A NInsicaI Gas Machine.

A musical gas machine, called the pyro-
phone, has been brought out in England
Its compass is three octaves, and it has a
keyboard and is played in the same man
ner al an organ. 1t has thirty-seven glass
tubes. In which like set of gas jets burn
These jets, placed in circle, contract and
expand. When the small burners separate
the sound is produced; when they close to-
gethcr the sound ceases. The tone de
pends on the number of burners and the
size of the tubes in which they burn, so
that by careful arrangement and selec-
ton ell the notes OF the musical scale may
be produced In several octaves. Some of
the glass tubes in which the jets burn are
nearly eleven feet long. Philadelphia

The styles in chairs have changed
wonderfully within the past five years.
1t used to be that only the very toughest
makes Of chairs were ut all comfortable,
and IL seemed to be the idea with the fur
niture dealers that elegance and discom-
fort were insoparable. Every one re-
members the big, ugly chairs That were so
pleasant and easy to sit in, and that were
always kept out of sight in the back sit
ting room, while the parlor at the same
time was full of good looking, costly
chairs that were worth money to sit In.
You still see lots of this kind of straight
backed chairs with forward inclination
of the seat in such places as the lecture
rooms of churches. When a man sits In
one of these he is obliged to cross his legs
in order to get into comfortable position.
But most of the orders at the factories now
come for common suite chairs, with IL back
just high enough to catch the shoulders OF
man feet 3 inches in height, and
with a seat inclining backward. In such
a chair one naturally sits erect, with feet
fiat on tho 0oor and legs bent in natural
angle. think the change in the character
of the chairs began with tho craze OF physi.
cal culture 1t is good thing for the fac
tories. These chairs are used more than
the Others were, and of course wear out
faster-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

zone fall, " said nurseryman who does
great deal of business in Pttsburg, II
set out u large row of shade trees for an old
customer, and was disgusted TO learn o
few months later that nearly all were dead
Shortly after they were planted the gas
main was opened to connect new houses,
and am satisfied it was the escaped gas
permeatng through the loose soil and to
the roots that did the mischief
'There are complaints all over the city
about shade trees not doing well, and
when a row is near gas main there never
seems a healthy growth. The gas escapes
either through leakage or through the
pipes themselves, If they are of cast iron,
and the hard pavements or flag sidewalks
prevent it rising. 1t Is all thus conducted
to the outlet around the shade trees with
the result stated It Is only necessary TO
note how much better trees grow where
there are plank sidewalks TO admit the
reasonableness Of this theory. Pittsburg

Disadvantage of Owning Opera Glasses.
A gentleman went to an up town theatre
the other night with pair of opera glasses
in his pocket. For the sake of convenience
he left the bulky case at home and thereby
unconsciously aroused the suspicious of an
observant usher. The seats of the theatre
in question happened to be equipped with
the drop-a-quarter-in-t n-the-slot opera glass
boxes. 1t was a warm evening, and the
gentleman found it necessary to step out
after the first act. As he walked up the
aisle he deposited his opera glass In one OF
his coat tail pockets. The observant usher
saw the action and pounced upon the in.
nocent minded man in the lobby
Say, I'll trouble you fer that op'ra
glass" said the usher brusquely
II guess not" replied the gentleman,
somewhat startled and embarrassed.
"These glasses are my property" Saying
which he drew them forth and held them
up for the ushers inspection
Nav yer don't" exclaimed that worthy,
making a deftly parried grab for the
glasses; them glasses b'long to the house
Where's yer case fer em?"
The fact that the owner of the glasses
could not produce case for them i'm
pressed the usher and two other attaches
of the theatre as conclusive proof that the
gentleman had taken them from the slot
box in front of his seat, and they became
abusive and threatening. Finally, TO con
vince them that he was no thief, he led the
way to his seat, pushed quarter into the
slot of the box directly in front Of where
he had been sitting, and lol another pair Of
opera glasses appeared, Then he put
gilt edge on his vindieation by showing
the apologetic theatre attaches that his
own opera glasses were too large to go into
the slot box. Even then he did not get his
quarter back.--New York Times.

rHe euasrINe OF rHg MONSOON.

Pale was the morn, with deep cloud masses hung.
But ever and anon q f1tful ray
OF watery sunlight pierced the curtain gray,
And DER the plain long spectral shadows flung
Deep lay the DUST to every leaf it chung
And every blade of the sun whitened grass
Faint and obscure, as through smoking glass;
All nature showed. Silent was every tongue
OF languid beast and bird, save when some kite.
Circling In far Off spaces of the sky,
Shrilled loud his melancholy, homeless cry.
Long rainless weeks of scorching wind and glare
Had burnt green field and garden brown and
bare,
Till all things ached with fierce excess of light
But far away across the broad expanse
OF shifting sand where through meandered slow
The shrunken rivers course, marked a low.
Long bar Of leaden colored cloud advance
Swiftly against the wind. With eager glance
watched the curvlng headlands Whitley gleam
Against the nearing darkness On the stream
Gray rpples shivered, and in spiral dance
Dust eddles whirling rose The headlands first
And then low spits of sand as in a shroud,
We're covered by the overwhelming cloud
That filed half heaven, and now the scent at
last
OF longed for rain knew sudden blast
Roared through the trees-and the monsoon had
burst
