DID you HEAR THAT LlGHT7
" Not Your Hearing May Be pefec-
tive--Every Kind Of Material Pro
duces Some Sound.

It is no unusual thing to see ray
of light. but have you ever heard one?
Recent experiments prove that a beam
Of light can. under certain conditions.
produce perfectly clear and distinct
sounds, a writer in Harper's Weekly
says.
A ray OF sunlight is thrown through
lens on a glass vessel that contains
lampblack, colored silk or worsted. A
disk with slits or openings cut in 1t Is
made to revolve swiftly In this beam
OF light, 50 as to cut ii up, and
cause alternate flashes OF light and
shadow When you place your ear to
the glass vessel you hear strange
sounds as 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 the solar spectrum. The
disk Is turned rapidly and the colored
light Of the rainbow breaks through 1t
and falls on the glass vessel. Now II
you place your ear to the glass you
win hear sounds from certain parts
of the spectrum, but none from the
others.
For example, If the vessel contains
red worsted and the green light flashes
upon II quite loud sounds will be given
out. Only feeble sounds will be heard
when the red and blue ends OF the
spectrum fall upon the vessel. Other
colors produce no sounds at all. Green
silk gives out sound best in a red
light Every kind Of material gives
more or less sound In different colors
and no sound at all in others.

! GOSHEN HILL

Well, as you have failed to note any
locals for sometime past 1 herewith
hand you short budget of ideas for
your newsy paper. Really you have
a county paper, as your correspond
Ients represent every part Of the
county except Goshen Hill. We have
some fame connected with our his
tory, for instances: Gov. Gist, Con-
gresham Rodger, Col. Robert Beatty
of political fame, State senator,
Capt. Douglass, Representative
Townsend, County Commissioner
Mobley, j. c. Hunter, who was your
efficient postmaster for a long time;
in fact Goshen Hills has furnished
good men in every vocation of life
From professional standpoint, such
as doctors, lawyers, senator's, con-
gresham, governors, representatives,
professors, bank presidents, but of
course they have gone to the great
beyond, where all good men go.
hope to see this same part of the
county in the future occupy the same
high plane as those people represent
ed In bygone days. For in the near
future we will have compulsory
school attendance and that will bring
the great educational move that is
sweeping the county right here to our
own doors. But with only about 81 .o5
per scholar we cannot expect much
out of those that are of school age
now. The future of our township
Goshen Hill )of Confederate fame,
she having furnished so many good
men to same we are few and far be-
tween down here holding the hills and
wales of our grandfathers. In their
days they cultivated their lands in
long rows and kept up a steady re-
ward of 25 lashes to each plow thar
could not run straight for the broken
country, shows that same was cult
waited up and down grade, as the
roads run now. Well branch off on
the roads down here and advance the
idea for just change in the general
routine. Send the road scrape, count
commissioners, and scrape the mud
out of the roads, that the pedestrians
might have right of way for short
while.
We note from the Whitmire CORE
spondent that Ben S. Hardy is posted
on the political condition and that he
will probably be candidate for
something this summer. Thanks to
Mr.. FAINT for his exalted opinion of
me. But he will have to go back to
his vocabulary and guess again. I
deny the allegation as to being in pol
itics this summer. But thanks, nv
friend FAINT, for advancing the idea
ahead of time. There is one great
drawback with people aspiring TO po-
lltlcal positions in not being posted
as to the situation of the same. Com
pulsory school attendance is the first
stepping stone as to same. From
the account of our legislators, 1
think they failed to be posted as to
anything and the senate was GEN
orally speaking opposed to every
thing, but dining. winning and junket-
ing trip, which is the fault of the
inner man.
