AUDIBLE AND INAUDIBLE
SOUNDS.

The phenomenon of color-blindness is
a familiar fact; but ali analogous phe-
nomenon, what might be called pitch
deafness, though not uncommon, is not
so generally known. By pitch-deafn fness
is meant insensibility to certain sound
vibrations. Prof. Donaldson, of the
University of Edinburgh, used to illus
trate the different grades of sensibility
to sound by a very simple experiment,
namely, by sounding q set of small Or
gan-pipes of great acuteness Of tone,-
The gravest note would be sounded first
and this would be heard by the entire
class. Soon some one would remark,
srhere, tits SILENT" whereas all the rest
would distinctly hear the shrill piping
continued. AS the tone rose, one after
another of the students would lose sen.
sation of the acute sounds, until finally
they became iuaudible to all.
There is reason for supposing that per.
sons whose ears are sensitive to very
acute sounds are best able to hear very
grave notes, and vice versa. Probably
the hearing capacity of the human eal
ranges over no more than l2 oataves.-
The gravest note audible to the human

John Il. Irving, the self-accused Ma
than murderer, was visited in his cell
at San Francisco, on the 2Gth ultimo by
Captain Irving and Detective Dusenber-
ry. of the New York police force, who
have gone thither to bring him to that
city. They recognized him at once and
he recognized them. Irving still holds
to his story of his completely in the Ma
than murder, and says upon this point,
that he knows great deal which he has
not yet told to anybody and which he
will make known to the Chief of Police,
on his arrival in that city. The detec-
tives were to have started with him in a
few days.

L DOG IN THE SPIRIT LAND

Mr.. Geo. w. johnson, better known
as Wayne Hover, editor of Mr.. Bergh's
Society paper, is responsible for the fol-
lowing remarkable story:
Not far from where Stewards mansion
now stands, there lived. some years ago,
i'm pretty little cottage, a very cheer
full old woman. She labored under
what some people called an extraordina-
ry delusiOn; but to her everything was
real and pleasing, and nobody had the
heart to disturb her in her belief. Her
name was Jane Sands, and from what
could be learned of her early history,
she had been happily married. On her
wedding day, in fact while the ccremo-
ny was being performed, half-grown
Newfoundland dog came into the church
and laid down near the altar.
An effort was made to drive him from
his position, but without success. This
| circumstance, while it was considered
| singular, excited but little comment al
| the time. However, when the bride
| was taken to her new home the dog fol-
lowed, and finally became member of
| the family. 1t is said that the rare in
telligence of the animal, and his attach
ment to his master and mistress, was re-
markable. Mrs. Sands lived with her
husband ten years, when he died. The
| dog expired near MIN at the same Time.
| The grief of the wife was intense, and
for several days it was thought she
would lose her reason. One morning,
about two weeks after her husbands
death, she called to see some of hel
neighbors, looking as cheerful and as
happy as on the day of her marriage
She told them story which they con-
sidered only an eyidenee of mental alb
Grafton.
She said the spirit of the dog had ap-
peared to her, and had brought with
him a written message from her hus-
band, who was in the s'Summer Land. .
She also said that the communication
was filled with the sweetest words ol
affection, and that the dog had returned
taking with him her reply. In this de-
lusion-it it may be called such-the
widow lived happily for many years.
Every two weeks the faithful dog made
his appearance at her bedside, just be-
fore dawn, with loving letter from
her husband, and silently waited fol-
her answer. Thus dreaming, one quiet
summer night, she died happy in her
belief concerning the spirit land, her
husband and his faithful messenger.

A letter from Camp Stambaugh. Wy
oming Territory, of September 30, says
that an expedition sent out by General
Ord last summer, has just returned
from Yellowstone Lake, after successful
ly accomplishing Its mission, which was
to find If possible, a new and much
shorter route than the one now Travelled
from the Pacific Railroad to Montana
the opinion of old guides, Indians and
mountain men was against the proba-
bility that any new route could be found.
The idea has heretofore been that an i'm
passable range of mountains existed at
the southern end of Yellowstone Lake.
but the expedition not only proved this
to be fallacy, but found that an excel
lent wagon road can be made across the
range. From the point of rocks on the
Union Pacific Railway, the lake, by the
newly discovered route, could be reach
ed with only little over $50 miles ol
stage-ceach travel. The utilization O
this new route will prove of great ben
eft to the people of Wyoming and Ne
braska.

The Telegraph has brought the an
nouneemento of the death of Clara Mundt,
so long and well known as writer un-
der the nom de plume of Louise Muhl-
bach. She was born in Neubranden-
bourgh, January 2, 1914; she married at
the age of twenty-five years, and soon
thereafter commenced the publication of
a series of books which have given her
| a worldwide reputation. Besides hav-
ing written large number of historical
romances, she has produced several vol
| umes upon the emancipation of woman,
and upon the moral and social questions
| pertaining to her sex. Her novels have
been largely read and have cultivated in
many persons taste for reading that
they would never have had without
them. On the whole, the world is bet
ter for her having lived in it Her .hus-
| band, Theodore Mundt, has also written
novels of the same charcter, many of
which have been attributed to her pen.

The pestilancc at Shreveport. where
60 per cent. of those ttacked with fever
die, has developed some singular lnstan-
ces of moral heroism. Not to mention
the cases of those physicians from other
cities who have voluntarily sought the
infected locality to heal the sick, there
are noticeable examples of self-sacrifice
among the citizens of the town. While
very large majority of those whose
means permitted have fitted with their
families from the place, others, equally
able to defray the expense of flight, have
bravely remained to share the peril and
privations Of their helpless neighbors
Many of those Good Samaritans have
died and many are now i'll. If calamities
so dreadful as this Shreveport scourgt
bring into bold relief the darker phase.
