THE PnACTICAL USE OF EXHAUST

An r.Irctrtenl Method of I'repnrlnu: Pa
per Nlenrll for Letter umt Clreulnr,
rhcnoiiieiui of Hoiiml Ulna trilled by Toy
Mualcul Iiiatriiiiient.
Tho student of ncouitics neoit not go be
yond tho rwilm of toys for much of his ex
perimental npiNirntus, Tho Belcutlllo Alitor
icntt calN nttvntlou to various toy mutlcnl In

phenomena of sound very satisfactorily, if
not ipilto as well 11s soino of tho moru protou

A
KIO. 1 A XYIJPIIONB.
Numlicrcd with theso liistruiiicnts nro tha
xylophouo and tuctnlophone, which employ
free vlhrntiug rods Mipjiortcd at their nodes.
Tho xylophouo consists of n series of wooden
rods of dllTcrent lengths, bored trnnsvcrKol
nt their iKiiuts of least vibration nud strung
together 011 cords. Tho Instrument may
cither bo suspended by tho cords or laid upon
loosely twisted cords situated nt tho nodes.
By passing tho small spherical wooden mal
let accompanying tho Instrument over tho
wooden rods, very ngrecnblo llipild musical
tones nro produced by tho vibration of tho
rods, and when tho rods nro struck by tho
mallet they yield tones which nro very puro,
but not prolonged. Tho cheapest forms of
xylophouo nro tuned by slitting tho rods
transversely nt their content on tho under
sido by menus of n saw to a depth required
to glvo them tho flexibility necessary to tho
production of tho desired tones. Tho rods
nro divided by tho nodes into three vibrating
parts, tho parts between tho nodal iwlntsatul
tho cuds being nbout one-fourth of tho dis
tance between tho two nodes. The niotalo
phono is similar in form to tho xylophone,
but, as its namo suggests, tho vibrating bars
are made of nietol hardened steel.
FIO. 3 MUSIC BOX.
Tho toy mutlo box furnishes an oxntnploof
tho clntt of Instruments in which musical
sounds nro produced by tho vibration of bars
or tongues which aro rigidly held nt 0110 end
and freo to vibrato nt tho other end. Tho
tongues of tho inuslo box aro madoby slitting
tho edgo of n stocl plate, forming a comb,
which is nrrnngod with its teeth projecting
into tho paths of tho pins of tho cylinder,
which nro distributed around and along tho
cylinder in tho order necessary to rccuro tho
required succession of tones. Tho engagement
of one of tho plus of tho cylinder with 0110 of
tho tongues raises tho tongue, which, when
liberated, yields tho noto duo to Its position
in tho comb. Tho tongues nro tuned by Illing
or Bcrnplng them nt their f reo or fixed ends,
or by loading them at their froo ends. In this
instrument tho sonorous vibrations nro pro
duced by tho tongue, which itself has tho do
dlred pitch.

Tho Carriage Monthly tolU Its readers how
to remove varnish from a lKinel after it has
pitted and lias stood so long that it is too
Imrdnud dry for turpentine to bofteu it, but
too dry for tho htono to rub It. A good way
Is to run over It lightly with spirits of nm
inoul.i. Do not let tho ammonia remain too
long on tho varnUh before you use tho scraper
on it, ns it will lie likely to oat through and
airect the under, coats. Tho object to bo
gained Is only to tako oil tho pitted coat
After removal, wash off with Castile soap
and w er. It bland an hour or two to
onablo tho under coat to got hardened. Again
rub down with rag and pumico htono lightly,
and thou rovnriilsh. It would Ihj letter, if
tho tlino will warrant It, to coat over again
