CHATTANOOGA FARMERS.
they Sell Bogus ChicLnmauga Relics
to Northern Visitors.
From the Providence Journal

From the Providence Journal
A war relic that has been fondly cher
ished by Walter II. Durfee of this city
for the last few months has turned out
to be a fraud Mr. Durfee has discovered
that his supposed memento CT the battle
of Chickamauga is a common, everyday
sort OF an oak tree, which. even If 1t was
standing so long ago as the time OF the
war. may never have been under fire. He
Is certain that the choice collection Of
rifle balls, solid shot and fragments Of
shells that are imbedded in the old trunk,
were inserted there by some slzillful work.
er in wood.
The tree. which is live oak, is about
twenty feet long. and Is stripped of its
branches In various positions through
out its length there are twenty-five rifle
balls two pieces Of solid shot, and twelve
fragments of shells II was purena OF
two old farmers in Chattanooga last De-
cernber by a friend of Mr.. Durfee, and
shipped to this city. The farmers very
innocently said they had cut this tree, as
we'll as several other specimens they had,
from position in the vicinity of the
famous battlefield.
The two men did a comparatively extern
sive business. Mr.. Durfee accidentally
made a discovery while repairing the
broken top of this tree Saturday. He in
tended boring a hole lengthwise In the
trunk and inserting an IRON ron 70 idSien
on the broken piece. He CHANGED 10 loos-
en- one Of the rife balls, and. looking into
the opening that was left, the whole story
was revealed. The hole was perfectly cut
with an augur and the small hole made
by the point Of the augur was unmistak-
able Further investigation showed that
the solid shot were also inserted in holes
carefully cut out, and some of the other
rifle balls were removed with similar
result.
The man who did the work was an ar
tist. Places were chosen for the insertion
Of the solid shot and shells where the
bark had been broken and had subse-
quently grown partially over the place,
SO that when the ball or shell was inserted
the appearance gave the impression that a
growth of years surrounded the metal
Pieces Of bark had also been ground and
broken and inserted in the fine chinks
to increase the ancient appearance. The
work shown in fixing up the tree must
have required a man over week to ac-
complish, and in the result one may be
excused for being deceived.

sensitive Nerxcs

When the points of a hairpin are passed
along the cheek from point near the eye
to the edge of the upper lip, they seem to
separate The reason is found in the fact
that the nerves of the upper lip are more
sensitive than those of the cheek, and con-
seuuently differentiate the two points.
Portions of the back are so little sensi-
tive to the touch that two points three
inches apart will create the impression
of but one.

Avengc n Petty Insult.

notwithstanding the fact that the
officers Of the American army are the
very pink of courtesy, they sometimes.
in post and garrison life, have very un-
pleasant social experiences, says the
Outlook. An officer in garrison is as-
signed quarters, net according to the
necessities of his family, but in ac-
cordance with his rank. 1t therefore
comes about quite frequently, when q
new officer is sent to post, that there
nrc many changes Of quarters SO as ia

jor arrives, for instance, he selects the

occupant is below him in rank. lie

or any captain or lieutenant, and each

mutually antipathic. In their official
intercourse all the forms were OBJ
served, but still it was plain to I'll that
they cordially dislikcl each other. Ono

EiGh, Primitive Sounds Hidden by the
Creator for Man TO Find Out.
The Chinese have some extraordinary
supcrstitions relating to music. Ac-
cortling to their queer notions the
Creator of the universe hid eight
sounds in the earth for the express pur-
pose of compelling man to find them
ont, says the St. Louis Republic. On
the same principle, il is presumed,
Jupiter, according to Virgil, hides fire
in fints and honey in trees in order to
whet the ardor of mans industry to
persevere in his efforts to rediscover
the hidden treasures.
According to the CELESTIAL idea the
eight primitive sounds are hidden in
stones, silks, woods of various kinds,
the bamboo plant, pumpkins, In the
skins of animals, in certain earths and
in the air itself. ANY one who has
ever had the pleasure ~ OF seeing and
listening to a Chinese orchestra, will
remember that their musical instru-
mcnts were made of all these materials
except the last, and that the combined
efforts of the other seven seemed better
calculated to drive the ethereal sound
away than to coax it from the air,
which is really the object Of all Chinese
musical efforts. When the band plays
the navie credulity of the people. both
old and young, hears in the thuds OF
the gongs and the whistling OF the
pipes the tones of the eternal sounds OF
nature that were originally deposited
In the vnrious animate and inanimatc
objects by the all-wise Father.
