Ii has long been the custom Of ships
lying at the brooklyn navy yar,t To dis
charge their powder as precaution
against accident, ana the regulations
as to entering a man-of-wars powder
magazine are of the most stringent
character. 1t sometimes happens that
a single catastrophe IS responsible for
extra precautions that become perna-
nently imhedded in naval regulations,
and doubtless the destruction of the
frigate Fulton a. the Brooklyn navy

HOW VOICES ARE RUINED.
Loud singing and Singing While suffer-
ing From q Cold Detrimental

Loud Singing and Singing While suffer-
ing From Cold Detrimental
A musician tells a reporter of the
Utica Press How Voices Are Ruined"
It should be read and remembered by
all young singers. Among other things
he said: THE three principal sources
of damage 70 the voice are, first, fore
ing the voice; second, forcing the
voice; third, forcing the voice. Con-
slant loud singing has certainly ruined
ninety per cent. of ali the voices in the
world. The way 30 build up voice is
not to use the full force of the tone;
nothing more than medium at the out
side. by this the powers are grad
ually developed and brought under
control 1t is Just as natural to ex-
pect TO build an armory in month, as
it is 10 build voice under three years
constant application. Sir MorreI
Mackenzie gives it as his DELHI
crate opinion, after a vast ex-
perience, that voice cannot be
built up in less than seven years,
but the musician said that, after
fifty years experience, he had found
that three years practice on the
lines indicated above will build
up a voice almoss TO It's utmost artistic
capabilities. Singing when the pupil
has cold of any kind affecting the
throat or chest is highly injurious
Practice at such times can hardly do
good and may do serious harm The
speaker quoted many instances where
total loss of voice has resulted from
singing when the vocal organs have
been affected by cold, and he advised
students not 10 sing at all until all in
aammation had passed. He strongly
deprecated singing in chorus, an ex-.
cellent practice, but one attended
with serious dangers TO the solo vocal
ist. If you can really restrain your
ardor and zeal, and only sing i'm the
most exciting passages with a moder-
do no harm, but the misfortune is that
in chorus the members are carried
away with overzeal and emulation of
their neighbOrs, and in very many in
stances do more harm 10 their voices
as solo singers in five minutes than
any teacher in the world can amend in
five years. He also called attention
to the danger of running the voice by
straining it while singing in the pub
lie schools. Boys should not sing
while their voices are changing. His
own voice had been very good one
while young; but was ruined by
straining while he was singing in an
English cathedral.

for the people To get together, and,
without any well-arranged plan, to
have good jolly time visiting and at
the same time, cancelling their road

at permanent improvement, when a
good reliable supervisor, with Just a
sufficient number of haads and teams
to work to advantage, would be able TO
make permanent repairs, instead Of the
temporary slipshod work that would
have to be done over every year
Another important matter is to have
vehicles SO constructed that they will
do the least amount of damage TO the
roads. For instance, all heavy draft
wagons should be made with wide

suddenly freezes up, as it often does in
a night, these deep ruts may remain
for weeks. A broad tire acts as a roller,
and instead of rutting, smooths and
hardens the track, and the friction or
resistance Is so much less that much
greater loads can be hauled. A man
who does great deal Of hauling,
mostly of green lumber. told the the

EFFECT OF AIR IN CAVES.

70 Sometimes Causes Nausea to People
with Delicate Noses.
In his account of the visit TO the
Mammoth cave in Kentucky, DIR. Hovey
describes the peculiar physiological
effects experienced on emerging from
that loeality-the sense of smell being
intensified to such an extraordinary
degree that most common objects, such
as trees, plants, animals and even peo-
Pile, had strong individual doors. most
" unpleasant. and some visitors are
known to suffer from nausea and head
aches by reason of a too sudden change
from the remarkably pure air Of the
cave to that of the outside world. Ac-
cording To DR.. Hogay's theory, this In
classification OF olfactory perceptions
is due TO the rarity of olfactory slim
uli in the cave, while on emergence, in
keeping with physiological law, the
pereeptive powers for these particular
stimuli, having rested, are intensified,
SO that odors too delicate to make an
impression under ordinary circum-
stances are powerfully felt--by the
constant repetition of the ordinary
olfactory stimuli, this effect passing
off, so that soon only the stronger
odors are registered in consciousness;
that is, consciousness is mainly con-
cerned with the registration of the
contrast between the stimulus of the
moment and a background Of confused
and undifferentiated impressions, and
though. ordinarily, sensations are in
creased by more intense stimulation,
they may also be increased in the
illustration just given-by varying the
background SO as TO bring ordinary
stimuli into stronger relief.

BottOmtess Mud Roads Cost Farmers

The important question Of better
country roads is being agitated, though
not as much as it's Importance de-
mands. When will farmers understand
how extravagant it is for them to use
poor roads? The extra cost for wear
and tear, the smaller amount a team
can haul, the annoyance of having to
use bad roads, and the greatly depre-
ciated value of real estate along such
roads, are items Of too much impor-
lance 20 be overlooked. Now, want
to make one or two suggestions as to
how our roads may be greatly improved

Tough Tar Heels:

The Yorkville Yeonaa's Of yesterday
tells good one on Sam Milling, who
has been operating on the North Caro-
lima line. According to our contem-
porary, day or two ago Sam spie5 q
covered wagon and went up and asked
the driver what he had. The reply was
s'whiskey and apples." He requested to
see It, and was told to hitch up his horse
and crawl in, which he did with an
alacity that was commendable even in
an officer of the law. Heplunged around
In tie fodder while and uncovered q
one gallon jug and five gallon keg OF
whiskey, which was sufficient to his
mind, and he thought he would get out
and carry out the rest Of his programme
by arresGing the whole outfit, but not 80.
As he raised his eyes and looked at the
driver, he found himself looking into the
muzzle Of revolvar. Turning around,
he saw q man with another at the rear
end Of the wagon. They suggested that
it would be well for him to be quiet and
keep his seat, and that he did so goes
without saying. The wagon was turned
toward North Carolina and driven rapidly
for four or five miles. After getting a
good piece into star heer' territory, the
driver halted the wagon and told MIR.
Milling that he could get out, retrace the
route by foot and see II be conld find the
horse that had been left behind him. A
tiresome walk brought him to the scene
of the beginning of his adventure, where
he found his horse as he had left him.
He mounted the animal and rode down

and went back to watch for the return of

Greater New York.

New YORK, Febi uary 2S.-Now, that
the bill consolidating New York and
Brooklyn has passed both houses of the
legislature and has received the gov
ernor's signature, public opinion solidly
endorses it.
Brooklyn he's more than 100000 in-
habitants, and is altogether too large and
important city to be sidetracked as a
suburb of New York. When the pro-
visions of the enabling act are carried out
and voted upon, the greater New York,
as the newspapers call it, will have a
population Of 100000, and al area Of
about lbs square miles.
Unquestionably this consolidation is
In the interest of peace and order, econo-
my, and good government. Several other
annexed district, and when the union be-
comes an accom- plished fact the new city
will rank with London, Paris and Ber-
lin, leading all but London. The subur-
ban towns will be freed from their vii
lage shackles, aud will become part of
one Of the greatest cities on the globe.
The annexation takes in Brooklyn, Long
Island City, the towns of Kings county,
Flushing, Newtown, Jamaica, Westches-
ter county and portions Of the towns of
East Chester, Pelham, Hampstead and
Richmond county. The people Of these
communities will vote on the question in
November next.
Greater New York will probably con-
tinue under democratic rule, and will be
the model city of the world so far as
good government and economy are con-
cerned, while its wealth and vast inter-
ests will make it the leading com nlercial
and financial center. Consolidation Is
the order of the day in business and in
municipal affairs, and i. is safe to say
that other American cities with populous
suburbs will very soon follow the
example Of New York. Such combine
tions make government less expensive
and furnish the united communities
with all the conveniences of civilization
at q smaller cost than would be the case
under separate government.

The long struggle in Congress oyer the
Bland bill for the coinage OF the silver
zseigniorage and tho silver bullion in the
Treasury was ended last Thursday by the
passage of the bill by vote Of 1G7 to 1So.
The special order to bring the bill to a
3yose was adopted by bare quorum i'm
smediatelY after the House convened.
4This broke the opposition of the 6libus-
Iers, and they were powerless to do any
Ihing further to place an obstacle i'll the
way Of the bill. All the amendments
offered 20 the measure by its opponents
were defeated. The bill as passed was in
she nature Of q substitute for the original
sext Of the measure. The changes do not
affect the material features of the bill,
which provides for the coinage of the
silver seigniorage in tho Treasury, the
issue of silver certificates thereon, If
5aeeds be, in'the discretion of the Secre-
5iary OF the Treasury in advance of the
coinage, and thereafter the coinage of the
remainder of the bullion as fast as prac-
tieable, and the issue Of silver certificates
thereon to take the place of the Treasury
notes Issued Under the Sherman Act,
which are to be retired and cancelled as
rapidly as tho coinage takes place. The
changes made in the substitute simply
makes specific the fact'that the seignior-
age is to be coined and that this bill shall
mot affect the redemption of the Treasury
notes under the existing law. An analy-
sistof the vote by which the bill passed
shows that 141 Democrats, 10 Republicans
and s Populists, total l67, voted for it, and
