The arrest Of two editors for printing an
extract from another paper questioning the
validity Of the anti-lottery law is certainly
carrying things pretty high in this land of
free speech and liberal government
The Post has no objection to the stamping
ing out of the lottery companies, but the line
should be drawn, it thinks, at that point
where irresponsible underlngs OF the gov
eminent attempt to stamp out the press.
On this line the Atlanta Constitution says
that "this policy will not work. If lotteries
cannot be destroyed without also DESTROYING
the freedom of the press, the people will be
in favor of letting the lotteries alone. We
cannot afford to yield our right to speak and
publish fair criticisms of public measures.
If we yield the right in one instance we may
expect to be forced to keep silence whenever
it suits the government to demand 1t. For
tunately 1t is no easy matter to bulldoze the
newspapers of America. The menace of fine
and imprisonment will in timdate very few
N o matter what Federal officials nav hold.
the newspaper men of the country Will not
change their conviction that an honest crit
icism or discussion of the provisions con
tanned in the anti-lottery law cannot with
any show of justice be held to be violation
OF the law. If they are mistaken in this be-
lief, then the law will have to be repealed
or modified. In this republic the govern.
ment cannot array itself against the press
and have the support of the people,"
1t Is the policy and practice in some of the
monarchies to inhibit criticism by the press
OF the acts of the government, but until the
enforcement, or the alleged enforcement, of
the anti-lottery law no one dreamed that
such thing would be attempted in the
United States.-Houston (Tex.) Post Sept.

A WONDERFUL PLACE.
Nine Wells of Water in the Slid Granite
In Arid Arizona.


In Arid Arizona.
A wonderful place is Tinajas, about
thirty miles southwest of Mission
Camp, Ariz. The mountains at this
point have one face of hard, smooth
granite. All the waters falling on this
entire basin are, by most extraordi-
nary provision of nature, combined
with the efforts of primitive man, made
to flow through succession of nine
wells or tanks, carved in the solid
granite of which the mountain is COM
posed. These remarkable receptacles
are placed or excavated, one above the
other, the upper tanks being approach
able only by difficult and circuitous
route through a perfect chaos of gil
gantic detached powders. The lower
tanks are easy of access, and are often
drained of their contents by men and
animals travelling between Yuma and
Sonora. To one standing at the foot
of the mountain on which the upper
tanks are situated no indication of
their existence is afforded, nor does
climbing the smooth. steep mountain
side seem possible to one unacquainted
with the way. This latter fact is most
deplorable, because the upper tanks
have never been known to be dry.
Within two miles of these Arizonian
wonders are certainly $50 to 200
graves each marked by rows of stones
laid in the form of cross. These are
the resting places of men, fdmished for
water, who had expended their last
strength in reaching Tinajas, only to
find the lower tanks dry, and. ignor-
ant of the upper ones had lain down
in despair to die. st. Louis Republic.

The sword Of bunker Hill.

A friend, who at one time enjoyed
the intimate acquaintance of William
Ross Wallace, the author of that very
popular song, THE Sword of Bunker

told him that he was paid just $40 for
that piece of composition. He said
further, that Mr.. Wallace encountered
upon the platform of the Cooper Insti-
tute, at later day. Lowell Mason.
who wrote the music for this song,
and had the curiosity to ask Mr..
Mason what he was paid for his share
of the production. The latter answered
that he received $40 also. Thus au-
thot and composer were placed on
terms OF strict equality. The piece
netted many thousands of dollars to its
publishers.

The wonderful C,over-Head.

An enthusiast on the subject states
that each head of clover is composed
of about sixty distinct flower tubes,
and each Of these contains sugar not
to exceed the five hundredth part of
grain. The proboscis of the honey
bee must therefore be inserted into
500 clover tubes before one grain OF
sugar can be obtained. There are z, :
600 grains in pound, and as honey
contains three -fourths OF its weight OF
dry sugar each pound of clover honey
would represent the insertion OF the

AN ELECTRIC PIANO.
Jove's Fire Now Engaged In the Service
of Music.


of Music.
One of the novelties at the Frankfort
electrical exhibition is an electric
piano or electrophone, devised by a
Berlin solicitor, Dr. r. Eisemann.
This description of it is necessarily a
trif1e technical
The invention consists in attach
ing a series OF small electro magnets
to a listel running parallel with the
keys OF the instrument, one magnet
being fixed above each string.
'One of the ends of the electro
magnetic wire is fastened to a metal
rail, which by the gentle pressure of a
pedal becomes connected with the
electric current. while the other is
brought In contact with a metal
spring, which, when the key is struck,
cuts out the current by the interpola-
ton of current arresters, microphone
being applied in this case.
'On pressing the pedal and striking
a key the current flows through the
windings of the corresponding electro
magnet and through the microphone
the latter intercepting the current in
exact proportion to the number of vi
brations of the string. 1t is thus pos
sible to prolong the sound as long as
may be desired. The continuity of
the sound. the strength of which de-
ponds upon the force of the pressure of
the key. imparts to the instrument the
characteristic tones of the organ.
But the results of the electric ac-
ton are found to be most surprising in
the bass, the sounds emitted being de-
scribed as blending of the tones OF
the bassviol, violoncello and bassoon.
The center notes of the instrument do
not show an appreciable alteration in
information. while the higher notes are
said to bear strong resemblance to
the strains of an eolian harp"

disastrous consequences. The light
