The Mirror eatvanometsr.

Some interesting tales are told CT
Lord Kelvin's discoveries and how the
ideas of them came to his quick mind.
For instance, this is said to have been
the way in which he found the mirror
galvanometer: He was puzzling over
the difficulty of perfecting the ordinary
Geographic apparatus used on over
head wires. which was not suited for
the varying current passing along ca
bles. The tagging of the electric cur
rents had the effect of making them
run together into one bottom current,
with surface ripples which correspond
to the separate signals of the message.
The problem was how to invent a
means Of interpreting clearly and east
ly all the delicate fluctuations One
day Lord Kelyin's eyeglass fell off and
swung in front Of the magnet, reflect
ing its movements, and instantly the
idea of the mirror suggested itself So
mOnocle has had a direct effect ON
science.

With zest for the meal that

Is a grateful warmth in the

When you read in the flames your
hearts desire
And you browse, and dream
with your heart athrill.

To hit the trail for the woods

Now, when the birds are south

And the leaves like a carpet

And the trees are white with the
