Hard on Wagner.

1t was in a piano factory, and be.
ing Christmas time they were spe-
cially busy.

man who sweeps the Office. II want
you to go down the street and tune a
piano for family. They're In agreat
hurry or wouldn't ask you TO do IL,
but the regular tuner has gone for
the day.
II can't tune pianos, replied the
man.
"Oh, yes you cam" said the dealer
cheerfully. "Just open the lid and
you'll see lot OF keys Give 'em Il
few twists SO as to tighten the wires,
thump on the keyboard like a crazy
man for fifteen minutes Charge

put the coal on the fire."

That evening the daughter OF the
house remarked TO her tiance:
"How charm lngly he tuned IT. i
was never able To play Wagners
music SO deliciously"
Another story appropos OF the same
subject, runs In this wise. Liszt, the
immortal, is sitting In his studio

friend. "Ah, my dear Able, and do
lind you practicing?"
Liszt ayes; l am trying over
Wagner's latest work"

Electric Dangers in BaiIooning.

DR.. Bernstein had done good service
ia completing his serie, OF exper ments
TO determine the extent 10 which
balloons are subject To danger from
electricity. Balloons often caught
fire, but the cause or the com bustion
remained a mystery. About Thirty
years ago, at Gratz, Goddard's bal
loon burned up while 10 was being
filed for an ascent and the mlshap
was attributed TO a careless
smoker among the onlookers
Other cases OF the spontaneous
combustion of ballons have occurred,
but IL was not until 1880, when Capt.
Zobeps military balloon took fire,
that electricity was suspected as the
cause On that occasion when his
comrade Lieut. Marchal, was open
ing the escape valve, he noticed
little explosion ins de 1t, which set
fire TO the balloon. Luckily, the
balloon had landed after the trip,
aud the conse luences were not seri-
GUS Careful investigation was
made, and the whole conditions OF
the trip wee recalled. Part OF the
voyage had been made in thick
clouds highly electritled-that is,
thunder clouds--and the balloon, in.
Guiding the valve, had been charged
with electricity. The atmosphere
was dry, and IL had kept its charge
on reaching the ground. The lieu
tenant, however, being In contact
with the earth, had produced spark
in pulling the cork TO open the valve.
The subject has since been followed
up, and DR.. Bernstein now shows by
experiment that the safety valve OF
balloon is liable TO become electri-
fed. not merely under such condi.
tions as mentioned above, but also
through the friction OF the cord on
the balloon, and the folding OF the
envelope on itself Many Lreciu.
tions are laid for aeornauts, VINO in
future will doubtless exercise great
care I'm the construction and ad Just
ment OF the safety valve, avoiding
metallic parts, and anything likely
To produce an electric spark.

1t Is needless to say. however. that

The New Court House Proposition Can
Only be Defeated Through Neglect.
The fact that Rock Island county
is confronted with the absolute neces-
sity OF erecting a new court house is
shown. not only in the report of the
committee on public expenditures Of
the board of supervisors, in which is
set outnso forcibly the alternative
of expanding $4,000 now on the old
building, or of voting the $125,OO0
for the entirely new structure. but
in the opinion of the Judge and jury
and other court house officials, as
published in yesterdays ARGUS has
convinced all our business men. and
leaves the proposition now before the
people in such shape that it can only
be defeated through neglect to vote
upon it. The conservative, practic-
al, business man cannot, and does
not in the light of all the circum-
stances and conditions that have
been established, hesitate as to which
course to pursue. He must natural
ly apply the same principle that he
would apply to his own business.
w lAiuhiuS pcTSou Wouiu lnNest an
immense sum OF money for temper
airy repairs, when he could just as
well provide for all contingencies by
the erection of an entirely new build
ing. No one can hesitate as between
which is the more feasible, a perma-
nent Improvement or temporary
expenditure of what amounts to
about one-fourth Of that permanent
improvement.
1t has been shown that now is the
cheapest time to build, that labor
needs the fruits of the improvement,
and will get it. and. that from every
point of view the appointed time for
the investment is upon us.
do Not Neglect IT.
Satisfied therefore, as we all must
be, that the new court house should
receive the endorsement of all think
ing people. there is only one possible
means by which it can be defeated
through neglect to vote upon it.
Do not overlook the court house
proposition on your ticket next Tues
day.

should be elected in its entirety. 1t
is superior in every way to the re-
publican ticket. The gentlemen who
compose it are competent and trust
worthy. and two of them have already
demonstrated their capabilities as
public officers. Realizing the advis-
ability of electing it, many republi-
cans have signiiied their intention OF
supporting it in whole or in part.
