Professor Hermann has succeeded in
photographing the vowel sounds by speak
ing them into a phonograph, which re-
produced them slowly. The vibrations
were recorded by a microtelephone,
which had small mirror in the vibrat-

the mirror recorded its vibrations-that
is to say, the vibrations Of the vowel
sounds-on a travelling band of sensitized
paper.-Chicago Herald.

1.-THE present financial depression were
the result solely or chiefly of the sher-
man silver law. as our Democratic and
Mugwump contemporaries are fond of
arguing, one would have supposed that
the calling Of the special session
coupled with the strong probability tina.
the law will be repealed, would have
gone far to make money easy and stop
business failures. If there ale indica-
tions that 1T has had any such effect they
are too feeble to bel. detected by the or
binary vision. The money market ap-
pears to continue to be as tight as ever.
and the list~of failures that comes daily
from the West grows. no shorter. The
truth is that the Sherman law has very
little to do with the present situation.
Uncertainty as to Democratic intentions
In regard to tie tariff Is much more
important fas,sor. Undoubtedly, too, the
great prosperity which we have been en-
Joylng for many years has had some
thing to do with it, by producing a state
OF over-cenfidence and consequent reck-
loss investment in enterprises that were
premature or speculative.

1t is undoubtedly right and proper to
confine pensions within the limits speci-
fed in the laws. But sometimes laws

Interpretation; and the Interpretation
they get depends very much on the pre-
conceived opinions or prejudices of the
man whose business It'll to interpret and
administer them. We are not going to
intimate that the Hon. Hoke Smith. Sec
Rotary Of the Interior, would deliberately
misinterpret any of the pension laws.
But Mr.. Smith is Southernel, and the
idea of paying men for their services in
subdning him and his Southern brethren
isprnbably not altogether pleasing. In
Short Mr.. Smith is likely to entertain a
prejudice against Union veterans of a
character which will inot influence him
to give them the benefit Of any ambiguity
in the pension laws but quite the reverse.
A Southern Democrat for the head of til.

the pensions of Union veterans was not
a happy one.

time reason may be trusted to reassert
itself and then they will realize how. un-
founded and how foolish are their asser-
tons that they are the victims of a con-
spiracy concocted in the East by the
''gold bugs" and aided and abetted by
other gold bugs across the water.
The decline of silver which has pre-
cipilated the calamity that is upon them
results from causes which the "gold
bugs" of Wall street have had no
control over. 1t has come while
the laws are exceedingly favora-
BILE for the silver interest. 1t has come
right in the face of a pending attempt on
the part of our government to arrange
with foreign nations an agreement by
which silver might have with all of them
clear and recognized standing as cur.
rency equal with gold. Under these cir
cumstances to talk about the decline as
the result of the Vaccinations of the
bankers and gold bugs of the East is
sheer nonsense, and indicates that tbs
men who make it are net in their sober
senses. The decline of silver is great
calamity to Colorado and the other
silver producing states. 1t prostrates
suddenly and wi.h slight warming one of
the greatest industries Of those common
wealths. Yet It's not an exceptional
calan ity. The farmers of the West
within few years have felt the effect of
sharp decline in their products. The
agricultural states of that section have felt
the depression which has new overtalken
the mineral producing states. When
this depression was at its height there
were the same appeals to the government
for help, the same rawlings against the
East that are now coming from the silver
states. On the strength of this depres-
sion largely was built up the Populist
party and its programme oflstate social
ism. The government refused to accede
to the demands of the agricultural class
es. 1t refused to loan money on the
crops. 1t refused to set up as paternal
institution for the benefit of the farmers.
The appeal of the silver states is no more
meritorious than that of the arricuf-
tural states. In some respects it is less
so. The silver states therefore can hard
ly expect the Congress of the United
States to legislate specially for their re-
lief. The recovery of the silver industry
like that of the agricultural industry
must be left chiefly to the operation of
natural forces.

THURSDAY. JULY Is.

II storehouses are filled to over
flowing with boots and shoes which
cannot be disposed of it is pretty good
sign that the people have all the boots
and shoes they need, and the intelligent
manufacturer, regards it as direction to
him to decrease production until the
demand has caughtup with the supply.
When the treasury of the United States
is filled as it now is with silver dollars,
which cannot be forced into circulation.
the natural inference would seem to be
that our silver coinage has been greatly
in excess Of the peoples wants or needs,
and that the proper thing to do is to
diminish the rate or stop it altogether
until the dollars we already have are
disposed of. Today there are 100000
silver dollars stored in the treasury
vaults which cannot be forced even into
circulation. Under these circumstances
the proposition to revive the Bland law
and increase the rate of silver coinage
would seem on its face to be absurd.

MEDICAL TESTIMONY.

W. Thornton Parker, M. d., Recorder, Asso-
citation of Acting Assistant Surgeons of the U.
S. Army, writes:
"SALENI, MASS, March %, 1891.
s'When at Stuttgart, Germany, during the win
ter of 1882 I was suffering from severe
attack of bronchitis, which seemed to threaten
pneumonia. I met at the Hotel Marqnardt
Commander Beardsley, OF the United States
Navy. In speaking of my sickness, he re-
marked: Doctor, you can cure that chest
trouble of yours by using an ALLCoCK's Po-
RoUs PLASTER That may be true,' an
swered, but where can get the plaster?
Anywhere in the civilized world, and surely
here in Stuttgart, Whenever have a cold I
always use one and find relief, sent to the
drug store for the plaster and it did all that my
friend had promised Ever since then have
used it whenever suffering from a cold, and
have many times prescribed it for patients.
1.-THE ALLCoCK's PLASTER is the best to be
had, and has saved many from severe illness,
and undoubtedly. if used promptly, will save
many valuable lives. Whenever one has Sc
we're cold they should put ON an ALLcooK's
PLASTER as soon as possible. 1t should be
placed across thelchest, the upper margin just
below the neck; some hot beef tea or milk, will
aid in the treatment.
