WOMEN AND THE VIOLIN.
The Concert Stage is Open to Them
Naturally the Best Instructors.

Maud Powell contributes an article
upon Women and the Violin, in Feb
ruary Ladies' Home Journal, in which
she practically discusses the study Of
the queen of musical instruments, and
tells in comprehensive detail how to
undertake and successfully pursue the
work, especially urging the violin to
the attention of women who seek a
musical career. Being a performer OF
conspicuous ability and prominence,
Miss Powell's article presents, probably
summary of her own personal ex-
perience, and is, therefore, of spec u
value. After defending the claim th-t
women have shown that they Can
master the violin she asserts that they
"are daily becoming more serious in
their motives, more earnest In making
their studies something to outlast their
girlhood. 1t Is to De expected that the
near future will see women awaiting
themselves more and more of the OPP
portuntties which are before them as
violinists. The concert stage Is as
open to them as to women singers. The
field of instruction Is naturally theirs,
as they are usually more sympathetic
and conscientious than men, and they
possess, moreover, an intuition ma
ternal in its nature, In the treatment of
young minds and in the imparting to
them the rudiments of any art or
science. Their art opens, thus, various
professional doors. For those women
to whom it Is merely a delightful ac-
ccmplishment their are may be of as
perfect proportions and development
as Is their love for it,"

THE SEA AS A MOTOR.
Sailor Prices Novel Method of Propell-
ing a Freight Steamer.

George W. Price, a sailor who during
the more than thirty years he has fol-
lowed the seas has twice sailed round
the globe, and who was second mate OF
the ship Benjamin f. Poole, has been
studying how to utilize the forces of
the ocean so as to obtain means of
motive power for craft at sea, says the
New York World. He would use a
swinging cargo attached to air com
pressers in such manner that every
motion of the vessel, however slight,
whether pitching or oscillatng from
side to side, would act to compress air,
which. being conveyed to an ordinary
upright boiler, would quickly exert suf-
ficient pressure to start the engine, and
the propeller or twin screws would
revolve and send the craft over the
waves.
A working model about seven feet
long, with but a two-inch working
piston for each of the compressers, was
recently put 10 a test in the waters or
Narragansett bay. SO promising was
the trial that company was formed
and capitalized for $250,000.
The device may be placed in any
vessel, barge or steamer at compar-
atively small cost. 1t is claimed that
the great utility and saving will recon-
mend it to the attention of those ELI
gagged in the freight business upon the
sea. No speed is claimed for the device
by Mr.. Price above from five to nine
miles per hour, but as it would be con-
tinuous night and day this is considered
equivalent to the speed of a freight
steamer, which consumes from twenty
five to forty tons of coal a day, besides
saving the time consumed to replenish
the bunkers at coaling stations. With
the Price device a vessel could start
from Norfolk and go to Hong Kong
without the consumption of a bushel of
coal while on the ocean. When in
smooth water, in harbors or rivers, or
entering or leaving port, the same
boiler which has been used as the air
reservoir could be used to get up steam
sufficient to make landing, thus do
ing away with the use of tug, which
is now a necessary and a considerable
expense. The system invented by Mr..
Price has been patented.

SWEET POTATO WHISKEY.

J.. w. Grow has small bottle OF
sw eet potato whisky that is very
interesting commodity in this section
of the country and not a familiar one
to the world at large.
The liquid is crude and white, as
all new whisky is, but it is the genuine
old stuff and not counterfeit.
Among the homeseekers who have
been to this section lately was Mr.
Hansburg, a German, who is skilled in
the distillation of spirits. When he
saw how abundantly sweet potatoes
were raised in this section of the
country it occurred to him that he could
distill whisky FROM them. Several
bushels of sweet pots toes were shipped
to him and soon Mile Brown received
a half gallon of swett potato whisky,
AS result of tho success OF the
scheme arrangements are being made
to distfll the liquor for commercial
purposes.
If the residue can be converted into
starch the sweet potato will soon be-
come one of the most valuable products
of southern soil.-Augusta Chronicle.

TRIP TO THE NORTH POLE.

The start will be made some time in
July or at the beginning of August
from Norskoarna, a small rocky and
snowy archipelago situated on the
northwestern coast of Spitsbergen, and
the most accessible part of this famous
territory. Norskoarna is almost un-
der the eightieth parallel, and although
sad and even grim in aspect, this re-
mote spot will prove convenient sta
ton for the departure, as the distance
to the north pole is only about 600
miles. Mr.. Andreeh balloon, which
will be called The Northern Pole, is to
be made of triple French vanished
silk, having a resistance of $50 pounds
to the linear inch. 1t contains 100000
cubic feet. and has lifting power of
more than 10000 rounds. Besides the
car and it's three occupants-MeSsrs
Andree, Ekholm, and Strindberg-the
balloon will be supplied with scientific
apparatus and 1000 prepared photo
graphic plates, in charge of DR.. Strind-
berg. The Northern Pole will not
carry sand for ballast, but use its large
quantity of stores for throwing out in
case of need. At Norskoarna the bal
loon can be kept waiting any length of
time for favorable wind. Held in
place by sixteen tackles attached to the
rocky soil, and connected by system
of ropes and pulleys with the whole
netting, it can laugh at all efforts of
the strongest gale, and remain there
for weeks ready for immediate des-
patch.
Mr.. Nils Ekholm, the celebrated me-
teorologist of Upsal university. will
give the signal for the departure of this
fearless expedition. This signal will
not be given until Mr.. Ekholm finds
northern breeze blowing briskly and
with all signs of permanency-a fire.
quent occurrence, however, in those
regions and in such season. AS a
professional aeronaut l may be al
lowed to say that Mr.. Ekholm will not
be mistaken in his representations,
and that, once started, Mr.. Andree's
aerial craft will be carried away for
hours in the direction of the north pole.
It would be almost unreasonable to
hope that the aerial travellers will float
will float exactly above the foremost
point of our globe from the tropics. 1t
would be enough for Mr.. Andree to
make such a nearing as would enable
him to bring back to civilization hun
dreds or thousands of photographs re-
cording all the features Of those unat-
tainable regions His most ambitious
desires will be wholly satisfied, l am
sure. if he obtains a clear view of the
rocky mountains that Lieutenant Peary
is said to have seen from the top of the
Greenland glaciers on a far distant
horizon. -Harpers Round Table.
