LIGHT THAT PRODUCES SOUND
Statement Sounds Incredible, but Ex.
pertinent WIFI Speedily Demon
strate 1t to Be Fact

It seems incredible that beam Of
light sould be made to produce sound,
but such thing can be done. A ray
of sunlight is thrown through lens
on glass vessel containing lampblack,
colored silk or Worsted, or any like
substance. A disk having Sits or open
ings cut in it is made to revolve swift
ly in this beam of light, SO as to "cut
it up thus causing alternate flashes
of light and shadow. When one places
his ear to the glass vessel he hears
strange sounds so long as the flashing
beam falls upon the vessel.
A still more extraordinary effect is
produced when the beam of sunlight is
made to pass through prism, so as to
produce what is called the solar spec
trum The disk is turned and the COL
ored light of the rainbow is made to
break through it. Now, if the ear be
placed to the vessel containing the silk
or other material, as the colored lights
Of the spectrum fall upon it, sounds
will be given by the different parts OF
the spectrum and there will be silence
in other parts.
For example, if the vessel contains
red worsted and the green light flashes
upon it, loud sounds will be heard
WI en- the red and the blue parts of the
rainbow fall upon the vessel. Other
colors produce no sounds at all.
Green silk gives out sound best in
red light Every kind of material gives
more or less sound in different colors
and no sound at all in others.-Har-
per's Weekly.

Livingstone's Resourcefu!ness.

David Livingstone, explorer and mis-
sionary, was man Of varied accom-
plishments. Besides getting himself
taught on board ship, and later by
Sir Thomas Maclear, to take with
great accuracy astronomical obserVa-
tions for fixing latitude and longitude,
besides acquainting himself with bot
any and geology, with patristic litera-
ture and Egyptology, Livingstone was
an excellent mechanic, steersman
and mariner His resourcefulness
was at all times remarkable. When
he was hard up for fuel on his first
steamer journey up the River Shire
he landed in the elephant marsh. Here
no trees existed and no fuel was OBJ
tainable, but his men found many
bones Of slaughtered elephants, Liv-
ingstone at once took the bones on
board, burned them in the furnaces OF
the Ma-robert, and so continued his
journey.

To the Members Of the Grand Jury
of Lexington County:

UenCIomen:
notice in the published report Of your proceedings
that YOU recommend that all banks be required give
security for public funds deposited with them.
Lexington county has had such heavy losses from
doing business with one so-called bank that not
Incorporated and with another that had paid in cap
tai of only $4,000 that it is to guard against such
banks. But it not UNI just to make distinction be-
tween banks; and to put the class the bank that
has but $4,000 capital and the one with than
100000 capital and surplus?
The Bank Of Western Carolina has been organized
to give absolute safety to its depostors lwould have
to lose more than $55000O before any deposor could
lose dollar and is managed by board Of directors
who are not in the habit Of losing, is shown by the
fact that less than four years of its existence it has
canned and divided among it's stockholders in dividends
$133691 besides adding steadily to it's undivided profits
To require such bank, organized and so man
aged to give bond to insure deposits to Ignore the
fact that it has given all its depostors bond Of over
half million dollars invested according to the banking
laws Of South Carolina and scrupulousy guarded by
board Of thirty directors who rank high among the
business men Of South Carolina.
There are bonding com anies doing business in South
Carolina with only one hundred thousand dollar capital
ould YOU think that the bond Of such company would
add much to The safety Of money that already had back
of it the five hundred and fifty thousand dollar guaran
tee of the strongest state bank in South Carolina?
According to The report Of the State Bank Examiner
there are 45 banks in South Carolina that have less
than nineteen thousand dollar capital and the combined
capital of 45 Of these banks is less than that OF the
Bank of Western Carolina.
It is only fair that you should recognize the dstinc-
ton between weak and strong banks. Should you
recommend that banks with capital Of less than one
hundred thousand dollars be required to give bonds
you would have reason on your side bat your present
Recommendation be adopted it will that public
funds viii only be deposited i'll weak banks fer they
the only that will wrong their regular deposi
tors by prefering certain creditors to others
Yours very truly,
H. NJ. DIBBLE,
President of the Bank Of Western Carolina.

CANDLES BURN
AGAIN ON ALTAR
AFTER so YEARS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAIA
NEW CASTLE, Del. May 5.--Al-I
though the pair of brass candlesticksl
that disappeared from the altar OF
Emmanuel Episcopal Church a week
ago yesterday have not been found,
candles were used on the altar at the
morning services yesterday The
missing candlcsticks were presented
10 the church by the late George T.
Hewlett, in memory of his wife.
When the congregation assembled
for the services yesterday morning
they were surprised to sec a pair OF
brass candle sticks containing burn
candles on the altar and when in tho
course of the service the Rev. Alden
Richey, ID. d., referred to them, thol
congregation at first thought tho
missing sticks had been returned.
Mr.. Richey dwelt on the theft Of the
brass sticks last week, saying il was
sacrilege and that those on the
altar we're fifty or sixty years old.
having been used in the church half
century ago.
The use OF candles in the church
has caused a difference Of opinion
among members of the congregation
for some time, and il is thought they
we're taken by some one with low

Just what will be done In the mat
ter is unknown. Dr. Richey having

LOW TARIFF
TO PARALYzE
INDUSTRIES
Manufacturers Of WOOIen and
Brass Products Hard Hit
by Democratic Bill
REFUSED CONCESSIONS
TO AID COMPETITION

Already reports of the depressing
effect upon the big manufactures in
this country which will follow the
passage by Congress of the Demo-
cratic Underwood tariff bill are being
received by Wilmington bankers.
These stories of industrial depression,
which already has got a start in an
ticipation of the removal of the pro-
tective tariff and the opening of the
doors of the country to an influx Of
products of poorly paid foreign labor,
merely presage the prostration o<
some of the biggest manufacturing
plants of the country. That seems in
evitable when the lower tariff sched-
ules framed by the Democrats in dis
regard of business needs are put into
effect.
According to reports that have
reached some men active in financial
affairs in this city, two lines of in
dustry, are to receive a staggering
blow by the Democratic tariff bill,
with indications that one business will
be knocked out and that the other may
have to Euccumb eventually or geratly
reduce wages if it is to compete with
foreign-made products. One of these
industries is that of manufacturing
brass articles, and the other is the
production of wooden goods.
To illustrate the effect Of the reduc-
tion in duty on finished brass articles,
one Wilmington banker today said he
had been told by one of the biggest
manufacturers of brass in the country
4 that the American manufacturers
Y could not hope to compete with Eng
land and Germany in that line. Either
the wages of workmen in this country
would have TO be reduced materially
90 try to compete with the low prices
of European brass products. made by
men who receive low wages, or the
plants in this country would have to
suspend operations entirely.
This manufacturer irformer the
Wilmington banker that he proposes
10 close his plants II he can secure
the American agency for products OF
some English and German BRASS man
ufactories. He figures that this would
be preferable to trying to compete in
the making of brass articles with for
eign producers who will have the
benefit of low wages and tar.ff that
carries no protection to the American
industry or workmen. The manufac-
turer referred TO has made study OF
and comparison of trade conditions as
at present and under the proposed
Democratic tariff. He is confronted al
every turn with the fact that the
manufacturing business in this coun-
try, and particularly the thousands Of

Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock of Nebraska, a

committee of the senate, is already
receiving many answers to the series
of questions which he sent out in be-
half of the committee for the purpose
of finding out exactly what the bank
ers and financial experts of the coun-
try wanted done in the way OF bank
ing and currency reform. If the tariff
bill is passed early enough it is likely
that currency question will come up
for action. AS an evidence of their
desire to expedite legislation on cur
rency subjects a subcommittee of the
currency committee was appointed to
formulate a list Of questions. This
