Adjustments are so made that the displacement af ons line multiplied by 20 shows the difference of altitude in metros, and another displacement multiplied by 160 gives the distance. From experiments at 250 metres, it appears that the maximum error in distance may be reduced to about a fifth of one per cont, with correspondi ingly greater average accuracy in elevation.
The photo-electric propertice of selenium offer striking possibilities to the student. In ope of several experiments described by Mr. J. W. Giltay, a selenium cell is mounted in a drum resembling & fluoroscope, and is placed in pirenit with a telephone, when intermittent illumination of the selenium is made audible in tones of corresponding pitch. In another experiment, an acetylene flame is vibrated by speaking into a microphone, the vibrations being -converted inte sound by the selenium cell and telephone. This experiment is varied by analosing the selenium cell in a box with three small incandescent lamps connected in series, these lamps being fed by 16 accumulators and inserted in the secondary circuit of an induction soil, with a carbon microphone in the primary circuit. Speaking into the microphons sets up variations of laminosity which are changed back into sound by the selenium cell.

This trao account was givan to me by Mrs PERRIER JOUËT
Spary, Holly Cottage, Newchurch West, near Chepstow, on Novem er 28th, 1899. There are, one might say, a thousand symptoms of dyspep- Bia; bat Lwant to briefly examine this wonderfal record.
One man in seven, it is said, dies of consump tio. Thats not true. Que man in every seven may die of so-called consumption. If indigestion stops blood-making the lungs must suffer, and the tissues of the body naturally die and wante away.
The truth is dyspepsin can simulate con sumption like spider simulates death, or an inset counterfeits a dried twig. The most practised eys is deceived. Strike at the root; that is the only remedy. Take Seigel's Syrup Remove the sole cause.
Clear the stomach and bowels for action, and asthma, and uric acidity to nature to deal with. leave counterfeit cousumption, heart disease,
Sho knows how to cure you.
Remember also that this record climb could over have been written if Mrs. Spary had even [dv hesitated or changed bar mind.
