Canned Music,

A travelling gentleman with phono-
graph fitted with all the modern ap-
planes of electric motor, tubes, etc.,
stopped at the hotel Thursday. From
then until Saturday night he had an in
terested crowd of listeners who paid their
nickels for the privilege of hearing some
famous band play or some noted quar-
tet sing. The machine seems simple
enough now but only one mind could
ever have conceived it. The waxen CYL
inders are a vast improvement on the old
tin foil, in making the sound of the voice
clearer and more distinct. Those who
missed seeing it missed rare opportun-
ity of seeing mechanical wonder.

1t appears to me that his arragnment Of the British

case is that the Etrurla arrives with her mail at
Queenstown at a. saturday that he does not re-
celve his letters until Monday. fifty three hours

Now for the other side. The mail is at Queenstown
at a. m. Saturday, in London, say, eighteen hours

London at all on Monday the first delivery Is made

that when Mr. snalley gets his letter at IL is within
one hour CT the earliest possible time Not much TO
