Legend Of tho "Mouth Of Truth"
In front Of the old basilica of Santa
Maria in Cosmedin, at Rome, there is
an enormous block of marble, resem-
bling huge face with widely gaping
mouth. 1t is called the Bocca della
Verita, or 'tmeuth Of TRUTH and in
the days OF ancient Rome the legend
ran that if any one who had told a lie
placed his or her hand within that
yawning cavity the jaw would descend
and cut it off. The Bocca della yerita

about five yards in circumference. 1t
Is pierced with two holes representing
eyes. an opening for mouth, a slight
" raised nose, and two locks of hair
are carved on each side of the fore
head. The stone is of great antiquity,
and, according to some, it was laid ON
the altar Of Jove, and those suspected
of perjury were led to it and obliged
to confess by much the same threats
as are used to children now. 1t is most
likely. however, that the stone served
as a sluice to some ancient sewer, for
others like it, used for this purpose by
the Romans. have been found.-Wide

Found 4 Way to Help.

A worthy old Quaker who lived in a
country town in England was rich
and benevolent, and his means were
put in frequent requisition for pur-
poses of local charity or usefulness
The townspeople wanted to rebuild
their parish church, and committee
WAS appointed to raise funds. 1t was
agreed that the Quaker could not be
asked to subscribe toward an object
SO contrary to his principles: but then,
on the other hand, so true friend to
the town might take it amiss if he
was not at least consulted on mat
ter Of such general interest. SO one Of
their number went and explained to
him their project: the old church was
to lie removed and such and such steps
taken toward the construction Of a
new one.
"Thee vast right" the Quaker said,
I'm supposing that my principles
would not allow me to assist in build
ing q church. But didst thee not say
something about pulling down a
church? Thee may'st put my name

Tho Telephone Voice.

The voice heard over the telephone
is mechanical reproduction Of the
original voice and differs from that Of
q speaking tube or megaphone, where
the sound waves produced by the
speaker at one end are transmitted
directly to the other end. In the tele.
phone the diaphragm Of the transmit.
ter is caused to vibrate by the sound
waves produced by some one talking
into the transmitter mouthpiece. This
diaphragm is connected with a small
receptacle having a flexible front and
partially filed with granular carbon.
This carbon offers resistance to elec.
trio current in proportion to the me.
chanical pressure brought upon it.
The diaphragm, therefore, in vibrat.
ing produces varying pressure
against the carbon. The carbon is
included in an electric circuit, so that
the variations in its resistance will
vary the current strength in the cir.
