Moor to wnOm this matt er was re-

would rather work for two cents a
day than steal, was given the priv,
ilege of selling his sandwiches to

the court was rendered.

A Monster Musical Instrument.

The most gigantic harp ever con-
structed, as far as the record goes, was
that made by Veritan, the provost OF
Burkli, near Basel, Switzerland, III
1887. That was long while ago, but
the fame of NJ Veritan's gigantic
harp was such that it is still occasional
" mentioned by writers on the rare and
the wonderful, just as the sea serpent,
bloody rain, live mastadons, etc., are.
M. Veritan's colossal musical instru-
ment was $40 feet In length, and, on
that account, was constructed in an open
lot instead Of in harp factory. 1t was
most simple in construction, consisting
of 10 wires strung tightly between two
poles. These wires were OF different
sizes, the largest being one-sixth OF an
inch in diameter and the smallest one
twelfth of an inch. They were stretched
north and south and inclined In such a
manner as to form an angle OF from ~
to 80 degrees with the horizon. This
queer instrument was not intended as
an exaggerated toy, but was constructed
for the express purpose Of foretelling
changes in the weather, which were
calculated by Professor Veritan accord
ing to the different tones the instrument
made when the wind was blowing
through it.-St. Louis Republic
