Machine Made Music.

Pneumatic Machine Made Music,
An interesting arrangement of pneu-
matte mechanism for the production
OF high-class music has recently been
exhibited. The instrument has two
one-ftth sets of reeds, the regular &C.
ton Of the air grooves being located
above, and on top Of the board con.
tanning these is a row of small pneu.
MATES correspondence number to the
keys OF the instrument; underneath
this board are four rows of large
pneumatics, one beneath the other,
and from an arm on each OF these
pneumatics hangs q wire attached to
a lever operating on the coupler.but-
toneson the pitmans or wooden rods
connecting the keys Of the instrument
with the reed board valves. By means
Of these levers, operated by pneu-
matics, the movement Of. the valves
becomes automatic, subject to the
passage over Of the airboard of per-
forated paper. A peculiar character
istic of the motor which operates the
music, which distinguishes it from all
other appliances of the kind, is its
adaptability for running to the right
to wind music and the left to rewind,
or wise versa. When the instrument
is in operation the keyboard becomes
o thing of life, keys dropping with the
e4nct rapidity required by the selec.
ton rendered.

FRIDAY, AUGUST s.

there was a patient waiting for a message
from the house. The senate soon, on mo

with the Worlds Fair bill: After the doors
were reopened it was laid before tfc cate

discussion it was agreed to.
A message was received from the house
that they had agreed to the conference re-
port on the sundry civil bill. The conf.r-
ence report was then laid before the senate
and agreed to.
Remarks were made by Senators Man
derson, Allison, German and otherso utlin-

by the senate.
The vice-president Their in q short speech
complimenting the senators OF their at

Ingenious methoa Of Rope Climbing.

A valuable practical device is that
which has lately been brought to
notice by q French inventor, designed
to facilitate rope climbing. while at
the same time permitting the climber
to have free use OF his hands. The
apparatus consists of two boards.
Joined by a hinge, with q hole passing
through both the hinge and the boards,
and the extremities OF the latter pro-
vided with straps, which can be
fastened to the feet OF the man using
the apparatus. The method of climb-
ing involved in this arrangement is
simple. When the feet ATTACHED to
the boards are lifted the rope is free,
but the moment the feet are pressed
down on the boards the rope is firmly
gripped. 1t is only necessary, there
fore, to lift the body by both hands
as far as possible, and it can then be
held by the hinged clamps until
another lift is made. By the use of q
belt to hold the body close to the
rope the hands may be left free. The
devise, which is claimed to fulfill its
purpose admirably, is designed
especially for the use OF firemen and
painters, also to serve as a fire escape.

HUNTED FOR HIS COAT.

The Intelligent Sea Otter Fast Die
A marine animal Of greater value
than the fur seal is being rapidly ex-
terminated in Boring sea and in the
waters along the northwest coast,
owing to a long.continued neglect by
the treasury department at Washing
ton to enforce existing laws for its
protection. As a result, the Pitts
burg Dispatch says, this government
is likely to have to undertake the
support of several hundred natives
on the western islands OF the Aleutian
chain who have hitherto depended on
the chase of the sea otter for their
living. The final destruction OF this
interesting beast signifies the reduction
of the population in that region to
absolute savagery and eve to
starvation. Already the formerly
prosperous inhabitants OF certain
villages have been brought to such
extremities as to be Obliged to subsist
on seaweed. The fur OF the sea otter
is the most beautiful and most costly
of all peltries. It has as fixed q
value in the market to-day az any OF
the precious metals, q prime skin being
worth $3.50, while an exceptionally
good one will sometimes fetch as much
as $3.50. From the earliest times it
has commanded as high a price as to-
day. The Japanese priced it above
all other materials for garments as
long ago as 1000 years before the dis.
covery Of America by Columbus. and
mighty tycoons clothed themselves
with its shimmering velvet.
Geographical discovery in the north
ern Pacific was originally due in a
great to the incentive offered
BY the demand for the coat of this
prosecuted creature. When the Rus
slams first opened up the Aleutian
islands and the Hudson bay traders
secured the coasts OF Puget sound and
Oregon they found the natives COM
monty wearing sea otter cloaks, with
which they parted for a trife, not
valuing them equally with the hair
seal or the sea lion, the esh and skins
of the latter being more palatable and
made hunting for SEQ otter brisk and
more than 10000 persons were
annually engaged in pursuit OF the
animal from l741 to le45, when
their numbers were SO far reduced as
to render the industry on such a scale
no longer remunerative. Some notion
may be got OF their original plentiful
ness from the fact that in the year
1904 a single vessel carried to Russia

The Most Curious Case.

Perhaps the most curious salvage
case on record is that of the ship
Two Friends, which stranded ON the
Coast of Cuba and was abandoned by
her crew. Another ship, the John
Blake, met q similar fate, and her
crew in attempting to find a landing
place, came across the Two Friends,
which they managed to get off and to
navigate to England without further
mishap. The Judge who tried the case
decided that salvage services had been
rendered, but ofonly ordinary Difficult.
ty and merit, inasrhuch as the crew OF
the John Blake saved the Two Friends
in order to save their own lives. The
owners of the John Blake of course
got nothing, but the s%alving crew re:
ceived 1850 out ofthe total value OF
FL. 237-New Orleans Picayune.
