Went Both Ways Round the Earth

Went Both Ways Round the Earth.
The astonishing tremors to which
the solid shell Of the earth is subject
are only just beginning to be made
apparent by the delicate instruments
of modern science. 1t is now known
that the effects of earthquakes reach
hundreds and thousands Of miles be-
yOnd the points at which they are
perceptible to the unassisted human
senses. In fact, the shocks Of severe
earthquakes appear in some cases to
be transmitted completely around
the globe.
A remarkable example of this Oc-
CURED on July ., 1889, and has only
recently been brought 10 light
While examining the record OF pen
dulum experiments at POt>dam,
Herr Paschultz happened TO consult 4
volume Of the publications Of the
chronological Society Of Japan, an
association for the study of earth
uuakeS, and was surprised 70 find
that a severe earthquake which had
occurred at kumamatO on the date
above mentioned conceded in time,
allowance being made for transmits
sion of the schock, with double
perturbation which had been noticed
by the pendulum experimcnters al
Potsdam and Wilholmshaven.
The explanation Of the double per
turbatiOn recorded in Germany Is moi
the least interesting part Of the story
1T was interpreted TO mean thatth'
shock in Japan ran both ways rOunt
the globe, and as the perturbation
which travelled westward had
shorter distance TO 20, it arrived al
POtsdam about two hours and thirty
eight minutes sooner than did th'
perturbation which ran round tn,

Several Incidents in Which Are Marked

Young Lanyan. the midshipman
who went down with Admiral lrYon
on the Victoria, was sentimental

the Admiral to the boy.

the midshipmans reply.
The boys loyalty to the Admlral
was pathetic, but it was a barren
display Of affection. The Admiral
was right The lad ought to have
Jumped and made resolute eHort
To save his life. The Admiral hao
weiRhty reasons for preferring to stay
at his post. The midshipman's lie
was flung away from sheer excess OF
sentiment.
Equally wasteful and unjustlfiable
was the zeal Of a New Jersey work
man. who listened to lady's frantic
appeal for the rescueS of her dog,
which was Numbering in a pond. She
fancied that her pet was in extreme
danger. The workman plunged into
the water and swan out to the dog.
There he was suddenly attacked with
cramp and was drowned before the

The workman did not hesitate.
Springing forward, he caught the

riage. But although he lost his life
and brought calamity upon his house

ness and fortitude. The sight of the
sleeping child exposed to Il horrible
death set his warm heart beating

GENERAL d. S. STANLEY. jor general when
retired and had been in command of the
department of Texas since March, 1884.
After leaving Texas he made his home in
New York city, where he was soon elect
ed president of the United Service club.
q social organization for army officers.
General Stanley has had long, hon.
orable and stirring career. As an In
dian fighter before and since the civil
war and as commander of the Fourth
Army corps and the Army of the Cum
berland during those trying days the
records of the war department bear elo-
quent testimony to his bravery. A bare
list of the battles, skirmishes and minor
engagements in which he took part
would more than fill an ordinary news
paper column, and there is room here
but for the briefest biographical data.
The general is native of Ohio and
was born at Wooster, in Wayne county,
June /, 1923. He entered the military
academy at West Point in 1S4S and
graduated in 1869. He became brevet
second lieutenant of the Second dra-
goons and went to the frontier to fight
the Indians. He rose to be captain in the
Fourth cavalry early in 1861, and in
September of that year became brigadier
general in the volunteer service. Two
months later he was made major gener-
al of volunteers. For gallant and meri-
torious services in the battles of Stone
River, Tenn; Resaca, Ga; Ruff's Sta
ton, Ga, and Franklin, Tenn, he
reached successfully the brevet ranks of
lieutenant colonel, colonel, brigadier
general and major general.
After the war he was ordered to Tex
as and thence to Dakota and New Mex
leo, where he had some trouble with his
old friends the Indians, successfully
quelling disturbances among the Nava-
joes and Utes. In 1915 he was detailed
as superintendent of the recruiting serv.

The Fastest and Most Magnificent of All
Private Yachts.
There is much talk of yachts and
yachting In these days, and it does not
require any great intimacy with the
subject to learn that there are yachts
and yachts. But the yacht of yachts, in
size, in luxury and perhaps in speed, is
that newcomer in the yachting world.
w. X. Vanderbilt's magnificent new
steam yacht Valiant, which undoubted-
ly comes nearer to fitting that hackneyed
descriptive phrase, "a veritable floating
palace" than any vessel ever launched
before her. She is larger than any other
private yacht afoat, barring some Of the
so called royal yachts of Europe, which
are really government vessels, and none
even Of these surpasses her in luxurious
fittings and artistic decorations.
Afioat, the Valiant looks more like an
ocean liner than private pleasure craft.
She is 3l2 feet long, 81 feet beam and
has register of 2,400 tons. She is
driven by twin screws, and her engines
have a capacity of 4,500 horsepower,
but she is also full brig rugged and car

HISTORIC WILLIAMS.
PREPARING FOR THE CENTENNIAL
ANNIVERSARY or THE COLLEGE.

Kntercsting and Honorable Record of the
Institution Founded by Ephraim Will
aiams--The Distinguished Services of Dr.
Mark Hopkins.
Oct. o, 1898, will be red letter day in
the history of the picturesque village of
Williamstown, Mass, for it marks the
one hundredth anniversary of the col
lege which has made Williamstown ia
NOUS wherever the influences of scholar
ship and Christianity are felt. Great
preparations are being made for the cele-
bration, and the little community is al
ready in hustle of excitement and an
ticipation. President Cleveland and Govz
ernor Russell are expected to honor the
occasion by their presence, and it goes
without saying that hundreds of the
alumna in all parts of the country will
pay pious pilgrimage totheir alma ma
ter.
1t is to be hoped that in the midst Of
centennial festivities that doughty war
rior, Ephraim Williams, to whose gen.
erosity and foresight the college owes its
existence, will not be forgotten. In 1854
the alumna of Williams testified its
gratitude to its patron by erecting a
rough monument near Lake George on
the spot where, in 1866, he fell in battle.
Ephraim Williams deserves well Of pos
terity. He was patriot in the truest
sense, for though bred to the profession

to be $4,000 a month.
In every particular the vessel is as
handsome and luxurious as it is possible
for talent and money to make her.

The saloon is decorated in white and
gold, with hangings of crimson silk and

TO AMATEUR MUSICIANS.
Some Hints Which, II Followed. VIII BE
Found Quite Advantageous

Some Hints Which, IL Followed. win BE
Found Quite Advantageous
The following is series Of hints to
young singers and would be singers
which have been received from one Of
Boston's well known musicians;
Start under the right instruction. 1t is
far better to begin right in middle life
than wrong in youth.
Study everything carefully, for whats
worth doing at all is worth doing well. :
Cultivate refinement in all things. Tie
tastes, iatlinations and tendencies of the
singer, whether refined or coarse, are un
avoidably made manifest In the inter.
probation of the music she sings.
Keep up with the events of the world
in a general way, but while studying
music live in an atmosphere of music.
Concentration is the secret Of many q
singers success.
Sing everything as the author wrote
it, for one should be as truthful in music
as in history.
Plan your mode of living and hour;
foreating, sleeping and exercising accord
ing to the manner i'm which they affect
your singing.
Throw your whole soul into your sing
ing. Live in the song while you sing it
The sympathy and interest Of an audi
ence are most frequently gained by th'
sincere, soulful and truthful rendering
of selection.
Cultivate animation, warmth Of spiri
and coloring in rendering your songs.
Train yourself to be cool headed ant
collected when singing.
Sing without notes when possible. Yol
can produce better dramatic effects ant
hold your audience better by SO doing.
Don't try to study music. art and sci
ence all at the same time. Select on
| and do that we'll.
Don't think of making music your pro
fession unless you have more than or
| dinary talent for it. The musical pro
/ fession is always crowded with perform
ers, except at the very top, where ther
| is always plenty of room.
Don't think of making music your pre-
fession unless you have plenty of none.
to give yourself the best possible musica
| education. T.
Don't think that training in execution
and technique of the voice only is sui
ficient The professional singer shoul
be perfect reader and well schooled i
counterpoint and harmony.
Don't think the life of successfu
singer is easy. The more successful th
singer the more she becomes slave
her profession.
Don't make practice of humming.
tires the voice.
Don't practice long at time, especia
ly if you are just beginning. It is muc
better to practice little and often.
Don't eat just before singing. A heart
meal several hours before and a ligt
stimulating refreshment just before yo
sing are much better.
Don't drink wine for stimulant.
is not only drying to the throat, but
too strong stimulant. A person need
to be especially self composed when sint
ing.
Don't indulge in manHerisms an
catchy originalities il rendering your s.
i lections. A natural manner and SINGER
singing are much more pleasing and d
sirable. Boston Journal.
