NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The cotton mar

points and closed firm at net advance
of 10 a Is points. 1t was expected that
the Liverpool market would show an ad-
vance of from 2 to points at the open
ing this morning. Instead of that, the
first cables came only 1a1 1-2 points
higher. Succeeding cables, however,
brought higher quotations and the En-
glish market finally closed firm at net
advance of SAB 10 points. This gave
considerable confidence to the local trad
ing which brought in few buying or
ders but at the best the market was not
active. Hesitation seemed to be the
order of the day pending more positive
news from the crop. Rumors of large
transactions in spot cotton stimulated
speculation in the afternoon somewhat.

EVOLUTION EVEN HERE.

Tho Dogs Bark Has Become More Ex-
prossive ms His Culture Advanced.
The most curious imitation which we
find in dogs is as to the measure of ex-
preston to which they have attained.
Among the savage forefathers of the
modern dog the characteristic of all
their utterance was, to great extent,
involuntary, and once begun the out
cry was continued in mechanical
manner.
The effect of advancing culture on
the dog, however, has been gradually
to decrease this ancient undif-
ferentiated mode of expression by
bowling and yelping, and to
replace it by the much more speech
like bark. There is some doubt
whether dogs possessed by savages
have the power of uttering the sharp,
specialized note which is so character
istic of the civilized form of their
species
1t is clear, however, that if they have
the power of thus expressing them
selves they use it but rarely. On the
other hand, our high-bred dogs have
to great extent lost the power to ex-
press themselves in the ancient way.
Many of our breeds appear to have be-
come incapable of ululating. There is
no doubt but the change in the mode
of expression greatly increases the
capacity of our dogs to set forth their
states of mind.
If we catch a high-bred dog-one
with a wide range of sensibilities,
which we may find in breeds which
have long been closely associated with
man-we may readily note five or six
varieties of sound in the bark, each of
which is clearly related to certain
state of mind. That of welcome, of
fear, of rage, of doubt, and of pure fun
are almost always perfectly distinct to
the educated ear, and this. al Though the
observer may not be acquainted with
the creature If he knows him we'll
he may be able to distinguish various
other intonations-those which ex-
press Impotence, and even an element
of sorrow. This last note verges to-
ward a howl. Magazine.

The improvements which w. H. Soul
by has lately added to the microphone,
or ''sound magnifer," makes it one of
the most marvellous mechanical con-
trivances of the age. The special con-
struction of this instrument is of no
particular interest to anyone except
experts, but what is told of it's wonder
full powers as a magnifier of sounds
will entertain the young and old. as
we'll as the scientific and unscientific.
After the instrument had been COM
pleted, with the exception of few fin
ishing touches, Soulby found it abso-
lutely necessary to keep the door OF
his workshop tightly closed SO as to ad-
NIT no sounds from the outside, other
wise the inarticulate rumblings given
off by the 'ejector" would have be-
come unbeara BILE. Even with closed
doors the cap had to be kept constant
ly in place on the receiver to keep the
instrument from sending forth roar.
which previous investigation had
proved to be a combination of sounds
produced by watch beats, breathing,
the hum of flies. etc.
A fly walking across the receiver of
the instrument made sound equal to
a horse crossing bridge, and when
Mr.. Soulby laid his arm across the box
the blood rushing in his veins gave
forth a sound which much resembled
that made by the pump of large
steam engine. The playing of piano
in house across the street was, when
elected from Soulby's machine, like
the roar of an avalanche, and the
washing of dishes in the kitchen of
house across the alley made sound
which the inventor of the machine says
was "a burden to his soul" When
anyone entered the room, walked
about, coughed, touched the table or
door handles, the shrek which issued
from the ejector was most painful to
hear.
Hundreds of uses have been sug.
gested for the microphone, the most
practical being those of blood circula-

| No Reason Why He Should Appear in Such
Poor Light.
There is a modern definition of a
bridegroom which is little cruel GER
tainly, but which pretty well describes
the position of that parsonage A
bridegroom is said to be a thing in a
black coat who attends weddings. And
it is quite true that in point of impor-
lance he ranks very low down indeed
in the eyes of the spectator. Yet there
is not the slightest reason really why
he should appear in such very poor
light as he too often does.
He need not, for instance, come into
church or the room as if he were being
led to execution. He need not hang
his head as if caught in the commits
sion of crime, or blunder about with
an awkwardness which makes every
girl present feel thankful she is not in
the brides shoes.
No doubt his position is painful and
trying. He feels he is the target for
all eyes, when, in fact, he is nothing
of the kind. Let him start by con-
vincing himself that no one is likely to
