The Specialist.

When the Pan American Exposition
was about to open its gates to the pup
lie an astonishing discovery was made.
The beautiful Hall of Music, where the
most famous musicians in the world
were engaged to exercise their arts,
was imperfect in acoustics The walls
reflected a decided echo. CONSERVATION
struck the hearts of the management,
for the building was it's pride. Tele-
grams flew over the country at a
rapid rate, and followed a small, in
significant looking gentleman from
Chicago to Seattle. Finally they caught
him and week later he inspected the
Hall of Music.
What is the composition OF this
wall?' he asked the contractor. What
kind of wood is that in the sounding
board?" he inquired of the architect.
He asked hundred questions, studied
the blue prints of the building, and
called for two pieces of steel wire IL
feet long. These he stretched between
two posts at ore side of the hail.
"Now,' he said. you will have no
more trouble. Make me cut check
for thousand dollars"
That man had studied acoustics all
his life. He knew more about sound
waves and rejecting power of differ
ent substances than any other lndi-
vidual in the world. Take any build
ing. give him the composition of its
structure, it's size and shape, and he
could trace precisely the course of the
waves. All that was needed at Buffalo
were two wires to break up a return
ing reflection. He did not know much
about literature and nothing of modern
business methods. He could not have
earned $40 week in an office. But
he knew more about acoustics than
anyone else.-Spare Moments.

WINGS THAT WERE FINS.
Evidence That Penguin's Pinions Were
Once Used for SWIMMING,

Ornithological puzzles are the pen
gums with their curiously shaped
wings and odd unbirdlike upright car
riages. The peculiarities of their
wings suggest that the penguins are
descendants of birds which used their
wings rather than legs in the pursuit
of prey under water, and as the strug-
gle intensified between the competing
individuals the most expert at this sort
OF swimming would get the most food
and Gust their less successful rivals.
The winners gained advantage over
their neighbors in proportion as their
wings improved as swimming organs.
and inversely and Of necessity became
less suited to perform the work of
flight.
In all other birds the feathers though
shed annually are more or less gradu-
ally displaced: but in the penguins the
new feathers all start into being at the
same time and thrust out the old feath-
ers upon their tips so that these come
away in great flakes. Whereas in all
birds save penguins the new feathers

these sheaths are open at the tips and
