Statistics About the Echo.

Some one has recently figured out tho
exact distance that person may be re-
moved from a rejecting surface and yet
hear the echo of his own voice. Five
syllables q second is said to be the limit
both of distinct pronunciation and dis
tinct hearing. This gives one-ffth of a
second for each syllable. When the at
mospheric temperature is sixty-one de-
grees sound travels 1920 feet q second.
In one-fifth that time it will cover q dis
tance of 224 feet. Hence, if rejecting
surface is 112 feet distant the initial
sound of an uttered syllable will be re-
turned to the ear just as the next syllable
starts on its journey. In this case the
first fifth of hesecond is consumed in the
utterance of syllable and the next fifth
of the second in hearing its echo. Two
syllal les would be echoed from reflect
ing surface 224 feet distant, three sylla,
bles from 1856 feet, and so on within the
limit of audibleness.-NcU York Press.

FEEDING FOWLS BY CLocKwoRK.

1t is in print that Fred Leach, of An
sonia, Conn, has some fine poultry, and
believes in feeding them as regularly as
he eats his own meals. He is unable to
be at home nights when the chickens 60
to roost, and in order that they may be
fed without fail, he has rugged up an ap-
paratus which works like charm. The
usual quantity of corn is placed in tin
can, which is suspended from a string
and weighted. An alarm clock in the
outer coop releases the string at GER
tain hour, the can turns bottom side up,
and the corn is scattered. There are four
GOODS and each has its can, all working
at the same time.-New York Witness.

BREED WITH JUDGMENT.

Fashion in trotting stock is constantly
fluctuating. The family which stands
highest in popular esteem to-day may be
greatly ovcrshadowcd by some other fam
lily some years hence. For this reason
the young breeder should guard against
becoming welded, so to speak, to any
one family of trottcrs. The breeder who
has the best judgment and keeps the
best posted by the records will be the
first to detect the coming trotting sire or
family, and will be likely to have lit.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
UTILIZING WOODEN PLATTERs.

Table Talk tells us how to utilize the
little, thin, wooden plates now used SO
extensively in sending out lunches from
restaurants and bakeries. Take two per-
feet plates; cut one in heart form, gild
or bronze it inside and out; fasten it to
the other plates by means of small holes
about threc-fourths of an inch from the
edges, through which are run sllkcn
cords. Sketch pretty design on the
upper plate, and the result is unique.
oRNAMENTAT1oN OF HOUSEHOLD LINEN.
The ernamentation of household linen
should be of kind that will not dete-
riorate by wear and tear or by frequent
washing. The popular style of open
work now claiming much attention from
housewives who desire the latest fancy
resembles Renaissance or Richelieu gui-
pure. For this the embroidery is done
with colored threads. The main por-
tions of the design touch each other, or
are drawn so as to be connected by small
bars. The outlines are covered with
buttonhole stitches and the pattern filled
in with various fancy stitches, as may be
required, lace stitch, French knots, etc.
When the design is embroidered the
material between the portions should be
cut away. Care should be exercised in
selecting both the design and the col
ored threads, that the former, when fin
ished, may be sufficiently close to prove
durable and that the latter may not fade.

OUTLET SYSTEM
Congressman Holman Believes in
Giving it a Trial.
Proposed River and Harbor Bill
Amendment.

If Successful 1t Would Save Millions.
The Recent Floods in the Lower Mis-
sissippi Valley Has Thrown Grave
Doubts Upon the Levee System Alone.
Text of the Amendment.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Mr. Holman
has taken up the question of the outlet
system for the Mississippi in a practical
form. He has always been ene of the
most earnest and studious friends of the
Ohio and Mississippi river interests. He
is now one of those who believe that the
recent food has thrown grave doubts
upon the efficacy of the levee system
alone. He therefore believes it wise
thing to make practical trial of the out
let system. If it succeeds it will save
millions of money and property; and the
cost of trying it is not great. Mr.. Hol-
mans proposition, as submitted in the
form of an amendment to the river and
harbor bill, is as follows
That the secretary of war is hereby
authorized to cause to be constructed an
outlet from the Mississippi river to Lake
Borgne, in the state of Louisiana. and
such other outlets to said river, either
above or below New Orleans, as may be
found necessary and proper to improve
the navigation Of said river in prevent
ing the overflow of the waters thereof in
great floods, such outlets to be of such
dimensions as the secretary ofwar shall
determine. He is authorized to enter
into contracts with John Cowden, or
any other responsible person or persons,
for the construction of such outlets, or
any, or either of them, on such condi-
tions and limitations and with such
guarantees, bonds and security
for the faithful performance Of
such contract or contracts as he
may deem proper, or he may cause such
work to be done as other public works
under his control ere constructed. He
may obtain such lands as may be re-
quired for either or any of such works,
either by purchase or condemnation in
conformity with law, as he may find
necessary; and the sum of $500,000, or so
much thereof as may be necessary for
the purposes aforesaid, is hereby appro-
priated; provided, however, that each
and all of the powers conferred ON the
secretary of war by the provisions of
this paragraph shall be executed and
carried into effect with and subject to
the express approval of the president Of
the United States.

A BOGUS RABBI

Given the Razzle-Dazzle by a COngrega-
tion of Cleveland Hebrews.
CLEVELAND, o., May 27.-Sunday was
the Feast of Weeks, a sacred day among
the Hebrews and its observance in the
synagogue on Woodlawn avenue was
marked by sensation. A large congre-
cation was assembled in response to a
summons by a man calling himself
"Rev p. Werber, of Baltimore" The
minister appeared in his rabbits cap but
his opening remarks were not received
with favor. AS he gradually departed
from the Jewish doctrine Indignation
was manifested. but he went boldly on.
After preaching for an hour he de-
clared that the Jewish idea of the Mes
siah was ridiculous. Men from all parts
of the house rushed to the platform,
spat in the preachers face and tried to
tear off his cap. Several ministers of
the German Reform church were in the
audience and went to the rescue of the
preacher Violence was prevented, but
scenes of wild confusion continued. A
squad of policemen finally arrived, and
Werber, who had confessed that he was
not rabbi, was conducted to a street
car in safety.

FALSE WORK SWEPT AWAY.
Part of New Bridge Over the Ohio, al
Wheeling, Goes with Crash.

Wheeling, Goes with Crash.
WHEELING, w. Va, May 2T.-The
false work of the channel span of the
Union railroad bridge now being built
across the river at the north end of this
city, was swept away by the swollen
river at o'clock Sunday afternoon, and
with it went 600 tons of steel floor
beams, many cross beams and few up
rights. The span is 500 feet in the clear
and is tine only part Of the bridge un-
finished. The false work was up last
fall, but was destroyed by towboats
striking it. When destroyed it had so
far advanced that 1t was expected to be
finished by June /. A mass of drift the
entire width and 100 feet broad lodged
against the piling, which collapsed. On
the bridge was an immense traveller, or
square derrick structure of wood, 100
feet high, and 40 feet square at the
base. This went, but the three engines
were saved, and by loosening the bolts,
damage to the completed spans on either
side was prevented.
The crash was witnessed by hundreds
of people and heard at great distance
The work destroyed represented $75,-
600 or $50, 900 of value, but tits thought at
least half the iron may be saved, which
will reduce the loss to $40, 900 or $50, ,000
The accident will delay work from two
to,six months. The Edgmoor Bridge
company and Beard Brothers, contract
ors, not the Wheeling Bridge and Ter
minal Railway company, are the losers.
The casualty much resembled that at
the Chesapeake and Ohio bridge at Gin
cinnati, when it was nearing compile
ton, and the contractors are the same.
