SOUNDS WE MAY NOT HEAR.
Animals Hear Noises Which Are
Inaudible to Human Beings.

ANIMALS Hear Noises Which Are
Inaudible to Human Beings.
Chambers Journal.
Animals may hear sounds that are in
audible to us. Certainly the sounds that
give the keenest pleasure to many ami
mals-cats, for example are seldom
capable of giving pleasure to us. We
know, of course, that sounds may be too
low or too high that is. the vibrations
may be too slow or too rapid-to be
audible to the human ear; but it does
not follow that they are equally inaudi-
bic to differently tuned ears.
The limits of audible sound are not
inVariable even in the human ear;
women can usually hear higher sounds
than men, and the two ears are not, as
a rule, equally keen. A sound may be
quite lnaudlble to one person, and
plainly heard by another. Prof. Lloyd
Morgan mentions as an instance of this
a case i'll which the piping of some frogs
In Africa was so loud to him as almost
to drown his friends voice, but Of which
his friend heard absolutely nothing
The same thing may be observed by
any one possessing the little instrument
known as Cations whistle. The sound
made by the whistle can be made more
and more shrill, until at last it ceases to
be heard at all by most persons. Some
can still hear it.; but by raising the
sound still higher even they cease TO
hear. The sound is still being made
that Is, the whistle is causing the air
still to viDrate. but so rapidly that our
ears no longer recognize it, though the
existence of these inaudlbIe vibrations
Is detected by sensitive fame" as
was first shown by Prof. Barrett in 1877.

FINANCIAL.
New York.

New YORK, Feb. 11.-Trading in
stocks today was OH very moderate
scale, and again and even more than
usual of late was of a professional char
acter. The bears were inclined to take
tie bull side on the expected issue of
bonds by the secretary Of the treasury,
and the rumorS that the decided action
was to be taken to relieve the situation
aided in opening the market strong,
with some help from foreign buying
orders and bullish advices from
London. Investigation. however. failed
to find any foundation for the ru-
mors in regard to the bond
issue and selling for the short account
good deal of talk about reported cut
in coal prices, and Reading was made
active at declining prices, but Delaware
& Hudson was the only coal stock to
show final loss of importance, being
down per cent at 1925. The lumOrs
in DistillcrS' were of decidedly unfa-
vorable nature, but Lead and Cotton Oil
were set down for dividends in the near
future, the latter responding to this
talk, but Lead retired over per cent,
while Distillers' yielded about the same
amount.
The general expectation of bad bank
statement was not finally realized, and
the loss to the surplus reserve was
found to be only a little over million.
This put an end to the talk of dearer
money. as we'll as to the short selling
for the time being, and the remainder
of the session was consumed In an effort
to recover the stocks put out earlier in
the day. Substantial rallies were made
all along the line, and Distillers' rose
TX per cent from its lowest figure, clos
ing with net gain of II per cent. The
nearest approaches to this advance were
Is per cent in Cotton Oil and q per
cent in New England. The most
prominent feature of the market, how =
ever, was the sharp slump in American
Tobacco, followed by even more de-
cided rally. 1t is said that the great
majority of the assets are in trade
marks and patents, which were paid for
in the stock, and that the sharp compe-
tition now being met from the National
Cigarette company has been very eX-
penSive to the trust. The drive at the
stock depressed it quickly from 10915 to
104, but it was lifted suddenly to 112
in the late dealings, from which it re-
tired to 1927 at the close. Other changes
were not of special moment, being IL
regular and for small fractions only.
The Post says: 'The general condi-
lions concerning the stock market are
still interpreted as unfavorable, and
there is a dearth of bull influences.
These conditions are mostly of a,monet-
ary nature. The shipment of gold. the
increasing firmness of exchange and
the meager supply of commercial bills
are all unfavorable factors. This lack
commercial bills has in measure been
offset by the shipment of bonds abroad,
but there is growing uneasiness as to
the adverse action of the silver repeal
bill will be viewed abroad. The action
of the banks in the matter of offering
gold to the subtreasury still fails to
bring relief

growth start up, than it is to see the
standard of our citizenship debased and
the standard of living and of wages of
American workingmen lowered.
How to Check IMmi grafton.
AS for how this is to be done, l think
there are several methods, all of which
should be adopted. In the first place.
the existing regulations against paupers,
criminals, MormOnS, anarchists and the
like should be rigldly enforced, and
should be made more stringent when
necessary. In the next place, there
should be some system Of consular certi-
fcation in the countries from which the
Immigrants come. We should require
certificate that they are men of good
character. that they are in SOUND bodily
strength, that they are not illiterate and
that they are able to do good work.
Finally, we should strike at the great
root of the evil, and that is at the steam
ship companies. The interests of the
steamship companies are dramatically
opposed to the interests of the United
States in this matter. They want to
carry here as many immigrantseas pos
sible, under the loosest possible reStric-
tions. Their self-interest inclines them
to take every man Offering himself, no
matter how desperate criminal or how
abject pauper, so long as he can pay
his passage money. They stimulate an
unhealthy immigration by means Of
agents and prospectuses, who do every
thing to lure hither Europeans, and
now even Aslatics, who, when they get
here, find that they have nothing to do.
A Head Tax ON Immigrants.
believe that we should have head
taX-not merely nominal, but heavy
enough to count-payable by the steam
ship companies for every immigrant
landed, and / should limit the number
OF immigrants that could be carried by
any one vessel, and should insist upon
an ample minimum quantity of space
for each immigrant. Make it the inter
est of the steamships to carry decent
people hither, to carry people who will
be fitted to become good citizens, who
have been thrifty in their old homes
and will be thrifty in their new, and
who will not swarm like rats into GER
tain trades, driving out every respect
able mechanic or workman who has
higher standard of living than their
own.
Americans, One and All.
To sum up, believe emphatically
that here in America every citizen is
bound to be an American, and to be
nothing else. We have no room III this
country. broad though it is, for any
man who retains his allegiance to for
eign power or to foreign ideals; and
we have right to insist not only that
the man who is here should be an
American pure and simple, but that
hereafter no man shall be admitted who
is not himself fit ultimately to acquire
the rights and exercise the duties of
American citizenship. 1t is our bound
Ell duty to take every measure to see
that the standard of the national char
acter is raised, and not lowered; we
have a right to insist upon the Ameri-
canism of those citizens who are already
here, and upon the capacity of Ameri-
canlZation of those seeking to come here
to acquire citizenship.

The True Type of Prosperity.

We must try our best to see that this
country proSperS. and we have no bust
ness to wrong the children and grand
children of the Americans of the pres
ent day for the sake of petty theory.
In the interests of our own descendants
we must keep the standard of citizen
ship in this country high, and to lower
it by the admission of promiscuous i'm
migration of any unworthy kind is mere
criminal folly. And then again. we
shall have to face the fact that certain
number of our fellow citizens of foreign
birth will regard the movement as being
one in the direction of ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
This it assuredly is not. 1t is really, in
all probability, more in the interests of
American citizens of foreign birth than
any others, for it IS to prevent undue
croWding in those very trades and occu-
pations which contain the greatest pro-
portion of those same foreign-born citi-
Zens.
AS for the man who wants to sell
lands, who wants to build railroads, who
wants to see 'boom" towns spring up
and the population of every district in
creased at an abnormal, instead of a
normal and healthy ratio. we can only
say that though it pays to build fast, it
pays even better to build safely, and
that we had far rather see the country
grow slower than see it grow in all I'M
healthy manner. 1t is much better that
we should have a few thousand miles of
railroad less built in the next decade,
some scores of mines fewer open and a
less number Of towns OF mushroom

The Friends of Cheap Labor.

We may as well make up our minds at
the outset to the fact than when we try
to see this wrong righted we shall be
met with bitter opposition, and that. Gu
riously enough,we may be opposed even
by a few of those whose interests are
most imperiled by the present unre-
stricted immigration, The great manu-
facturers, miners and railroad contract
ors, who want to see cheap labor, will
be against us. So will be all those who
have land to sell and who care more for
their pockets than for the future of the
community in which their children are
to grow up, and in the new states the
citizens of the "boom" towns and the
editors of the boom" newspapers will
cry out against any measure for the
ultimate good of the country which may
seem to interfere with the temporary
and fictitious prosperity of places which
have no real and healthy foundation on
which to rest; and, moreover. great
many honest people will feel reluctant
to admit the proposition that we should
refuse to give asylum to any one. 10
the last all that can be said IS that the
highest duty of nation is self-preser-

The Voorhees, Bill.

Not only will Mr.. VooRHEEs's bill, IL it
becomes law, allow the existing banks to
issue. as is estimated, ninsteen millions OF
dollars more OF currency than they have
out. but 1t will be the occasion of the
opening of new banks all over the country
provided the national bonds to secure cir
culation can DO obtained at prices which
will enable the banks TO make reasona-
bic profit.
We favor every proposition to provide
for more currency, but it must be the best
sort of currency. We need more cur
reney-nobody can tell how much more in
times of panIc-but surely 1t would be the
extreme of folly to provide for poor cur
rency when it is just as easy to provide for
a good currency. Persons who advocate
a currency that will not be acceptable in
commercial circles have strange notions
on this snbject-strange If for no other
reason, because they are the most strenu-
Gus Of the advocates of good money. Even
silver is not good enough for them.

The Deposltors' Panic.

"a rich mans panic" lie would have

that 1t was depositors' panic. All none
tary panics are occsaoned by want of
confidence on the part OF the depositors
IN the safety and security Of the banks in
which their money is deposited. Their
alarm induces them TO withdraw their
money from the banks and hide il away,
where they can al all times lay their hands
upon II. The channels OF commerce are
thus deprived Of the currency which is

a Sherman soheme Revived.

Mr.. HoKE SMITH's proposition TO put
enough SILVER in the silver dollar to make
il worth dollar in gold is so far identical
with one that was made III the United
State Senate years ago (and more than
once, We Think by Senator SHrRNAN, of
Ohio. Mr.. BRYAN. OF Nebraska. explained
IN the House of Representatives on Wed
nesday why this belated proposition
would not be accepted by the friends of
free coinage. Mr. Smith is handicapped
by the fact that be is in Mr.. CLEvELAYD's
cabinet.
If 1t oe true that Mr.. CLEVELAND would
sign bill providing for the free coinage of
silver 20 10 |, then be must be prepared to
surrender the proposition upon which oil
the goldolators have hitherto stood that
silver and gold cannot be kept at a parity
by congressional legislation unless the
ratio of coinage be changed from day TO
day to meet the rise and fall in the price of
the silver bullion.
This would be q wonderful concession
for Mr.. CLEVELAND to make, and We do
not believe that he has agreed TO make il.
IL is not OF all likely that even If he had
changed his opinion on the silver question
he would select HoKB SMITH or HOSE
SMITHS paper to break the news TO the
public.
