IT is not thought probable. at the
treasury department that any recon-
mendation will be made to congress
looking to refunding legislation. 1t
is evidently the opinion of those
high in authority that the CONVEX
sion of high-rate bonds, under the
present system, into bonds bearing
low rate of interest is far more adj
vantageous to business interests
than an agitation ofth question in
congress. While the intention of
the secretary of the treasury is to
keep the sinking fund well supplied,
it is not probable that much will be
done in the purchase of bonds for
that fund until the five per cents, to
which the option of continuance or
redemption has already been ex-
tended, are disposed of. Although
there has been no report received as
to the number or amount of coupon
fives received for continuance
at the London agency, it 10
understood that a large amount
have been presented. The sec
retary is of the opinion that near
ly, if not quite all of the $lls,O0O,-
900 of coupon fiyes viii be received
before the time fixed for their pre-
sentation has elapsed. There have
been $44,OO0,00O of coupon 5 per
cent. bonds received for continuance
at 81 per cent. to date, leaving q bal
ance of $74, ,0OO, 900 to be heard from
before the amount outstanding il
reached. R4s

Pretty German Custom.

There is beautiful custom among
the Germans ofhaving chorals played
from the church towers at regular
hours of the day. 1t is said they de-
rived the idea from the Arabs, who
at certain hours of the day and night
are called to prayer by the long wall
ing cry of the muezzins from the
minarets of the mosques. When i
first heard this music in Stuttgart,
coming as it appeared to me from
the heavens, | was puzzled to know
its object and the sources whence it
came. L gazed above and around
me, but 1 failed to detect its source.
The beautiful melody, softened by
distance, was floating in the air. 1t
was like the invisible heavenly choir
that enfaptured st. Cecilia. A few
days afterward, happening to be in
the same neighborhood and at the
same hour of the day, was fortu-
nate in my discoveries. | again
heard the music from above, its peal
ing notes coming to me from some
far distance like the strains of a
church organ. Near me was the
Strifis Kirche, an old church built in
1908, which has attached to it an inn
mense octagon tower rising up to a
height ofnearly 200 feet. Encircling
this tower near the top is a balcony
on which L at last espied the authors
of the strange music. Several men
with brass instruments were perched
on that giddy height playing sacred
music. When they had finished one
piece they moved to another posi-
ton on the balcony and played
different tune. Four selections in
all were played, one toward each
point of the compass. On" making
inquiries afterward l found that this
playing from the church tower had
been in practice for more than a
hundred years. A German lady
"once upon time" belonging to one
of the noble families, bequeathed a
sum of money, the income of which
was ever afterward to be devoted to
paying the expenses of this religious
observance. The clause in her will
stated that chorals or selections of
fsacred music were to be played from
this church tower twice day, punct-
ually every morning at the rising of
the sun, and also from half-past IL
to IL at noon. The musicians, for
their services, are paid two marks
(fifty cents) a day each-a mark for
the morning and a mark for the noon
service-which. for walking up and
down that long flight of steps in ad-
dition to playing several pieces of
church music, is Il small enough re-
muneration. Chorals are also played
from another of the church towers
in Ludwigsburg, Rossentein, Fried
erichshafen, near Stuttgart, and in
others ofthe very old German cities
| and towns.

Tho Atlantic and PACIFIC Arclic

Nordenskjold reported the east
coast of all Arctic lands as heavily
iced, when their west coasts are COM
paratively free. This is explained
by rotation Of the earth making the
eastern shores the weather or re-
sisting and advancing side, while all
western shores are relatively lee
shores. His interesting tidal obser-
vations just south of Wrangel Land
show an average rise and fall of only
eight inches. This seems to indicate
that the marine basis north of
Behring strait is of limited extent,
and either land-locked or composed
of an archipelago of numerous is
lands, connected by sounds with lit
tie surrounding water. Judging by
the comparative size of Greenland,
any Arctic continent that may exist,
if in general proportion, would like
ly be about four and a half de-
grees in depth from the physi-
cal north pole of the earth.
All shores within the Arctic cir
Gle appear to be skirted with islands.
Capt. Keenan,, when "boiling out" in
the bark James Allen, about 100
miles north of Point Barrow, saw
with perfect distinctness range of
high land, visible a long way north
of the vessels position. This is an
nually confirmed by the fight of
large numbers Of aquatic birds,
which pass northward in the spring
from Point Barrow, and return in
August or early in September with
their young, which are always
reared upon land. When we con-
slider that the ice barrier in this part
of the Arctic successfully resists the
insidious approach of the warm
Kuro Siwo, coming from the tropics,
and branch of which flows past
Japan and through Behring strait,
it argues solid backing to sustain
it immovably so far south, such as q
compact archipelago or continue in
coast line further north would pre-
sent.

Especial to the Statesman !

SAN SABA, June PA young
man by the name of Benten Champ
ion, who was sick with the mumps
and deranged thereby, shot himself
twice in the head to-day, at
o'clock. One ball entered the head
under the right eye, and then
passed around the skull and lodged
near the back of the head. The
other ball struck the head i'm the
centre of the forehead, near the
crown, and passed backward, pro-
ducing slight wound. The doctors
are now probing for the ball. The
patient is in dangerous condition.
We have had drouth of several
weeks. The wheat is cut short, and
some of the crops of corn are al
ready dying and falling down, while
other crops may survive another
week. Very little corn will be
grown if the drouth continues.
New wheat is on the market.
A. Il. Harworth, Esq, has been ap-
pointed county judge.

1T is reliably stated that most of
the railroads anticipate a general
strike this summer, similar to those
which gave so much trouble in 1877.
They are determined to be pre-
pared, however, and are send
ing out circulars to all the
lines to be organized and prepared
for movement of this kind. The
workingmen, this circular declares,
have never been more thoroughly
organized than at present. They
have already engaged number OF
strikes, in nearly all of which they
have been successful. This will en-
courage them to try others, and
therefore it is the duty of the rail-
roads to be prepared.
