Among the fints of the chalk lorna
lions is occasionally found one which
emits clear musical sound when struck
with another flint Tissandier tells of 3
distinguished French musician, H. Ban
DIRE, who is Jealous collector of these
musieal stones, and who has just sue
ceeded in making unique ''plano" from
them. In this instrument the flints are
suspended by wires above sounding
board, and are played upon by two other
nints. The stones of the piano number
twenty six, forming the two chromatic
octaves, and were collected with much
patient labor during period Of more
than thirty years. There seems to be
no relation between the sizes of the
stones and their tones.

NILES CIrY's FUTURE.


Miles City Is now the scene Of activity
that promises great deal for her future.
A rich company of ChiCaRoans have
begun the erection of large slaughter
houses there, employing crew of most
ly eastern men, numbering hundred or
more, in the construction Of the build
ings. We candidIy believe that the
gentlemen have chosen the most favor
able site in the west for their enterprise.
The country around Miles City is not
suitable for any other purpose than that
of stock raising, and for many years
Miles City must necessarily be the cen
Ter of that great industry. Billings 10
not without its advantages at present for
such slaughtering enterprise. but in a
few years Its tributary country will be
entirely taken up by the farmer or small
stock grover, and if the aim Of the
slaughtering company is to locate in
the present and future center of Monta-
mas large herds, it has certainly chosen
wisely and we'll. Miles City people are
inclined to look upon the whole of Mon
tana as they look upon that portion of it
nearest home, and are wont to express
y the opinion that the whole territory Is
entirely worthless for any other purpose
than that Of cattle feeding ground or
mining. Agricultural pursuits has prov
en- to be useless and expensive under
taking around Miles, which cannot be
said Of any portion Of Monta ma few
miles west Of that city. Upon stock
growing and the businesses growing
thereout, Miles City must therefore de-
pend upon for her future greatness, and
we conceed that this alone will make
her prominent and hourishing city.
The expressage business of Miles City
alone proves, that everything in the
way of provisions she requires, must
come from other sources. II would be
pleasure for us to see Miles City become
large, thriving city, and she has the
necessary enterprise to make her sHch
If her energies are put forth in tn pro-
per channel, that OF stock raising and
kindred enterprises, with an aim to make
her stock center for years to come

vice, but it certainly cannot be accredis-
ed to unfriendlessness

Peter traded that horse known as

had it back in the following way. Lull
fixed up the beast with false tail, and
drove up to West Randolph on the east
side of the branch and coming to Peter S
house, represented that he came from

old boy came out, and the former said

soon after sent word to Lull asking if

him he would not come "directly from
