How far can the human voice be
heard, asks the Washington Path
finder? 1t all depends on the condi-
tions. If we had pneumatic tube
from here to London, perfectly
smooth inside, it is probable our
''smart set" could acquire the correct
Bow Bells cockney dialect Eat first
hands without ever going abroad for
it. A mans voice calling "Bob" was
recently heard for distance of eight
cen miles, through the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado. The walls of the
deep gorge confne the sound waves
like closed tube. Lieutenant Foster
reports that, when in the Arctic re-
gions, he conversed with o man at the
distance OF $685. feet, or about a mile
and q quarter. 1t is recorded that at
Gibraltar the human voice has been
heard ten miles. When there are no
trees, hills or other distractions to
difuse the sound, as in the Arctic re-
gions or on the water, the voice, Of
course, has good opportunity to be
transmitted afar. In water it is prob
able sounds might be still farther
heard. Colladon, by experiments in
Lake Geneva, estimated that a bell
rung under water at sea could be
heard sixty miles. Every boy knows
that when his head il under water, two
stones cracked together by another
boy make sound that is painfully
acute. franklin found that he could
hear this sound under water for a dis
lance of half mile, whereas in open
air it would have been lost at q dls'
tance Of few rodE.

Badger Dog for His Pet.

At the foot of the middle butte Of
the Sweet Grass Hills in Montana
lives a miner named Byron Banner.
He is practically a recluse, seldom
associating with any neighbors or
even talking to them. He works his
claim all alone, and no one knows
whether he is rich or poor.
Like most rec1uses he has his pet
but Banners pet is so uncommon,
even unnatural that it deserves to be
put on record. This pet, says the
Dupuyer Acantha lis a badger-dog
The animal is small and has the feet
and legs Of a badger while the body
resembles a dog.
Its claws have to be trimmed every
few months, as they grow out of all
proportions to the foot. When it
walks it has the peculiar waddle of
the badger It's bark is somewhat
similar to that of the lapdog 1t will
bite savagely when leased, but is
otherwise perfectly docile.
A cross between a wolf or coyote
and a dog is not uncommon, nor is il
so much of a freak, since they belong
to the same family. But a cross be
tween different families, as the dos
and badger, is something for natural
lists and evolutionists to think about.

As Thomas P. Wood, a resident Of
Brooklyn, was crossing Park row, New
York City, on crutches one day in
March, 1894, one of his crutches
caught in a small hole in one of the
manhole covers used by the Third
Avenue Gable Railroad Company. He
fell and was severely injured. He
sued the company in the Supreme
Court in Brooklyn and recovered a
verdict of $4,000, which the trial Judge
set aside on the ground that the COM
pany could not be held liable for such
accidents. The case was appealed,
and the general term reversed the rul-
ing and directed the recovery of the
verdict. Justice Pratt, who writes the
decision, holds that the public high
way is made for people on crutches as
we'll as others, and that if railroad
company leaves a hole in the street
large enough to admit the point of q
crutch and thereby injury is occa-
stoned to person on crutches it is Ii
able for such injuries.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe is well in
formed on the subject Of tho Turkish
massacre of Christians in modern
times, and writes to a Boston paper
giving the figures collected by her
husband and herself. During her own
lifetime nearly one hundred thousand
Christians have been murdered by the
Turks. In 1922 a Turkish army killed
$4,000 Greek Christians on the Island
of ohios and sold into slavery $4,000.
This is the largest single item, but, rs
> matter of fact, the slaughter has
been almost continuous.

Mr wilson's rab,..

There is man in Utah, John R. viii
son by name, who has played trick on
most of the governors of the different
states and who is now about to reap the
benefits thereof. He wrote to these
different governors. asking each one for
piece Of wood, of historical antece-
dents If possible, the same to be used in
the construction of table for the use
of the new governor of Utah in his Off
cial capacity. The governors re-
sponded generously and Mr.. Wilson's
table contains. among other things, a
piece Of the Charter Oak" a bit of
William Penn's house, slice off of the
frigate Constitution and other choice
bits Of timber. The table has been
completed and now Mr.. Wilson offers it
for sale to anybody who will bid.

the man would almost be enough to
make the table valuable curio even If
there were no other associtions.

SHOT DOWN BY A NEGRO.
Two White Women the Victims of q
Worthless Husband, Who Tres TO

CHICAGO. ILL. Oct. 23.-RopertE Emery
shot his wife, Annie, and Mrs. Miller to-
night, and later fired bullet into his own
head. Emery is a negro and both the
women are white. The affair happened at
43 North Sangamon street, a neighborhood
where white and colored people mingle
together. Mrs. Emery has been support
ing her colored husband, and upon refus-
ing to do so longer has been much abused.
Tonight the two women were together in
the Miller apartments, when Emery came
in. After few harsh words he fired two
shots at his wife.
The Miller woman ran. but was brought
down with q bullet from Emery's revolt
yer. Emery then ran out of the house
and was pursued by crowd, which had
quickly gathered. He ran a number of
blocks, chased by a mob which was in
creasing all the time. When he found he
could not outdistance his pursuers he
drew his revolver and shot himself in the
head, falling Immediately to the pave

STREETCAR EMPLOYEES.
Managers Not Careful Enough
in Selecting Motormen
and Conductors.
Reading and Waiting Rooms Should
Be Established and Prizes
Given for Proficiency.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. %. - The final
session OF the fifteenth annual convention
of the American Street Railway Associa.
ton was held in the convention audi
torium building this morning. After the
installation of officers w. F. Kelley of
Columbus, Ohio, read q paper on "Se-
lection and Management of Employees"
Mr.. Kelley thinks managers are not
careful enough in the selection of motor
men and conductors. They will not buy
car or appliance without thorough
investigation, but they will employ man
offhand. A street railway employe should
possess sound judgment, and entertain
neither communistic socialistic nor an
archistic views. Mr.. Kelley thinks it un-
wise to select employees from men who
have been employed as policemen, fire.
men, steam railroad men or political ap-
pointees.
The speaker favored the giving of prizes
for proficiency. He thinks the establish
ment of com Portable reading and waiting
rooms for the comfort of the men neither
generosity nor charity, but good business
sense. 1t is more than paid for by the
superior service the men render.
At the conclusion of the discussion, the
convention adjourned sine die.
