A Noise Detective.

A simple method has been devised,
by means of which, in the midst of
busy workshop full of machinery in mo-
ton, any special noise, even though
slight, can be distinguished aud its origin
traced. The apparatus consists of an
ordinary india-rubber gas tube about
yard in length may, however, be varied
to suit the nature of the investigation.
The tube is unprovided with ear-plece or
bell. One end is applied to the car OF
the observer, while the other IS moved
about in order so explore the seat of the
irregularity. Since the free orifce OF the
tube is comparatively small and is applied
as closely as possible to the vibrating sur
face, it practically receives only those
sonorous vibrations which are emitted
by this surface. Those who have to do
with machinery will find it especially
useful for observing noises due to irregu-
larities in the working of small parts of
machines, which may be either difficult
or dangerous to approach in any other
way. Chicayo NecS.

Wonderful Increase in Horse Speed.

"The wonderful increase in the speed
of both men and horses of recent years."
said an old racing man the other day,
"holds out an alluring prospect for the
future. Everybody remembers when a
2:40 gait was looked upon as very rapid
travelling for trotter, but nowadays the
road horse who cannot do that time is
not worth treasuring in memory over
night. There arc over 600 horses IN this
country which have actually done better
than 2:3O this year. They arc in all Sec
tions of the country, and every horse has
n fond owuer-who is assiduously deVel-
opiug his speed. These facts are far
more significant than the occasional per-
formances of phenomenal horses like
Sunol or Jay-Eye-See. The two-minute
limit no longer looks far away. A com
parsion of figures shows that out of%0o
trotters mentioned above considerably
over 400 are less than seven years old.
The trottcr, unlike the runner, improves
with age. Big speed is often found in
ten or twelve year old, whereas q run
ming horse nowadays is pretty we'll played
out after his third year unless he has q
cast-iroa constitution and a disposition
that nothing can rufie. There is a big
chance for the development Of record
breakers out of the 400 young horses
who are at present stretching their mus
caiar legs over training tracks in various
parts of the country. ."-Nelo York Sun.

until somebody takes and puts him in his
cage or brings the cage up to him and
then he will jump in. A good illustra-
tive instance of that kind occurred in
railroad accident in a tunnel just outside
WITHOUT CEREMONY.

Of Baltimore about two years ago. In
the Cole show the lion and tiger cages
were wrecked in the center of the tunnel,
and the lion got out and roamed through
the tunnel in the dark until finally he
walked out one end and jumped into an
empty cage. But Mr.. Cole had to take
a lantern and 60 in the tunnel and secure
the black tiger himself, which he did
without much difficulty.
There is a school for the training of
animals or properly building in which
animals are trained on the edge of the
meadows at the back of Jersey City
Heights, and over there is a lion whelp
being trained to do some remarkable
tricks. Already he can see-saw on a
board, stand up on his hind paws and
walk a few feet, drag a wagon
around while harnessed to it, and
his trainer is trying to make him wind
up his performance by trotting off to his
cage carrying the apparently senseless
body of his master in his mouth. If he
succeeds in thoroughly training him, and
it looks now as if he would, the lion will
undoubtedly be worth a mint to MIR.

About Circus Accidents.

The writer has taken the trouble to
hunt up the records Of lions that have
been shown and PERFORMED in the United
States during the paseStwenty:. years and
finds that there is not Fsingle instance on
record of a performG or anybody else
having been bitten bya. ferocious lion.
In all that time onlfone man, who was
drunk at the time of the occurrence, has
been struck by the paR of lion. This
man was paid for brutally maltreating one
of his charges by blow that knockedI
him seuseless and was left lying in the,
bottom of the cage tof twenty minutes,
while the four occupants of the cage
which he was in quietly curled them
selves up in the corner and watched him.
That occurred in Pennsylvania, and he
was a man named Adam Wenzel, who
was with the O'Brien show.

Wealth Inside q Statue.

Pygmalion, the ancient artist, could
not be more overjoyed when his statue
became transformed into lovely woman,
than the heirs of the late Nine. Artaud,
who recently died in Paris, France, when
they discovered q considerable fortune
carefully hidden away in the interior of
a common plaster of paris reproduction
of the famous Venus of Milo. The his
tory of the sudden find is curious and
entertaining. Nine. Artaud died with
out making a will, and, as she had no
notary, her children and grandchildren
appealed to a financial adviser of the de-
ceased who used occasionally put her
money out in Stock Exchange specula-
tiors. That the old lady had left fair
share of lucre was certain, and as not a
silver nor a bank note could be found
anywhere in her rooms, the heirs came
to the natural conclusion that the financial
agent must have been intrusted by Nine.
Artaud with her money before she made
her exit from this world. The agent de-
clared in the most positive manner that
he had received nothing in long time
from Nine. Artaud, who, feeling her
end approaching, gave up Rourse specu-
lations.
This did not satisfy the heirs, who
plumply accused the agent Of having ap-
proprieted what did not belong to him,
but as they had no proofs against him,
they were unable to begin legal proceed
ings. They accordingly set to work to
divide the furniture and general belong
ings of he deceased between them. The
dining and salon chairs, tables and trap
pings were in Empire style and worth
from $500 to $4,000, but as it would be
impossible to obtain more than half their
value, the discomfort among the heirs
increased. A lottery of the effects having
been originated, an old statue represent
ing the Goddess of Love fell to one Of
the daughters of the deceased, who was
about to break it with vexation when one
of her relatives proposed to examine it
to see if by any chance it were a rare
work Of art. The base of the statue was
covered over underneath with oil cloth,
and when the covering was removed out
tumbled a choice collection of bank
notes, bonds, securities and obligations,
the whole amounting in value to about
$40, 900. The plaster of paris Venus
will be piously preserved by the family
now as an emblem Of luck and happy
heirloom. London Ieleqraph.

They only heard this much. They
were so pafalysed that they had &c hear
as much as thu; but as soon as thsy re-
covered they dropped the candelsbra,
scuttled down the stairs like two black
cats, and were out on the street in a jiffy.
Consequently they did not hear Rccta

that easy, rolling gait which an officer
has when he is simply walking on his
beat. He ratified on the curb-stone with
his club and clutched the first of the two
men. The other ran like deer down the
street; but they got him, too, afterward.
Mr.. Burnham heard the noise the men
made, and also heard Nina scream
"Papa," in a frightened way. He rushed
into the little girls room and found her
covering under the coverlid, with Recta
clasped tightly to her for protection. He
called "Thomas" as loudly as he could,
and in few moments Thomas came
down and lit the gas, aud found the bag
Of plate at the foot of the stairs. Then
they knew that the house had been "bur-
gled," and later the policeman told them
he had caught the burglar.
Nina had awakened in the night, and,
hearing football in the next room,
wound up Recta to give her papa little
surprise. The speech was perfect sue
cess as a surprise, and Mr.. Burnham felt
prouder than ever of his idea.
When the burglars learned how they
had been caught, "Bill" turned to the
other and said, disgustedly:
"It's pretty hard 60 for cove to be
dropped on by doll-babyl"
But they were not used to doll-babies
that talked at night. That is their excuse
for being so furried over Rectas night
harangue. Mr.. Burnham felt that the
talking doll had more than paid for itself.

THE LIONS ARE LOOSE.

The two lions Mr.. Doris spoke of as
jumping out of the cage were two OF the
best trained animals ever shown IN
America and when Doris sold out bis
circus the Orrin Brothers bought them
and took them down to Mexico, where,
they are still performing. Romeo was
afterwards trained by man named Volta
to do the riding act and it is said that
the exhibition of the lions in bull pen
in Vera Cruz by the Orrins netted them
$40, 200 in one week. This part of
Romeo's act consisted Of crouching on a
padded horse while the horse was gallop-;
ing around the ring, and then at the word
of command jumping over banner and
alighting on the pad again. Romeo has,
also been taught to walk narrow plank
much in the fashion as a tight rope.

A HIGHLY TRAINED FOREST MONARCH.

HIGHLY TRAINED FOREST MONARCH.
"As O matter of fact" said John B.,
Doris, the well-known museum manager,
but formerly 4 circus proprietor Of some
thirty years. experience, "there is no
animal with which We circus men have
to deal that is so easy 10 handle, and so.
safe for performer az q lion. In every
thing they are Just like great big good
natured dogs, easy to train and more
than ordinarily eusy to.perform. In fact,
after they are once trained to do their
tricks, anybody with whom they are ac-
quainted, such as an attendant or man
whom they have been accustomed to see
around the show, can go into their cage
and put them through their act with per-
feet safety. Why, in one season I had
no less than eleven merperform my lions
and in each case thesesinen were feeders,
canvas-men, hostlep ann 1ther employees
of the circus who would be apt to be
about the animals all the time.
"It is the appearance of the lion and
that dreadful roar of his that strike ter
ror into the heart of the spectator and
cause him to think that he is in great
danger; but that roar of the lion, while
so dreadful in sound, is like good many
other things in the show business, more
of a deception than otherwise. A lion
really only roars when he is in particu-
larly good humor, and he can no more
help doing it than can dog help bark
ing.
"An incident occurred with my show
in Indianapolis which proves how great
the terror lion will cause and really
how docile he is. We were 6xing up in
the spring of 1885 to go on the road, in
the Exposition building, and I believe
there were three hundred men at work in
the building. One of my men, named
Pearl Sowder, was transferring the four
lions from the old cage to the newly
painted wagon, when, by the carelessness
of one of tho attendants, the door flew
open and two of the animals, Romeo and
George, Jumped out and started across
the room towards a couple of barrels
that contained fat from the meat with
whichth animals were fed. The minute
they struck the ground somebody spied
them and shouted Tho lions are loose!
In half a minute-yes, in less time
than that-every one of those 300 men
was out of that building, and they didn't
stop for doors either: they went through
windows, taking, glass and everything
else.
"Sowders heard the noise, and looking
round, jumped out of the cage, ran across
the room, grabbed Romeo by the scrutf
of the neck and dragged him back and
literally booted him into the cage, and
then served George the same way. All
those two lions cared for was the fat in
the barrel. paid $50 for the glass,
though, that the men broke when they
went through the windows, and so my
recollection of that incident is a vivid
one."
