NEWCOMERS have had no snow to trouble
them thus far this winter, but 1t will be well for
them to bear in mind that there is new law on
the subject which authorizes the Department Of
Public Works to remove snow and ice from side
walks when the work Is not attended to by the
property owners, the est Of doing the work be-
ing made lien upon the property. After
snowfall the owner has six hours in which TO
clear his walks and then the city will do it at his
expense. This strikes us as excellent law 1t
will do away with serious nuisance in the less
thickly built-up parts of the city. where the re-
moval Of snow is often neglected.

sense a difficult task TO draw differences from
what is known to have taken place. and espc-

lord without waiting to learn the result of his

treat only one inference is possible. and that Is
borne out by his air and that Of his companion

1t is now ten days since the bill creating the
Commission asked for by the President to in
vestigate the Venezuelan boundary question was
acted on by the Senate and put in Mr.. Cleve-
la rs hands but yet nothing has been done,
: far as the public has been informed. toward
I appointment Of the Commission. There has
been no end of gossip regarding possible selec-
tons by the President, but the only actual in
formation on the subject is of negative char
acter. The latest news of this nature emanates
from Justice Brewer, Of the United States SUI
prcme Court, who says that he has not been
asked to accept a place on the Commission. In
his opinion it is not unlikely that such an offer
will be made to Chief Justice Fuller but Justice
Brewer regards his acceptance as doubtful. Evil
IDENTITY the President Is either having trouble in
getting such men as he wants to serve ON the
Commission or else his unwonted and surprising
zeal on behalf Of Venezuela has undergone
marked decline.
We desire TO call the attention OF our readers
most earnestly to the appeal in behalf of the Ar
menians made by the chairman OF the Executive
Committee of the National Armenian Relief As
ISOLATION which is printed in another column or
this paper The general public must be pretty
well informed by this time regarding the dcs-
peraie condition of the soreiy afflicted Ar
menians, but thus far not much has been done
for their relief good deal ought to be done at
once The appeal issued by Mr. Trask sets forth
the facts succinctly and emphasizes the need of
prompt and liberal contributions. Money Is the
chief thing wanted, but supplies Of a certain
character will be useful. The address Of the
local committee is No. As William-st
Congress has been in session just four weeks,
and in that time has dispatched an almost unprec-
edented amount Of business This is especially
true Of the House, whose activity is deserving
Of honorable mention because SO large pro-

properly lays emphasis this morning on the
contrast between the prompt response Of this
Republican House TO the Presidents appeals,

vibrations of Pianoforte Wire.

Although the pianoforto is tho most pop
ular instrument of tho day, it is surpris.
Ing how many of its professional perform
crs fail TO make it interesting. This, while
1t to u great extent is u matter of tcmpcra.
mcnt, is often undoubtedly due to igno.
rance of the dynamic effect of touch rs
affecting tho vibration of tho strings. A
most interesting light has been thrown
upon this subject by u series of photo.
graphs taken in Germany of tho motion at
the pianofortc wire when struck in differ
cnt ways twas found that the duration
of contact was longer with feeble than
with hard striking. The most important
result was the proof that whom n wire is
struck ut Il point between one -scvcnth and
onc-ninth of its length the fundamental
tone has maximum, and tho harmonics
especially tho ii ird, arc very feeble. Hence
n wire thus struck gives its strongest and
richest tone. This is an instructive fac.
for musicians as a base for what will be TO
many OF them u new line of study.

CHINESE JUGGLERS.
Some CT tho Strange and Startling Feats
That They Perform.

Chinese jugglers and Indian fakirs
have pretty much the Same "stock in

tricks performed by Chinese:
When the conjurer asked the specta-
tors what they wanted to see, some one
called for pumpkin.
"a pumpkin" answered the conjur-
er; that is impossible Pumpkins are
out of season."
However, he was only talking, for
presently he took pumpkin seed and
planted it i'll the earth Thel, having
made his little son, 4 or years old, lie
down, he thrust knife into his throat.
The blood poured out into n vessel, and
with it the man moistencd the spot
where the seed had been planted.
Next he covered the corpse with q
cloth and placed wooden bell over the
seed. In Il few moments sprout was
seen rising from the soil 1t grew and
grew and burst into flower. The flower
fell, tho pumpkin showed itself and i'll
creased i'll size with extraordinary ra-
pidity.

it from the stalk, showed it to the pub
