They Can Be Focused With a Lens
Just as Light Can.
Few people are aware that sound
can be focused just as light can. All
are familiar with the burning glass or
reading lens which. If placed in a
beam OF sunlight. will focus the rays
into smal! point which is so hot as
TO be able TO set fire to a piece of
paper. Light is n wave in the ether,
but sound is a wave in a material
medium generally the air.
If We make convex lens out of
rubber or collodiOn and I'M it with gas
heavier than air. say carbon dioxid.
we shall have sound iens analogous
in nearly all respects to n glass lens
for light. 1t will he found that we can
focus sound waves IN the following
manner:
Take watch and place II some feet
away from one side Of the lens and
put your ear on line with the watch
and the center of the lens. but on the
other side. and move outward from the
lens. While moving out you cannot
heDr the watch until you get TO Il Ger,
tain point where the waves are To-
cused. at which place you viii hear II

CUSTOM HOUSE FLAGS.
Having No Legal Existence, They Are
Not Protected by Law.


Tradition is responsible for the ny.
ing of the revenue dag over the Gus
tom houses of the country. according
TO a high ranking member of that de.
partment.
The flag which floats from the roof
of the custom house has not only no
legal existence but Is not protected by
law from popular use on land ana sea
nor from advertising, as is the na.
tional dag.
The revenue cutter service was es-
tabished under authority of an act OF
congress OF Aug. 4, 1870, as an armed
force. 1t soon becuIne evident that
the vessels Of tile service should have
some distinguishing dag, or mark to
indicate their employment and author
ity. and under an act of congress OF
March 2l. 1899, the marker was pro
vided for. This act set forth that "the
cutters and boats employed In the
service of the revenue shall he dlstin-
guished from other vessels 10y an en-
sign and pendant. with such marks
thereon as shall be prescribed by the
president"
AS is apparent from the act OF con
gress mentioned ana various revlsions
of later date. the revenue ensign WAS
intended especially for the cutters aud
boats of the service, hui Il has lonG
been displayed over custom houses

Iona Arrow Eliuhts,

There was a marvellous archery feat
performed some years ago by Sir
Ralph Payne Gallweys on the links at
lie Touquet. Shooting with Turkish
bow, he covered a distance Of 367
yards with his best arrow, thus break
ing all records achieved in recent
times. This performance. however,
seems to have been exceeded with the
old national weapon of yew. Meade.
famous archer under Charles l.,
states that the ordinary range of the
bow was from 800 to 400 yards. The
longest shot authenticity recorded in
England is that Of secretary of the
Turkish embassy, who in 1894 shot an
arrow 463 yards with the wind and
415 against it in the presence of
several members of the Royal Toxo-
philite society, who measured the dis.
lance and preserved the arrow.-Pall
