of pine board abont half an inch thick
and eight inches square. Out of the cen

Which apparently rested against a thin
disk of bright metal sank into the oppo

mirror, and was abont as large around
ar the bottom of a rambler I asked Dr.
Beil what it was, and he told me that
it was a perfected instrument whose
original construction enabled him to
project his voice from one point to an
other through the medium of a sunbeam.
It enabled him, in other words, to send
sccnds along a ra j of light without the
aid of an electric wire. He took the in
strument and pnt the tube to his mouth,
holding the mirror sc that it caught the
sun and cast a little shadow disk of
light on the opposite wall. Then by
breathing slightly he made this shadow
increase and diminish, and assume va
rious shapes by the action of his breath
against the mirror diaphragm.
“ That shows yon ,1' said he, “ how
the action of the diaphragm is carried
along the ray.
Now, i f yon w ill put a

I did not meet the elder Dnmas until

were uneven and set apart from each

was straight. It was, however, lumpy,
with wide, strongly marked and quiver
ing nostrils. T o the pride of life he was
insensible. But he was a slave of the
flesh, though in a fitful way, and the
never ending pressure of creditors oblig
ed him to react against his conviviality.
One saw that he was n force of nature
and a child of nature.
His small hands and feet and his sin
gularly acute though good natnred blue
eyes alone indicated blood derived
from a long line of civilized northern
ancestors. There were traces of Africa
in his speech. His langh was a guffaw,
