A SOUND ANALYZER.

A VERY simple device for indicat.
"A ing to the eye the elements of a
compound sound Is the invention OF
Fiorentino of the University of Parma,
in Italy. This apparatus is especially
for use in the demonstration of acous-
tical laws in schools and classes, for
which purpose 1t serves as we'll as the
elaborate and expensive set Of spheri-
cal resonators invented by Helmholtz
and first used by him in his famous eX-
periments on musical sounds.
The Italian apparatus includes a Sc
ries of special resonators, each one
made of a thread of glass of appropri-
ate length. or. better, Of capillary
tube with very thin walls and with a
diameter of some hundrcdths of a
millimeter. They are fastened at
right angles, with gum lac, to small
hollow rod of glass of extreme light
ness. All are in the same plane and
on the same side of the rod. at inter.
walls Of one-eighth of an inch. The
supporti~y rod. which is enlarged at
its base, stands on a thin membrane
of elastic rubber, slightly stretched
over the aperture of a pasteboard
tube an inch or so in diameter.
The other end of the rod Is sup
ported by fine silk thread kept taut
by means of two steel wires fixed in
| the tube below. The various resona.
tors may be tuned, for example, with
| the consecutive notes of a piano OF
| organ, or of any other instrument
with a tempered scale. starting from

Institute of Philadelphia for having
eXperimentally solved the problem OF
the speed Of visible and invisible light
rays. This premium was established
in 1859. and, although not redeemed
by any one for period of 48 years.
DIR. Heyl offered a solution to the
problem of whether visible and in.
visible light rays travel at the same
speed. BY invisible rays is meant the
light that affects Photographic plates,
as well as heat rays that lie at the
other end Of the spectrum. Expert.
mentally, he proved that radiant heat
travels at the same velocity as that Of
light.
Before coming to the Bureau Of
Standards, about seven years ago, T..
Heyl served in the capacity OF COM
mercial physicist with a New York
concern. His researches while in the
employ of that company were instru
mental in finding a substitute cheaper
! than platinum for use as seals in In.
candescent lamps. This means more
economical household utilities. No.

vestigations was the attempt to eX-

1t was tightening fast now; there was
in the light of the sky trace of
amber of the morning. and little dark
clouds hung over the horizon. He
could hear the swish Of waves break
ing monotonously on the beach below
the rocks, and In his nostrils was the
fresh aroma of the open waters.
''Oh, is that you?"
1t was his daughters voice, filled
with surprise, but also there came to
his ears her pleasure, her delight at
waking to find him standing there,
and, for moment, he felt shaken by
the thrill Of it.
What you doing?"
He did not answer.

WITH rush of impulse he crossed

arms beneath her slender body, he
swung her up and held her close to
him. She might have been surprised
by the fierceness of his embrace, as
he was. He knew now that no love
Of woman could ever inspire the hum
ger of heart expressed, as his was now
expressed, in the tensity of his mus
cles, in the eagerness of his own face,
as he held his daughter in his arms.
She might have been surprised, but
she only yielded and gave little cry
of gladness. -
He took her to the balcony and put
her on the fiat top of it's thick stone
wall. where the wind blew the edges
of her filmy nightdress about her slen-
der ankles. and. with one arm about
her, he felt the coldness of her wrist

NapoleOn'S Handwriting.

OF Napoleon's chirography. When a
young man Napoleon did ~nt write a

but when to Corsican Capt. Bona.

THAT Is nothing to me-" he said,
weaving his own interest with hers;

He knew that was untrue; he was
concerned with his own, too. He felt
with vague discomfort that he had
come to the last landmark OF his life.
He must have her. She would length

within him free again.

as now. to reach out for all he had
hoped some time to enjoy and own
and love. his fingers would close over
1t all. Well. perhaps they could. 1t
would take effort. Half-dead things
In him would have to be whipped into
life again. His ways, his habits: his
routine Of life and thought must
change.
"Well." Muriel was saying to him in
her voice which always seemed sleek
and tawny, like a panthers coat.
Here we are alone. There Is nothing
here but the sound Of the pines, and
the moonlight falling in weird pat
terms. and-us."
She laughed softly and threw the
painted shawl from her bare shoulders.
Her head was thrown back. her lips
haling the fragrance of the night.
PASCOM saw her come slowly with.
= in a pace of him. He imagined
that he felt the warmth Of her breath.
She had opened her arms widely
these beautiful and sinuous arms-as
if welcoming him into their embrace.
This was the moment which had al
ways haunted him. this the moment in
which was crystallized the symbol of
all his hidden desires, all the un-
spoken. wistful sense Of fraternity
with all the myriads of young love
through all the ages of abandon. This
was renewal. This was the eternal
urge. 1t was his: it was there within
his reach. He was at the edge of the
fountain of youth. The waters had
almost come up to touch lips, thirsty
for A lifetime!
But in that moment Bascom was
aghast with hesitation. Something
within his soul sent forth thin cur
rent OF poison for that moment; some
chill ran into the warmth of his veins:
some restoration Of regularity and
sloth brought back to normal heart
which with old instincts had leaped
and pounded with the mere nearness
Of her.
Something had turned the edge Of
the sharp blade of his desires; some
thing weary ran through his nerves,
like the fumes of ether.
Youth! Where were the old fires?
She had suddenly dropped her arms.
They were pressed close to her sides,
the muscles tense.
WELL" said she, breathing fast,
Have you still another cigarette in
your case?'
He did not wish to let that moment
pass with her mere pretense that 1t
had not existed.
II was thinking" he said, in a voice
which even in his ears sounded like
the deliberative enunciation Of an old
mani was thinking. Muriel. dear
girl, that perhaps it would be unfair to
YOU"
He had sense Of defeat. as one
who suddenly realizes that an attempt
has been made to do an impossible
thing. 1t was in his voice, his face,
the droop Of his strong body.
"Well?" she said inquiringly, and
pressed her lips together.

tween his fingers, and he had failed
to catch 1t.
In a panic of disordered personality
he paced the bricked terrace, listen
ing to the pulsing chorus of the in
Sects. The band at the Casino had
ceased; the lights went out. 1t must
be 2-no, after 2. This was Saturday.
Saturday and April. The. days. and
weeks and months to come began to
affiict his mind. There would be days
without thrill. without zest: worse yet.
without emotion. Something in him
would die lingering death-a slow,
horrible, wasting death. He could see
himself doddering in a corner of the
club in town. like those old bachelors
who were always Watery of eyes, as If
undignified woe had left the externals
of grief long after the eating worm
had eased to find any heart to con-
sumo in infinite mouthfuls.
OF course. he could go back for
Muriel. He could swing 1t, If he
wished. He could bargain with her.
Perhaps another time the leap of
youth would be in his veins and
sinews, and in his brain and soul. Or.
at any rate, he could buy her. She
would marry him. If not Muriel, then
some other.
And then his courage broke, and he
was left with his own dead, listless
life. He went into the hall and stood
looking into the long mirror This
image in the glass!-it was that OF an
old man. 1t was saying to him: "She
wouldn't give you any youth. No
youth at all"'
In the library the clock was striking
4. Who would believe that Bascom
would sit up half the night like this,
like a thing In a cage Of It's own new
convictions. talking to itself in the
voice Of man unbalanced? Who
would believe that he would stand
here, in this dim light from the one
tiny lamp in the ceiling. while ghostly
feet creaked softly on the stair-treads
and the gray of dawn crept through
the long windows, trembling, defeated,
