Sounds Too Fine For Human Ears.

The statement is often made that
there are probably sounds in nature
too acute to be distinguished by the
human ear, but which may be per
fectly clear to the auditory sense of
other members of the animal king
dom.
Attention has been called at a
meeting of the British chronological
society to very interesting case in
point. According to DIR. Sharp, ants
have the most perfect sound pro-
ducing organs that have yet been
discovered in insects.
These are situated upon certain
segments of the abdomen of some
species of ants examined by him, the
sounds being produced by rubbing.
But DR. Sharp has not heard these
ant voices, nor has anybody else, al
though he is convinced of their ex-
istence. The sounds are too delicate
for our gross ears.
An attempt was made to hear
them with the aid of the microphone,
but the only sound detected was that
produced by the ants in crawling

Captain Jack Grotty Injured.

A letter was received in Austin yes
terday from Mrs. John Crotty which
announced a painful injury to her
husband, captain jack" who is so
well known to the people of this city.
1t seems that about 10 days ago Cap.
tain Jack left Galveston for Velasco
for a 10 days fishing trip. In attempt
ing to make a landing at the last
place he slipped and fell, falling a
distance of 10 feet, striking on his
right arm and side. At first it was
thought his arm was broken, but
which atterward proved not to be the
case. He returned home and, trust.
ing to the strength of his magnificent
physique, was imprudent and took a
cold bath. AS result his right lung
seemed to become affected, swelling
considerably and causing him great
deal pain. He is now confined to his
bed. Captain Jack, THE STATESMAN
extends to you the best wishes of the
citizens of Austin for your speedy re-
covery, which it knows is yours.

Galveston. Houston and Henderson,
who were busily engaged in the ad-
Justment of a timetable under
the order of the district Judge,
TO be present at the meet
ing at $50 o'clock, the meeting re-
convened and routine business was
taken up. The adjustment of the
question Of cotton and cotton pro-
ducts via Galveston and Velasco was
taken up and after much discussion an
agreement was reached whereby the
matter of o b cotton was relegated to
the traffic managers and general
freight agents of the Texas roads
to .promulgate rule in harmony
with that existing at New Or
leans. In the matter of CO.
ton for export not covered by export
bills OF lading it was decided to allow
10 days overtime before demurrage
should accrue and upon cotton seed
products for export 20 days allowance.
This adjustment was reached after
considerable discussion and it is the
general belief that it is for the best in
terest of Galveston and the traffic of
Texas. Certain other routine matters
were assigned to the manager to ar
range, after which the meeting ad-
journed.

JOHN c. BOAK
Was Buried Last Afternoon With Masonic
Honors

Yesterday at $40 Mr.. John G. Boak
who for 30 many years held such a
prominent place among Austin's
merchants, was buried. DR.. Garrett
and the choir of the Baptist church
had charge of the services at the house
and the Masons at the grave. There
were about 80 Masons in attendance,
DR.. Morse as past master of Hill City
lodge read the beautiful Masonic burial
service most pressively. The Ma
sonic pail bearers we're Messrs. Walter
Tips, VIM. r. Leonard, j, P. Hart,
Jno d. Mccall, John MacBean, W..
H. Bell, w. M. Key, and Burt Nc
Donald Judge Doom and Mr.. John
A. Miller assisted in the Masonic
services.
John Calvin Boak was born at
Middletown, N. Y, in 1882. He
moved to New York City at an early
age and represented the firm Of Lord
q Taylor as buyer and manager of
their carpet and upholster depart
ment in 1861. He associated himself
with Benjamin B. Beattys of Brook
Ign, N. Y, under che name of Beattys
& Boak, No Fourth avenue, carpet
ing and floor covering. In 1879 Mr.
Boak moved to Texas and formed the
firm of D w. Jones & Co., controlling
large wholesale and retail furniture
house. In 1884 Maj. D. w. Jones
died, Mr.. Boak continuing the bust
ness until 1885, when William III.
Fiquet of Alabama joined him and
the firm was called Boak 81 Fiquet.
In 1887 Mr.. Fiquot withdrew, moving
to Honey Grove, Tex, and since then
Mr.. Boak has continued the business

Mr.. Boak was prominent Mason, a
member of the Grand Lodge of New

and absolutely reliable. He was ex-
ceedingly careful and painstaking in
everything he did Until very recent
ly ne was prominent member of the
board of trade and was generally re-
garded as broad -guaged business

upon his family aud large circle OF
friends, and deprives Austin of one OF
her most progressive citizens.

off there is no means of verifying the
reports.

the day we were without any advice
from Liverpool or New York. There
was an influx of buying orders at our
opening, which was at an advance of
5 points from yesterdays closing, but
when these orders were filled and the
market lacked their substance there
was a decline of last nights closing
quotations. About noon wire troubles
were overcome and Liverpool was re
ported to be only a shade higher than
their closing of yesterday, with sales of
10000 bales at unchanged QUO
tations which caused an additional de-
cline here of 4 points from yesterday s
figures. This was only momentary,
however, as the realizing by the longs,
who had sold at the advance in the
forenoon, caused recovery and we
finally closed up on the day. New
York opened 8 points higher, sold 8
points lower than last night, but
closed only point off as compared
with yesterdays prices. The storm
on the Atlantic coast last night is re.

injurious character, while others
believe that it has proven a decided
