This, explaiuProfessor Alfred M. Mayer, in his book on "Sound," from which these cuts are a reprint, is all one has to know to make a toy trumpet talk. Its sounds, like those of the human voice, are made by puffs of air. These pass the reed every time it goes above or below the oblong hole in the plate where it vibrates. Let the vibrating reed in the trumpet stand for vocal chords. Make a resonant cavity like the mouth between your two hands as shown at X. Place the funnel of the trumpet inside this cavity with the tube coming out in the crotch between the thumb and forefinger. The lips may be formed of the fingers of one hand. ' By raising these together, more or less, from the other hand one can make a larger or smaller opening into the cavity between the palms of the hand and thus get articu- - lation. Now blow into the trumpet as though speaking mama into it, so that you may make it sound twice, each sound lasting just as long as the sounds in ma and ma. While making the first Bound raise the fingers as high as is shown in A; while making the second raise them as high as is shown in B. The trumpet talks and says mama quite plainly. To make the machine shown in the sec-ond cut cut a thin skinned orange in halves and scrape out its soft inside, making two hemispherical cups. Cut a small semi- - 1I1S. A TALKING MACHINE. circle out of the edge of each cup. Place these over each other and you have a hole for the tube of the trumpet to get out of the orange. Now sew up the two cups to-gether, except a length directly opposite the trumpet, for here are the lips. A pea-nut makes a good nose and black beans serve as eyes. Place a baby cap on the orange and try if you can make it say mama. SH FOR THE COLORS. forlorn Charge of the First Minneseta. Infantry at Gettys- -' burg.

Of he grand exploits of that marvelous Itfisld of Gettysburg, the charge ..iw. Minnesota was bv all odds the The odds were with them if thevoW foresee the point, of attack McCWto Rf n TTemJnt 03 es left, where " command. Around Dunker church, which stood near pike, was an elevated wooded nLiHnn which McClellan hoped TcZ "J?4 ffa1 rora two Erections Confederate front there was a wide, open stretcu, with 80me elevated posi t0? Unlon canno Confederates would allow them to remain! Directly in front of the church, some hun-drc- d yards distant, was a field of thick corn and a small, detached wood, and on the Confederate left flank of the corn field was the best high, open ground for Union batteries. Whoever controlled the corn field could control the artillery site. Hood's division advanced from the woods around Dunker church toward the corn field on the morning of the 17th They had occupied the ground the day be-fore, when the enemy was on one front only, the direct one, and they advanced cautiously through the tall corn toward what was supposed tone the only threat-ened point, and where were needed for a fight already in progress. The First Texas was in Woff ord's brigade and was in the center, with two regiment on either flank. While marching forward in this mannor Col. Wofford saw the col- umns of Union troops threatening his left regiments and ordered the First Texas to face to the left and help beut off the en-emy. The regiment responded, but in a short time was ordered to move by the right flank again to correspond to the movement of the Union troops. These maneuvers threw tho Texans out of line with the rest of the brigiide and they en-tered the cora field of tall standing stalks fighting on their own hook. The enemy which the First Texas had been sent against was in the corn, and this was so dense that the eye could penetrate but a few feet. , dramatic, the most eventful, the desperate. ie story of the disaster of the second of the battle, when Gen. Sickles' Third stras overwhelmed at the Peach Or--4 is familiar to every one. Sickles the extreme left with one corps iso--!, and was attacked at a time when he d not be withdrawn, and the only g to do, as Gen. Meade expressed it, to stand and fight it out. The battle d for hours with terrible fierceness, division after division was sent to the or of the Third corps. Hancock's Sec-cor-was on Sickles' right and cone-d his line with the main army on etery Eidge. From this line detach-;- j had been made until there was ly a skirmish line left to support the tries, which were the mainstay of the . iioa. The turning point of Sickles' tiris when the angle ot his line was eo in and his troops forced to retreat, this moment the Confederate com-iii- er ordered forward fresh troops to the interval between Sickles and nock. The smoke of battle covered the le field and anxious uncertainty filled minds of Meade and Hancock, who ed up and down the line on the ridge i; to keep the run of what was hap-n- g to Sickles. When at last it was that the Third corps must fall back desrdered up reinforcements from rt of the field to support Hancock, Hancock himself went toward Sickles' to see what could be done to aid the ten corps. Idle making his way to that point he through a rift in the clouds of battle ke that hovered over the field a Con-rat- e brigade (Wilicox's) moving up ly with flying colors within a few rods i exposed portion of his lino! The en-- , if let alone, would strike a battery xrted by eight companies of the First ntsota, and there were no other troops ijht. were on the . but were some minutes distant, ting over the little phalanx of a couple hundred or so the hero exclaimed, ?ai God! is this all the men we have Then with a sweep of his eagle eye ;eadvancing columns and their men--? battle flags of red, ho said to the mander of the First, "Col. Colville, THE LOST COLORS. In this thicket fighting began, and the colonel of the First Texas stated in his report t'.iat as soon as the ball opened he could not restrain his men. Formation could not be main-tained and every man went on wher-ever he could find a foeman, and no for-midable check was made until the farther edge of the corn field was reached. Here there was a rail fence and beyond a low ridge crowned with Union batteries. As soon as the retiring Union troops passed under their line of lire the batteries opened on Wofford's men, and the First Texas, being in front, close on the heajs of the Union infantry, received a galling shower of missiles. The men halted, and opening on the gunners and horses inflicted a ter-rible punishment, compelling the artiller-ists to limber up and prepare to move away. But a fresh column of Union in-fantry came up, and moving in solid lines swept on through the corn, pushing Wof-ford's brigade before them, and the doomed First Texas, far in the exposed rear, was caught the second time at a disadvantage. The commanding officer says in his re-port that although he had but a handful of men he hesitated to order a retreat, and when at last he did so the few men re-maining to him turned at regular inter-vals and fired upon the enemy. Four of his color bearers were shot down under the eye of the colonel, and he recognized them all. Four others fell carrying the colors, ioce snd take those colors. " ienien arose with a will and advanced lydown the slope to tho plain to per-- i their terrible task. : The situation one that every man in the ranks could :rstand.

The oi Willcox wandered off in the in- - but none ot the Btirvivors couiu laenmy thorn. Finally the flag disappeared in the corn, the bearer falling unseen, and when the colonel asked for tho standard he was told that it had left the field. When the remnant came together in the open field beyond the corn swarmed with Union troops, and it was too late to attempt to re-cover the flag. Out of 228 Texans that en-tered the fight 45 were killed and 141 wounded, or 8B.3 per cent. The commander, after recounting his action and his loss, devoted much of his report to explanation of the loss of his col-ors. He wrote: "While falling back (being still in the corn field) I gave the order to halt and in-quired for the colors, intending to dress on them, when I was told the colors had gone out of the corn field. Then I gave the or-der to move out of the corn and form be-hind the crest of a small ridge just outside. It was when I reached this point that I became satisfied our colors were lost, for I looked in every direction and they were nowhere to be seen. It was then too Jate to recover them. There was no one who knew the spot where they had last fallen, said owing to the density of the corn a view of no object could be had but for a few feet. By this time, also, the enemy had moved up within S"i or 40 yards of my left and rear. No blame, I feel, snoum attach to the men or officers, all of whom fought heroically and well. There was no such conduct on their part as abandoning or deserting their colors. The colors started back with them, and when they were lost no man knew save him who had fallen with them." This apology, made when four out of every five of his men lay dead or bleeding, shows how strong is the soldier's ruling Dassion for the honor of his flag. George L.

When the sun sets in the sea a curious appearance, as of a bluish green flame, is sometimes observed. This has been thought to be due to the light passing through the crests of waves. But Nature tells that this view is disproved by an observation made by Professor Lange at a watering place on the Baltic. Shortly before sunset the disk was divided iu two by a thin strip of cloud, and just as the upper part disap-peared under the cloud the blue flame was observed. Thus the cause appears to be in the air, not in the sea. It is a case of at-mospheric refraction. And as a planet, seen near the horizon with a good tele-scope, appears drawn out into a spectrum, with the more refracted blue violet end higher than the red, so the last visible part of the sun furnishes the blue violet end of a spectrum. ' A hotel keeper at Lyons had posted on his door this notice: "English, German, Italian and Spanish spoken here. An American arrived and asked for the inter-preter in as decent French as he could summon. "Monsieur," replied the lancV lord, "there is none." "What! no inter-preter? And yet you announce that all languages are spoken here." The reply was charming: "Yes, monsieur--by tha travelers." San Francisco Argonaut. Bread from Wood. A German scientist proposes to make loaves literally as abundant as leaves in Vallombrosa. His proposal is to make bread from wood, by chemically convert-ing the fiber of trees into human food. The fiber of wood consist essentially of cellulose. Can this be made to turn into stareh The author quotes the researches of HeUriegel, which go to show that cer-tain plant transform atmospheric nitro-gen into albumen, and that thU process anbe improved. The production there-fore of starch from cellulose, together with the enforced increase of albumen in plants, would (it is argued) in reality sig-nify the abolition of the bread question.
