Pianos! Organs!

The improved method of fastening strings of Pianos, invented by us, is one of the most important improv, ments ever made. making the instrument more richly musi. cal in tone, more durable and less liable to get out of tune.
 Both the Mason & Hamlin Organs and Pianos excel chiefly in that which is the ceief excellence in any musical instrument, quality of tone. Other things, though inn portaut, are much less so than this. An instrument with unmusical tones cannot bs good. Illustrated catalogue of new styles, introduced this season, sent free.

ting leagues between them and the
French vessels and the six OF their own
men whom they had left behind.
After this the Cirque Ports had vary
ing fortunes, until she again dropped
anchor at Juan Fernandez. September,
1904, TO find that four Of the men whom
they had left behind six months before
had been captured by the French, and
the other two had spent six months in
the wild pleasures OF seal and goat hunt
ing. fishing and incidence, living on the
abundant fruits of the island.
While these men had been enjoying
innocent ease and life devoid of care.
as their account of their sojourn pic
tured, Selkirk had been bcset by wars
without and within" and when not in
the midst Of scenes Of bloodshed. he had
been engaged I'm a bitter feud with his
brutal commander, and surrounded by
the strifes and discussions Of the crew.
In a moment Of blind and desperate
longing TO escape from all this strife,
Selkirk asked TO be left behind, with his
scanty effects, upon the island
But no sooner had his request been
granted, and the ship about TO hoist an
Choir, than full sense Of his folly and
the maddening realization of his desola-
ton and peril came over him, and he
cried and entreatcd with outstrctched
hands to be taken aboard. One nara
tive says that he even rushed into the
sea az far as he could 90. and stood gaZ-
ing out after the retrcating ship until
the darkness began to settle down about
him: and that as the vessel set sail, the
revengeful Strading stood on deck and
laughed at poor Selkirk's calamity
For many days the half-crazed man
staid by his sea chest and bundles on the
beach, hoping against hope that the YES
sci might return, tormcntcd by all the
superstitions concerning spirits and spec
tiers. with which the sailors are familiar.
Not until his forces were well nigh ex-
hausted would he quit the beach and take
food other than sea lion flesh and clans,
which he could get on the shore.
The exhaustion which followed this
fcaful strain seemed 90 tame and quiet

Fdison's Marvellous Experiment.

At Ogden, n. j., there is mass of
iron ore mile long standing perpen-
dicular and extending into the bowels
of the earth to great but unknown
depths, said to contain several hundred
million tons of magnetic material. As
the violent storms and uprushes in the
sun produce disturbances of the earth's
magnetism, which are recorded at vari-
Gus observatories, it has occurred to
Mr.. Edison that the strength of the
solar disturbance, as exerted on our
planet, could be increased enormously
by using a vein of magnetic iron ore,
and running around the body of ore
several miles of wire. forming an induc-
tive circuit, into which powerful cleo
trio currents would be thrown by any
disturbance of the earth's magnetism
"By the use of instruments every
change" he says, could be recorded,
and by the use of the telet hone all
sounds produced on the sun would be
heard on our planet" He is. accord
ingly, erecting telegraph poles on each
side OF the Ogden ore hill, on which he
