grains explains, il is believed, why
sound is emitted when they, are set in
motion, viz: That friction against each
other causes vibrations in their sub
stances, and consequently in the sides
OF the cavities in that portion which is
made up Of the. dead corals- These vi-
hrations being communicated to the
air in the miniature cavities under the
most favorable conditions for produc-
ing sounds, the result is q loud noise

MILITARY SYSTEM OF GERMANY

The Country That Has Been tho WAe
School Of Europe.
The military history and successes Of
Germany have easily made her the war
school of Europe, and the sciep tific de-
velopment Of the military art, to which
she is indebted for the overthrow of
Austria and France in her later wars,
has compelled the others to follow her
example and initiate her methods even
to the particulars Of organization and
equipment, though unable probably to
rival her in systematic thoroughness of
preparation and sustained attention to
detail. The system evolved by Germany
and now substantially common to all
the continental states, says the North
American Review, is as . whole simple
enough, and has for its practical object
the conversion, SO far as may be, of the
entire nation into military body with
the largest amount OF training that the
finances and other public exigencies
will permit.
The controlling principles may be
summarized as follows: l. Liability
to service universal, and actual service
compulsory at the discretion OF the
state. 2. The thorough training and
maintenance under arms in readiness
for immediate service of as largea force
as practicable. 8. A secure simplicity
and perfection Of organization ana
equipment in every particular, large
and small. 4. The formation, rs rap
idly as may be, of regular reserve,
from which the active ranks can be at
once expanded from peace to . war
footing with fully trained men. S.
The formation and partial training ofa
militia, which in the absence Of the
regular troops is to occupy garrisons
and forts, construct defenses, maintain
order at home, and supply the waste OF
war by filing vacancies in the field. L
The enrolment Of every citizen into p
force that may be levied er masse il
case OF invasion. z. Careful study and

military complication in order 4kat

NOTHING LIKE PRINTERS I'M


How It Once induced Jamss Gordon Ben-
mott to Ratse . Pressman's SALARY.
James Gordon Bennett is very erratic
in his movements. He 'sdrops in" upon
his branch Offices in Paris OK London
without any notice being sent Of his
coming, and delights to surprise the
clerks by overhauhng their books ana
examining their accounts. On one of
these occasions, says the Utica Observer,
one of the pressmen, q man who had
worked for the elder Bennett, and was
an excellent workman, though guilty
Of an occasional lapse from sobriety,
had bad black eye and was In =
quandary as to what excuse he should
offer if Mr.. Bennett noticed it. Act
ing on sudden inspiration he seized
an ink roller and rubbed daub of ink
on the side of his face completely con-
cealing the discoloration Of the skin.
Presently Mr.. Bennett came into the
press room, and with the superintend-
ent, John Hays, wentcarefally through,
criticising every detail, and looking
sharply at each employe. When about
=, leave he turned suddenly, and,
::-5intihg to the besmirched prossman.
he said:
''Mr. Hays, what Is that mans hame?"
The culprit quaked in his shoes until
Mr.. Bennett said, slowly:
II want you to give that man three
dollars per week more wages; he is the
only man in the room who looks as il
he had been working

her and secure the signature. Then the
purchaser asked to know what she
would take and sign the deed, fearful
that she would be exactfng beyond his
inclination to comply. After good
deal Of hesitancy she said she thought
she ought to have two dollars, which
he promptly handed her, and she
signed the title. She turned over the
silver dollars time and time again,
laughing over her good luck. She said:
well, well, this is the first money
have ever had in my life that could
call my own and spend it as ] may wish
to do to suit mvself."

KEEPING SAVINGS AT HOME.

rs D. y =
An Old Lady's $50 In t}old On which She
Lost $4,000.
A woman recently died in = neigh
boring town, and beside granddaugh-
t>r and her cynical husband, she left =
few relatives and $50 in gold with other
things. The woman, says the Worces-
ter Gazette, was over 95 when she
died, and the $50 included her wedding
presents. Like many persons in those
days, she held fast to the shining ea-
giles, and had had them for nearly ~
years. When she died, OF course, the
birds were distributed among the heirs.
The cynical husband, who was married
to the old lady's favorite granddaugh-
ter, mused upon the $50 in gold and
stripped his thoughts of all sentiment,
as he speculated in his mind what
might have been. He has not quite got
through figuring yet, and his constant
query is, If grandmother had only put
that $50 in the bank when she first got
it, what q clutch of golden eagles we
would have now! He unused on this as
he got ready on cold mornings to go to
work, and his favorite topic of thought
was SO6kC9eCA 1o A0 jA8A~A q AA~ASA
and bunch of keys looking for his car
fare. Then he began to figure that
money at 6 per cent. doubles in about
II years, and he lost sleep as he thought
how many times II years went in ~,
years. When the cynical husband
finally referred the question of his
losses to bank man he learned that in
so years the $50 in gold would have
amounted to 81, ,473.60. Without fgur-
uring any further ON the problem, the
bank man said he would easily con-
slider that SIC, 900 was lost by saving $50.
It is not an unusual thing in some Of
the old banks to have an account dOub-
led many times over and over again.
One day last week In the Worcester
county institution for savings, ansac-
count was reckoned at $344.0a, which
originally was but $10.65. Nothing had
ever been added or taken from the
bank account, and it was left to accu-
mulate. It took about so years for
the original sum to gather all that
moss. There was another recent in
stance in the same bank where 81
times the original sum was paid to .
depositor. No one wonders that some
body discovered and said that money
makes money. ..

Don't Make Any.
'sI've handled and sold forty thou
sand gross of split key rings since
1857, "said the little man in an over-
coat and white sweater, "and not
one of them was of American make"
'sWhy, how Is that?' asked New
York Sun reporter.
Because there are none made in
this country" replied the little man,
with aspaile that lifted one corner OF
his gray mustache. mo, sir" he con-
tinued, .4he making Of split steel rings
is an art that we haven't got hold OF
yet, somehow, and must say l often
wonder at it."
Where are they made, then?"
1.-THE best, sir, are made about fifty
seven miles outside of Paris, at . little
manufacturing town whose name 1
can't just now recall. The next best
rings are made in Sheffield. England,
while rings of inferior quality, made
from Swedish iron. are manufactured
in Alsace. / don't know that the steel
in the French rings is any better than
that used by the Sheffield .manufac-
turers, but the Frenchmen in this, as in
SO many things. have got the hang of
making their things look well. The
Sheffield rings are polished with oil
and emery, and that gives them dull
stcely look, while the French rings are
polished by the dry process, with what
they call 'crocus POWDER a sort OF
coarse rouge"
"What are the extremes in size of
split rings?'' the man was asked.
'sThe smallest that l ever handled, -
he replied, ''were three-sixteenths of
an inch across. They are gilded when
they reach this country and are used in
cheap jewelry. The largest key rings
l ever sold were two and half inches
in diameter, and those l sold to the
wardens at Sing Sing. In fact, they
are called pri"on rings. That key ring
with the two little knobs or bosses
through which you slip the key, is also
a French manufacture, and indeed l
have never seen an American key ring
except that clumsy little thing where
double plate with notch in it, and
then spring out the open end of the ring
through this notch. must say" con-
cluded the little man, musingly, 81
often wonder why we don't make
rings over here. Even now there's a
forty-five per cent. duty on them, and
they could be sold at half their present
price and still bring good profit.
Why, just think, sell over one hum
dred and fifty thousand rings year.
and there must be millions OF them
handled every year in this country"

MACHiNE-MADE SPEECHES.

Turned Out with Marvellous Rapidity by .
Recent English Invention.
There is no doubt that both the type
writing machine and the phonograph
are very ingenious and useful inven-
tions, but the chief difficulty with
them, says the New York Times, is
that they cannot be made to act auto
matically. 1t is in order to fill this
want that a distinguished inventor,
whose name is for the present with
cid, has invented an automatic writer,
ana, ludglng from the private exnlol-
tion of the machine which was recently
given in London to committee OF
members of the Royal society, it bids
fair to prove the greatest invention Of
this or any age.
In appearance the machine is said to
be not wholly unlike q typewritlng
machine. 1t, however, is provided with
sort of hopper, in which are placed
blocks of type metal, each one of which
is provided with complete word, in
stead Of single letter. When this
hopper is filed and the small electric
engine which furnishes the motive
power VI VIC A4<3CNAAC Oo0U Al 0<UsSA ~
instantly begins to print. OF course,
what is printed depends, in q good der
gree upon the selection Of words which
are placed in the hopper, but it is un-
derstood the machine can be used for
almost uny sort of composition.
At the exhibition already mentioned
the hopper was filled with q supply Of
words relating to the English political
situation, and in ten minutes after the
engine had been started the machine
had printed two.full columns, each Of
about the length Of an ordinary col
umn Of q newspaper. When these were
read they were instantly recognized to
be a speech on home rule in the general
style OF Mr.. Gladstone. The hopper
wss next flied with . choice selection
of the very finest words in the Lam
guage, and the machine thereupon
printed what .WnS ut once perceived to
be an essay after the m.inner of Mr..
Ruslkin on political economy. More
words were added and three pages Of
what any exitin would hare anhesi-
tat;nfly accepteh as : passage from
new novel ~ Hr. 8fenedith deaighfsd
the committee. The last experiment
was msde with the hopper filled with
words taken from the Slang Diction-
lafy and The result was story in dia-
1ect which was held to be superior to
almost any dialect story hitherto pub
nshed

RATS ON THE RAMPAGE.

They Invade . FArmef's Premisos and
Mako Great Fight.
The village of President, an old-time
petroleum center, is in the Oil creek OF
Pennsylvania. There is where the
Karnses, once q famous family Of oil
operators, had their home, and some Of
them live there and thereabout yet.
One Of these is Henry Karns. The
other day, early in the morning, he
heard his pig, which had reached the
proper condition for killing, squealing
in such an agonizing way in the pen
that he knew something was wrong
with it. Harms first thought was
bear, for now and then, even at this
late date, bears venture from the dis
tant woods to the sleepy towns in that
part of the valley and try their skill on
pigs and sheep. So Karns took his gun
and hurried to the pig pen. But instead
OF bears rats were the impudent in
vaders of the pig pen and hungry assail-
ants Of the pig.
The :stye was simply alive with rats.
The pig was PROSTATE on the floor OF
the pen, and literally covered with this
horde OF rats, which were squealing,
fighting among themselves for vantage
ground on the fat porker, and gnash-
ing and gnawing at the pigs flesh.
from his head to his rump. To FIRE his
gun into the swarming rats would be
the endangering of the pig, and think
ing that prompt and vigorous attack
on the rats would put them to fight, he
clubbed his gun and began mauling
right and left with it. The pig had
plainly made q desperate fight against
its assailants, for scores Of rats lay
dead about the pen. The moment
Karns pitched into the rats those in the
outer ranks turned on him. They came
ct him in such force that he was uu-
able to fight them of, and after brief
attempt to hold his ground he turned
and fled. fastening back to the house
he drew the buckshot from his gun and
loaded it with fine shot. Returning to
the pen, he gave the great body of rats,
shooting along the side of the pig SO as
not to injure it, the charge of both bar
rels Many of them were swept down
before it, but their places were quickly
taken by others. Karns fred Ave times
The rats that were left still held their
ground.
The shots had attracted the attention
of the neighbors, who ran to the place
to see what was going on. This arrival
of reinforcements alarmed the rats, and
the survivors retreated, scampering
away in all directions. The pig was
dead. The flesh had been stripped from
it clear to the bone in many places. Its
eyes had been plucked out, and its
heart half eaten in two. A half-bushel
basketful of dead rats were taken from
the pen. Where the rodents came from
SO suddenly in such great numbers is
not known. None Of them has been
seen since.
