EIGHTEEN MILES AWAY.
The Distance the Human Voice Was
Heard in the Colorado Canon.

The Distance the Human Voice Was
Heard in the Colorado Canon.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Eighteen miles is the longest distance en-
rec ord at which a mans voice has been
heard. This occurred i'll the Grand Canon
of the Colorado. where one man shouting
the name of Bob at one end, his voice
was plainly heard at tine other end. Lieut..
Foster, on Peary's third arctic expedition,
found that he could converse with a man
across the harbor of Port Bowen, a dis
lance of 6696 feet. or about one mile and a
quarter, and Sir John Franklin said that
he ccnversed with ease at distance of
more than a mile. DIR. Young records that
at Gibraltar the human voice has been
heard at a distance of ten miles.
Sound has remarkable force in water.
Colladon, by experiments made in the Lake
of Geneva, estimated that bell submerged
in the sea might be heard at distance CT
mere than sixty miles. Franklin says that
he heard the striking together of two
stones in the water half a mile away. Over
wster on a surface of ice sound is prop
agyied with great clearness and strength.
DIR. Hutton relates that on quiet part of
the Thames, near Chelsea, he could hear a
person read distinctly at distance of 40
feet while away from the water the same
could only be heard at seventy-six feet.
Prof. Tyndall, when on Mount Bianc, found
the report of pistol shot no louder than
the Pop of a cha plpagne bottle. Persons in
balloons can hear voices from the earth
lcng time after they themselves are in
audible to people below.

THE BIGGEST OF CLUBS.
The House of Commons is the Best
and Contest Resort in the World.


FROM Chambers Journal
A member of the house of commons is al
lowed to attach to his name the magic let
tiers IN. p which are a source Of pride
and gratiEcati ton to himself and secure for
him the respect and Difference OF others.
These initials undoubtedly contribute, too.
to his social status. Doors of social circles,
hitherto locked and barred, are open wide
to him, and invitations to social functions
in the houses of the great and wealthy
members of his party reach him during the
session. Then he is member of 1.-The best
club in London" 1t is, indeed, frequently
denied that the house of commons still
maintains that pre-eminence as a social
haunt of men which it is universally ac-
knowledged once rightly belonged to it,
But, as a matter of fact the house is more
of club now than it ever has been in its
centuried existence.
1t is provided with handsome dining
rooms, smoking rooms, reading rooms and
only this year it advanced another impor-
tant stage in its continuous development
and progress as club by having a suite of
bath rooms and dressing rooms added to its
encourage. In its smoking room may be
met, in the present relaxation of chat and
gossip, not only some of the most distin-
guished men in the kingdom, but a far
greater variety of types of men than can
be encountered in the smoking room of any
club in London. Mr.. Labouchere, indeed,
has said that a couple of hours could be
passed far more enjoyably in the smoking
room of the house of commons than in the
smoking room of the Carlton or Reform
Club. 1t was the member for Northampton
also who declared that the house of COM
mons was not only one of the pleasantest,
but 'one of the healthiest places in the
world, and that he far preferred a month
on its green benches to month on the
promenade of Brighton.

Rare Collection from the Land OF
the Rising Sun to Be Exhibited Here.
Lovers of Japanese and Chinese art, Of
whom there are many in Washington, will
have rare chance to crafty their taste
next week when the private collection Of Alf.
H. Deakin. of Yokohama, will be placed on
exhibition at the art galleries of NJ. B. Lati-
mer & Co., 1229-31 G street, preliminary to

nificent specimens OF jades, crystals porce-
lains. bronzes, enamels. ivory carvings,
Meizan Satsuma, swords, sword guards.
cabinet specimens, embroideries, screens,
etc.
Almost every phase Of the art development
of the two most artistic races of Asia, If not
of the world, is illustrated in this collection,
which is the fruit of many years residence
in China and Japan, though some of the OBJ
iects have been acquired very recently dur
ing the war fever in Japan, under the i'm
pulse of which many Japanese of rank have
parted with their treasures to devote the
proceeds to patriotic purposes An example
of this is in the extraordinary display of
hrocades, purchased from the family of a
famous Dainlio. Art students will be inter-
ested also in a wonderful collection of old
japanese nrints-~and- Illustrations by the
most famous masters.
There are hundreds of specimens in the
collection, from two mammoth bronze koros
down to the most exquisite of ivory carv.
ings. and snuff boxes carved from Jade,
topaz, rose-crystal and other semi-precious
stones.
The most expensive works are to be found
among the vases. OF these the three most
remarkable are. small ones in enamel, by
Namikawa SoSuke, the court enameler of
Toxic. One is of a rich heliotrope hue, an
other of yellow merging into green, and the
other of a brilliant ruby red. Another vase
that is bound to attract attention is dainty
little peachblow five and three-quarters
inches high. still more valuable one, and
one of the gems of the collection is mag
nificent specimen of cherry red of the Kang-
hSi era seventeenth century,.

to market roosting on the cross bar under
the wagon. He paid no attention, suppos-
ing the man was guying him. But when he
stopped at the hotel and others called his
attention to four hens roosting under the
wagon, aid Just waking up. it is doubtful
which was the most astonished, Mr.. Berry
or the hens.
Two of the latter were panic-strcken and
started down Federal street. One was
caught on Temple street and the other got
down almost to Exchange street before IL
was captured. The cook at the hotel bought
the four hens for dollar and took them
home. How many hens were asleep under
the wagon when Mr.. Berry started from
home he can't tell, because his yard is
overrun with hens. but it Is very possible
that there were more than four.

On the Maine Coast,

From the e.yistOn Journal
Fishing and farming do not go well to-
gether, as the season for planting crops is
just the one when the harvest of the sea
must be gathered; consequently one sees
little cultivated land along the Maine
coast. And when for a time the sea fails
TO give up its riches, it is hard pulling for
those who depend upon its products for a
living. This is reported to be the case this
year, and a hard winter is frowning on
many of the little settlements on this coast
The fishing last summer was poor, the lob
ster season short, the demand for clans
less than was expected, and the sardine
season much shorter than usual. The cap
tain of a coaster in Portland Friday said
already, twenty families on the mainland,
not far from there, are in need of assist
ance, while on Mallayo Island things are
even worse, many people now living on
bread, molasses and fish, and suffering
from lack of sufficient clothing.

THE Strike Called on ON All the
Lines But One.

Brooklyn, N. y. Feb. l6.-At meet
ing Of District Assembly No. IS knights
Of Labor to-day it was voted to call off
the strike on the trolley railroads in
BROOKLYN, with the exception of the At
lantic Avenue Company's systems Of
lines, when are still out officially, al
though most Of the men have applied
for work on this line within the last
two days
The assembly trolley investigating COM
nafttee met this morning at 1870 o'clock
in the council chamber with Daniel T.
Lewis as the first witness. When the ses-
sion began only three members of the
executive board of District Assembly No.
! Is were resent and they were Messrs. Glib
lin. Blest, Lewis and Holcombe.
Mr. Lewis was told by Lawyer Wins
that Master Workman Connolly had said
that one Of the causes of the strike was
the violation of the ten-hour law. He
answered that his workmen never told
him anything about the law being VIC
lated Mr. Lewis said that If the Brooklyn
flights Railroad Company acceded to the
demands of the men and lived up to the
agreement they wanted made, the control
Of the company would be in the hands
Of the committee who represented the
Knights of Labor. The stockholders and
officers. said the witness, would have no
place at all and would nave TO StanO IN
the background and see the roads run by
the men. The witness. in speaking about
the tripper cars. said that they were only
used when the public demanded them. Usu-
ally in the morning and night tripper cars
we're used. The men that ran them were
paid all the way from 20 to 40 cents for
making the trip. He said that If the
tripper cars were made full the result
would be that the company would have
TO pay all the way from 50 to 81 per
day extra.
Mr.. Lewis said that he was first in
formed of the strike through his super
intendent, ]. c. Cameron At the time he
was engaged in writing a circular, which
he intended to have read to his work.
men He was told by his counsel that
Mr. Connolly had testified that there had
been no strike.
We'll" replied the witness. 81 don't
know what he calls it, but know that
there was a strike and that the men
struck before l had a chance to read to
them my circular"
Mr.. Lewis said his company was now
making contracts with the men as in
dividuals and not as members of any
labor organization. Some people insist
that the strike is still on" he said but
know that it is not. We have all our
cars running"
During the strike" said Mr.. Lewis,
$3.50 cars out of $50 were disabled. On
one line 900 panes of glass were broken.
Out of 900 cars disabled SOC are now out of
the repair shops and running. Miles of
wire had been cut" he said He thought
the damage to the company's cars and
other property would approximate 100000.
