You have all heard the humming and
singing Of telegraph and telephone wires
as you passed thepoles along the streets.
No doubt you have concluded that it is
caused by the action of the wind on the
wires and given it no further Thought
But it is not true that the singing is
caused by tho wind, and If you are at all
Observing you will notice that often tho
humming sound is to be heard cold win
ter mornings when the smoke from chim-
neys goes straight up until Il is lost in the
clouds, and when the frost on the wires
is as fuzzy and thick as a roll Of chenille
fringe.
The wind has nothing to do with tho
sound, and according to an Austrian
scientist the vibrations are due to the
changes of atmospheric temperature
and especially through the action Of
cold, as a lowering of temperature in
duces a shortening Of the wires extend
ing over the whole of the conductor. A
considerable amount Of friction is pro
duced on the supporting bells, thus in
ducing sounds both in the wires and the
poles.
When this humming has been going
on, birds have mistaken the sound for in
sects inside the poles and have been
seen to peck with their bills on the out
side as they do upon the apple and other
trees.-Boston Journal Of Commerce.

Professor Falb Of Vienna has attained
some notCfiety from the fact chat he
predicted the coming Of both series Of
earthquake shocks from which the island
of zante has recently suffered.
Earthquake prognosticationshav been
recorded as coming true in not few in
stances, but there is reason to believe
that the fulhllment of the prophecies was
purely accidental. Seismologists are not
likely 20 give Professor Falb much credit
Cor prescience. They will say he merely
enpponed to foretell what was coming.
We may, to be sure, predict earth
quakes in some regions with a good deal
Of confidence that the prognostication
viii come true. If we predict, for in
stance, that an earthquake or earth
trenors will be felt in Japan tomorrow,
the chances are that the prediction will
come true, for one or two earth move
ments on an average are felt in that
country every day, but we cannot tell
exactly where they will occur or what
degree Of violence they will exhibit.
The greatest boon which could be con-
ferred upon regions that are subject TO
violent earthquake shocks would be the
discovery Of some means Of foretelling
the coming of these terrible calamities.
For years seismologists have given their
most earnest attention TO this problem,
but it cannot DO said that they have
made much progress. Professor John
Milne says that he and his assistants
have spent years in observing the earth
quake phenomena Of Japan, but they
have never yet succeeded in foretelling
the coming OF an earthquake.-New

steaIinr a neahot stove.

"The incident often illustrated in
plays of man carrying off q redhot
stove has no basic truth, said Halman
Carmody. "Still the idea seems 80 pre-
posterous that people never fail to laugh
at the incident when placed before them
on the stage. The nearest theft that
ever knew to parallel it occurred not so
many years ago when an habitual Grim
inal in New York city was given six
months in the penitentiary for stealing n
tinner's stove. The evidence proved that
the criminal had record which included
everything from the theft Of a paper Of
pins and a wagon wheel down to a water
gauge Of a steam engine and the stove
in question.
"rhe timers stove was shown in court.
It was very old fashioned large and
ungainly looking affair, which one might
imagine would be the last thing that
would attract the attention Of even q
chronic burglar. The top was cylindrical
and perfectly open for the purpose Of
draft. To this top was attached the
handle. Now, the stove had a good fice
in il and had been set out on the pave
ment TO obtain extra flame. The thief
must have found it a very hot object to
handle, and yet he ran with it dozen
blocks before he was caught and arrest

It IS not surprising to find Mr.. Stead in

this he means that the cooperative
homes for spinsters and those for bache-
lors should combine their housekeeping
arrangements into sort of ideahzed

would be appeased with "an experienced
lady housekeeper" and where companies

During q season cf' exceedingly cold
weather in q frontier army post the
commanding officer issued an order to
have limited rations of whisky issued TO
his men.
All went well until one day soldier,
an Irish-Amcrican, was arrested and
placed in the guardhouse for intoxica-
ton. The quantity of whisky allotted
to each man was insufficient TO produce
such a result, and brief investigation
which followed developed the fact that
the soldier had stolen the rations Of n
conrade.
In course Of time the matter was
brought TO the attention Of the COM
manding officer, and the private was or
dered before him for trial upon the hei-
nous charge of stealing.
Pat was very much downcast when he
appeared before the officer, but was still
in possession of his faculties and native
wit He denied having stolen the vsllis-
ky. but frankly admitted drinking the
double allowance and his subsequent
drunkenness.
"No, sur" he said, when asked TO ex-
plain further, "shure I'm not afther
stealth the drink. It was this way, sur.
You see, he asked me 10 get his rations,
and had me own requisition an only
wan bottle. Both rations were poured
in the wan bottle.
"Now, sur, I lave it to yer honor,
what was ] 70 DO? Ne own whisky wns
in the bottom Of the bottle, an / couldn't
get at it but by drinking what was on
the top, but shure didn't steal It,"
This original explanation secured an
exceedingly light sentence for the cul-
prit.--New York Herald.

Miss Alolhe Nealson set out to fast 81

but she managed TO complete the task.
The only interesting thing in connection
with the feat is the fact that her weight

pounds a day. This would indicate that
ordinary fasting. rs it is called, would

A considerable amount Of anxiety has
recently been caused, especially among
corporations controlling waterworks, by
the discovery that the passage Of electric
cars has a tendency to seriously injure
the water pipes of a city by causing cleo
trolysis. AT a meeting of a waterworks
association an electrical engineer stated
that in some cases under his observation
lead pipe had entirely disappeared by the
action of the electric current, and "a like
result had attended the use Of iron, gal
vanized iron. brass and 'rustless" pipes
The corrosive action takes place Where
the current leaves the pipe and not
where It enters it, and the phenomena
mentioned were undoubtedly owing to
the operation of electric cars. It is sat
isfactory to know that should the elec.
trolysis Of w ter pipes become so serious
a question as it is thought by some it
may, a certain remedy, although it
would increase the cost Of water install
lations, would be the insulation Of the
conduits. Chicago Herald.

arisen. The Inauguration OF the new
party, the Hawaiian Patriotic League,
last week, having for it's object the
avowed purpose of maintaining as far as
possible tho autonomy of tho country,
shows how the opposition to annexation
grows with delay
The officers and many members OF
the league were not at first strongly
against the prospect of governments
from Washington, but publications in
American newspapers received here
telling of the apparent doubt existing
in the minds of some of the people of
the United States as to the Justice OF
accepting this proposal of the pro-.
visional government is having it's effect
on the minds of native Hawaiians, who
are naturally prone to change.
A meeting of the Civil Rights or

termed, and OF the Patriotic league and
OF the Native Sons of Hawaii, are being
reinforced by meetings of those dissau-
