ed on top of vertical rod. Attached to
each side of this vane is a bell-shaped
sound-receiver, from which a tube leads
downward into a cabin below deck.
The man who is using the apparatus
wears simple headgear that applies
the end of one tube to one of his ears,
and the end of the other tube to his
other ear, yet leaving his hands free
Now, if foghorn in the vicinity be To-
Gated off on the starboard bow, the ear
trumpet on the right side of the vane
will catch the sound, and the other one
will not; whereas, if the source of the
signal be on the port bow, the left ear
will get it exclusively, or else more
easily than the right. Of course, If
the sound comes from a point dead
ahead both ears viii detectit. The rod
which carries the vane may be rotated
by the observer, who can thus ascertain
the exact position which gives the right
ear the loudest noise, and then do the
same with the left ear. Having noted
these directions with precision, he
knows that the signal really comes from
direction halfway between them.
The position of an iceberg could be de-
tected in the same manner, inasmuch as
it would give an echo. When the eo-
phone was first tested the whistling of
the wind around the edges of the re-
ceivers would make noise enough to in
terfere with the use of the instrument.
Subsequently, it was found that by COW
ing the openings with thin silk that
difficulty could be overcome without
shutting out the class of sounds which
it is desirable to hear.-N. Y. Tribune.

The SCI Il@T - .Jries circulated by
a New "a ewspaper regarding
Queen Vic, las alleged blindness and
her alleged intention to abdicate in IA
vor of the prince Of Wales after the ju-
bilee festiIties,which have justreached
here by mail, are exciting great derision
among the few newspapers which have
deigned to notice the cruel and utter
ly unfounded reports. Truth, referring
20 the abdication sensation, says:
This very, very ancient flim-fam has
been imposed upon credulous prints al
regular intervals during the last 81
years. The queen has no more idea OF
abdicating than she has of touring Cen
trial Africa"
Regarding the sensation" cruelty
engineered by the New York newspaper

a high official who is in daily contact
with the queen informs the press that
the statement to the effect that Queen
vivtoria is almost totally blind is "an

TEST OF COAST DEFENSE GUM
Experts and Public Men Are Greatly
Pleased.


Government experts tested the rapid
firing 12-inch Crozier-Bufington dis
appearing gun at the proving grounds
ct Sandy Hook and all were pleased.
The gun is the largest of the disap-
pearing type ever tried in the world. It
is intended for coast defense, and is
considered to be admirably adapted for
the purpose.
Secretary of War Alger and large
party, among whom were Secretary c.
N. Bliss, of the interior department;
Gen. Flagler, chief of ordnance; Col.
Gillespie, and Gen. Merritt, chief of en-
gineers, and members of congress wit

The big gun practice took place in
the afternoon. The time of loading and
getting it ready occupied only one min
ute and fifty seconds. The gun itself
weighs so tons. With the carriage it
weighs ITS tons. 1t throws shell
weighing 1000 pounds 10 miles with
velocity of 1000 feet per second. The

Starvation and the Brain.

At prominent club recently the sub
ject of starvation came under discus
sion. After many anecdotes had been
told and personal experiences related,
specialists figures were given. Man
in starving process would die in eight
to IL days. The period depends upon
his condition at the start. In the proc
ess Of the disease 40 per cent. of the
weight of the body is consumed; %
per cent. of the weight of fat disap-
pears; of the blood, rs per cent; of
the spleen, Il; of the liver, SO; of the
heart, "A; of the bowels and muscles,
AZ; of the bones, 16; of the eyes, 10;
of the skin, SO; of the lungs, %; of the
nervous system, only 2 per cent. is
wasted" From this, he concluded that,
in starving, the brain died last.

CHEAP oUTTA PERCHA.
A Discovery of Great and Far-Reach-

ing Commercial Interest.
The demand for gutta percha is so
great that the price has steadily adj
vanced from IS cents to s1.50 per pound,
and cases have been known where $3.50
has been paid for the highest quality.
1t has been found that by a new process
it can be manufactured at cost of SO
cents per pound. The tree does not
yield gum until II years old, and If
tapped II years must again elapse be
fore gum can be collected. The tree
yields seed only at 80 years. In the new
process leaves and twigs of the tree are
dried, ground to fine powder, and
mixed with one-tenth of their weight
of caustic soda dissolved in water and
heated to boiling point. This sub
stance is placed in receptacle with
a quantity of toluene. The receptacle
is kept in boiling bath for Is minutes.
The liquor is then poured off, acetone
is added, the liquor meanwhile being
agitated. The gutta percha is soon pre-

Adiustment OF the saddle.

Experienced riders generally prefer
a saddle tilted down, as it throws them
forward into the position which gives
them the greatest power. Others are
most comfortable on level saddles, and
few like to carry them tilted up. Much
depends on the shape of the saddle. A
good many of those made this year re-
quire to be tilted downward. The per-
fectly straight attitude is not so often
seen among riders as formerly. Elk
perience on the wheel teaches that a
slight inclination forward is the natural
attitude, the most comfortable, and the
one in which the power of the legs is
most easily used 1t does not involve
bent back riding, and if it is done prop
erly should have the effect of throw
ing the shoulders back and the chest

While party of negro converts were
being baptized at the st. Johns river, 20
miles from Sanford, Fla, the other day

and one of the converts. They were
dragged under several times, but the
cloth of their gowns giving way they
were released. Several of the men on

THE DISCRIMINATING DUTY.
Interested Parties to Bring . Test Case Before
the BOARD OF Appraisera.


WARRINGTON, Sept. PA new method of
testing the applicability OF section Do Of the
Tariff law relating to the imposition OF a 10
per cent. discriminating duty, has been devised
by persons interested in having tho negative
opinion OF Attorney.Gencral Mckenna tested
in the Federal courts. 1t was believed after
Mr.. McKenna's opinion was rendered that the
only way the courts could be brought to adjudi-
cate section % would be through the action Of
some fearless collector of customs in assessing
tho discriminating duty, despite tho Attorney
Generals opinion. AS 1t is somewhat unlikely
that any collector will jeopardize his place by
going contrary to the views of the Administra-
ton which gave him office. the second method
suggested has been tried.
Interested parties whose names are not dis
closed, have filed with the Board OF General
Appraisers in New York II protest against the
nOn-asSessmcnt of the discriminating duty. 1t
Is questionable whether the protest has any
claim to consideration, as the board was
made by importers from the decisions OF GUS
toms Officers. II the board decides to pass on
the protest the appellants will have the privi-
lego OF taking another appeal, IL necessary, to
Department also has this privilege.
An attorney representing the interests that
are behind the protest has been sent to New
York to appear before the Board of General APP
praisers to argue in behalf Of granting 1t. The
protest 10 based on a cargo OF tea shipped from
Japan to Vancouver, Is. G.. and thence III bond
over the Canadian Pacific railroad to Chicago.
The action OF the Collector OF Customs at Chi
cago in not assessing the discriminating duty
on the cargo Is the basis for the protest: Sena-
tor Elkins, who Is one OF the stronges advocates
of the imposition Of tho additional duty. has
been informed that the protest has been made.
