THE EoPHoNE.
by Which the Direction of Sound May lie
Accurately Determined.

by Which the Direction of Sound May he
Accurately Determined.
Possibly there is no greater terror
among the many met with ut sea than
a fog. The helplessness of our harbor
boats and the clamor Of bells and whis-
ties during q heavy fog in New York
harbor give one some idea of this night
mare of the ocean, but when fog closes
down upon a vessel at sea the most reck-
less captain proceeds cautiously and
anxiously.
The probability Of collisions and
wrecks due to fogs has been accepted as
sort of unavoidable evil, which must
become greater as the number and speed
Of vessels increase. But the inventive
genius of man could not let such con-
dition Of affairs continue without at
tempting to do away with it, and there
has been perfected a simple instrument,
called the eophone, by which the direc-
ton from which sound proceeds may
be determined with absolute accuracy in
fog or darkness.
The simplest description of the in
strument is that it consists of two bell
mouthed sound receivers, separated by u
central diaphragm. The sound receivers
are connected to the two ears, and, when
pointed directly at a source of sound,
the noise is the same in each car. When
turned away, the sound is heard in only
one ear.
On shipboard the sound catching and
dividing part Of the instrument extends
above the top Of the charthouse. The
tubes are brought within the chart
house, and the instrument may be turned
from below to point in any desired di-
rection.
The eophone has now been perfected,
there being many points for which nu-
merous experiments, lasting over several
years, have been required, in order to
determine the best form, especially with
the sounding tubes and ear pieces. Va
rious reflnements, such as microphones
and devices adding TO the complication,
but not improving the use, have been
eliminated. -New York Herald.

Latter After the Civil War.
Entertaining papers giving reminis-
cences of 'The Lost Cause" were read
in this city at meeting of the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy. In paper pre-
pared by Mr. George Savage and read
by Mrs. d. Giraud Wright was described
the first meeting Of General Robert E.
Lee and General George B. Mcclellan,
as General Mcclellan had related the
facts to Mr.. Savage in the summer of
1928.

Horse Shedding a witness.

~ can't imagine where Senator Ell
kins obtained his authority for the ex-
PLANTATION which he gives Of the origin
Of the expression horse shedding, "
said Representative Grosvenor. "Tho
origin of this famous expression was MS
follows;
In days gone by the Ohio courts
held sessions at different county seats
at certain periods known MS court terms.
TO accommodate tho large crowds of
litigants and witnesses who would flock
in from points for miles around the
county seat when court was i'll session,
tho county authorities erected sheds
near the courthouse, where tho litigants
and their witnesses could tic and feed
their horses while they attended court,
and these sheds became known MS horse
sheds Now, owing to tho limited space
Of the courtrooms, tho lawyers. who
always Travelled with tho court, were
unable to hold private consultation
with their clients and witnesses inside
tho walls, and so they used to tako them
under tho horse sheds and there talk
matters over with them.
among the attorneys who attended
conrt ut Chester, the then county seat OF
Meigs county, on one occasion were Tom
Ewing and Samuel +. Vinton. Tho
court was ready to go on with the case
in which tho two noted attorneys were
retained as opening counsel, when 1T
was discovered that Vinton was not
present. Tho court looked carefully
around and then asked:
Where is Mr.. VintonF
"'I don't know, your honor, said
Ewing. rising to his feet He is not
here but he is probably outside horse

1.-THE remark raised general laugh,
and thereafter the word horse shedding
witness passed into popular parlance.

The author of the drama was so angry
at this that he inserted the following
notice in The Leipziger Zeitung: "a

has dared to misuse my drama, Bel
mont und Konstanze' for an opera text.
| hereby solemnly protest against this
invasion of my rights, and reserve to
myself further procedures. (Signed),

New Mexico and Arizona.
By J. M. CURNUTT.

Fierce Mars, l bid glad farewell,
And turn my back on BellOna,
To photograph in doggerel
New Mexico and Arizona.
The singing grass, the thOrny plants
And all its prickly tropic glories,
The thieving, starved inhabitants,
Who look SO picturesque in stories;
The dusty, long, hot, dreary way,
Where meath blazing sun you totter
To reach a camp at close of day
And find it destitute of water;
The dying mule, the dried up spring,
Which novel writer's seldom notice;
The song of blood mosquitoes sing,
And midnight bowling of coyotes.
Tarantulas and centipedes,
Horn'd toads and piercing mesquits
daggers,
With thorny bushes, grass and weeds
To bleed the traveller as he staggers
Why paint things in rosy light,
And never tell the simple fact, thus
How one sits down to rest at night,
And often squats upon cactus
The ''night- birds" music sweet and
clear,
Is overpictured not little,
A search might prove the enchanted
ear
The habitation of beetle.
And oft at night the sentinel
Who doing dreams Of battle,
Is reused in fright to hear the yell
Of 'Ingins" who have nipped his
cattle.
AS desert, mountain, rock and sand
Comprise the topographic features
There's little left at my command
Except to paint the living
creatures.
In point of energy and sense,
The wild Apaches are the head
men,
And so in fairness, commence
To tell you something Of the red
men.
Each mountain chain contains hive
Of these marauding sons of thund-
er,
Who, somehow manage and contrive
To live upon mescal and plundeI
From towering crags they watch the
route
Der which train is slowly creep
ing
And with a wild blood curdlne
shout,
Across the desert come they
sweeping.

they shun the fight and quickly learn
To keep most respectful distance.
The Indian tumbles when he hears
Around his head the bullets whistle, |
And most unpleasant to his ears
Is crack of carbine or OF pistol.
His choicest plan is where tie road
Goes twisting through some dusky
canon,
To squat in ambush like a toad
Surrounded by each swart COM
And when you reach :heir hiding
place,
With noise enough to freeze the
marrows,
To pour volley in your face
Composed Of harmless yells and
arrows.
But should you stand and make fight
With carbine raised from off your
saddle
The ''noble red' will take to fight,
Nor blush to think he must ske
daddle.
Too long my pen has dwelt upon
These foes to railroads, soap and
labor,
A few short years and they are gone
Beyond the reach of prayer or
sabre.
Now turn we to another race
Inhabitlng this sunny region
In calm and fearless truth to trace
! Their manners, habits and religion.
/ There is no fairer law than that
Which gives Caesar what is Caesars
! Yet this is not a land of fat
Because the people are "Greasers. "
These natives, in a Yankees eyes
Have neither virtue. braius or Wig
A most unhappy compromise
Between the Indian and the Nlg'
ger,
Their language is mongrel whine
From which the meaning seems to
vanish
Like strength from lager beer or
wine
A parody upon the Spanish.
On what they live besides the air
You may, perhaps, be interested;
they have as queer bill of fare
AS human stomach e'er digested.
They eat frijoll, carne, corn,
And on hogs intestines riot;
Tortillas, sheep head, hair and hsrn,
With chile for the favOrite diet

Pinoche, watermelon seed,
Bad.eggs, strong onions and pinole
But when they are hard up for food
They liv" upon mesquit beans
solely.
The Greaser seldom eats or drinks,
His mind is wrapped in scanty
clothing;
OF books he never dreams or thinks,
And labor is his special loathing.
But little care he ever feels
So he but apes the Spanish hero,
With monstrous spurs upon his heels
And on his head broad Sombrero
lie looks so grim and full Of fight,
You might suppose his tempr
sOured,
But danger turns him very white,
And proves the hero is coward.
He grimly growls at Gringo jokes,
Though he has not single tlaco,
With dignity he calmly smokes
His cigarette CT Dad tobacco.
/
Smoking and lolling in the shade,
Their lazy souls no thought per
plexes;
Bu3 make chimney undismayed
Out of tie noses of both sexes.
They tell thousand barefaced lies,
To all the saints appealing,
Confess their sins with fearful eyes,
Devoutly pray but keep on steal
ing.
! They go to church, believe in hell
Where their own torments must
be hot ones)
They play on fddles, ring bell,
And worship God with drums and
shotguns.
The women dress upon plan
Resembling French Zouayes or
Turcas
And thus Gods last, best gift to man
Appear bit little else than scare
crows.
With face concealed from human
sight,
And legs exposed to all that passes,
Their color varies III the light,
| Between new leather and molasses.
Upon their heads in triumph reign
Great swarms of vermin, fat and
saucy,
These rovers of the Spanish name
Cruise fearless DER on ocean glossy,
They live in novels built of mud,
Where dogs and goats at will may
wander
While sloth and filth balmy flood
In streams around the door me-
ander.
