A massive Quincy granite monument has been erected over the grave of the late Gen. Abner Doubleday, at Arling- ton, by his former comrades of the First Corps Association, Army of the Potomac. The column is similar to that which marks the grave of Gen. Philip Sheridan. SOUND OF THE SUNBEAM. Delicate Mechanism W‘hich Determines the Vocalvrroperties of Color. One of the most wonderful discov- eries in science that have been made - within the last year or two is the fact that a beam of light produces sound. A beam of sunlight is thrown through a lens on a glass vessel that contains lampblack, colored silk or worsted or other substances, says a writer in Pear- son’s Weekly. A disk having slits or openings cut in it is made to revolve swiftly in this beam of light so as to cut it up, thus making alternate flashes of light and shadow. On putting the ear to the glass ves- sel strange sounds are heard so long as the flashing beam is falling on the vessel. Recently a. more wonderful dis— covery has been made. A beam of sun- light is caused to pass through a prism so as to produce what is called the solar spectrum, or rainbow. The disk is turned and the colored light of the rain- bow is made to break through it. Now place the ear to the vessel con- taining the silk, wool or other material. As the colored lights of the spectrum fall upon it sounds will be given by dif- ferent parts of the spectrum and there will be silence in other parts. For instance, if the vesSel contains red worsted and the green light flashes upon it loud sounds will be given. Only feeble sounds will be heard if the red and blue parts of the rainbow fall upon the vessel and other colors make no sound at all. Green silk gives sounds best in red light. ’ Every kind of material gives more or lesssound in different colors and utters no sound in others. Mr. Penrose, late director of the Brit- ish archaeological school at Athens, has just been elected president of the Brit- ish Institute of Architects, of which he has been a. member for more than 50 years. There are now nearly 11,000,000 Roman Catholics in Russia, about one in ten of the whole population. In the former kingdom of Poland they form three-quarters of the population. St. Petersburg contains 35,000 and Moscow 15,000 Catholics. Purify And Enrich Your 'Blood By Taking ER’S ‘ f’ sarsaparilla It was the Only Sar'saparilla admitted At World’s- Fair.
