Speaking Through Brick Walls.

Remarkably successful experiments
in transmitting the human voice over
long distance with the aid Of the
natural elements alone has been made
near Chepstow, England, by a young
scientist, Mr.. Grindell Matthews. Hav.
ing demonstrated to his own satisfac-
ton the possibility of transmitting the
human voice through all obstacles
without the aid of wires, Mr.. Matthews
submitted his discovery to severe
test in the presence of a number
OF experts. He was placed in a
strong room Of big London CONNER
cial house, and locked in, with nine
inches of armor steel, nine inches of
friedrich, and six feet of concrete be-
tween him and the outer world. By
means of his small portable apparatus
he carried on conversation with an
operator i'll another room on the fur
ther side of the building. So distinct
and faithful was the transmission
that the experts in attendance were
actually able to hear the tick Of his
watch, Notwithstanding the almost i'm.
penetrable mass between the two In.
struments.

Jewels of Indian Princes.

Some of the Indian princes possess
jewels which would put those of Alb
dull Hamid in the shade. At the 1903
durbar the blaze of gems surprised
even the Indians themselves. The
Maharajah of Darbhanga was wearing
a diamond necklace which had cost
100000, and was considered bar
gain at that. Besides a necklace OF
13 rows of perfectly matched pearls
as large as filberts, the Maharajah Of
Gwalior disported sash depending
from his left shoulder to his right
knee. the material Of which was COM
pletely hidden by similar stones. An
other rajah carried a sword-hilt cut
from a single emerald, and in the tur-
ban of the Nizam of Hyderabad was
the Nizam diamond, which weighs 27T
carats, or more than twice as much as
the Koh-i-Noor.

Just at this time, when Christians arc
thinking of the heather and their needs
and are planning to send them the gospel,
IL may be we'll to remind ourselves that
certain people i'm Christian lands have
grown weary of Christ and His gospel
and are looking to Buddha for light and
guidance.
England has Buddhist Society with
hundreds of Englshmen in il and its
membership is growing very rapidly.
Since 1895 there has been a Buddhist So
cjety in Germany which publishes two in
fiuential magazines and Is Spreading
knowledge OF the Buddhist religion far
and wide The same Is true Of Switzer-
land. Italy and Hungary. At beautiful
Lausanne. along Lake Geneva, q colony
of Buddhists Is soon to be established.
II is stated that in Hungary an effort
was made to have Buddhism recogn .Eed
officially and have ii taught in the schools.
but il met with strong opposition on the
part of the Roman Catholic Church and the
disgrace was warded OF. In certain parts
of California something very much like
Buddhism is being revived by class OF
rich people whose religion consists
chiefly of an inordinate desire TO hear
something new.
