LIGHTHOUSE VOICES.

Wonderful possibilities are claimed
for a Swedish invention called the
photographers, by means of which it
is said that sound waves can be regis
tered on a sensitized plate.
The negative is developed in the
ordinary way, and the sound curves
transferred to ebony plates. from
which the sound is reproduced as by
the gramophone.
The photographers records can be
reproduced ad infinitum, and if the
original music or song should not be
strong enough to fill large concert
hail. the sound can be increased as
desired. On account of the immense
volume of its sound, the inventor
prophesies that the photographers
will replace fog sirens in lighthouses.
Instead of the inarticulate howl
which the sirens send out in the
night, the undergraduate foghorn
will call out the name of the light
house for miles over the ocean.

BELLS OF THE LOW COUNTRIES

The ancient town of Midleburg in
Walcheren, is extremely interesting,
particularly when one finds himself
comfortably settled in the rOomy old
monastery, now in part the Hotel
Abby, in a square whose quiet is only
broken about a dozen times an hour
by the sweetest of chimes almost over
his head. 1t was partly to hear the
bells that | have come again to the
low countries. In America we do not
appreciate bells as do the continentals,
or even the English Everyone has
read Poe's Bells
Whose naturalization
SO musically swells,
A remarkable instance it is of render
ing inarticulate sounds into vocal
speech; but one is inclined to wonder
whether he did not enjoy its compost
ton more as kind of literary gym
nastics than as serious attempt to
convey to the reader his own deep
enjoyment of bell music. Not So how
ever. Longfellow in his Bells Of
Lynn" and nobody can doubt that the
ear and heart Of Francis Mahoney
ef1raptured in listening to
The bells OF Shandon

Emerson, in one of his poems, has
taken note of the fact that Napoleon,
walking on a country road, as Berthil-
lon, l believe, tells us. and engaged in
conversation over matters of great i'm
poTtance would pause to listen to dis
tant village chimes which always had
a particular fascination for him.
In Midleburg on Walcheren and 9TH

morning will carry him on waves of

SMILE AND WATT.

One Of the hardest, and yet one of
the most useful lessons we can ever
earn is to smile and wait after we
have done our very best.
1t is a finely trained mind that can
struggle with energy and cheerfulness
toward the goal which he cannot see.
But he is not great philosopher who
has not learned the secret of smiling
and waiting. \ great many people
can smile at difficulties who cannot
wait, who lack patience; but the man
who can both smile and wait if he has
that tenacity of purpose which never
turns back, will surely win. The fact
is, large things can only be done by
optimists. Little successes are left to
pessimistic people who cannot set
their teeth, clench their fists. and
smile at hardships or misfortune and
patiently wait
Smile and wait-there are whole
volumes in this sentence. 1t is so
much easier for most people to work
than to wait
