John Rhodes runs junk shop on the
southeast corner of Tenth and Kansas
avenue. He keeps in stock almost any
thing a purchaser could want in the
second hand line from cut glass to wind
mills. He has long since outgrown his
store-room and Mr.. Rhodes has been in
the habit of keeping stoves and other
articles, secure from theft by reason of
their weight, on the sidewalk and in the
park along the street west and
north of his store. Implements,
wheels, old iron, furniture and pieces
of things nobody knows the use of have
been piled high until the corner has be-
come an eye sore to many people who
pass it every day. Chief Wilkerson noti-
lied Rhodes to take his traps indoors, but
they were still there yesterday SO Rhodes
was arrested. In the police court the
dealer said he had moved some of his
things but was unable to move all of
them because he had no place to store
them. He pleaded that he was too poor
to pay a fine. His case was continued
week, and if his miscellaneous stock of
junk is removed by that time the prose =

A Remarkable Train.

One of the most remarkable trains that
ever travelled over the rails OF an Ameri-
can road, left Philadelphia recently, des-
tined for Boston. 1t was composed of %
cars, all handsomely decorated, and every
one of them from first to last loaded with
s'Hires' Rootbeer." There is no question
but that it was the largest consignment
of the kind ever made at one time in
America he value of this shipment
was nearly 100000, and it attracted great
attention among the trade and railroad
men, who gave the train the appropriate
name of Hires Rootbeer Special The
cars contained e.460 cases in all, 4,035
gross, or 581, 040 bottles of Hires Root
beer Extract, sufficient to make 1906, 200
gallons of rootbeer, or over 10 glasses for
each man, woman and child in New Eng
land. They also contained 2, 425 cases,
holding $4,000 pint bottles of rootbeer,
ready 10 drink.
The above figures represent only about
one-third of the total amount of this
popular beverage consumed in New Eng
land during the season. but they give
some idea of the wonderful popularity
throughout the entire country of this
greatest of all temperance drinks. A
Temperance Drink for Temperance
People" is the name given this most de-
lightful beverage. Composed entirely of
roots and herbs without the slightest
trace of intoxicants, it is worthy the
name. Not only is it delightful thirst
satisfying drink, but it has widely rec
ognized value as tonic. Strengthening
the system and cnriching the blood.

In this instance the gown stuff is Zlbe-

her glorious pearls and regal diamonds.

MUSICAL SAND.
1t Can Be Produced in Great Perfec
tion by Artificial Means

1t Can BE Produced in Great Perfec-
tion by Artificial Means.
Mr.. Carus Wilson found that fine sand
from Studland Bay, which was sunuruus on
the beach, but mute when carried home in a
box, gave out a shrill note when struck
in a teacup, says Temple Bar.
The glazed sides OF the cup increased
the intensity of vibration OF the sand by
increasing the number of polished surfaces
in contact, and this was proved by put
ting the same sand in various vessels
with rough interiors and by lining the
glazed and polished vessels with silk,
when it became mute again. -,
sand of the Eigg type, possessing the
physical conditions necessary for the pro-
duction of music in great perfection, is
musical in receptacles of almost any kind
or form The smallest quantity of musi-
cal sand from which Mr.. Wilson got a
true note was thimblefui of Eigg sand
Less perfect musical sand, such as that of
Studland bay, was found To be usua lly mute
except in stu, or in vessels of hard, glazed
interiors and Of certain definite form. Some
''sulky'' sands not only needed vessels of
hard, glazed interiors and of definite form.
but also a box or small pedestal of wood-a
"coaXer''-on which the vessel had to be
placed before the notes became audible. A
''sulky'' sand could be rendered far more
musical by being sifted, washed and boiled
giving out notes afier this treatment with
out the aid of the ''coaxer."
Most musical sands are found to be quickly
''killed, or renderedmut by frequent shak-
ing, as the harder materials abrade the
softer, producing fine dust which prevents
the production of sound.
In further experiments Mr.. Wilson oper-
ated on unmusical sands by sitting, to re-
move fine particles and to insure uniform
ity in the size of the grains; by rolling down
an inclined plane offrosted glass to separate
the rounded from the angular grains, and by
boiling in diluted <hydrocholoric acid to
cleanse the surfaces, and succeeded in thus
obtaining sand which in certain glazed yes
sells gave a musical note as clear as any
musical sand known to him, except that of
Eigg.
The results Of his experiments clearly
show the physical conditions which sand
must possess in order to emit musical sounds
and also that it does not appear to be inn
possible, by suitable artificial means, to
produce sand which, like the Eigg sand,
will be musical in almost any receptacle.
