EoLIAN HARp

Some time ago son of Mr.. George Ell.
Wanger while travelling in Germany be-
came impressed With the agreeable com
bination of tones produced BIZ aeo1ian
harps, and on returning home mentioned
the circumstances to his father The latter
soon conceived the idea of erecting an
nolian harp on his tower near Mount
Hope Al suitable man to make the in
strument was found in Prof sC. Dem
nebecq who expects to have it finished by
the first of June. The sounding board is
to be made of Norway pine, seven feet
high, and the back of hard curled maple
OF forty five years cut. These woods are
all imported, the4slow growth of European
woods givethen a texture better adapted
to musical instruments than the home
product. As whole, the instrument is to
be tube-shaped with eight slots in the tube.
The latter is to be surmounted with a
lightning rod eight feet high with a
weather1cock attached. Right here is
where Prof. Dennebecq introduces new
design Of his own; for with every turn of
the weather cock slot is presented to the
wind and a string made to vibrate in this
manner gives the fundamental note, while
the other win sound third and give the
acute octave to the first. Prof Dennebeco
has no doubt as to the success of his instru-
ment and thinks when completed and
placed on the tower, it can be heard on
still nights for distance of three miles up
the river. He made similar instrument
for the Sorosne in Paris which, however,
is not automatic, but it must be arranged
by the janitor before it will work
The constructor of these instruments is
pupil of the celebrated Villiaume, and
gave three years of his life to learn the

violin was one of Steiner's make, who was
pupil of Amarti, and whose yiolins have
reputation that is worldwide. Prof |
Dennebecq himself has acquired quite a |
reputation as violin maker and restorer, |
and is conversant with the mechanism, not
only of this, but of every musical instru-
ment. He is at the same time practical |
matchmaker, jeweler, optician and pattern
maker. Rochester Democrat.

AN EQUINE GIANT.

Mr.. Townsend, of Avondale, drove
through this city yesterday one of the most
remarkable horses perhaps ever seen in
vicinity. AS Mr.. T. drew up his buggy
near the sidewalk on Fifth street crowd
gathered aronnd, attracted by the appear
ance of the horse. The color was chestnut
brown, the limbs finely formed, and the
animal stood nineteen and half hands
high. When he tossed his head up it
seemed to reach the altitude usually as
signed to the giraffe. The horse was bred
in Clinton county, where Mr.. Townsend
purchased him from farmer His age
being only five years, it is probable that he
will grow yet. His weight was stated to
be 1,700 pounds.

STAR ROUTES AND SALIVA
TON,
A Star Route Contractor Speaks a
Piece to His Uncle.

Before one of Jack Gilmer's relatives in
the star route business, Jack would receive
an occasional letter admonishing him not to
neglect his spiritual welfare, and to turn from
the ways of the ungodly. The writer in one
of these letters incidentally remarked that he
was getting along pretty well, but had a
mortgage of $500 on his farm. NO stronger
hint than this was ever thrown out that the
sum named would relieve the pressure, and
Jack was left under the impression that his
standing in the other world concerned his
relative most. Finally the star route bust
ness came out and the way Uncle Sam had
been tleeced. Then his cody relative. who
had dropped Jack for a time as a hopeless
case, reminded him of tn" comfortable sum
he had doubtless got away with, and OF his
ability to let him have 5000 to raise the mort
gage, without feeling it, from his ill-gotten
gains. This time the religious dodge was
overlooked. Jack was equal to tile occasion,
and his laconic reply was: "Work harder
and pray less, and you may be able to raise
the mortgage.'-Ward Refcr.
The Reter has got the story exactly
straight, says the San Francisco Daily Report.
Jac!, was in Washington endeavoring to have
one of his routes expedited, and the relative
called on him at his hotel, to present him
with a copy Of the revised version of the
New Testament. Jack took the book and
lead it carefully, sitting up all hight for that

that are customary to apply to a refractory
stage team had been left out, and great was
his wrath thereat. The next day the relative
called again. He asked Mr.. Gilmer if he
thought his soul was safe md if he Was pre-
pairing himself for the hereafter. Jack said
he was going it ':blind.' Mr.. Gilmer occas-
s.onally goes blind. Then the relative limited
at the mortgage, remarking that those who
give to the poor lend to the Lord. Jack
grabbed the new version to see if the quota
ton was correct. He found it all right, and
lulling out his check-book and drawing mis-
check for 5000, handed it to the relative, say
ing: Il don't like the security very well
but blood is thicker than water. Take this
money and lift your condemned old mort
gage, and the next time you want a loan don't
creep up on me by grieving about my soul,
bur, make d dead bluff at me and III call
you, and if you've got the biggest hand, why
you take the pot, that's ALL"
