THE MANDOLIN.
A Pleasing italian Instrument That Is

A Pleasing italian Instrument That Is
just Now in Fashion.
The mandolin is the reigning fash
ionable caprice, having quite super
seded the banjo in the esteem of the la
dies. That it should have done so is
by no means strange, for it is really a
little instrument when at all
decently played, is not very difficult to
learn, and has good deal more style
aud finish about 1t than the banjo has.
However, the latter may be adorned,
with nickel plating. mother-of-pearl
and all sorts of gaudy ornamentation.
it has a plebian look about it, and sug-
gests the idea of a field hand in his
Sunday suit But the mandolin, espe-
cially if one of the good kind, made of
jointed strips of dark mahogany, has
an aristocratic polish and finish about
is, and wears it in jaunty fashion pc
culiarly its own.
The only unpleasant feature about il
to the learner is the knife-blade like
sharpness of its fine wire strings.
There are eight strings, in pairs, ali OF
steel wire. Two pairs are wound with
German silver, and are not so cruel rs
the others; but the unwound four,
hardly thicker than horse hairs. seem
to cut to the bone the finger ends that
press them down upon the frets. Oh
course that pain and trouble ends when
each finger of the left hand is tipped
with bony, callous spot. and one
must expect some such trouble in form.

Geronimo's Real Age.

The appearance of Geronimo has laid
at rest many fictions as to his appear
ance and condition. Our correspond
ent, who had frequent opportunities of
seeing him face to face, says he is a
young brave, under thirty, of handsome
figure and fine bearing. He has never
been wounded, and apparently his band
would have been good for many
more months of guerrilla warfare
had not their supply of am
munition given out. This account of
Geronimo agrees with the sketch given
by Captain John G. Bourke in his IAN
Apache Campaign" In that work
Captain Bourke describes Geronimo,
whom he calls Hieronymo, as one of
the youngest and handsomest of the
Chiricahua Apache chiefs, but one who,
in spite of his youth, exercised great in
fluence over his companions. San

How to Receive Unusual Attention from
Employees ON Sleeping Cars.
A well-known treasury official who
does considerable railroad travelling
says he has made an amusing discov-
cry, which if properly carried out in
sures unusual care and attention from
employees on parlor and sleeping cars.
The tourist who has been initiated is
provided with the most comfortable
seat in the dining car, receives special
care and attention from the walters,
and is always sure to have lower
berth in the sleeper. Should any of his
fellow-passengers become jealous at
the marked courtesy shown their CON-
rade, and inspired with curiosity to
know why the distinction is made, they
have only to look at the heels on the
shoes of the favored one, and they will
observe that there is small ''nick" or
notch there. Inspectors or spoilers
of the palace car service are constantly
travelling over the railroads to see that
the passengers receive proper atten-

his car cuts .'nick" in the hind part

The pews of the church had been var

came out of the vestry-room and began
the service by reading the sentence;

SAVANNAH, TENNESSEE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2s 1885,

ing close acquaintance with any
stringed instrument When nature has
provided that protection, the mandolin
player, if an expert. can produce some
very pleasing effects by producing the
tones by percussion on the strings over
the frets, instead ofby strumming with
a bit of tortoise she'll held between the
thumb and fore finger of the right hand,
which is the ordinary way OF playing.
The tone of the mandolin very much
resembles that of the either, having the
same clear, penetrating quality, but
the compass of the instrument and its
capabilities are much below those Of
the either.
The Spanish mandola is much like
the Italian mandolin in its general
features, but has important differences
from it nevertheless. Its body is shall
lower, shaped more like the bowl of a
spoon than the half of an egg divided
lengthwise, which is the form of the in
strument beloved in Naples and Rome;
its strings are of catgut instead of steel,
AID its tone Is not SO sharp and Incl
siye. Either mandola or mandolin,
however, has surprising volume OF
sound for SO small body, and domi-
mates pleasingly the tones of guitar,
or even those of piano. Expert play
ers have way of maintaining an un-
ccasing tremolando by keeping the lit
tie instrument in constantly CULVER
ing motion while they are executing a
solo, that at least looks as if it would
be rather hard to effect and harder yet
to continue for any length of time, but
the lengthening of vibrations thus
achieved prcttily supplies the lack of a
supporting instrument. The power of
controlling the volume of sound in a
crescendo or diminuendo possessed by
skillful performer is really surprising
and extremely effective in rendition OF
the peculiar passionate and sensuous
music to which the mandolin is best
adapted.
While the mandolin is easy to learn,
up to a certain point, it is, like all
seemingly simple instruments, very
difficult to develop to its highest artis-
tic capabilities, and the Italian who
has achieved complete mastery of it moi
only very justly respects himself high
ly, but is even respected in an extraor-
dnary degree by his comtrymen. The
best players are said to come from
Naples, where native who does no
at least think that he can play upor
the mandolin is a curiosity.
A good mandolin costs from twenty
five dollars to fifty dollars, and all pro
durable here are imported from Naples

THE EARTH A BUBBLE.
Earthquakes Due to the Escape OF Vast
Volumes Of Natural Gas.

Earthquakes Due to the Escape OF Vast
Volumes Of Natural Gas.
Among the many theories propound-
ed to account for the Charleston, S. c.,
earthquakes not the least plausible is
that which attributes them to the es-
cape of the vast volumes of petroleum
and natural gas. When it is consid
cred that the pressure of the escaping
gas is so great that it has never yet
been accurately measured, it will be
readily seen how the withdrawal of its
support from the interior might give
rise to sufficient displacement of the
crust of the earth along the line of
geological weakness to produce all the
disastrous results which have been re-
counted. Gauges connected with some
of the wells show pressure of five
hundred pounds to the square inch,
and this is believed to be far below the
normal pressure in the vast caverns
where il was stored before a myriad of
openings permitted its escape to the
outer world The volume which has
thus been liberated is simply incacula-
bic, and it is hardly possible that such
stupendous causes should not produce
equally stupendous results. As well
expect a balloon to retain its rotundity
when rent in its skin allows the gas
to escape.
The plausibility of this theory Is
further sustained by the reports of
serious changes in the flow of gas at
various points. If the crust of the
earth is supported to any great extent
by its fluid and gaseous contents, and
sinks or is disrupted by the withdrawal
of their support at one point, such a
disturbance might be naturally expected
to check or modify the flow at other
points by opening avenues into new
cavities and recesses. 1t is by no
means improbable that we will hear of
both gas and oil wells diyersely affected
as a result of the recent seismic phe-
| nomena.
