BOulders Moved by Ice.

Uuier the hea of ga Moving Boul-
dsr,' in dispatch from Winsted,
Conn, in the New YORK Sun, scientiic
persons are invited to explain the phe-
nomenon of large stone apparently
moving itself in West Hill Pond. There
is no question: think, says a correspond
eut, that this effect is produced By. the
ice which forms in winter. As the char
actcr OF ice is to expaud, contrary to the
rule in nature, which is laid down, that
heat causes expansion aud cold contrac-
tion, the force exercised by Il thick mass
of ice is unusually great. Successive
heavy formations of ice in winters have
pressed the stone forward toward the
shore. A similar phenomenon may be
observed IN the Twin Lakes, in Conuec-
ticut, where several large boulders
which were once near the centre Of tho
lakes have gradually approached the
shore, until some oftncm are nov almost
on the bank. The advance each year is
very slight, but oil Inhabitants in that
section renSilbcr we'll when these rocks
were in deep water. The ice theory is,
! believe, the only true explanation Of
the remarkable phenomenon.

Machine Made Musir.

Harp playing by machinery is one of
the latest novelties. The harp is ar
ranged so that the plane of its strings is
horizontal, the instrument lying on the
table, after the fashion OF either.
Then, rs regards the written music, the
notation of the traditional stave has
been abandoned, and sheets upon which
are imprinted mysterious groups of num-
bcrs are used in its stead. When one of
these sheets is slid into frame made for
the purpose the meaning of the figures is
interpreted.
Each Of them falls under string of
the instrument, and by picking at them
in numerical order with bcvellcd pen
cil OF ivory the operator produces tune.
Time and phrasIng are indicated by the
spacing and ALIGNMENT of the numbers,
nor are the requirements OF harmony
forgotten
When the melody of the air is adj
Judged insufficient one Of the figures is
accompanied by letter, indicating that
Il button attached to the Instrument, and
bearing the same symbol, should be ut
this juncture pressed. This action, by
bringing small saw Of ivory points into
play, produces a cord suitable to the oc-
casion Pail Mall Gazette.

About PinnOs.

"How times have changedl Thirty
years ago the family that could own
piano was considered to be well-to.do,
but to-day it is poor family indeed
which cannot afford to own a piano of
some kind" remarked l.. G. Farley, who
represents an Eastern piano mandatory
and is stopping at the Palmer House.
elm those old times piano was an ex-
pensive luxury, and so it is to-day for
that matter, if one of the best quality be
purchased. There are only two or three
of the hundreds Of piano factories in this
country that can honestly claim to manu-.
facture pianos from beginning to finish.
Pianos are simply put together by n an
ufacturers, not made. The different
parts of u piano are not made by the
firms under whose names the instruments
are manufactured. Piano making was
wholly revolutionized few years ago,
when large establishments sprang up
which manufactured particular portions
OF the instrument. A dozen firms make
only cases; a like number make the deli
cate piece of mechanism known as the
'actiOn,' and as many foundries cast the
heavy iron plates which sustain the
strain OF the strings. There are also
manufacturers of sounding boards and
of wrest planks into which the tuning
pins are set, carvers Of legs, Tyres aud
trussers, importers of felts and cloths,
winders of wrapped strings for the lower
notes, and drawers of thinner wires for
the upper notes. Pianoforte hardware is
speciality of large number OF houses,
while other firms supply complete key.
boards, with black keys of ebony and
white keys of a medium quality of ivory.
However, keys are quite extensively made
of celluloid and various other compost
tions nowadays. Ivory, of course, is
used still in the more costly instruments.
Even the stencil plates for the name are
often supplied by the varnish maker, SO
there remains nothing to be made at the
factory except the name itself. One of
the largest firms in New York, which
has capacity OF turning out from sew
enty-five to ninety completed instru-
ments per week, makes no part of the
piano but the name, and frequently that
is supplied by the dealer who buys
LARGELY enough to justify having his own
name put on as maker. Sometimes the
ingenuity Of name maker is taxed to
manufacture one closely resembling that
Of some one of the best known makers,
so as to entrap the unwary. But all in.
struments put together in the manner
have described arc not inferior. Chi.

One Glass Ruled Too Long.

The following extract from the plat
form of the Peoples party of Louisiana
is to the point:
Far be it from us to cast any reflections on
the members of a profession that has furnished
to this state and to this country some of the
brightest minds and noblest spirits that the
world has ever seen. But their wants are not
your wants. their views are not your views,
their interests are not your interests. The Ro-
man republic was ruled by the military caste.
The first French republic was ruled by the mil
itary caste, and in both the liberties of the peo-
pie were tra1npled under foot. This republic
has been ruled by the plutocratic caste for
decades, and the liberties Of the people are
threatened by corporate bodies devised and ad-
vised by lawyers. Government by a class must
produce legislation for a class, and we have
both today. Until we get rid of the one we can
scarcely hope to be freed Of the other.
Since the Democratic party obtained control
of the state government the offices of governor
and lieutenant governor have been invariably
held by lawyers, and on both the Democratic
tickets today before the people the candidates
for these two offices are lawyers, while the Re
publican candidate for governor is of the same
profession. The presidency of the United
| States has been monopolized by lawyers for
| over quarter of a century, with the exception
| of the terms of President Grant, and the United
| States senate has been constantly controlled
| by members of the legal profession.
| 1t is certainly not unreasonable to contend
| that this uninterrupted selection Of our admin
istrative officers from one class should cease.
and that they should be chosen more impair
TALLY from the members of various callings
and interests, so that the wants and desires of
all may receive fair and impartial considera-
ton.
The agricultural interests have suffered and
are suffering most from the results Of unjust
legislation. From the ranks of the wealth pro-
ducers should be chosen the men who are to
administer the necessary relief, if such relief
be forthcoming. We declare emphatically
that the interests of the white and colored
races in the south are identical, but that both
would suffer unless the undisputed control of
our government were assured to the intelli-
gent and educated portion of the population.
Legislation beneficial to the white man must
at the same time be beneficial to the colored
man. Equal justice and fairness must be ac-
corded to each, and no sweeping legislation
should be allowed bearing unjustly on either.
