AMONG the records Of scientific re-
search during the past year in the de-
partment of the United States Life
Saving Service, we find it stated that
at many points on our sea-coast and
on the shores Of the Great Lakes. the
beach sand has. in small tracts, very
curious properties. In certain places
the dry sand between the water-line
and extreme high-tide marks yields a
peculiar sound when struck obIiquely
By the foot, or even when stroked BY
the hand; at the same time tingling
sensation can sometimes be felt in the
toes or IN the fingers. The sounds
produced By friction, as described, re-
semble somewhat the distant barking
Of dog, and may Be represented by
the syllable groosh. They are unlike
and louder than tho ordinary grating
noise caused by wagon wheels il
deep sand. and when once heard are
recognized. Under favorable circnm-
stances they may Be- heard one hun
dred feet Only dry sand has this
property, and hence damp weather
ohscures the sounds.

The TARIrr.-As the time APPROACH.

| The TARIFF.-As the time APPROACH.
es for the meeting of o new Congress.
the press Of our large commercial cit.
les are beginning to discuss a revision
of the national tariff. One of Phil
adelphia's most conservative journals
hazards the prediction that there viii
be less chance for any material change
in the tariff by the next Congress
than there was two years ago. The
prediction must rest largely upon the
assumption that little faith is to be
put in the declarations of party plat
forms and the professions ofpoIiti-
clans. The Platform upon which
President Cleveland was elected prom
ised to reform the tariff by enlarg-
ing the free list of raw materials, and
reducing the excessive duties on ar
ticles of necessity. The Republican
platform also conceded that the tariff
should be revised. Referring to these
platform promises, Mr.. Randall, in q
recent interview, said that the time
had come for amending the tariff in
conformity with the developments in
trade, or words to that effect. If
therefore, the declarations of platforms
and of public men who have hitherto
been regarded as inimical to tariff re-
vision, have any value, there is unus-
ual boldness in such q prediction.
Another equally influential journal
argues, that by the time Congress
meets the Treasury surplus will be at
last $40, 100000, below which it will
hardly fall in the most untoward f.
nancial condition. With q renewal of
business, and the economies practiced
by President Cleveland's administra-
ton, the surplus may rise much high
er This will afford room for making
substantial enlargement of the free
list of raw materials. A moderate
reduction of the duties on woolen
goods and some other textile fabrics
would have a tendency to increase
the revenues by lessening the tempta-
tion to frauds in undervaluations,
which, by the confession of the tariff
advocates, are so extensively practic-
ed. But,continues this journal, wheth-
er the surplus revenues in the Treas
ury be large or small, that does not
affect the argument in favor ofan i'm
mediate revision Of the tariff by ex-
tending the free list of manufacturing
materials. The duties on these raw
materials should be repealed it thinks
because they are wrong in themselves
without regard to the question ofrev-
enue to the Treasury, as they intlict
grievous burdens on the country's
manufacturing interests
The discussion of the tariff question
is always attended with such con-
trariety Of opinions, that it seems
Congress win never be able to pass a
law that will be satisfactory to the
business men of the country. Dem
ocrats as well as Republicans differ
among themselves in so many mater
ial points, that the tariff can hardly
be considered a national question. and
hence the difficulty of its adjustment
by national Congress.

NEW MEDALS.
The Trophies for the Wheelmen to
Win Tomorrow,

At the iewelry establishment of E. J..
Swaner & Co., last evening, we were
shown four medals which the artists en-
ployed by that firm have been making
for the Salt Lake Bicycle club, to be run
for on Washington Square tomorrow.
The chief one is that for the first prize
in the first class, and will be worn by
the fastest man in the club after to-mor-
row. Iii a beauty, of solid gold, with
an Ornamented plate covering the pin,
on which the name of the owner will be
engraved; beehive stands out in re-
lief underneath this, on which the word
champion" is cut; the letterings s. L.
B. c." One Mile" and 1882 are ap-
propriately placed in and about the wheel
which forms the circle of the medal. 1t
is neatly chased and ornamented, and
will be proudly worn by the gentleman
who wins it.
The second is also a gold medal,
smaller than the first mentioned, and
for beauty and taste in'execution is a
choice piece of workmanship. This is
for the first prize of the second or 2.3O
class. 1t is of a Maltese cross shane,
with a wheel for a centre piece, across
the face of which is pair OF wings
symbolical of flying wheel; an exquI.
sitely cut vine interwines the Maltese
cross; the orpamentation and lettering
are chaste and elegant.
There are two silver medals, which
are rare specimens of the engraver's
art, which viii also be worn by the win
ners with pride. One is for the second
prize in the first class, the centre circle
OF which is illustrated by a couple of
bicyclists racing. The other is for the
second prize in the second class; a
wheel forms the centre, on the hub of
which are the figures IS.
There viii undoubtedly be some good
travelling done on the grounds of the
club tomorrow. for possession of the
above beautiful trophies.

Fruitless Hunt.

Deputies Collins and Johnson turned
up at the abode of Edward Brain, on
Wednesday, in search of Jane Peters
Brain, who is said to be material wit
ness in the case against Mr.. Brain.
Producing a search warrant Collins
went through the house, peering INTO
corners and every place large enough to
conceal human, and into some places
too small TO hide cat. but nary Jane
Peters did he find. Believing her to be
at a neighbor's residence they went
thither, but were refused admission
without warrant, and on being told
the object OF their search was not there,
they departed.

THE GYMNASTS.
An Artistic Success at The Theatre
Last Evening.

A good house greeted The young
people at the Theatre last evening, the
dress circle and parquette circle being
well filed by the friends of the classes
from Rowland Hall, st. Marks School,
and the preparatory department of
Rowland Hall The parquette floor
had been laid down as though for ball,
and on this the amateur gymnasts gave
an exhibition that certainly proved
much superior to the general anticipa-
ton. The rising of the curtain revealed
about seventy-tive pupils, of both
sexes, large and small, the young ladies
wearing a loose, blouse-like dress,
with iaunty caps, and the males
appearing IN black or white knee
breeehes and white shirts. The opening
exercise with the single wands foreshad
owed the artistic success of the perform
ance and drew forth tumultuous APP
clause, which was re-echoed as each
succeeding exercise was presented, the
running contest, the Yankee Doodle Sc
RES, the Indian-club exercise, and the
6umb-bel exercise, concluding with the
Anvil Chorus by the entire company,
gaming the especial favor of the au-
dience. Every exercise. however,
was given with A precision and grace
that was little short of the marvellous,
especially so when the number and age
Of the performers we're considered. Mrs.
I. E. Hall, the instructor. and who
presided at the piano, has certainly
shown herself to be an adept in the art
Of gymnastic instruction, and is entitled

ON THE SQUARE.
Rare Sports for the Public on
~ Decoration Day.


The programme of sports on Wash
ington Square, for tomorrow, under
the auspices of the Athletic Association.
is one which the public will be justified
in patronizing. Beginning early in the
morning the cricketers will play game
the Salt Lake club against the eleven
of Almy, Wyoming, and Judging from
records heretofore made by the gentle
men of the old. English game. lovers of
that kind of entertainment will be salts
fed in witnessing the contest. 4 series
of bicycle races will be run, probably be-
fore the cricket match is ended-in
which case the wickets will be drawn
and repitched after the flyers have
concluded their tests of speed and en-
durance. There are two gold medals
and two silver ones to be won, mention
of which appears elsewhere. Following
the wheelmen's exploits comes the
grand baseball contest between the Reds
of this city, and the McCook nine. of
Fort Douglas, for the Territorial cham
pionship. Judging from remarks by
gentlemen on both sides, this diamond
field fight will be an exciting and hotly
contested one.

Stocks to-day, the last hour particu-
larly were a repetition of yesterday. The
opening prices showed no material
changes from the prices of last evening,
and the quotations for the next four
hours were limited to small fractions OF
cent, without any material increase In
the amount of business done. In the
last hour, however, there was an in
creased activity accompanied by aslight
yielding in the quotations OF the general
list and decided break In Lackawanna
and the market finally closed weak,
generally at the lowest prices reached.
Lackawanna shows a loss of 24 per
cent. but the other declines are only
from N to e per cent.
The statement was circulated on the
street this afternoon, that the plan to
sell bonds in the treasury OF the Union
Pacific company, to pay off the floating
debt had been abandoned, and that a
letter from president Adams, now In
Utah, says: 1.-The co npany will pay
the dividend when it can, but it will not
be in July" 1t is understood that the
policy will be first to settle the floating
debt, and then resume dividends, which
the friends of the company say will not
