Photoaraphlna the Voice.

After the problem OF obtaining a
record of the human voice had once
been solved by the invention of the
photograph, many inventors turned
their attention towV some suitable
process for phot9 .raphing spoken
words. Though a monograph record
constitutes a true picture of the voice.
il is not distinct enough To be deci-
phered by mere inspection.
The Photographic phonograph or
photophone invented by Herr Huh.
mer affords a far more characteristic
graphical rendering of spoken words.
In this apparatus an electric arc lamp
inserted in the circuit of microphone
is made to give out a radiation the
intensity OF which corresponds TO the
sound vibration in the microphone.
this radiation being fixed photograph
ically on the film running past In
front of a narrow slot by conven-
lent inversion of the whole process.
the original sound can then be repro
duced from the Photographic record.

COUNTED TWINS AS UNIT.
Grandmother Found II Impossible to
Oisassociate Them.

The Harmon twins looked so much
alike as babies that their parents
could scarcely tell them apart. AS
they became older il became evident
that to grandmother Harmon at least
the twins were a unit.
You were asking me how much the
twins weigh" said grandmother Har-
mon TO neighbor. when l went out
that afternoon | put one of them on
the scales at the grocery. and found
they weigh Just 26 pounds"
DO they always weigh exactly the
same?" inquired the neighbor. and
grandmother Harmon looked quite i'm
patient.
THE twins?" she said. "Of course:
why not?"
The neighbor had no reason TO give.
but she rebelled few days later when
in answer to her inquiry grandmother
Harmon said:
Where are the twins?' O. they got
n cinder i'm one of their eyes and their
mother has taken them down TO the
oculst's TO have IL removed, they were
fussing so over it."-Rchoboth Sunday

Truth is the courage TO be honest
and in general the attitude of man
toward facts will depend upon the
training he has had and the company
he has kept. DR.. Johnson, who was
so careful to tell the truth and to
state 1t accurately that all the eminent
men of his time who were his init
mates-of his "schoor'-were noted
for their veracity and attention 10 the
truth. gave this counsel:
"Accustom your children to a strict
attention to truth, even In the most
minute particulars. II a thing hap.
pens at one window, and they, when
relating it, say that 1t happened at
another, do not let it pass. but in.
stantly check them; you do not know
where deviations from truth will end"
