Obstnclrs Itr.iiltlng from Wretclirillj'
Arnuttlr.
Tbero are somo buildings which are so ut
terly bad, from the acoustic point of vlow,
that oven experienced piakcr nr little bet
tor off than novices. The houe of lords has,
or used to have, nn unenviable reputation In
this respect A story Is told of the late l.uiil
Lyttelton thnt, nrter extmustltii; his voice in
vain clTorts to tnako his brother peer hear n
motion ii hlch he Ished to propose, lie In do
spalr wroto It doiin and naked the clerk nt
tho table to rend It out. Thnt functionary
however, as quite unable to decipher the
writing, nnd Iml Lyttelton complained that
ho was cut olT from communication with his
follows.
Hclcneo has not always been sucivnful In
coping with the acoustic dtlllculty In IMS
It was so dllllcult for speakers to make them
(elves heard In the French cliumlsjr that n
committee, consisting of tho leading sclentlflo
luminaries of tho day such ns Arugo, Ilnbl
not, Dumas (tho chemist, not tho author of
"Tho Threo Musketeers"), Decquerel, Chor
reul, Poulllot, Hegnault and Ouliamol wns
appointed to study the c;iso find suggest n
remedy. At ter uumci ous experiments they
hit on n contrivance designed on the most
scientific principles, which was to tnnko the
orator's voice ring llko n clarion to tbo
farthest benches Tho last stato of tbo speaker,
however, was worse than tho tlrsti ho felt as
if hlsvolco was stifled under a huge night
cap, and tho highly sclentlflo 'sound reflector
had to bo discarded as u failure.
Indeed, modern public bulldlugs aro so
often dcfcctlvo in this respect that 1 am not
surprised to find M. Ch. Unrnter, who de
signed tho Grand Opera, in Paris, exclaim
ing dolefully: "Tho sclenco of theatrical
acoustics Is still In its infancy, nnd tho result
In any given case is uncertain.'' So im
pressed Is ho with tho shortcomings of mod
ern architecture, as regards tho conveyanco
of sound, that ho frankly coufesHS that, in
tho construction of tho opera house, ho "had
no guldo, adopted no prluclplo, babcd his de
sign on no theory;" ho simply loft the acous
tic procrtlos of tho building to ebuueo. The
result has not been altogether satisfactory,
though it has been no worse than In many
other buildings where tho architect did hU
best to muko tho acoustic conditions perfect.
Uno of tbo most rcmarkablo buildings
from tho acoustic point of view that I haro
over secu is tho beehlvo shaped temple in
Salt Lake City. It holds from 10,000 to 14,
000 people, and ono can lltorally hear a pin
fall When 1 was In tho temple, n ith some
othor travelers, in 1SS2, tho functionary
corresponding to tho verger of ordinary
churches stood at the farthest cud and
dropped a pin into his hat. Tho sound of its
fall was most distinctly audlblo to all pres
ent. Tho scratching of tho pin against tha
ildo of tho hat was also plainly heard across
tho whole breadth of tbo bu.ldlng.
The temple was designed by Brigham
Young, w ho professed to liavo been directly
Suspired by tho Almighty in tho matter, as
bo know nothing nbout acoustics. Tho reso
nance of the building is so loud thnt branches
of trees havo to bo suspended from tho coll
ing lu several places lu order to diminish it.
It is likely enough that Itrlhnm Young's
inspiration had a very recondito and purely
terrestrial sourco, for his beehlvo Is only a
slight modification of tho whispering gallory
lu St. Paul's.
Tho bud uccoustlc properties of buildings
may bo remedied by whnt doctors call palll
ativo treatment. Charles Dickens' cxpcricuco
as a public reader mado him a man of ready
resource in meeting such difficulties. On ono
occasion, when bo was going to lecture at
Leeds, Mr. Edmund Yntcs, who had spoken
in tbo samo hall tho oveuing before, bent him
word that tho nccoustic conditions of tho
placo wero very bad,
gtapbed instructions that curtains should be
huug round the walls nt tbo back of tbo gal
Caution About Shopping In France.
I would advise my countrywomen abroad
to teJco good heed as to whnt they nro about
buforo giving orders to Parisian tradct'wo
pie. Never go shopping, dear ladles, except
to tho Hon March or tbo Mugaslu du Louvre,
where goods are spread out to bo looked nt,
nnd may be examined and priced according
ly, Neier order anything to tie made un
less you liaio definitely decided on the prico
and stylo of tho article, ami are fully ccrtalu
that jou w nut It, Never send goods back
or try to chaugo them after they nro onco
purchased. Thnt course of proceeding is con
trary to European rules and customs) tbo
tradeseople aro not used to it and nro apt to
re-tent It, And though this latct caso on
record, that of Nice nnd Mentono, presents
tho character of n most unjustifiable outrngo
on a 'wirty of American ladles, It must bo
confessed thnt In at least half tho Instances I
have (icmounlly known tho buyers wero nt
fault and not tho tradeseopla
Also, American women when they como to
Eurojie, nro apt to go shopping on a most
haphazard plan, especially in tho way of or
dering drc&scs. They will not stop to get in
formation about tho dressmakers they desire
to patroulzo from nny (lersou oxporlonced In
such matters, but they w ill order from wo
men w ho carry pattern goods about to tho
hotels labia) s a most risky course of proceed
lug), or they will drop in nt tho flrst shop
Uioy como across that tins pretty dresses and
n raps In tliu window, and will recklessly

Inquiry as to tho character of the establish

ono of tho great dressmakers of Paris, and
not a stitch was over set In thorn In tho house

CocnunuU Saved tho Steamship.
Tbo steamship Nanticoko, Capt, A. Hard

Tbo steamship left Baltimore on March 13
for Caratasco w ith a load of omlgrauts. After
discharging there sho loaded threo weeks ngo,
at Iluatan, a cargo of bananas nnd cocoanuts
and a fow plantains. Thoy left Huatan w ith
fifty-seven tons of English coal, supposed to
be sufllclout for ten or twolvo days' run.
With American coal It required but (lvo or
flvo and a half tons n day, whereas with this
English coal they consumed from nlno to
nlno and a half tons.
Tho captain, discovering his coal would not
hold out to reach Mobllo, started for tho Dry

that point when tho coal gavoout. Bulk

A Common Superstition.
Tho following iubtuucu of a curious belief
hold by country folk may interest somo of
your readers. An old mau iu this parish (lu
East Kent), who is in full possession of his
faculties, and, moreover, has a considerable
stock of knowledge of things connected with
tho farm and garden, Informed me tho other
day of tho following remarkable fact (I) iu

that if a hair Ikj taken during summer
from tho tall of a horse aud placed tu a run
ning stream It would beforo long become a
"water snake or an eel," the result depeudlug,
It nppeared, upon tho "breed of the horse."
Tho root of the hair becomes tho head of tho
now creature 1 This experiment ho had tried,
and though, somehow, ho had not soon these
hairs grow to full maturity, ho had undoubt

this belief Is held elsewhere, but I do not re

Going almost anywhere, enpocially in a
populous city, ono sees many people, and in
seeing 'wople one sees faces. There is much

all, the moro oxpressivo and truthful Index is

In tho study of faces It U qulto probable
that women prefer as their text book some
thing bound lu a shirt nud illustrated with a
mustache. It Is equally probable that men,
in a physiognomic study, prefer tho smooth
vellum of a woman's cheek. This dlffercnco
in taste is not unnatural, how over antipodean
it may be in its characteristics.
