Bout nuthin' tall when ma was near;
The clouds could bank up in the sky,
Or fore the wind in white streaks fly,
But somehow 'nuther 1 didn't keer
A snap for them-when ma was near.
Goblins that sneak at night to skeer
Us little fOlks-when ma was near
Jes' fairly flew, and wouldn't stay
Round there one bit, but rnnned away;
An don't seem to be one bit queer
They couldn't help it. when ma was near
1t wasn't bad to be sick. where
You felt the joy that ma was near;
The throbs o. pain couldn't stay much
Under the cooling of her touch,
But seemed to stand in moral fear
Ofe everything, when ma was near.

IoupoS JuIy 2s.-Carl Siewers, the
Arctic enthusiast, last night
rscsived : telerram from the captain OF
the Erling. . Norwegian sealer, which
arrived Yesterday ut the Island OF from
zoe. Finmark, Norway. The captain OF the
sssler said In his dispatch
thst near Amsterdam Island, In
latitude "a N. and o iongituae,
the Eriing spoke ths RAgnyald Jarl, the
steamer which was conveying. the well
man or American Arctic expedition 10 the
edge Of the pack Ice.
Inc Ragnvald Jarl, In reply to signals,
asked to Be reported ct b nearest place
the Eriing touched at, saying that all were
well on board. The signal from the
Ragnvsld Jsrl was; -
sPleass report nearest touching place,
All we'll on board RAgnvald Jari n iuii
of hope" :.
The R~agnvald Jarl, the captain OF
the Erling also autographed, "a Oeen
beset by pack ice, which had delayed
her progres considerably. But when
spoken Wellman and his party were free
OF the pack ice, and they should now DC
we'll ON their way to the North Pole:
This cheering new has deiighteo
everybody interested In Arctic explora-
ration, and further news from the Well
man expedition will be awaited with
4 great deal Of interest, as the people are
beginning to really believe that, with
hansen, Jackson and Wellman striving
for the honor Of planting their Nag
ut or near the pole, something away aheae
OF anything before accomplished may b'
recorded this year.
The date on which the Erling spoke tn
explorer Ia not given.

What the Influence of Sympathetic Musical
vibrations May Accomplish.

What the Influence of Sympathetic Musical
vibrations May Accomplish.
Musicians are well aware Of the fact
that IL any note Of the gamut be clearly
rounded or sung within vibration range
of any suitable musical instrument-say a
harp or piano-that the string, whichever
IL may be, tuned To the same note Will
begin TO sound upon its own account, or
ssrespond," as IL is termed. II the singer
then refrains from repeating the note he
began with, but sings another one, the
speaking string instantly relapses into
silence, while another responds to the new
note. In the same way an organ pipe
will respond, as indeed will q vase, a hol-
low vessel with thin sides, or even an
apartment, II the particular note to which
they are respectively tuned" DO hrst
sounded.
Now, IL will be noticed by many that In
constructing stores for the reception OF exs
plosives IL is very much tho fashion to
build q series of exactly the same dimen-
sions. and to place them, with almost
mathematical accuracy, at equal distances
apart. They are filled with explosives.
One day an "accident'' explodes their con-
tents, and everybody Ia surprised when,
despite the next building being much
too far of" and with intervening walls
12 feet thick" some or all the other stores
blow up in due Sequence. What other re-
suit could ensuei v~~
All the buildings are identical In size
and capacity. Hence the mote" sounded
In the firt--whether 1t be one of triumph
or OF tragedy-nnds immediate response"
In No. Q, when, REINFORCED by q second
explosion, the next store cannot do other
wise than follow the example of the other
two, and 90 the mischief spreads. 1t is
important 10 bear in mind that we are
now dealing with the influence of sympa-
thetic musical vibrations only, not with
the mechanical impulse Of q detonic tire
NOR or .'jar." For 1t Is ssumed in this
case that the buildings are SO far apart
and otherwise protected" that, If they
arc i~nharmonic, the material in one can
not be fired simply by decorating the con-
| tents of another adjacent thereto.
The foregoing proposition has Its origin
in some experiments with iodide of nitro
gen and illuminate Of mercury, In the
course Of which the writer found that
small quantities of these sensitive explo-
sives placed In ''sounding boxes" of pre-
cisely the same dimensions could be ex
| ploded by the d~ctenation of one of them al
greater distances from the detonator than,
coeteris paribus, was possible in the open,
or when In boxes (of other shapes) no,
