The Lowth stettio-telephoneh halls from
Chicago, and is combined transinitter
and receiver. A hollow extension about
four inches long is attached to the re
ceiver, from the end Of which a small
button protrudes slightly. The button
is placed against the throat near the
vocal chords, and the receiver is held
against the ear in the usual manner
When the operator speaks the vibrations
of the throat are transmitted with, it is
said, distinct clearness The instrument
is operated by the muscular vibrations
that accompany the utterance of words.
The inventor, James Lowth, is said to
have been experimenting and working
on this instrument for over ten years.
When he first applied for patent, three
years ago. the authorities at Washington
thought him crank, and refused to IS
sue one. He attached the instrument to
wires in the Office and asked over it:
what do you think now?' Back over
the wire came: II give in. 1t works per-
fectly." Our Chicago informant says it
has been successfully operated between
that city and Milwaukee, and in Pitts
burg it worked over a line seventy-ive
miles in length, on which were twenty
five Bell instruments. Electrical Re

The interstate commerce law forbids
railways to charge openly or by device any
one person a greater or less compensation
for any service rendered in the transpor-
tatlon OF passengers or property than it
charges for a like and contemDoraneous
service. This is one thing that this law
forbids. 1t does not, however, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another. Why then patron
ize the railroad that offers the interior
train service when for the same amount of
money you can obtain superior service
ride less number of miles and still reach
the same points. The railways entering
Wichita and offering these inducements
should be well patronized. The Missouri
Pacific Ry(Eort Scott Route)offers such in
ducements as mentioned above and great
many more which space will not permit to
enumerate. II you are not aware of this
fact-that the Missouri Pacific railway
has elegant train service such as the latest
improved reclining chair cars and the
modern improved Pullman palace sleep
ing cars, give it a trial and you will always
thereafter take the popular route. 1t is
the short line to st. Louis (by IS niles as
well as to all Colorado, California and
Washington Territory points Before

NATURES MUSIC.

Slide up thy silver sands, o booming sea.
The pines that skirt thee catch thy minstrelsy,
And over ell the forest swells tone
That echoes but the music Of thine own.
Half silent, rivers glide save murmurins waves
Break singing where the sweeping current laves,
Whispering among the pebbles low and sweet;
So low, SO sweet, wild birds the strain repeat
Down through great velvet cliffs, rich with green
moss,
Long, grtering chains, the slipping torrents toss,
Shivering and darling meath the arching trees
The wandering winds in mystic minor keys
sing their love songs above the waves and rocks
In harmony that every heart unlocks.
