ANCIENT AIHENIAN LIVE.

The fourth of the series of University extension lectures on "Anciem Athenian Life" was delivered by Professor Tucker, Litt, D., at St James' hall, Sydocy las month, The lecturer dealt with the Athenian woman, who was held in her time to be Inferior to man. Woman's duty, according to Plato, was to keep house well and obey her husband. Euripides expressed the view of the Athenians that a woman was none the better for being too intellectually clever. She learned cooking and sewing, while music was also common accomplishment. In early childhood the Athenian girl had a fairly happy time, but as the approached marriageable agekerfreedom was restricted, and her opportunities of seeing

love mattered little. The father, who provided the dowry, looked about for a suitable husband- The eldest male relative, if not in direct suc-4 cession, was entitled to marry the girl, but failing him the father looked for some other chilzen in suitable pecuniary circumstances, or employed a professional matchmaker. Euripides regarded marriage as a necessary evil, and Solon refused to place a tax upon bachelors be- cause he considered a wife a heavy load to carry." In an ideal matriage the Greek bride was about 18 and the bridegroom 32. The bus band had no claim upon the wife's dowry, and so, despite theoretic inferiority, a wealthy wife often became the predominant partner. As mistress of a house the Athenian wife had to exercise discipline over the slaves, who were apt to put breakages down to weasels and tame snakes-the prototypes of the modera cat~ kept to devour mice. She was allowed to go to the theatre for tragedies, to processions, mys. teries, weddings, and funerals. Her attire generally consisted of two articles, the tunic or undergarment, and the shawl or overgarment. The tunic might have sleeves, which even then varied from tightness to a bell-shape. Rouge, padding, and other aids to Nature were also

A MACHINE TALKING 3 MILES.

A NEW PHONOGRAPH.

Some time so, we drew attention (says the Scientific merican) to the ingenious inven. tion that had been devised by the Fan, C. A. Pranas, inventor of the steam turbine, and Mr. Horace Shart, by the employment of which,

the reproductive sounds of phonographs and similar machines could be appreciably rein forced. At that time the invention was in a purely experimental stage. In the interval, however, the inventors have been perfecting it so as to be a commercial and practical attach ment to talking machines. in this direction they have now succeeded, and recently an in- teresting demonstration of its practicability was Riven in connection with a gramophone.

In this device, which is called the Auxeto- phone, the usual diaphragm of glass or mica in the producer is replaced by a small valve, which controls the admission of compressed air to the trumpet. The air is supplied from a small pump, or bellows, contained in the pe destal supporting the instrument, at a pressure of about two pounds to a square inch. The valve, though of a small size, consists of a fine comb of aluminum, or magaalium, and the teath of this comb just cover the gaps in a cor- responding comb of brass, through which the air tries to escape from the compressed-air cham connected with the supply tube.

The little magnalium valve, which is very light, is hinged on steel springs, so that, when its teeth are slightly lifted from the brass comb, or valve seat, the air is allowed to escape at both sides of each tooth is very large quanti ties, up through the two combs, and into the trumpet When, however, the two combs ap. proach closely, and almost touch, the escape of! air is checked, and altnost ceases,

It will thus be noticed that the lightest movement of the magnalium varies the admis sion of air into the trumpel; and, being con. necied to the need'es of the gramophone the motion of the valve corresponds exactly to the motion imparted to is by the record, and also to the original wave of tound as recorded by the recording instrument when the record was made.

The auxetophone reproducer may, therefore, be called an air relay, for, by lis use, the gramo phone record has only to work a valve of specia! construction, which controls the powers of the compressed air. It is, therefore, of much greater power and volume than the diaphragm. reproducer hitherto used, while it has the addig tional feature of enforcing the harmonies, which gives increased fatness of tone.

The reason of this remarkable change in tone is somewhat complex to explain, but the velo cky of motion of the valve causes, or correr- ponds to acceleration of the velocity of air in the trumpet. When this it worked mathema- tically, it is found that the air wave provided in the trumpet is differential of the wave on the record; in other words, the harmonies are rein- forced, or a richness is imparted to the sound. Another feature of the auxelophone is an ingen ious little viscous connection," as it is called, introduced between the needle and the valve,
