Transmission Of Sound.

The following beautiful experiment,
described by Professor Tyndall, shows
how music may be transmitted by an
ordinary wooden rod.
In room two floors beneath his lee.
ture-room there was piano, upon
which an artist was playing, but the
audience could not hear it. A rod of
deal, with its lower end resting upon
the sounding board of the piano, ex-
tended upward through the two floors,
its upper end being exposed before the
lecture table. But still not sound
was heard. A violin was then placed
upon the end of the rod, which was
thrown into resonance by the ascending
thrills, and instantly the music of tho
piano was given out in the lecture-room.
A guitar and harp were substituted for
the violin, and with the same result
The vibrations of the piano strings were
communicated to the sounding board,
they traversed the long rod, were repro.
duced by the resonant bodies above, the
air was carved into waves, and the
whole musical composition was deliv-
cred to the listening audience.

Misunderstood.

The story goes that man wrote to
the editor of horticultural paper ask
ing what plants would be suitable ad-
ditions to dried grasses for winter orna-
ments. The editor replied
"Acroclinium roseum, A. album, Com.
phrena globosa and G. globosa camea. -
When the man read this he fairly
boiled over with rage, and immediately
sent q note ordering his paper to be dis.
continued. He averred that an editor
who swore in that way, just because he
was asked Q simple question, should
have no support from him.
This reminds US Of an English trav-
eller whose conscience would not allow
him to swear, but who found that at the
hotel in France where he was staying
the walters were so accustomed to hear
ing Englishmen use strong language that
they considered him milksop, and ne
elected him accordingly. He there.

marvellous. He was afterwards waited
upon with the greatest alacrity and as.

that instead Of being opposed to mem
bers of the Cabinet and other promi
nent officials going on the stump, as
had been reported doubtless by or.
der, the President strongly favored
their taking that method of rendering
an account of their stewardship to the
people. Now wasn't that a neat way
of notifying the officials to get up and
hustler 1t had an immediate effect,
and about every official who is OF
sufficient prominence to be listened to
has already made arrangements to take
the stump. 1t is said that Attorney
General Miller who lately stated in a
published interview that he was op-
posed to federal officials making poi.
tical speeches and believed their pro-
per duty was to devote their time to
what they were paid for, has been told
that he must talk no more foolishness
during the campaign. He was ex-
cused for making the "break' because,
as Mr.. Harrison said, "Miller knows
nothing about politics" ="
A new method of working the De-
partment clerks for political contribu-
tons has been put into operation,
which its originators claim is no VIC,
latlon of the Civil Service law The
clerk receives from his state republi-
can association a circular letter asking
him if he has any Suggestion" to
make that will be beneficial to his
party to call at given address, and
when he calls he is politely informed
that he has been assessed five per cent
of his salary, and that he had better
loose no time in handing in the cash.
One of these circulars was sent to a
Missouri democratic clerk, who after
calling and satisfying himself of the
nature of the scheme laid the whole

CHARLOTTE cusHMANs LOVE.

A Romance In the Life of the Great Ac-
tress.
Charlotte Cushman, the actress, was
in love but once in her life. She met,
in Cincinnati, where she was playing,
an actor named Clark, with whom sho
fell in love. Through her efforts Clark
was advanced to leading man in the
company and the course Of true love ran
smoothly. One night the actress met o
strange woman behind the scenes be-
tween the acts. The woman came up to
her and addressed her thus:
You are Charlotte Cushman, the
great actress. Haven't You got enough
men to admire you without coming be-
tween man and wife and robbin' me Of

Your husband ?" cried Miss Cush-
man, getting excited.
Yes, and you have taken or you are

the ragged woman, looking Miss Cush-
man full in the face.
"Who is your husband p
Conrad Clark, replied the woman,

half-starved, thin little child in her
arms.
Miss Cushman started as If she had
been shot. She went through her part
that night as usual-acted it splendidly

the performance, she sent for Clark to
come to her room. Clark knocked and
then opened the door. She brought
forward to him his wife and baby who
had been waiting in the dressing-room
to receive him. Such reception!
Charlotte Cushman never looked or

The Largest in the World,
A COLLIERY THAT WILL EMPLOY 1900
MEN. ITS OUTPUT 5000 TONS DAILY.

MEN, llS W lOl OOSO IONo bALLi'
The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal
company's breaker now in course of
construction at South Wilkesbarre,
will, when completed, be the biggest
Thing of its kind in the world. 1t will
employ 1900 men and boys, and have
daily output of 5000 tons.
The great structure contains 10 less
than 500, 900 feet of lumber. All
the machinery, rolls, screens, etc, are
cased with dust proof covering 10 car
ry off all dust to a I7-foot fan, which
will discharge all dust into box. The
steam pipes will exhaust condensed
steam into the box, so that not a par
ticle of dust will annoy the residents
Of the locality. This is the most Gre
dible part of the work, and reflects
credit on all concerned. 1t will GER
tainly be much appreciated.
The shaft at this breaker is very
gaseous one and two men are always
employed to combat the gas. The
utmost precautions have been taken
against ire, and double lines of water
pipes are laid in each working plan,
so that if one fails the other may be
used. This shaft is very deep-I.Ioo
feet, and the tremendous pressure of
water some times breaks the pipe.
The breakers top is $40 feet from
the ground. Steps wind everywhere,
and safety guards are placed at all
points. On the roof there is SEQ
square feet of asbestos roofing used
There are 400 windows. No mules
will be used on the outside work.
Along the net work of tracks the cars
will be run by gravity.
The hosting engines are the largest
in the world There is a main fan az
feet in diameter that makes forty re-
volutions a minute, with an auxiliary
fan 20 feet in diameter, 100 revolu-
tons per minute. There will be a
shaft begun for a third fan in January.
Th. breaker will start in December
or on January. /.

stance, when, after we had been for
weeks without fresh vegetables of any
sort, there was issued to the regiment o
ration of potatoes. 1t so happened
that on the same day the sutler had on
ions. There were in our tent four men.
We got the company cook to give us
our rations of potatoes and of salt pork
uncooked, and we bought onions of the
sutler. We had at that time an old
saucepan that one of us had picked up
somewhere. We got out the saucepan
and cut up the pork and boiled it until
it was about half done. Then we put in
the onions, and then the potatoes,
which We had cut up into large pieces
as nearly as possible uniform in size, so
that they would all be done at the same
time.
While one man looked after the fire
another attended to the cooking. The
other two sat on the ground and ap-
plauded-that is, they shifted the air
whenever the lid was taken off the
saucepan and looked at each other and
at the two mon by the fire and smiled.
when the stew was nearly done we
put in few hardtack to soften, and
when after formal inspection by each
man it had been officially declared done,
the cook lifted the saucepan from the
fire and set it on the ground. The two
men who had had the least to do had
been holding their plates and spoons
for fifteen minutes.

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 1892.
The republican complaint of a
lack OF campaign Doodle is made for
no other porpose than to deceive.
They have today larger fund at the
disposal of their national committee
than was used by them in the cam
paign of 1888. This is no hearsay or
guessing, but an obsolute fact
Finding themselves SO well fixed for
cash, the republican national com
mittee appointed Mr.. l.. 7. Michener,
of Indiana, who is Col. w. w. Dudley's
law partner, in this city, confidential
financial agent for the Western states
that are considered doubtful, with in
structions to spend any amount that
he may after personal investigation
consider necessary to keep those
states in the republican column, Mr.
Michener is now making that person
al investigation, giving his first atten-
ton to his own state about which the
republicans are very much alarmed
MIR. Harrison knows from exper-
ience the value of having few good
offices to dangle in front of the
political workers of his party, there
fore no one was surprised when he
officially announced that none of the
numerous existing vacancies would be
filed until after election. He wishes
the impression to 60 out that the
men who do the most telling work for
him will have the pick of these places
Among the most desirable vacancies
are an Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury; first Assistant Post
Master General; a Commissioner of
the General Land Office, and a seat
ON the bench Of the Supreme Court
District of Columbia.
The fall season of the U. S.
Supreme Court opened today. The
only business transacted was the
swearing in of the new member,
Justice Shiras. of Pennsylvania, and
the official call of the Court on the
President.
With all his faults, and they are

Pension Office, and he is showing his
gratitude by leaving his official desk
and going upon the stump. This
week the Commissioner will endeavor
to get in some fine work for Har-
rison at the encampment of the
Union Veteran legion, at Indiana
polls. He will then go to Illinois,
where he is supposed to have some
influence with the soldier vote, and
make all sorts of promises to those
who want to get on the pension roll
as well as to those already on the roll
who are applicants for an increase in
pension.

Two hours later Archie stood with the
pretty maiden by the flowers in the par.
lor of her pretty home. The guests
were seated. The minister rose
Archics failing and Johns prediction
were known to them all. Nevertheless
Archie knew he should not be late nov,
for his dear old mother had made oil
the guests promise not to precede him
in kissing the bride.
The solemn vows we're said softly and
the fervent prayer was spoken slowly,
while robin could be heard singing on
the lawn.
Amen" said the minister.
Archie bowed to kiss the bride, but
he paused for an instant; he smiled, he
blushed. A sunbeam stealing through
a rift in the heavy curtains was trem-
bling gently on the brides lips.
