for it had been hinted around that the
investigation into the affairs of the bank
would cause the arrest of come other
officials.

Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1895-07-04

The majority OF people are not
aware, perhaps, says the st. Louis
Republic, that each of their ears is
provided with many stringed harp,
but such is the case. These wonder
full little instruments are named
after their dlscoverer. being called
the organs OF Corti. Each OF these
curious ear harps is provided with
$500 wonderfully minute strings OF
varying length and thickness. The
larger strings are estimated to be
about 1-5, 000th Of an inch in dame
ter, and, as shown by actual measus1-
ment, are only 1-20Uth of an inch in
length. The smaller ones are so in
finitesimally fine that no estimate Of
their thickness (thinness) has ever
been made. They are, however, esti-
mated to be about IL, 000th OF an
inch in length. Musicians will tell
you that when properly tuned VIC
lin is held near q piano, and the E
string OF that instrument is struck,
the corresponding string on the vio-
lin will also vibrate; SO with all the
rest. Now, the 500 strings of the
human ear harp have such a wide
compass that any appreciable sound
which can be imagined can find a
string of corresponding tone the mo-
ment it enters the ear passages.
The sounds thus noted on the many
stringed harp are instantly conveyed
through the connecting filament to
the auditory nerve, thence to the
sensorium. Thus knowledge Of
the sound is conveyed to the brain.

MARCH OF THE TROLLEY.
Electric Railway Making Headway
All Over the Country.

Withing the past five years the
trolley electric cars have covered so
many localities that they are getting
u great deal OF the passenger traffic
in the suburbs of cities and between
populous country towns short dis
lance apart.
In Pennsylvania and Connecticut
the courts have recently held that
the trolley lines are not authorized
to use public roadways for their
tracks under the permission OF the
authorities until they secure the
consent OF every proprietor whose
land fronts the roadway. This rul-
ing checks the progress Of the troll
ley in these two States, and yet they
are making Roadway there and in
other States, especially in the thick
ly settled North. In Pennsylvania
the Legislature has passed an act
authorizing street railways to carry
freight, and the Lehigh Valley road
will equip all lis charter branches as
trolley roads for freight and passen-
gers.
In vermillion County, Illinois,
trolley line has been granted for
twenty years the free use OF public
highways for freight and passenger
service for distance OF thirty miles.
paralleling the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois road. on condition that pas
sengers shall not be charged more
than q cent and q half mile. In
Michigan an electric road forty miles
long Is being constructed from Port
Huron. 1t is laid with heavy 7 rails
and will, be equipped with standard
freight and passenger cars. 1t will
cost less than 81, 900 mile to build
and equip, whereas the cost for q
steam railway would be between
$40, 600 and 100000.
What it will cost to operate and
renew the trolley lines the future will
determine, but there is good reason
to believe that this cheap, rapid and
satisfactory system OF transportation
will be greatly extended in the next
few years. The electric lines will be
very useful in the farming districts,
connecting them with their country
towns and the markets and acting as
feeders to the steam railways. 1t Is
not likely that there will be any seri-
Gus discrimination against them at
tempted by the Stote Legislatures.
Such measures would be very unpop-
ular, and the steam railways will in
the end find the electric lines such
valuable auxiliaries that they will
not oppose them.

Dangerous Trees.

A word Of warning Is necessary as
to the proximity OF trees to houses.
Many old-fashioned rural houses, as
distinguished from the maisons de
campagne, are EMPOWERED in trees
and buried in laburnum. They look
delightful in pictures and sound en-
chanting in poetry; but there are
drawbacks in every mundane sphere,
and there are one or two little penal
ties to pay, even in laburnum land.
The nearest tree should be several
yards away from the house, and II
possible, from every part OF the
house. We have observed lately, in
more than ope London suburb, where
an attempt W being made to build
dwellings which arc at once healthy
and picturesque. that houses have
been placed within half yard of old
trees, mainly Gins. Some of these
houses are most certainly built over
the roots OF trees, and 1t will require
a very liberal supply OF good concrete
to keep such dwellings dry?
A house with trees so near to IL
must inevitably be dark and damp,
for the roots, which are not tlsem-
selves really damp producers, are
damp retainers. for they form an OBJ.
stacle to the escape of the water
which Is always moving about in the
soil. There Is a double danger at
teaching to tho very close proximity
OF elms to house. Altogether. apart
from the damp, the elm Is PREACHER.

Is certain sooner or later to drop one
OF its boughs through the drawing.

break of and knock hole in the
wall. 1t was only Last winter that
we saw an old elm perform this very
feat. 1t was windy day. and the
tree. which was large one, broke
of short at the hole, and was thrown
so violently against the house that
several windows ard the whole of the
J tront portion OF the roof was stove In.

NJ atches.

It has been estimated that every
man, woman and child in the coun-
try uses or destroyes six matches
daily, 50 that the aggregate consump-
tlon OF our population may be set
down as 800, 900, 600 each day, or the
enormous annual aggregate of 1O9,-
600, 600, 900. These matches retail at
about 2 cents box, 200 in box. so
that the retail value Of the product
in the United States may be set
down at $40, $50, 600 and the whole
sale value at about $6, OO0,00
am told that the wood used in
the manufacture of matches is prin-
cipally white and yellow pine. In
the United States white pine is used
almost exclusively. 1t burns freely,
steadily, slowly, constantly and with
good volume of flame. The wood is
soft, straight grain, easily worked,
and it's light weight is OF no small
consequence in the matter OF trans
portation charges, which are unusu-
ally high on combustible articles.
For the best grade of matches the
choicest quality Of cork pine is used,
a variety OF white pine, the trees be-
ing large and we'll matured. A large
match company. about twelve years
ago, secured hundreds OF millions Of
feet OF choice standing cork pine
timber on the waters of the Ontona-
gon river in the upper peninsula Of
Michigan. This company now cuts
annually upward OF 30, 600, 600 feet OF
this timber. but this is by no means
oil that is used in the manufacture
OF matches in this country. Millions
Of feet more Of choice white pine
timber are bought every year and
made into matches by number of
factories under control of this cor.
poration.

Origin Of the ParasoI.
o

The origin Of the parasol is scarcely
known, SO great is it's antiquity. A
Chinese legend attributes its inven-
tion to the wife Of Lou-pan, cele-
brated carpenter in China, more
than 1000 years before Christ.
Traces of it are found along the Nile,
in the frescoes OF the tombs at Thebes
and bas-reliefs of palaces Of Memphis
and Ninevah sculptures.
1t played an important part in an
cient Greece. having been carried in
sacred and funeral professions as q
religious ceremonial as we'll as pro-
lection from the suns rays, and at
festivals of Bacchus, who. it seems,
of all the gods alone enjoyed the
privilege of the sunshade
Toward the close OF the eighteenth
century great progress was obtained
in the manufacture of small sun
shades and parasols. they being quite
light in weight and beautiful in dec
grafton. In the public gardens Of
Paris were seen parasols OF delicate
blue trimmed with silver. light green
relieved with gold. flesh tints and
scarlet Indian cashmeres with ban
giles rough or delicately carved.

from 1915 to 1880, were covered with

enhanced by the addition of blonde or

The fashionable colors then were
very light or very deep, without in

Its Value TO voars Men Discussed
BY Or. pepeW.

How much OF practical value Is to
be got from college course by a
young man about to engage in busi-
ness or profession has always been.
and will continue to be, mooted
question.
It is generally understood that
Chauncey M. Depew believes In the
modern university. and that ne Is In
about as close sympathy with the
college student to-day as when he
was himself a student at Yale. But
while Mr.. Depew believes that the
college bred young man has much
the better chance In the race OF life,
still he does not consider the college
training Of these times altogether
faultless.
In q recent Interview in the New
York Herald Mr.. Depew says
Gin one respect the graduates OF
1896 are far behind those Of 1853.
Few of the boys who will leave col.
lege this year will be good takers.
They may be as good thinkers as
those who were gradually four de-
cades ago-better, for all / know.
They may be able to grasp business
and scientific problems as readily,
but they will not be nearly so capa-
BILE OF telling what they know or
what they think as the older chaps.
Why Because Of the decline OF the
debate as a means of training. There
were debating societies In college
when I was student, and all the
brightest men belonged and took
part in the discussion. Nowadays
few college students would think OF
STOPPING so low as to belong to de-
batting society or Of engaging in a set
discussion of any problem. regard
this as national calamity, which.
however, is mitigated to some extent
by the fact that. while the debating
club has been practically abandoned
by the college boy, it has been taken
up by the workingman. who. by it's
use, as he could by no other means,
is clarifying his mental vision as to
certain matters.
las to the advantage of a college
training in everyday business and
professional life," Mr.. Depew went
on, there is to say, in the aggregate,
indeed, great many OF them, who
seem to get through life as well
without the knowledge and training
acquired at college as il q full
course had been taken. Yet it is
my opinion that these men, even
those of marked success, would have
done better had they been college

And help them bear the burden OF earth's

And fervently. these faithful friends shall

Keep thou thy watch DER others, and

Whate'r thy lot, perfect peace will fill

And earth shall seem the anteroom OF
