Lona Drawn Out Elections.

No complaint with regard to undue
limitation of polling time was possible
in the old parliamentary days. The
danger was that polling might be pro-
longed for a fortnight or month.
Drastic action to bring the poll to a
close once provoked riot In the West
minister division of London. At the
general election that began on April
25, 1741, the two Westminster minis
terial candidates were on the fifth day
of polling well ahead, but an. opposi-
tion party of electors approaching the
hustings in great force, the high bailiff
(who favored the ministerialists) de-
clared that he feared riot and closed
the poll. The baffied voters rioted and
the military were called out The high
bailiff had afterward to apologize on
his knees to the speaker and pay a
heavy fine.

YOUR OWN VOICE.
How YOU May Hear II as It Sounds to
Other Persons Ears.

EtOW WV way FVGdT u as w OUunQo "
Other Persons Ears.
Laloy, who appears to have scien-
tifically Investigated the matter, as
sures us that not only does one not see
himself as others see him, but that he
does not hear himself as others hear
him. Some interesting experiments
were made by the French savant in
this connection.
In order to ascertain whether a man
really knew the sound of his own
voice, Laloy has been at some pains to
determine the facts. His experiments
show that If person record on a
phonograpb disk few sentences pro-
nounced by himself. together with 9th
ers recorded by friends. and causes the
machine to reproduce these. 1t most
frequently happens that the man more
easily recognizes the voices of his
friends than he does his own.
1t appears that the differences lies
in the quality Of the tone. One hears
his own voice not only through the
air, as do his auditors, but across the
solid parts between the organs Of
speech and those or hearing. The
sound thus produced has a different
timbre from that conducted to the ear
by the air above.
If one entertain any doubt as to this
snt him try the following experiments:
Take the end of wooden rod between
the teeth and pronounce the vowel
continuously. Let the other end be
taken alternately between the teeth
and released by another person who at
the same time stops his ears. The lat
ter will find that every time he seizes
the rod in his teeth the sound will be
stronger than when 1t reaches the ear
through the air above and that 1t has a
different quality. The passage of
sound through solid body augments
its intensity and mobiles its quality

An Early Postal Experiment.

AS long ago as the seventeenth cen
tury the attempt was made to prepay
letters by using stamps. In 1858 Paris
tried a system that even provided pill
lar boxes for the letters, which were
to have a billet, price sol. attached to
the letter or parcel. The experiment
met the usual experience Of the pio-
neer-ridicule. Mice were dropped into
the letter boxes, and when the letters
came to be collected 1t was found that
the animals had made hearty meal of
them. AS nobody could be sure of the
fate Of the parcels. the experiment
came to a sudden end.

A DIPLOMATIC KNOT.
II Wasn't Tied In q TansIe just For
the Fun of the Thinu,


Ever since diplomacy was first In
vented it's most eminent practitioners
have expended their best efforts in
mystifying if not in actually deceiving
their rivals. Uber Land und Nicer cites
an amusing anecdOte of diplomatic life
in the eighteenth century.
In 1741 Count Bestushew was sent
by the emperor of Russia to Stockholm
to put the question Of war or peace to
the Swedish government. Upon arriv-
ing the count made known his mission
and then waited patiently for an an
swer.
Finally when he had almost given up
hope Of getting a reply he received a
long communication from the Swedish
minister of war. Eagerly Count Bestu-
shew opened the letter, for he knew
that 1t contained the long expected an
swer. But to his despair he found 1t
so encumbered with official phrases
and formalities that he could make
nothing of its meaning. For two hours
he struggled In vain to comprehend the
confused document. Then he hastened
to the minister of war.
my dear Count Bestushew," said
the minister when the count had ex-
planned his difficulty, 81 have no au-
thority to communicate to you orally
