Chicago, April 4.-Despite a pre-
ponderance Of bearish news, wheat de-
veloped moderate frrnness during the
early trading today. owing TO buying
inspired by continued dry weather in
Kansas. The official forecast Of clear

The Care of Glassware.

The thickness of glass is not neces-
sarly an evidence of the strength.
Thick glass succumbs more quickly
than thin wien hot drinks are poured
into it. In mixing hot drinks the cool
ingredients should first be placed in the
glass. while the addition of silver
teaspoon reduces the risk when boil
hing water is added If nothing cool is
placed in the glass the tumbler should
be stood in a basin of hot water so
that the outer surface may be expand
ed before the inner surface is heated.
Contrary to some opinions, cold wa
ter answers the purpose best for wash
ing table glass. They are apt TO look
dull and smeary when washed with
lukewarm water Tumblers which
have been used for milk should. how
ever, be washed in lukeWarm water
softened with soda, and then rinSed
in cold water. Glasses should not
drain long before they are dried on
q clean, dry linen cloth. Glass water
jugs are just as susceptible to the
heat as tumblers are. If the jug has
an inward slope or is shaped with
neck and shoulders, it is most i'm
rortant to see that it is never washed
in anything but cold water. Wine
glasses fall an easy prey to the clum-
sy hands Of the servant. yet the WHIP
ing of wine glass is an easy mat
ter, provided that it is never held with
the bowl in one hand and the foot IN
TIE other at the same time.
Salad bowls of cut glass, glass dishes
and cruet bottles need caution as far
as concerns the temperature of the
water. which must be cold Should
such articles prove stubborn in cold
water soaking them with soda DIS
solved in the water will soon over
come all possible difficulties. Ocean
tiers and spirit bottles should be but
rarely washed inside. and cold water
answers we'll for the outside cleans
ing.
When decanters become stained in
side they can be easily cleaned the
most satisfactory method is to place
inside about a dozen small cinders the
size Of peas, to pour vinegar over the
cinders and shake the decanter vigor-
ously. The smell is not pleasant. but
the chemical action of the gas formed
by the mixture soon loosens the STAINS
which make the decanters so insight
ly.
When the cinders have been empteo
out the inside should be rinscd win

entire lifetime. But care must be useu

VOICE PHOTOGRAPHY.
A French Savart Has Revoutionized
the Study of Voice Culture.

Or. Marage of Paris has invented
voice photography which he claims
will be of immense service to singers,
actors, public speakers and also indi-
rectly to musical critics.
The sounds of the voice strikes a
small disc Of India rubber with which
a minute mirror is connected in such
a way that it reproduceS exactly every
motion of the rubber drum. A ray of
light is thrown through Il lens on to
the mirror, which reflects it at varying
angles as it itself moves.
a sensitive film is unwound by clock
work at u fixed speed before the mir
ror. and receives the impression. A
picture of varying lines is thus OBJ
tanned.
The inventor claims that this photo
graph of the voice will reveal whether
a singers voice is true, whether he has
sung out of tune, and if SO, exactly
where and how far out of true pitch,
whether he sings in time, whether his
voice is sonorous and carries, whether
he cnunciates clearly, and whether he
bleathes properly and has sufficient
lung power to sing effectively.
All these particulars can be ascer-
tanned easily by anyone who learns
toW to read q voice photograph. For
i instance, the vibrations of d note are
recorded. and can be measured with
those of the proper pitch.
According to two pictures which are
published, but which may have been
SLIGHTLY exaggerated for the purpose,
a true note is represented by a series
o. parallel, equidistant and equal bands
while the portrait of wrong note is of
ia strange and irregular pattern.
All this information will naturally be
o. much service to the singer. The in
Fentor mentions another particular use
10 which the machine may be put
Suppose a musical critic writes that q
singer habitually sings out of tune,
ard is sued for libel All the court
will have to do will be to order
the singer to sing into the ap-
p3ratus and convict either the critic
or the singer on the evidence of the
photograph
