A Scientific Discovery.

The "Pall Mall Gazette" says :— " There is qtiite a nutter of excitement in the world of art and music over a curious scientific discovery, made by Mrs Watts- Hughes. Mrs Hughes, whose maiden I name was Megan Watts, is a Welsh lady, a born singer, whose wonderful gifts made it certain a few years ago that the highest position in the musical world lay within her reach if she chose to strive for it. Her first professional tour after the training of her voice by Signor Garcia, and after she had carried off the King's Scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music, was proof of her rare talents. Partly on ac count of ill-health y partly because she had married, this greafc singer retired almost before her name was known. She sings now only for charities, but has taken to investigating all the subjects connected with.the human voi.ee.

, A representative of the paper called on her and found the room full of beautiful figures—rs .9me transparent, having been transferred'to glass, others j'l ■' V' 1:. ■'! on china others [aii hour ■•'•\. •■■ :: ■.■ tints yet drying on them. > Some idea of their striking variety and loveliness may be gathered from the reporter's descrip tion. "The lower window panes were ornamented with the tone pictures, which are harmonious in color as well as in sound. On some of them a shell, pearly gray, and exquisitely shaded, lay. half hidden tin a bed of daintiest green'seaweed, through the branches of which the water of aolear blue pool could be seen; on another twigs of tender ferns drooped gracefully over the mouth of a miniature cavern or mingled with the fantastic forms of sea anemones or corals. Again, a small palm tree grew out of the side of a steep rock, high above the plain, illustrating in every minute detail Heine s little love-song of the palm which mourns lonely on the burning height. Then there were daisies, large and small, pimsies and' anemones, and^ quite a host of other forms, all beautiful with a, somewhat uncanny

And then Mrs Hughes told him, how she had stumbled on the discovery. It was while trying to. discover some means to register the vibrations of the voice, and for testing its quality and tone that she one day found, to her intense surprise, that grains of sand, "with' which she was ( _. .•.-•.,--•.-j~v.~ -—.--.Tred themselves into ,'■■;■,■.. i' : ■■■.■: ; her investigations, she slowly and gradually discovered that various .substances — sand, lycopodium, coloured liquids, etc. —could be sung into certain figures. Every single note pro duces a figure differing according to, its pitch, intensity' and ' duration. The daisy, pansy and geometrical figures can be produced by any note; for others, certain distinct points have to be ob served, which Mrs Hughes did not disclose, but she showed him the prac tical part of the business.

" A deep, full note was sung into the eidophone, and immediately a miniature storm swept over the disc. Tiny clouds of dust arose and whirled about. Slowly* the chaos was reduced to order, and when the last vibration ceased an accurate, clear, geometrical figure lay before us, formed by the yellow powder on the dark disc." Next Mrs Hughes "sung" a daisy. ." The' substance placed upon the disc creeps together in the centre of the membrane at the command of the first note as unhesitatingly as the soldier obeys the bugle call. Another note follows, and from the centre all round shoot out small petals—not quite so symmetrical as they ought to be, for the note was not so full as should have been the case. Once more the voice commands and they all rush back into the centre to reappear at the next n6to smooth and shapely. ? The pro cess poe.s on till the last nobe brings out the perfect daisy form. Pitch and in tensity together with the quantity of the substance bo be set in motion determine the size of the figures, and they are marked with the mosb perfectly shaded ilufccd lines representing each vibration of the voice,

Tiller 1 iii hand, in the stern he sat, Whilst Nature sang her Magnificat. Gently the breath of the morning gale In fair lines hollowed the curving sail; And the child in joy steered to the West— To the far Atlantis, land of rest. For a little while I gazed elsewhere, But when next I looked a youth sat there. The child was gone, and with shout of joy The helm was held by a laughing boy. Over the sea, 'neath' the morning sky, The boat danced on right merrily. Was mine eye dimmed by the oc,ean haze, Or was it my dream* that mocked my gaze?

As I looked the youth from the boat was gone— ..... . . ! A man sat there in the stern alone, \ Grasping the tiller with utmost stress, ) Whilst the waves rolled on in wayward-, i ness. . ■ •( s, j!

A Horse's Memory.

"Say, friend, you are on my horse," said one gentleman to another as he reined I his horse before the door. ,• "Your horse ! Oh, no; why I bought this horse two years ago !" •. " You did !" answered the other; "well,' I lost my horse—lfc was stolen—just tw;o years ago." The conversation took place under the far-spreading oaks of an old-time planta tion home^ ,iA planter was surprised to , see his hoVseU;eturn home after two years, and ridden by a gentleman who evidently had bought the horse in good faith. After some conversation the old owner of the horse, with much earnestness said: "Well, sir, if you will dismount, unsaddle the horse and he don't go to the fence, take the bars down, walk to the well, and if he don't find water in the bucket let it down the well, and then walk off to his old stable, I will give up arid; that horse isn't mine !" "At your word ; the, horse is yours if he does all that," j cried the visitor, and leapiiig from the horse, unsaddled it. What was his astonishment when the horse went straight to.- the fence, let down./ the bars, crossed ' over, went to the • well, ari!d finding no water,'-let the 'bucket down,,and then,, as though he had left home bub yesterday, walked to the old stable! The"'animal remembered the trick, and the owner recovered his horse. There are those living now who can attest to the truth of this \ story, though it happened years ago.' —"St; Louis Globe Democrat."

THE LAND ACT.

There are some curious and unsatis factory features < in' connection with the disposal of Cr6wn Lands of which we should be glad to have an in telligible explanation,, in order that, their raison d'ttre being understood, it might be possible to devise means which should prevent their recurrence. To begin with, it has been remarked that the" system of ballot which is now in force works out with a singular i persistency in favor of large holders. > What,we mean is this. - A number of J sections are advertised as open for J application on and after a given date; j by the date named a number of applications is received in excess of : the number of allotments, or at anyrate for each of certain particular allot •ments there are several, it may be numerous, applications; some of the are landless persons, others [holders of only-^mall areas, and yet others holders of large areas. The ballot i takes place as between all the appli cants and almost invariably—certainly in the large majority of instances— '.■the result is that neither the landless \ applicants nor,the small holders draw rthe lucky numbers, the sections falling !to the third class, viz., those applicants ; who are already holders of large areas. It would indeed seem that the princi ple of "to him that hath shall be given" .in.some mysterious Avay con trolled the wheel of fortune or the marbles; of, the ballot-box. This.has been noticed in Otago as-well as Canterbury.^ and .our public-spirited contemporary, - the Oamaru " Mail," boldly declared, its belief that there was a screw* loose, and that somehow the balloting must be manipulated. It was at once—and very properly—chal lenged 'by the authorities to put the matter to; "the test, and promptly accepted, the , challenge, its editor proceeding to Duhedin and inspecting the apparatus used and the mode of using it, with the result that , r the •' Mail" at once ' freely and hand somely acknowledged that it could detect no unfairness or manoeuvring. Yet the fact which it, had noticed' has been noticed^ in Canterbury also,- and it is an exceedingly odd one, and, given that it .comes about by some-mysterious operation of chance, the result "which it brings out needs nevertheless to be guarded against. If it be a fact, as would seem to be the case—odd as it is—that ipso facto of his being a large owner, the man of many acres has a better chance of success in the ballot than the man of few or none, then the Act must be amended so as to ensure the exact reverse of this. We would suggest that this might be done by ire quiring every applicant for land "to state on his application the acreagehe already holds. Then leb the applicants be classified into .four • divisions' as follows, viz., (I)'those who have no land, (2) those holding less than 100 acres, (3) those holding less than 200 acres, (4) those holding more than 200 acres. This done, if there be only one i'applicant in class 1 let him be entitled to succeed, if more than one applicant I in that class let. the ballot be restricted I to those applicants, but if there be no applicant at all in class 1 then proceed similarly with class 2, and so on up to class 3 or 4 as the case may be.

JSTexj),, it has been asserted to us that there are instances in which the law is evaded or broken by applications being put in in the names of children or per son's below the age of seventeen, mani festly for the purpose of extending the area of the holdings, beyond'the limit' allowed by -law, of adult persons who use these young people as dummies. If this.be really the case, then we invite any of our readers who know'of any such instance to make it known to us, giving the names of the parties, and we will not hesitate to expose the matter, feeling sure, as we do, that the Govern ment will at once do their duty by cancelling any sale or lease made or given under such circumstances. But we decline to take any steps whatever upon mere unsupported assertions, or hints not backed up by provable facts. "J f^gain^-and here we write ftlfe'facts 4-upon which, we base our re marks being patent—it is beyond all doubt, that of the" land which has recently been gazetted as open for ap plication in Canterbury on-certain fixed dates, block after block has been bought up before the date fixed for application. Not, of at the re duced prices—which range' variously from 10s to 30s per acre, but at the price at which the land has always been open to: be.purchased j viz., £2 per acre. These blocks have, without ex ception (Aye believe), been purchased by large- landowners, and the. sale of the land" 'to them is in defeat of the policy of settlement, and ■is unfair to the bona fide applicant for settlement purposes, while the enhanced price does not in the long run pay the State, Avhich would -reap more, in. revenue by the extension of settlement, .thereby ,-prevented,",than is [represented by the annual interest upon the addi tional few shillings per acre raked: into the Colonial-coffers ; by selling the land at the full fiprjii'p of ,C 2 per acre. The moiivejof ilie pui-oiia-iTs at^that price is easily understood, this being either to push back settlement as far as' possible from their borders, to square their properties, or it may be to sell again at the enhanced value which surrounding settlement may confer on a particular block, that particular block being often the very pick of the area which has been, with a flourish of trumpets, declared open to the intend ing settler. Now this sort of thing also should be put a stop to—and it might very easily be done—by enacting that ' when, a block "has been declared open for application on a fixed date it should be ipso fa cto withdrawn from salewn^Y, and -should not be purchasable before, the date so fixed. Lastly, we have reason to- think ■ that the purpose of Parliament in liberalising vthe land laws with a view to the encouraging and extension of bona fide settlement is being defeated by the acquisition of the land.by person'^ and companies who are adding acre to acre, or rather thousands of acres to thousands of acres,; an.cl -thus intensifying, the big block evil, by means of a-system of dummying, and -in" order :to prevent this it is necessary that we should take a leaf out of the Victorian book, and require actual settlement upon and improvement of the land before the issue of a Crown grant to the purchaser. AH liicse mutters require immediate! ;ukl ciu-eful attention, and we hope th;it before the close of tlio approach ing session of Parliament an Amending

Bill will be passed which will cure these and other obvious defects of the present Land Act. / ;

A Jewel of a Wife.

The' following, story is said to |be "authentic":—A I 'certain Russian noble man visiting Paris was noticed to bevcon- stantly plunged :in deep sadness. He wore on his finger a very remarkable ring, large enough for a bracelet, and which extended over his hand, like a buci|fler for. the ring finger. It was of a greenish | I color, and was traversed by red veins. It ■ attracted the attention of everybody, I but no one ' was ''bold ' eliough^Mso' | interrogate the mysterious stranger, until jj one day a lady meeting him in public, ventured to say, " You wear a handsome ring." The Russian made a movement as though he would conceal his hand, but that feeling gave way to & desire to un burdenl himself. /"It js, riot a, ring" he answered, " but- a j sepulchre !"

The message' is as follows :—" 10j St. James' Square, London. The purpos| of the meeting on the 14th, may, I con- ceive, be summed up in two words—selff help and thrift—and I cannot, although much occupied,; refuse to send to it a few words of congratulation and goodwill. It is self-help that makes the man, and man ': making is the aim which, the Almighty Jhas everywhery impressed upoti creationi It is thrift by which self-help for the masses dependent upon labor -is- print cipally made effective. For them, thrift is the symbol and instrument 6i independence and of liberty—indispens able conditions of all permanent humait good. But thrift is also the mother of wealth;. and here comes a danger into view, for,wealth is the mother of temptai tion, and leads many of its possessors into a new form of slavery, more subtle and not less .debasing than the old.
