DIR. BAKERS ECHO.

For some time the occupants of front the corner of Seventh and Plum streets, Cincinnati, have marveled at an echo which has seemed to follow the pulpit utterances of the rector, the Rev. Frank Woods Baker. At every morning service when Dr. Baker preached there was heard 8 strange murmur, as of repetition of what he said. It has been discovered that the '.unco' queer sounds are due neither to any defect in the acoustic properties of the church nor to any supernatural cause On the contrary, the supposed phenomenon is attributed to the most natural of causes, since it arises from the universal desire of man to have his speech preserved. Stationed just be- hind the pulpit is a graphophone, into which one of the lay rectors repeats the sermon, sentence by sentence, as it falls from Dr. Bakers lips. It is not intended that the congregation shall be auditors of this unique addition to the regular service, but as the Rev. Dr. Bakers delivery is somewhat rapid at times the young man at the talking machine is liable, in order to keep pace, to accompany the efforts of pr. Baker by an increased mystery of the double | delivery which has been source of speculation. Dr. Baker does not write his sermons, but speaks from notes, and has hit upon this original method of recording his discourses as they are l delivered in the pulpit. They after ward are written out at the dictation of the graphophone.- Orego- rian.

THE SINGLE TAX FI4SCO

So much happened in the recent cleo
 tion that there have not been time and space to notice it all. Not the least in
 teresting of the "side shows" was the single tax campaign in Delaware and it's result. The single taxers fixed on Delaware as the best State for their and then show the rest of the Union how fine a thing the single tax was
 The campaign was a most vigorous one City and country, towns and vil- lages, were preached to, canvassed and "educated" For month in and month out contributions of money were sup piled, both from single-taxer in other States and from those of Delaware, to support the speakers and to send liter ature among the people. The small farmers, the poor fruit and vegetable truck men, the negroes, were approach ed, both openly and covertly, with the object of winning them over One of the incidents of the struggle was the "martyrdom'' of some of the agitators. That episode was made much of by the friends of the cause. The Dover au- thorities were excoriated from one end of the State to the other for not per hitting the leaders in the campaign to enjoy free speech. The country people especially were asked to give the sin gle-t a flair show" After the imprisonment of the offenders, one of whom, having been taken i'll, died in jail, the campaign took on a highly sen sational character The country peo- pie were importuned to safeguard their liberties by rebuking the decision of the courts. Much sympathy was expressed with the family of the dead from every quarter, and was voiced so strongly that it was generally assumed to be- speak strong vote for single tax uom- inees at the election.

RUNS THROUGH THE WATER.
A Novel Trolley Road From Brighton
 to Rottingdean, England.

A Novel Trolley Road From Brighton
 to Nottingham, England
 In a few days the new electric rail- way between Brighton and Rotting- dean will be opened, when visitors to London -by-the-sea will be afforded pure sea air and practically short voyage without the discomforts of sickness.
 A rapid and convenient mode of tram sit between busy, bustling Brighton and quiet and charming Rottingdean has long been a desideratum, as travelling in char-a-banes is not quite the most convenient method of getting about especially in wet weather The new line extends from the Paston place to Nottingham, a distance of two miles, seven furlongs.
 At high water of spring tide the deep est portion of the line, therefor will run in fifteen feet of water-that is to say, the rail level will be fifteen feet below water level
 The rails are laid in pairs, and the car is a structure on sixteen wheels each thirty three inches in diameter, carry ing the passengers at height of twenty four feet above the level of the rails. At the bottom of each leg is placed a ''bogie truck" having four wheels, the outside of the bogie being shaped like an inverted double-ended boat, to facilitate its passage through the water, and also to remove any Instructions from the rails. How effective these bogie trucks are may be gathered from the fact that when Majors Marindin and Cardew, of the board of trade, went down to Brighton, the other day to test the new line, all the obstacles that they put on the rails failed to have any effect on the stability of the car. The main deck appurtenances and creations are carried out exactly as if for a steam yacht, and measure fifty feet in length and twenty two feet in width. The engineer of the line, MT. St George Moore, has no fears as to stability of the car.
 The structure on which the actual car is placed is of great strength, although offering but small surface to the force of the waves. The total accommodation of the car is from 100 to 150 passengers. As the journey is short, and will be undertaken chiefly for the sea air, the speed will only be between six and eight miles an hour.
 Although the most violent gales ex- perienced for many years occurred dur ing the winter of 1894-5, no damage whatever was done to the permanent way, so the fact that 1t possesses ample strength to resist the force of the sea has been demonstrated in a satisfactory manner.
 The diving machinery consists of two thirty horse power electric motors, placed vertically immediately over two of the main legs, one on each side of the car. The current at 500 volts is conveyed to the car by means of a trolley pole and overhead wire.-London Minute.

SEAL B0EFGRAIN ADV. tritionl has been carried on in connection with the Agricultural Experiment Stations which had their beginning in Germany in 1851 and in the United States in 1875.

In Europe the number of such Agricu1- tura1 Experiment Stations is now over one hundred, and in the United States the number is some fifty-fve. The an- nua1 expenditure of these stations is, ill round numbers, one million dollars. Over six hundred persons are employ ed, directors, chemists, and the like.
 In these stations they study the cu1- ture of the soil, growth and diseases of plants and the nutrition of domestic animals and man.
 In 1895 Governor Coffin of this state recommended the legislature to grant an appropriation, which they did, for the investigation of food economy Half the income of the bread winners of Christendom is spent for food.

THE DEAFNESS OF WHITE CATS

THE DEAFNESS OF WHITE CATS.
 Though I had often heard of it, never was fully satisfied that all white cats are naturally deaf until recently" /" said scientific gentleman, who devotes considerable of his time to experimenting with the lower order of animals. T was aware that Professor Bell, in his orgi- nal experiments in connection with the telephone had ascertained and started that his experience with white cats was that they were all either deaf or very deficient in hearing, and that other ex- perimenters in the same direction had reached similar conclusions. To satisfy myself I recently secured in all twenty three white cats and experimented on them, one at a time.
 Tn every case I found them stone deaf In carrying the experiment fur tller found that white dogs and white horses are deficient in hearing, and that many of them are entirely deaf. So are white rats and white mice. I am con-

Substitutes for High Grade Velvet.
 Very few of the beautiful velvet coats and capes now displayed are made of genuine velvet for fhe genuine article should never be exposed to any but the most protected wear. If you are purchasing, the salesman will tell you that in buying the silk velvet you are paying for the back, at the same time, if he sees you incline to it, he will add that the silk gives beautiful hang" to the ma- terial, aids in moulding it to the sur face fitted and adds to the durability. Another recommendation is that the pile of the all silk velvet is short and close.

It is stated that the majority of the young men taking the State university course in Minnesota are working their way through college. This can prob ably not be said of the students at any other college in the country. It is a noticeable fact also that the majority of those taking honors at the Minne- sota university have depended upon their own efforts for an education, al though that is true in more or less degree of all colleges. The work of the Minnesota boys is largely of a menial character, few finding the opportunity to teach. One among the leaders of his class in the law department is doing housework. Several work in stables, and others serve as janitors of church. es and other buildings. An account of yearly receipts and expenses by one of these janitor students is instructive and illustrative of what endeavor can do and of the small cost at which a college education can be obtained.

Conyicts in the penitentiary at Co., Iumbus, Ohio, are hereafter to be di- Eided into three classes, according to their good or bad conduct as prisoners, and each mans grade is to be made manifest to all beholders by a special uniform. When first received each convict will be dressed in a suit of cloth woven in large checks. If he vio- dates any prison rules he will be made to wear the ordinary convict garb with Horizontal stripes. but if his good con duct continues for six months his vir- tue will be rewarded by permission to dress in garments of plain gray, so much like those of honest men that he could pass along the streets without attracting any particular attention, With these good behavior garments will go a certain relaxation of disci- pline and 8 few privileges that are call culated to make prison life more or less endurable. It is expected that this plan will produce good effects of sev- eral kinds on the men, and the results of the experiment are awaited by pen ologists with much interest.

tage of silk velvets along with their own, but even home manufactures, if carefully chosen, will serve.
 The trimming of the dress in to-day s picture was domestic velvet and it's royal blue made a very rich trimming for the grey dress goods. The skirts fire mt panel was indicated by narrow rows of the velvet, and the back breadth was deeply pleated Similar trimming was used on the boleco jack ct, and in parallel lines marked out a second rever, smaller than the wide, plain one. Sleeve caps, belt and the collars lining were blue velvet, A handsome blue velvet hat accompanied this gown.
 In selecting see that the fur runs the same way front and back, and that way should almost invariably be down, so that by passing the hand front the collar of the garment down the fur is smcothed. Wool seal is not a dressy fur but it wears forever. Women were all rather shy of it when it appeared three years ago, especially as it was made up then in only the cheaper cut of cape, but those who purchased them know that the fur wears like iron, al- ways looks fresh and is very warm. If you can get one, and they began to be offered last year, wool seal cape of handsome cut, is worth it's price. The cost is about the same as that asked for the French seal and the wool will wear to or three seasons. Wool is an ugly name for it, and it isn't wool, but fur with a rich dark brown color and glossy long hair at the surface. FLORETTE.

A Paris photographer has been doing some queer things with the camera aided by a combination of mirrors, which makes it possible to take pie lures of people and animals in almost every position and combination of po- sitions that it is possible to imagine. For instance, the photograph of a young man is shown with the head of a young woman taken in heart shape upon his bosom, not fat, as though stamped on skirt front, but apparently as much part of him as his own head. Another freak picture shows E. woman dressed as though for a ball. with the bare arm of man thrust through her body, the mans hand grasping a sword dripping with blood.
