe
maker, there to advise about the max
ing Of fageolet to go low and soft
and he do show me way which to do
and also fashion Of having two pipes
of the same note fastened together, sc
as l can play on one and then echo Il
upon the other, which Is mighty pref
ty."-American Inventor.

The Name of Higgins.

Many people who sign themselves
Higgins have sought to prove that their
surname Is derived from the name
borne by st. Hyginus, tracing 1t
through the old English form "St.
Ygyn." But according to an authority
their name is really connected with
IKE" short for Isaac, or, rather, with
''Hikke," the form in which Ike" ap-
peared in Langlands time. Isaacs,
Isaacson, Hicks, Higgs, Hickson and
Higson would thus be different YER
sions of the same name, while Higgins
is merely modified by the addition of
the Anglo Norman diminutive. Anoth-
er school derives Higgins, Hutchinson
and Higgins alike from Hugh, or, more
exactly, from Hugonis, the genitive of
the Latin Hugo.

GAY FASHIONS OF THE PAST
Dandfes Of Past Centuries Would
Make 9aInmnn Look sad

Dandfes of Past Centuries Would
Make Solomon Look Sad.
Compared with the gay apparel worn
by the handles Of the past ages the
youths of our time in the gayest Of
gay raiment make but poor show.
The bishop of Ely in the fourteenth
century had a change of raiment for
every day in the year. The Earl OF
Northumberland boosted no less than
sixty cloth of gold suits at this time.
In Queen Mary's time the wardrobe
of bishop must have been the envy
Of Solomon for the variety and costli-
ness of its contents, and even simple
village priest wore "a vestment OF
crimson satin, a vesment Of crimson
velvet, a stole and fanon set with
pearls ETC."
In the time of Chaucer the men wore
clothes as many colored as Joseph's
coat, SO that while one leg would be
blaze of crimson the other would be
tricked out in green, blue or yellow
without any regard for harmony or
contrast.
Even as late as the middle Of the
eighteenth century a dandy would
dress himself In vivid green coat, a
walstcoat of scarlet, yellow breeches
and blue stockings.
And the gentleman Of a few years
later wore, among other vagaries, a
coat of light green, with sleeves too
small for the arms and buttons too big
for the sleeves; pair Of fine Manches-
ter breeches without money in their
pockets; clicked silk stockings; a club
Of hair behind larger than the head
which carried It; hat not larger than
q sixpence.
1t was a common thing in the early
part Of the eighteenth century for a
man of fashion to spend several hours
daily In the hands of his valet. Among
the many operations which took up
this time was 1.-THE starching Of the
beard and the proper pertaining of the
