A Question Making Much Noise.

4 discussion is raging in Erie over a question propounaed by a schoolteachor to her class, If q tree located ill a for. est should fall and no one should see it. would it make a noiso?' The question has created much discussion among the pupils to whom it was presented, and it has spread into older and wider circles. The debate turns upon the theory that sound exists only in the ear, and that there can be no sound where thero is no ear to receive and respond to the atmos- pherio waves. -Oil City Blizzard

Professor Drasehe's Criticism Uufavorable
 to the New Dfphtheria Remedy.
 The physicians of two or threo Euro pean capitals are beginning to find seri- ous drawbacks to the nso of the new remedy for diphtheria. The subject was carefully discussed at the Medical soci- ety in Vienna this week. Professor Drasohe's 5 criticism was unfavorable to the new method, owing to the effects which he had observed in 90 eases. He found that injections of Behring's anti toxine serum affected the kidneys seri- ously. This observation was c0froborated by other doctors. They said that in the presence of this fact it could no longer be believed that the injection had no in- furious effects It could not bo | matter of indifference that a patient who was recovering from dangerous illness should be subjected, through this rem edy, to further serious maIady.
 Up to tho present time. for obsarva- tions have been much too short to per init a final decision as to the value of the treatment, 1t is clear that it's appli- cation should bo limited. With regard to tho statistics which were supposed to provo its success Professor Drasehe said that in diphtheria, bare figures were no evidence. London Letter.

The Story Of the Blanket Of Flowers" on
 Mrs. Astor's Grave an Invention.

The Story Of the "BIanket Of FIowers' on
 Mrs. Astor's Grave an Invention.
 Many women have visited Trinity cemetery, One Hundred and Fifty fifth street and Amsterdam avenue, in the past few lays to see the marvellous blanket of flowers which was said to .'cover the casket'3 of Mrs William Waldorf Astor, and which was to be renewed every morning for year by Mir. Astor' ; order Mrs. Astor was bur jed on Jan. 3, not in a vault, but in grave. in the northwestern corner Of the Astor plot. On the day of the funeral the mound of earth was covered with pine boughs. The oyergreeus have not been removed, and except at one corner which has been uncovered by inquisitiT9 visitors, the grass is covered with snow. The Iaborers in the cemetery have swept a path through the burial plot, and about the grave path has been trodden by men and women.
 The cemetery employees have grown very tired Of having their word doubted by women who inquire the way to the Astor vault and the blanket of flowers on the coffin. No flowers at all have been placed on the grave, and they can see for themselves that none can be put on the casket. So the women insist that the coffin is not in the grave, but in the vault of John Jacob Ast0r. and they ask to have the vault opened, so that they can see this wonderful covering. Al though the man explains to them how impossible and useless it would be to comply with their requests, they de- part unsatistied and doubting his word.
 The old gatekeeper. who has been employed about the cemetery 9 years, has 10 bear the brunt of their inquiries and disappointments. He said that the other evening, just as ho was closing the gates, two women begged for admit tanee, saying that they had come all tho way from East New York to see the flowers and would not go home unsatis- l fled. Some come from other states, and two came from what seemed to him the ntipodes-Staten Island
 All this annoyance and disappoint- ment is due to Joseph FIeisehman, a florist, of Broadway. On the morning l of the funeral he told the reporters that he had the contract to supply fresh flow CTS every day for a year for the grave For this he was to receive $I00 day, he said, and in all he would receive $40. 000 from Mr Astor. On the day after the funeral Mr FIeischman sent to the newspaper offices . typewritten story of the alleged contract given to him by Mr Astor. He was, he said, tc furnish 1, 000 fresh lilies of the valley and i, coo violets each day. Ho repeat ed the statement yesterday to q reporter of The Sun, and then. being confronted With the facts. admitted that ho had in- vented the whole story.
 Superintendent Otto Meurer of tha cemetery and his brother Albert, wHo is sexton of Trinity church chapel and had charge of the funeral. saF that no such order for flowers was given by Mir. As tor to anybody York Sun.

 The Commercial Appeal of Memphis has torn it's shirt-collar because the Arkansas Legislature refused to pass the railroad commission bill. And it has gone so far in it's reckless disregard Of truth, and it's malicious desire to vent it's anger on some body's head, as to perpetrate two base and contemptible falsehoods. First, that the Republicans and Populists defeated the bill, and, sec ond, that the Iron Mountain lobby controlled, by purchase or other wise, the forty eight members who voted against the bill. Let us see. Eighty-seven members of the House voted on the proposition. Seventy six of these are Democrats, eight were Popalists and three were Re publicans. Of the seventy-six Dem- ocrats, forty-one voted against the bill, and thirty-fve voted for it. Of the eight Populists, four voted for it and four against it, and the three Republicans voted against the bill. These figures dispose of falsehood number one. The second charge, that the railroad people controlled by purchase or otherwise, the House of Representatives, was made in Saturdays paper.
 The Press denounces the assertion as base, cowardly and without the

Seventeen voap loeuots.

Seventeen vsar Leeusts.
The temperance Of the seventeen
year locusts, or cicidas, during last
summer was accompanied in some
localities by very singular phe.
nomenon. IL is we'll known that
these wonderful insects, after ~
ing for seventeen years in the
earth. issue at the end OF that
period In the form Of pupe, fro m
long burrows in the ground. Or
dinarily these burrows end at the
surface Of the ground and the pupe,
after crawling out OF them, undergo
their transformation into winged in
sects. But occasionally the cicada,
before issuing from It's burrow, con-
structs an extension OF 1t above the
surface OF the ground like little
hut, and when its period OF trans.
formation Is at hand the insect
breaks open the top or roof OF It's
mud hut and energies into the sun.
shine.
Heretofore but few specimens Of
these huts have been described by
naturalists, but lust spring great
numbers Of them appeared In some
places, ind the question has arisen,
Why were they constructed? Ben
janin Lander discovered an immense
city Of such huts on South noun
tain. near Nyack on the Hudson, and
he thinks he knows why the insects
build them.
These huts were from ore to four
inches in height, and some OF the
more symmetrical OF them. being
composed Of clay, stained with red
oxide of iron, were beautiful objects.
They were scattered BY thousands
over an urea Of about sixty acres,
and IN some spots were crowded
close together, ten, or even twenty,
appearing on q single square foot oil
ground. The population Of this
strange city was, Of course, enor.
nous.
As to the explanation Of the build.
ing Of the cicida city, according to
Mr.. Lander, It was due to the uncom.
mon heat which prevailed In the
month Of April. The heat peno
trated the earth and stirred the pupB
which lay there awaiting their tina
change to premature activity. The.
then assembled to the surface OF the
ground, and while yet awaiting trans
portation added the huts as extern
sions to their burrows for protec-
tion from the heat.
Other persons have thought tina
the huts might be intended to pro
:ect the burrows from tho inflow o
water, but tho city just described
was situated on high, dry ground
In favor OF the explanation Of Mr.
Lander are the facts that the sol
where the huts existed was thin ant
much Of the ground had been GOV
cred with woods and underground
recently burned of. This strip
ping Of the soil of It's covering on
abled the heat OF the sun to penetrate
it the moro readily. and thus to reacl
