Carrying on Conversation Between
Peaks Without an Instrument.

Carrying on Conversation Between
Peaks Without an Instrument.
A marvellous story comes from
Dakota OF discovery which has been
acoidentlly made In mountains north
west OF Rapid City. 1t Is stated that
there is a natural telephone line be-
tween two mountains in the Black
Hills range.
+ On each side of valley twelve
miles in width stand two peaks sew
eral thousand feet high, which tower
above the other mountains and have
long been known as landmarks.
They have only on rare occasions
been scaled. so but very little Is
known of their topography.
Some little while ago two parties
started out, one for each peak, taking
with them photographs for the pur-
pose of signaling to each other across
the valley. The ascent was made,
and when the top was reached, one of
the party on the north mountain was
surprised to hear voices which ap.
parently came out of the air.
By changing his position he dis
covered that on q certain spot on the
AAount diu no Coulo hOoA thC NOiOOc,
but that in other positions he could
not hear them. He called the atten.
ton of his party to the phenomenon,
and when the attention of the other
party had been attracted it was found
that an ordinary conversation was
plainly heard from one mountain top
to the other.
This may be considered q rather
tall story to foist upon the intelligent
reader OF the day, but Electricity Of
fers the following as an explanation:
The form of the mountain might be
considered as serving the purposes of
elliptical reflectors of sound, the
speakers placing themselves in the
foci at each end of the elipse. The
low density of the atmosphere at the
attitude at which the observers were
would also tend toward intensifying
the sound.
The various whispering galleries in
England and the continent can be
quoted as showing how sound Is mag
pified under certain conditions; an
other instance may be found in the
Mormon temple at Salt Lake City.
This, the last, Is of enormous dimen-
sions, is built in the form of o true
ellipse and q person standing in the
focus at one end can carry on con-
versation In o whisper with another
person who places himself In the focus
at the other end.

Church or Lodge.

FoRr DODGE, A.-AuRust 5.-Whether to
forsake allegiance to the Roman Catholic
church or the order of Knights of Pythias is
troubling about one-third of the most active
members of the lodge of the latter order
here. The same question will have to be
decided by Catholic Knights all over the
state.
In response to a personal letter from L. F.
Gemmett, two Iowa Catholic priests, Bish-
ops Cosgrove and Hennessey, have written
letters declaring that the Knights of Pythias
order is condemned by the church in com
mon with all secret societies, and the penalty
for joining it is accommodation.
The Catholic knights here say that they
Joined the order after consulting their pastor,
who said that Archbishop Ireland of st Paul
and Bishop Marty of Sioux Falls had ex-
pressed their judgment that it was not pro-
hibited.

RESULTS.
Four hundred Babies I'm Parade.

AsBUKx PARK, August 4.-The annual baby
parade, one of the unique and interesting
features of the season at Asbury Park, was
held on the board walk along the ocean front.
Elaborate preparations had been made, I'M
der the direction of Major James A. Bradley
and Mrs. Helen A. Miles, the latter acting as
general manager of the novel parade.
Nearly 400 babies were in line. Among
them were representatives of all parts of the
country, as we'll as of several foreign coun-
tries. One of the features of the parade was
a little 4months-old pappoose named Run
away, which was carried along, slung on the
back of its mother, who rejoiced IN the name
of Gray Buffalo Robe. They are part of the
with Indian party connected ''PaWnee Bill's''
wild west now exhibiting here. The parade
formed under the cover of the Asbury ave-
nue. pavilion, from which the babies were
wheeled up the long walk to the Fifth avenue
pavilion and back again.
Fully 10000 people crowded every avail
able inch of space along the line. The pref
tlly decorated carriages were divided into
six sections, headed by the Trenton warship
band, and tiny four-year-old policeman an
full uniform and brass buttons. The Judges,
who occupied an elevated pavilion, erected
for the occasion, were Mrs. Justus Z. Ralph,
of Asbury Park, Mrs. Julius Chambers and
Mrs. Depew.
There was a long list of prizes. Every ba-
by IN the parade received a souvenir box of
candy from founder James A. Bradley, and
nursing bottle and toys from several bust
ness houses. Mr.. Bradley also gave hand
some baby carriage as prize for the best
| decorated currlage in the line. VIM. G. Rob
erts, of New York, gave a handsome gold
watch for the youngest mother, and the To-
cal Grand Army post offered large silk flag
| for the granchild of a veteran registered
first. The prize for the pretticst baby was
awarded to representative of Chicago lit
| tie Sylvia Wilde. Among the entries were
two little daughters of Julian Ralph, the
| magazine writer. The Burke Triplets OF
Trenton were in a two-seated pony carriage
| presented to them by Mr.. Bradley, and were
| escorted by company of about thirty little
| boys in bathing suits.

results of recent Treatiss.

WASHINGTON D. c., August 5.-Some tables
compiled by Chief Brock, of the bureau of
statistics, show that the net result of recip-
rOcal treaties so far shows an increase in ex-
ports of about $S,000,OOO, and this when the
treaties have been in force only few months,
and this is in comparison with a previously
declining trade.
When the arrangement was made with
Germany it was declared that it would have
no effect because of the high tariff imposed
by that country on hog products. 1t took
some time to re-establish trade relations with
regard to the products which had before been
prohibited, and TO convince the Germans that
the inspection of the exported meats made
by the agricultural department was thorough
ly effective. This has finally been accom-
plished, however, and already there has been
an increase of over s., 0O0, 900 in the exports
OF hog products to Germany.
The decrease in the imports of dutiable
manufactured goods represents another enor-
NOUS advantage to the American farmer.
The millions of goods of that character form
eEly imported which are now made at home
are estimated to have given employment to
nearly 100, 900 workmen, and as every worker
IS estimated to consume $50 worth Of Amer
lean agricultural products that represents
many millions of dollars more of benefit to
the American farmers. The large decrease
IN the imports of farm products from Can.
ada, all of which has been made up by the
farmers of the United States, represents still
another large element of saving.

formations to Follow.

PTrsBURe, Pa, August 5.-The threatened
suits against the Carnegie officials and the
PinkertOns, charging them with murder.
were begun and warrants issued for the az
rest of the defendants
At IL o'clock Messrs. Brennan, Cox and
Hugh Ross the prosecuting witnesses, went
to Alderman Kings and made the informa-
ton, and the warrants were issued. Robert
end William Pinkorton are the heads of the
Finkerton agency; ]. A. Potter and J. 6.
Cory are s1perintendents at the works, and
Messrs. Friek, Lovejoy, Leishmann aud
Curry are officials of the company, and the
balance are Pinkerton men.
Attorney Cox said it was not their inten-
ton to arrest Mr.. Frick at present, or do
anything to endanger his life or health. ''We
will not arrest all of them at present" said
he; 1--WE have delayed this matter not be-
cause we doubted our position, but to get
necessary evidence"
1t is probable that information will be
made later against the same persons for con-
spiracy to decrease the wages of workmen
and conspiracy to incite riot by bringing a
force of armed men to Homestead. The at
torneys say the suits were held OF on account
of the shooting of Mr.. Frick. Another rea-
son for delay in serving the warrant against
Frick is that his baby, born some two weeks
ago, Is dead.

Cattle Deals in the senate.

WASHINGTON. D. c., August Mr.. Perkins
called the attention of the senate to letter
published in the Congressional Record con-
corning the deals made for the protection
of cattle on the Cherokee strip, and as to the
payment to one Guthrie for that purpose.
The letter, he said, was written from Medicine
Lodge, Kan, and addressed to Jerry Simp-
son, representative from that state.
Mr.. Perkins denounced the statements Of
the writer as false and malicious, and paid a
high compliment to the character of Secre-
tary Noble, whose conduct was reflected on in
the communication, and to open his diligence
IN the matter of the negotiations to the Cher
okee outlet The publishing of such COM
municatiOn, he declared, to be so reprehensi-
BILE as to deserve public notice.
Mr.. Vest agreed with Mr.. Perkins as to the
high character of Secretary Noble, but as
serted, nevertheless, on the authority of a
highly reputable citizen of Kansas City, Mo-,
that S15, 900 or SIG, 0Oo had been raised and
expended to get the permit extended for the
keeping of cattle in the Cherokee outlet.
He offered a resolution instrnctIng the
committee on Indian affairs (when IN the

eminent was urging the government of Can
ada to hurry the work of deepening the ca
nails through by the end of 1894 that they
may be available for the passage of British
gunboats in the event of their being required

canals of fourteen feet from the head of nav
