CENTRAL BUSINESS COLLE6E
Celebrates Its Ninth Anniver.
Sary.

The ninth anniversary of Central
Business college was celebrated last
night.
The exercises were unique and high
ly enjoyable.
1t was half past eight when
President Robbins gracefully
mounted the platform and
announced that Rev. j. s. Myers,
pastor of the Christian church, would
entertain the audience with speech.
And he did entertain the audience,
improvised though his remarks were.
He spoke ON failures and in a mas
terly way showed wherein
they strengthened rather than
weakened, aided rather than
impeded the man bent on realiz.
ing an object in life. He cited
numerous historic examples illustra-
tive Of this principle and concluded
with the inspiring statement that con-
tran J to being an indication Of how
the agents life would consummate,
failures rather fortified him 70 with
stand future defeats and gave him q
better insight into the Solonic philoso-
ply: "Know thy self"
The next person who proved .
source of delight TO the audience was
Miss Helen Gallie, who sang . solo.
1t lie needless to say that she more
than sustained her reputation a. .
superior vocalist.
Miss GalIie is peculiarly gifted
with that volume of voice that
enables her to reach with ease certain
pitches wholly beyond the power Of
many excellent singers.
1t was Immediately after the crowd
ed room had ceased to ring with vocal
melody that Mr.. j. Il. Thomas
favored the house with Q humorous
selection. He is splendid
impersonator and the fact that he was
appreciated was attested by the re-
pea,ed encores he received.
Hon. G. w. Barnett was then in
troduced amidst applause.
He too made splendid speech, 90
superior indeed that the BAzOo man
was iuclined to think that it was .
"cut AMI dried" affair, till informed
differently by the gentleman himself
Incidentally he gave . brief, hist0ri-
csl resume of the institu-
ton sud paid deserved
compliments and encomiums to
its Efficient president. "Nine years
ago." said Mr.. Barrett, Central
Business college was an infant, strug-
Cling for an existence. Now it 10
known throughout the state for the
high standard Of its work and is e.
t.blished on a. basis that enables
it 10 challenge comparison with aoy
institu ion Of its kind in the west"
Following this excellent address.
Miss Gallie, after being earnestly
solicited sang Sewsnee River. She
was enthusiastically applauded but
refused to desert her chair again till
President Robbins went to her in
person and b sought her to "sing just
once more"
With reluctance she advanced to
the piano. President Robbins in the
meantime remarking aside to the
au Hence "this one is for me"
Imagine the embarrassment 10
which he was subjected when The
witty songstres swept the worries DER
with dexterous digits and sang one
stsnza Of "Swing Robins Swing &c. "
Amidst vociferous and other ex-
pressions of enthusiasm, the presi-
dent with cheeks sufiused with bushes
abruptly stated that, "here Is a good
place to adj ,urn." And it was 30.

IN VIENNA.

What Is Required to Be Able to Move
in Viennese Society.
AS Vienna society consists, with scarcely
an exception. only of the persons who ap-
pear at court, it often happens that man
mixes, night after night with people who
refuse to see his wife and daughters, many
of whom, according TO non Austrian ideas,
are ladies OF excellent birth and breeding.
When ladies vino have no personal rank
do mix in society they must have social
talents Of a high order if they are
to win positions" for themselves. The
outsider who, in q process of time, Is not
only tolerated but welcome, owes her sue
cess TO the tact with which she asSimiates
herself 10 current ideas. to stern repression
of her own. to an accurate study of the
Almanach de Gotha and of the GrafcheS
AlmaDach, and 10 q strict avoidance of the
faintest assumption of mental superiority.
OF course we are speaking of popularity in
society. not of the formation of personal
friendships within its pale, which is quite
another thing. There really are patTicians
glad to meet with independent IDEAS orig
inal thought and wide sympathies in the
native or the foreign outsider"
The eXClusiNeneSs of Vienna society is
not altogether due to pride. 1t is partly
the result of clannishness in large families.
Vienna society Is comparatively small, for
there are other centers of "adlge gesell-
sehaft' in Austria-Prague, Gratz, Salz-
burg, for eXample-which attract the poorer
members of the nobility. All those present
in a salon must know each other, and it is
considered rude for newcomer not to
have himself or herself introduced to every
person of equal or higher position
unless at very large gatherings.
The Viennese themselves have known
each other from early childhood, and are on
terms of easy familiarity. They often tu-
foyer each other, and call each other by
their Christian names, and even by des
petits mons, such as Rudi for Rudolph and
Peppi dor Josephine); they know the Sins
and outs" of each others lives; lis Sc COM
prenent a demi mot, as the French say
they have the same habits of thought, tastes
and interests, and they neither understand
nor care much for what happens in the great
world beyond their own enchanted circle

The Papermaker reminds its readers that
in the international exhibition of 1891
specimen OF iron paper was shown. This
led 10 some competition among ironmasters
as TO the thnness TO which cold iron could
be rolled. One maker produced a sheet
of paper so thin that 1900 LAYERS Of
it piled upon one another measured
only one inch in thickness. The fine
ness of the iron foil referred to may
be understood when it is remembered that
1900 sheets of the thinnest tissue paper ar
ranged in the Same manner measure a fTac-
ton more than one inch in thickness The
iron paper was perfectly smooth and easy
to write upon, but when held up to the
light 1t was porous. We are not aware of
any practical use to which iron paper could
be put, for, owing to its liability to rust, it
would be far inferior to the paper that we
are accustomed to.-Chambers' Journal.

The Howell fish torpedO-named from its
inventor, Captain John A. Howell, L. s. n.
is an Improvement upon the Whitehead,
which it closely resembles, inasmuch as its
motive power is greater. They are both
known as the uncomfortable, as the prOjectlle
receives is direction in the firing tube, and
has no connection with the sender. The
torpedo is divided into several compartments,
which contain the explosive and the motive
machinery. The latter is run by compressed
air, which prOpels the torpedo a system
of rudders in vertical plane permanently set
before starting keeps the projectile in a
straight course.
The difficult feat Of keeping the torpedo
at the right distance below the surface Of
the water has been overcome by double

The Melody the Rain Dancing On tho
Stones Not Yet Reproduced.
The bass of thunder is considerably lower
than tie lowest sound produced in an or
chestra-below the zero Of music, we may
call it, at which all positive apprehension Of
musical sound ceases, and our senses are
merely conscious Of a roar. In observing
the music of thunder our attention, how
ever, may be most pT0ftably directed to the
expression rather than to the notes. The
musical diminuendo is more Perfectly rep
resented by thunder than by any other form
of sound in nature. After the first clan is
over. the ear will pursue with plea uTe the
rolling away aud gradual faintlng OF the
peal. until at Unreasonable distance it sinks
into silence.
The melody Of rain dancing on the stones.
or pelting down IL its FIRST drops on the dry
soil Of a forest or a heath, is species Of
sound which the art OF music has yet to lmI-
tate if it would complete its at present very
incomplete list OF Instruments. The meXl-
cans had some TattleS made OF very peculiar
clay, with pipes inside, which were Intended
10 represent this sound. Certain tribes OF
the North American Indians have been 81 NJ
ilarly fascinated by the loud plasn Of water,
to the beauty Of which We have alluded be-
fore. They have instruments Ccnstructeda e-
cOTdingly with a view TO reproduce tGis
sound. Large buffalo hides are filled with
water and sewn up in the manner OF wine
bags DTumstiekS Of cork, or with
their heads covered by very fine gum, are
welded by the player, and the gentle and
monOtonOUs plash Of water IS produced by
the drumstick striking softly On the skin.
The natives Will sit and listen 10 these IN
stTuments for hours.
Certain tribes on the Amazon have in q
similar way been fascinated by the music
Of the waterfall. Musical instruments were
found in use among them consisting of a
complicated mechanism by which water
was poured from one bowl into another, in
imitation OF the cascade, and then returned
by the receiving bowl into the vessel which
had poured it; so that by a repetition of
this mechanism a constant murmur of a
cascade could be kept up so long as the
audience desired or the player was able to
perform it-GOOd Words

A MAIDEN SMILED.

Her leaving me to pine thus and to live
With trusting faith, midst loneful misery
Caused by that smile. Yet I'd not have pain fiv
Though uaught seems as before, ere / had seen

The latest Improvement in the self-acting
mines is that OF making connection with the
shore station. The shock of the passing
vessel instead of firing the mine is COM
municated to the shore and rings little
bell. Tie observer now knows shat his
torpedo is in contact with something, and
uses his discretion whether to close the cir
cult or not. If it be an enemy's vessel her
doom is sealed if one of our own or that of
a neutral she may pass on in peace. The
metallic case that forms the mine contains
charge of dynamite varying from $50
to 200 pounds. Tiers IS another method
known as counter mining or the placing
of torpedoeS in a channel. The explosion
of these IN the neighborhOod OF any other
tOrpedoes fires them all by conclusion.
