Tho ro-onforeomont of sounds by tho vibra

investigated, says Sclcutiflo American, with
out npjwrntui such as is commonly employed
in nceoustleal cxiKtrimont. A slmplo ex
periment illustrating the fact that a sound
may lw strengthened by a conHucd lody of
nlr lit illustrated in Fig. 1, reproduced from
tho Journal alluded to.
no, 1 nn-ENFOUCKMKNT or vocal bounds.
Tho only requisite for this experiment Is a
paper tubo 10 or 18 Inchon long nnd nbout3
Inches in diameter, or, in tho nbsenco of such
n tube, a sheet of thick pncr rolled Into n
tubo will answer. Tills tubo should bo held
with ono end near the mouth, tho opposlto
end being closed by tho palm of tho hnnd.
By junking a Bound continuously with tlio
volco, gradually rising in pitch, for oxnmplo
by singing O, with tho volco rising from tho
lowest noto it Is enable of making, toward
tho highest note, a point will bo found whero
tho sound is largely increased. This iucrenso
of sound will occur nt the samo jiolnt in tho
scalo each tlmo tho experiment is tried with
tho saino tube, thus showing that tho dimen
sions of tho tubo nro In somo way related to
tho ro-enforced noto, nnd to that noto only.
It will nlso bo noticed that tho vibrations of
tho nir in tho resonant tubo not only nffect
tho auditory apparatus, but nlso have sufll
clont power to bo plainly pcrceptlblo to tho
senso of touch, tho vibration being folt by
tho hand.

VESSEL.
Another very slmplo experiment showing
tho Enmo phenomenon in a different wny is
illustrated In Fig. 2. In this caso tho rcso
unnt vessel consists of a vnso. Any vessel of
substantially tlio samo form may bo used.
Tho sizo is not vory material, but by making
several trials of different vessels n particular
ono will bo found which will yiold bottir
results than others on nccount of being oX tlio
correct dimensions. Tho ox)crIment consists
in holding tho vaso obliquely in closo prox
imity to tho ear, then running tho cliromatlo
sculo upon any instrument having sulllclcnt
rnugo, preferably upon n pluno or organ.
Bomo noto of tho scale will sound much
louder than any of tho others. Dy tilting
tho vnso slightly in ono direction or tho
other, so us to cnuso tho oar to partly closo
tho mouth of tho vnso, tho resonant qualltlos
may possibly bo Improved, ns the movement
of tho vaso in this manner amounts to tuning
tho resonator.
Kloetrlcul llullet Probe.
At a recent meeting of th Now York
Academy of Mcdlclno Dr. Glrdncr, of New
York, exhibited his telephonic bullet probo.
Tho interesting featuro of this probo is that
it Is operated by n curront of eloctrlclty ex
tracted from tho body of tho patient him
Eclf, In whom it is desired to locate a metal
lio missile Tlio construction of this probo
is as follows: To each of tho two terminals
of a telcphono receiver, nn insulated flcxlblo
wiro about four foot long is connected. At
tho freo end of ono of theso wired a hollow,
bulbous plcco of stool is attached. At. tho
freo end of tho othor wiro is n sultablo
handle, in which a probo may bo placed, nnd
hold by a clamp scrow. Tho internal ar
rangement of tho handlo is such that a per
fect electrical contact exists between tho end
of tho probo and that of tho wiro which ter
minates in tlio handlo; tho samo is truo for
tho end of tho other wiro and tho steel bulb.
When n current of electricity is passed
through tho coil in tho receiver by means of
tho bulb nnd tho probo, each tlmo thnt tho
current is mado nnd brokon a clicking or
rasping sound is heard in tho receiver held
to tho car. All sounds nro shut out except
thnt heard when tho bullet is touched; nnd
tho apparatus is so constructed thnt both
hands nro left free. A detailed description
of this probo is glvou In Tho Now York Med
ical Record.
Colored Mortar for Ilrlokwork.
Tho Ileal Estnto Hovlow says thnt common
bricks of almost nny district may boso6ortcd
as to produce contrast in tint or "tono" red,
nnd yellow or "cream color." This tint of
tho bricks may bo prosorvod ami heightened
by using mortar of tho samo tono or tint.
Furnace ashes and II mo will produco a dark
mortar, ouuded rod brick or red tlio mixed
with limo will givo a red tono to mortar, nnd
cheap mineral colors mny bo added to mortar
for iofnting, Tho color of mortar Is sadly
neglected, ns generally tho samo w hlto limo
and sands nro used for all tones of color In
brick, nnd not infrequently whito putty
mortar is used for pointing tho reddest as
well as tho lightest colored bricks tho light
colored work having harmony of breadth
nnd keeping, tho red portion being frittered
and broken up by tho contrast botn con bricks
nnd beds and Joints.

A ntmlnn "Afmir of Honor."
A Botuowhnt curious duel took place n fovr

portant Husslnu province of llcssarnbln, A
gentleman of thetiamoof Paul UanknlT nnd
I'riueo Tetnnrlnll qun.Telod together nlxmt
somo trivial matter nt tho "Nobles club," nnd
filially determined to sottlo their dlltetvnees
by n thiol. On tho following morning
thoy met with their seconds nnd n sur
geon on tho outskirts of tho city nnd ex
changed throo shots apleeo without doing nny
injury to ono another. On tho follow lug day
they ngaln met, nt tho club, and after n shott
coiivcrwttiou liegau to quarrel afresh with
increased vigor. Growing morn nnd inoro
excited the dUputont length degenerated into
n regular kicking nnd lluleuu" struggle.
Tho prince, who nil along had leen tho
aggressor, w as In tho net of receiving n sound
and well deserved thrashing, when suddenly
the thin varnish of ctvillutlnti gave way, nnd
nil his iiinnloand national barbarism getting
tho upper hand, ho (low with a wild jell nt
M. UsakolT, nnd, catching tho lnttcr'x lower
lip between his teeth, bit it completely off.
It Is needless to ndd that that terminated tho
light. M. Txakoir is still confined to his bed,
hopelessly dlsllgured for life, whllo his nether
lip Is deposited ns n kind of corpus delicti nt
tho police court, where tho caso will lie tried
when M. Usakoir is nhle to leave his bed.
Meanwhile tho prltico swaggers ulwut tho

Wo henrd n rnther lllustrntlvo storj lately
from ono of our neighboring factory towns.
An old fashioned Yiinkoo of Quaker stock,
who mutt small shoo factory, indulged in a
theory that nothing could pry out of his
mind thnt a moral wrong was somehow per
iwtrntcd ujwii thoeonununltyut largo if n
woman wero nl lowed toenrn nhovo u btijiu
lated sum each week. As his help was paid
by tho piece, nnd ho had to keep tally In tho
main with current prices, ho found tills
rather hniil to ninnago nt tlniiw, Tho swift
ness of ono young woman esjieclally troubled
him greatly. Hho would pendst In running
financially ahead of others. At last liomado
n special cut down in her prices, and told bur
why ho did It. Bho gave him n baleful
glance, tightened her lips, nnd went on work
ing. IJy Snturdny night noxt, dosplto tho
cut down, she mado ten cents nbovo the week
before Another week went by, w hen ho cut
her down still more. Tho dnmmlNtlH proved
gnmo nnd row) to tho occasion. After a week
or nioro tho Quaker conscience grow "scared"
nnd asked her what sho meant, "It means,"
said tho girl, "that you may keep on nnd I'll
keep on till you havo n corpso on your hntids
in this workroom, for I'm grit and you enn't
conquer inol" Tho rnco ended thero, nnd tho
girl wns allowed normal jny. Iloston Adver

plays during tho coining season. In order
that this result may bo accomplished ho is

that ho has Intel been devoting his Invent I vtj
mind to 11 now K'hcmo for teaching tho nlno
how to slide to bases. Ho has constructed a
plno f ninio 1 1 by 7 feet, covered with canvas,
drawn tightly, nnil provided with an over
covering of velvet carpet, and hits placed It
in tho gymnasium. It is In npiwnmiico much
like uglgantio woven wiro spring bed, cov
ered with carisit, and its surface is clovatcd
about four feet above tho ground. Tho can
didates inn u distance of twenty feet or so,
and then hurl themselves headlong upon this

A Ntm-y with u Moral.
A gentletnau doing business down town
mado nu appointment with his wife, beforo
he left homo In tho morning, to meet her nt 0
o'clock in n fashionable up town restaurant,
where they wero to tuko dinner. Sho reached
the restaurant u few minutes loforo ho did.
As soon as she entered it n man In n swallow
tailed coat hastily advanced and told her in
a decisive tono that bIio must leavo, for womon
wero not allowed there alone nt that hour.
Sho wns nonplussed for a moment, but re
plied thnt her husluiud would arrive in a fow
minutes. Tho mini would tuko no explana
tion, but throw open tho door for hor to leavo.
Sho burst into tears as sho felt tho slinino of
her situation, nnd walked out to tho street,
w hich sho reached Just as hor husband ar
rived. In a moment thero was a pretty hot
sceno in the restaurant, into which her hus
band rushed, but that did not mend tho caso
for her. Tlio moral of this Incident Is that
bujicriutciidcnts of fashionable restaurants
should nlwaya net with discretion. Now

Tlio Latest Nuisance.
Ono of tho present nuisances in Now Haven
Is tlio boy who wants n stamp. Ho makes
tho llfo of tho uvcrngo business maun burden.
A certain manufacturer of rubber stamps has
offered nu Inducement to tho !) by telling
them thnt nil who get 600 stain ted names
can hnvo u ruluVr stamp with tho boy's nnmo
on. So nil tho boys are "stamp eniy" now.
A business man said recently that he had had
nt least twenty boys in his storo during tho
day who wanted him to stamp his mime in n
book. Tho craze bus spread all ocr town
among tho boys, and parents aiu lioslegcd
with applications to stamp their nnmo in
some ImxjIc or other. Wearied pnterfnnilllns
my it is worso than tho pottugo stamp crazo
