In an article on Niagara Falls, an
evening paper observes, anent the mighty
roar of its waters: One can never forget
the effect of listening to this mighty
voice for the first time, nor is it an un-
pleasant sound which assails the ear.
The roar Is positively musical, they say,
and few years ago a distinguished
American organist spent long time in
studying it, ard trying to learn the meas
ure and compass of its tones, He finally
came to the conclusion that the deepest
tone made by the falling cataract was
that which would be produced by an
organ pipe about 100 feet in length, and
of proportionate dimensions as organ pipes
are made. Now, 100 feet, which is
about the height Of the falls (this varies
from 100 feet to nearly 1870 feet), is much
longer than any organ pipe is made, and
the sound emitted by such pipe would
not be sensible to us as a musical sound.
Therefore our ears could not apprehend
the music of the deepest tones; and as
our ears are at fault, we give this deep
tones music such discordant epithets as
noise and roar.
This story, according to one account,
seems incorrectly stated. The organist
in question suggested sound not nearly
three octaves below thirty-two feet G,
but about F sharp below that note. The
present writer tried to define the vast
harmonic hum of the great waterfalls,
and came to the conclusion that the task
was all but hopeless, although a steady
kind of tone seems to be maintained,
and certainly the Imagination might
readily seize upon such note as the au-
thority in question named, but whether
the indefinite sound could be described
as of foundation or upper partial tone
character it would be altogether impossi-
BILE to say.-London Musical World.

There are other advantages derived
from the sub-treasury. Bills become
worn and unfit for service, and these, in
amounts of $500, viii be taken at the de-
positories and fresh, new bills be given in
exchange. Then, too, coin is being called
in at certain times to give place to later
coinage The silver dollars in circulation
before the Bland bill of 1878, commonly
known as "the dollars of our daddies,
and appearing on the assistant treasurer's
report as dads" have been called in.
Twenty-cent coins and fractional cur
rency have been called in by the depart
ment. These coias or currency when re-
ceived at any ct the sub-treasuries are
held until an amount of sufficient worth
is received, when it is shipped to Wash
ington, the silver being recoined and the
currency destroyed.
The reporter asked Assistant Treasurer
Shultz regarding counterfeit money and
as TO whether it was ever received in his
Office. He replied that it was seldom
any counterfeits were received, as the
principal part of their business was trans
acted through banks, and it is rarely the
case that a bad bill or q spurious
coin passes the vigilant eyes of the
tellers. When bills or coins are
received the money passes through
the hands of his. chief teller or
his assistant, and they are each experts
in detecting counterfeits. A bill passing
through their hands and having the
slightest appearance of being spurious is
closely examined and then it becomes
apparent at once that some outside party
is trading upon the good name and credit
of Uncle Sam. None of the counterfeits
are perfect. In bills there is deficiency
in the size or poor job of engraving on
the vignette, difference in the thickness
of the paper, something which Is at
once apparent to the experts and it h at
once thrown aside. An iron stamp, bear
ing the word counterfeit" in raised
letters, is then heated in gas jet, and
the word fumed into the bill SO that it
can never be defaced. This is then given
back the owner-as though that were
any consolation. A silver piece found to
be spurious is cut in two and the pieces
returned. An average of probably three
or four bills comes into the sub-treasury
in the course of month and are thus
treated. st. Louis Republic.

Tho Origin of IdeBs.

While Capt. (afterward Sir SamueD
Brown was occupied in studying the
construction of bridges, with the view of
contriving one of u cheap description to
be thrown across the Tweed, near which
he lived, lie was walking in his garden
one dewy autumn morning, when he
saw tiny SPIDERS net suspended across
his path. The idea Immediately occurred
to him that a bridge of iron ropes or
chains might be constructed in like man
ner, and the result was the invention of
his suspension bridge. So James Watt,
when consulted about the mode of car
rying water by pipes under the Clyde,
along the unequal bed of the river, turned
his attention enc day to the shell of q
lobster presented at table, and from that
model he invented an iron tube, which,
when laid down, was found etfectually
to answer the purpose. Sir Isembert
Brunei took his first lessons in forming
the Thames tunnel from the tiny ship
worm. lie saw how the little creature
perforated the wood with its we'll armed
head, first in one direction and then in
another, till the archway was complete,
and then daubed over the roof and sides
with kind of varnish, and by copying
this wori; exactly on large scale Brunei
was at length enabled to construct his
shield and accomplish his great engineer
ing work. Once Il Week.

Tho women Of France are almost uni
versaliy misunderstood and misjudged,
because of the writings of such novelists
as Dumas fills and Feydeau. The French
woman is not whit the inferior of the
English or American woman. The mid
die class woman in the United States is
better educated than the average woman
of the same class in France. On the
other hand the French woman is more
active; she shares her husbands lal,ors
and often, indeed, takes more than her
share. Often her labors begin in tho
early morning, to end only at midnight,
or later still. The French woman of tho
lower middle class does not hold it be-
meath her dignity to perform the hum
blest household duties, while at the same
time she is lively, pleasant and always
willing to talk. She is rs faithful to her
husband as any American or English
woman in the world, and It is the mere5t
dclusion to suppose that family life in
France is undermined. - Mrs. Frank
Leslie.

Eussla's Horses and Boots.

In Moscow, as well as everywhere in
Russia, the horses are very fine and very
fast. They have the build of race horses,
with their slim legs and far reaching
nccks. Even some of the drosliies have
full blooded horses, and their drivers arc
able to obtain fancy price for their use.
Horses and boots are the two things that
Russians seem to pride themselves upon.
They may not have any stockings-ald
few of the lower classes wear them at all
but boots they must have and will
have. Boots with high morocco tops,
and worn with the pantaloons tucked
into the tops, so that every inch shows;
and then, like the Mexican with his
spurs, they are dressed. - Henry II.

From the facts at our command, there
is evidence that individual storage of life
may be far greater than the vast ma
jority of people either expect or hope for.
The mean duration of life in England
may be taken at Al years. But we ha o
instances upon instances in which this
storage Of life Is doubled, and some in
which it is treoled. / recently had, in
the consulting room, at the same time,
three gentlemen, whose united ages
reached the total of 500 years, or over 81
years each, and each with fair promise
of from four to five years Of life at least.
I also, within the present quarter, saw,
on the same day, two gentlemen, whose
united ages gave 1856 years, or an aver
age of 90 years each. have seen, and
carefully examined physically, woman
who had attained the age of 105 years,
and who lived afterward for three or
four years; and once conducted an au-
topsy Of man who had passed his 93d
year.
There was nothing in the social condi
ton of the individuals concerned that
could of itself account for such an I'M
usual storage of life as that which they
presented. Two of those specially re-
ferred to were men of the highest class
of mental power; the other has come
down from one of the oldest Of the noble
families of Europe; fourth has fought
his own way from the lowest position to
one of affluence and power; while the
oldest of all was, from first to last, in
abject poverty and was in workhouse.

Tho salmon's Feeding Grounds.

Where the sea salmon go is as much a
mystery today as it has ever been. After
leaving the coast they disappear. Stray
fish have been found in very deep water
hundreds of miles from any salmon river,
but their marine feeding grounds are still
undiscovered. In the spring they sud-
denly reappear at the mouths of rivers.
While in salt. water they never jump at
fly; the moment they strike fresh they
rise freely. When going up stream they
frequently stop in pools as though to rest,
and when descending so most of the
time tail first, letting the current carry
them and keeping head UP the river
