Why He Liked. the Overture.
From The Chicago Tribune.

FROM the lIlDulle-
The concert was at its height. The
drums, cymbals, comets, oboes, saxo-
phones, clarionets, and French horns
were filing the hall with a riotous ex-
cess of music-a pandemonium of mel
odies and stridulous protests in moral
combat. 1t was Wagner night.
On the front seat was a man IN the
garb of workingman. His hands
were hardened with toll, his hair was
griZZled, and his face was scanned and
furroWed with the marks Of a long and
laboriUtts struggle with adverse fotttihe.
yet his whole being was pervaded now
with the unmistakable halo of happi-
ness He reveled in the measured ess
content IN which the mastery inter
probation of the inspired work of the
great musician stepped his senses.
Poor and humble though he was, he
had a soul attuned TO song.
The music ceased. There was a short
recess. 4 man in the second row who
had watched the glowing countenanee
of the enchanted auditor leaned for
ward and spoke to him with an assur-
ance born ofthe free masonry which a
kindred enthusiasm establishes be-

Where the Logs Drifted
From the Filvnukee WtScon.


The great log raft which broke away
from the tow boat off Nantucket. last
December, and went to pieces, has, By
scientists of the photographic Office OF
The Bureau of Navigation, been closely
studied for the benefit of navigators.
1t was noted that the general drift OF
the logs was at first about southeast, UNI
der the influence of prevailing north
westerly winds, and then eastward into
the Cult Stream and well over to the
Azore Islands, where one of the huge
sticks of timber was picked up and
tOWed into Fagal on the 18th of June.
Some of the logs are now TO tie iioftti-
ward of the Azore Islands, drifting
northeasterly, and others are south of
the islands, moving in southeasterly
direction. The course of two of the logs
as picked by the experts of the Hydro
graphic Office show drift of 2 800 miles
for one and $500 miles for the other
from off the capes of the Chesapeake
to the Bay of Biscay by a circuitous
route.
Yes ;els have luckily thus far escaped
injury FROM the drifting timber, and
therefore, through the painstaking care
of the employees of the photographic
Office, the disaster to the raft may prove
benefit to all but the owner, in that
the photographic chart will indicate the
