' .75 The Voice of Niagara. In an article o.i Niagara Falls, an I evening paper observes, anent the mighty roar of its waters: One can never forget the effect of listening to this might/ voice for the first time, nor is it an un pleasant sound which assails the car. Tho roar is positively musical, they say, and a few years ago a distinguished American organist spent a long time in studying it, .and trying to lc-am the meas ure and compass of its tones. Ho finally came to tlio conclusion that tho deepest tone made by tho failing cataract was that which would bo produced by an organ pipe about 100 feet in length, and of pro|>ortionato dimensions as organ pipes aro made, Now, 100 feet, which is about tho height of the falls (this varies from 160 feet to nearly 180 feet!, is much longer than any organ pipe is mado, and tho sound emitted by such a pipe would not be sensible to us as a musical sound. Therefore our ears could hot apprehend tho music of the deepest tones; and as our ears are at fault, we give this deep tones music such discordant epithets as noise and roar. This story, according to ono account, seems incorrectly stated. Tho organist in question suggested a sound not nearly three octaves iiclow thirty-two feet C, but about F sharp below that note. Tho present writer tried to define tho vast harmonic hum of tho great waterfalls, and carno to the conclusion that tho task was all hut hopeless, although a steady kind of tono seems to bo maintained, and certainly tho imagination might readily seize upon such a noto os tho au thority in question named, but-whether tho indefinite sound could bo described os of foundation or upper partial tono character it would bo altogether impossi ble to say.—London Musical World.

From tho facts at our command, thero is evidence that individual storago of lifo may bo far greater than tho vast ma jority of pcoplo either expect or hope for. Tho mean duration of lifo in England may bo taken at 41 years. But wo havo instances upon instances in which this storago of lifo is doubled, and somo in which it is trebled. I recently had, in tho consulting room, at tho samo time, tlireo gentlemen, whoso united ages reached tho total of 203 years, or over 87 years each, and each with a fair promiso of from four to five years of lifo at least. I also, within the present quarter, saw, on the samo day, two gentlemen, whoso united ages gavo 180 years, or an aver- ago of fl3 years each. I havo seen, and carefully examined physically, a woman who had attained tho ago of 103 years, and who Jived afterward for tlireo or four years; and I onco conducted an au topsy of a man who had passed liis 03d year. Thero was nothing in tho social condi tion of tho individuals concerned that could of itself account for sucli an un usual storago of lifo as that whleh they presented. Two of those specially re ferred to were men of tlio highest class of mental power; tho other lias como liown from ono of tho oldest of tho tioblo families of Europo; a fourth lias fought liis own way from tho lowest position to one of nflluenco nml power; while the oldest of all was, from ifrxt to last, in nbjoct |x>vcrty and was in a workhouse. —Ur.

(afterward Sir Samuel) Brown was occupied in studying tho construction of bridge?, with tho view of contriving ono of a cheap description to lio thrown across tho Tweed) near which ho lived, lie was walking in his garden ono dewy autumn morning, when ho saw n tiny spider’s not suspended across liispnth. Tho idea immediately occurred to him that n bridge of iron ropes or chains might ho constructed in like man ner, and tho result was tho invention of his suspension bridge. So James Watt, when consulted about tho modo of car rying water by pipes under tho Clyde, along the unequal hod of tho river, turned his attention ono day to tho shell of n lobster presented at table, and from that model he invented an iron tube, which, when laid down, was found effectually to answer the purpose. Sir bembert Brunei tool; liis first lessons in forming the Thames tunnel from the tiny ship worm. Ho saw how tho little crea'ura perforated tho wood with its well armed head, first in one direction and then in another, till the archway was complete, nml then daubed over the roof nnd'sidcs with a kind of varnish, and by copying this work exactly on n largo scalo Brunei was at length enabled to construct his shield and accomplish liis groat engineer ing work.—Onco a Week.
