Abundant Proofs That
Sound Waves Can Kill
Living creatures can be struck dead
by sound waves too highly pitched for
the human ear to hear them, writes
T. a Bridges. These high frequency
waves—called super-sonlca—have been
tried on animals and produced Instant
death. The sound appears to shatter
the blood corpuscles, and death Is as
sure and sudden as If the creatures
had been struck by lightning. Sound
can do many things which seem mys-
terious and almost miraculous. For
instance, fire can be extinguished by
sound. Some little time ago Mr.
Charles Kellogg of California gave a
demonstration of the power of sound
over flame, and by drawing a violin
bow across a piece of aluminum ex-
tinguished a burning gas Jet at 50
feet Sound vibrations can not only
break a wine blass but can damage a
building. It Is suspected that the
deep, vibrating notes of organs can
cause vibrations which may actually
weaken the structure of s church or
Cathedral.

First Steam Carriage
Met With Disapproval
The London Times reprints the fol-
lowing from Its issue of August 5,
1829: A Gurney’s steam carriage ar-
rived on Monday, at the Cranford
Bridge Inn, from an experimental tour
to and from Bath. The success of this
trial much exceeds the most sanguine
friends of the invention. . . - Mr.
Gurney, his brother, Colonel Vlney,
Captain Dobbin, and assistants started
from Cranford bridge about 4 a. m.
They proceeded at a most rapid rat#
to Maidenhead, which they reached,
notwithstanding two or three delays,
in about an hour and five minutes—a
distance of nearly fifteen miles. After
this proof of their capability of speed,
they traveled more leisurely, until
they arrived near Malksham where
. . . they were attacked by some
brutal fellows, who, Imagined they
were “come to take the bread out of
their mouths." To prevent similar oc-
currences, It was thought advisable
to draw the carriage the remainder
of the way by horses. Having ex-
hibited the powers and practicability
of the Invention publicly in Bath, the
party left early on Monday morning
to return. Prudential considerations
Induced them not to light their fire
until they had passed the place of
their late annoyance. They then light-
ed. and amidst the most provoking de-
lays In securing supplies of water,
coke, and charcoal, came the last 84
miles In about 12 hours, thus giving
the proof experimental of the capacity
of using steam carriages on our ordi-
nary roads.

Left Player Pondering
The farmer owned fields on each
side of the golf links. It so happened
that he was taking a short cut from
one to another when the club’s worst
member was addressing his ball
The worst member waggled his driv-
er to and fro for several minutes,
missed fonr swings, and finally man-
aged to hit the ball about a dozen
feet Then he glanced up and saw
the farmer.
“I say," he protested, "only golfers
are allowed on this course, you know.”
The farmer nodded.
"I do know," he replied. "But I
won’t say nothin’ If you don’t."—Lon-
don Answers.

| Poultry Notes $
Always have feed and water avail-
able when lights are on.
• • •
Face the henhouse to the south.
Mnke the north, east, and west sides
wind proof.
• • •
Ground oats may be used for grow-
ing stock or laying hens when fed In
limited quantities.
* • •
Danger from overfeeding Is les-
sened if the chicks are fed often and
a little at a time for the first few
days.
• • •
Red mites may be controlled by
thoroughly painting the house with j
carbolineum. Spraying coal-tar dip is
also effective.
• * *
The greatest need of poultrymen to-
day Is not more hens, but better pro-
ducing hens. Hens that will return a
larger profit on the feed consumed.
• • •
Eggs going Into the machine are
just as important as the Incubator it-
self, In the spring hatch.
» • •
Many digestive troubles are avoided
If no solid feed Is given for the first
48 to 00 hours, in order that the yolk
In the chick’s body may be partially
absorbed.
• • •
There are four different kinds of oat
feeds employed in chick feeds. Oat
flour la used in practically all mix-
tures. It may be made at home if
one has a huller.
• • *
Rye, oats, or spring wheat, or other
spring grnlns would be very satisfac-
tory as a forage crop for geese.
Century of Brilliant Woman
Whatever the masculine attitude to-
ward her, woman (of the Sixteenth
century) was playing a widening so-
cial role. She was beginning to look
askance at the fireside and family
wash, and at least to gaze beyond the
threshold of her home. In all of which
may be seen a Sixteenth century ver-
sion of women’s rights. It was a cen-
tury of brilliant women; a mere list
of their name# is a bit dazzling:
Marguerite d’Angouleme; Vitoria Co-
lonna, Anne Boleyn, Catherine de Me-
dici, Diane de Poitiers, Sir Thomas
More’s daughter, Jeanne of Aragon,
and, a little later, Elizabeth, Mary
Stuart and others.—From “Rabelais,
Man of the Renaissance," by Samuel
Putnam.----- —
