a Scientist Has Shown That Their Vi
brntiOns Are Not Dangerous.
Nothing terrifies the average person
who ascends one of the higher stories
of n modern skyscraper more than TO
feel the building tremble beneath him.
1t is comforting to know that Prof.
Wilhelm Ritter, of Zurich, has demon
strated that there is no danger at all,
and that the architects theory TO that
effect is absolutely true. 1t has been
shown that the greater actual vibra-
tion which takes place is one-thirty-sec-
ond of an inch.
Prof. Ritter calculated that there was
no better way to test the actual effects
of what the architect calls the legiti-
mate vibration, than to experiment
with a regulation bell tower. In Zu-
rich there is a tower of this descrip
ton, which is 39h meters, or about 130
feet high. This tower is as firm, so
far as structure and foundations are
concerned, as the ordinary skyscrapen
1t contains five bells, ranging in
weight from 425 to 3,43O Kilograms, OF
from $40 to $500 pounds. The vibra-
ton of the tower when the bells were
rung would, Prof. Ritter thought, be
its maximum, because of the combined
effect of sound and motion. 1t is a
singular fact that the ringing of the
light bells produced greater oscillations
of the tower than the heavy ones, show
ing that the vibrations caused by the
higher octaves were greater than those
resulting from the heavier tones.
It is proved, therefore, that what the
skyscraper must fear is sound, rather
than actual motion. and the dull
roar of machinery has less vibrating
power than the high notes produced by
say, a circular saw or some machinery
that gives something of the same sound
when in motion.
In the Zurich experiment the hori
zontal oscillations of the tower were
elliptical in shape and variable in size
those produced by a bell of .45O pounds
swung SO times a minute. being at q
maximum of SO millimetcrs long
and pa millimeters wide, the long
est axis being in the direction Of
the bell. When the five bells were runl
at once the elliPse had a maximum ma
! jor axis of SIS millimeters and a minor
axis of "A millimeters. The bells wer,
swung from As to 81 times a minute
while the tower oscillated quite uni
formly at an average of 1GO times {
minute.-N. Y. Herald.

FUTURE OF THE HORSE.
Heavily Increased Production In
the West
Eject on Values of the Growing Use
of TrOIIeys and BicycIes-En-
cOurnging Outlook for
breeders.

The department of agriculture has
issued a statistical report showing the
numbers and prices of farm animals in
the United States on January /, 1897.
1t is especially interesting and valuable
In regard to the horse-breeding indus
try, which in the last few years has
taken a downward course and continues
10 be much disturbed. This state of af-
fairs is usually attributed to the rapid
introduction of the trolley and the BIZ
cycle, but the figures submitted by the
department prove these to have been
but minor causes. Most of the decline
in prices is due TO the heavily increased
production of horses on the newly
opened ranges of the west, and the fa-
cilities afforded for handling the traffic
by the transcontinental lines of rail-
way. The world has never before seen
so large a region suddenly made avail
able for horse-breeding. Between the
years 1889 and 1893 the number of
horses in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado,
New Mexico and further west, increased
from 1,470,76s to 1879, ,632, OF about one
third. The surplus was shipped to out
side markets.
In the year 1866 the average price OF
horses in the United States was S59.s6.
From 1889 to 1889 the average. price
ranged between $TO.59 and $74.64, the
latter price having been reached in 1884.
BY 1892 the average was SG5.O1. The
rapid decline set in after 1898, in which
year the average price was S61.22. The
figure in 1894 was $47.s3; in 1895, 5000;
in 1896. $33.07, and in the beginning OF
the present year. S31.51. On western
ranges the prices are about the lowest
on record. The average price of a
horse there is but two-fifths of what il
was in 1854, and of mules less than one
half In some parts of the range coun-
try horses are rated at 50 a head. They
have even been given away, or shot to
save pasturage. Cheap western horses
have reduced breeding in the east and
south, and it is we'll known that their
quality is inferior to that of the horses
displaced.
AS to its future the department of
agriculture takes an encouraging view,
and gives the reasons for it. Since 1898
the number Of horses in the western di-
vision has declined from 1,972,523 to
1,626,4O2. or nearly IS per cent. Our
foreign exports of horses have grown
from 5000 a year prior TO 1893 to 2s,00C
in 1906. The horse has lost much of its
value as a product in western breeding
areas. and they will be devoted to in
dustries that will pay better. An i'm
proving demand is reported for the bet
ter class of horses, especially young
ones, for draft and driving purposes
The department expresses the belief
that 1.-The depression in the horse mar
ket has already passed its lowest
point" Probably there is no direction
in which the breeder can look for bet
ter prices more hopefully than in that
of good quality. At all events, the mar
ket for cheap horses Of poor quality is
greatly overstocked.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

THE SONS OF PRESIDENTS.

A great deal of interest has been
expressed through the columns OF the
press recently on the standing of our
honorable ex-presidents' sons as claim
ants for governmental appointments.
Alan Arthur, son OF President Chester
A. Arthur, was candidate for envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary to the Netherlands to succeed
William E. Quinby. Young Mr.. Arthur
lived in England and France the
greater part OF the time since his IA
theirs death. He arrived in America
soon after President Mckinley was
elected. Colonel Frederick ID. Grant,
son OF General Ulysses S. Grant, did
not have much luck with the Mckinley
administration. Harrison made him
minister to Austria, and he was cam
didate for reappointment to that dip
lomatic post. So was Nanny Logan
3 (young John A., son OF General John
A. Logan, the ce-presidential candi-
date on the Blaine ticket in 1884 Mrs.
John A. Logan lives in Washington,
and she brought powerful Influences to
her sons support, but President Nc
Kinlcy declined to appoint either Col
onel Grant or young Logan. Colonel
Grant then refused the place of assist
ant secretary of war offered to him by
the president
Ex-President Cleveland has no sons
for future Democratic presidents to re-
ward Robert T. Lincoln was a cabinet
officer and minister to England, and Is
now a prosperous lawyer in Chicago
The latter certainly merited the conf.
dence President Harrison showed in
him, as well as did Colonel Grant, but
we fail to see any reason what
soever why the sons Of presidents have
any more right TO precedence in high
salaried public service than the sons
OF veterans.

In Persia Originated
"In the Kingdoni of the Shah. I" by DR..
Teacher Collins, the author tells of the
origin Of winemaking in Persia 1t was
during the reign Of King Jamsheed that
the vineyards Of Shiraz, as today, were
noted for the superlative quality Of the
grapes they produced on account of the
variations Of temperature-th intense
cold Of winter and extreme heat Of sum-
mer-to which they were subjected.
King Jamsheed was exceedingly fond
Of Shiraz grapes, and in order to enjoy
them throughout the year conceived the
idea of preserving them in jar. Fer
mentation, Of .&ourse, took place, and
when the jar was opened and found to
contain n quantity of acid liquid it was
looked upon as poison by the king. He
such. On certain occasion one of his
female favorites, who was sorely afflict-
ed with a nervous headache, discovered
the bottles marked poison" and swal-
lowed the contents of one in the hope Of
putting an end to her life. The effect,
however, was to throw her into deep
sleep, from which she awoke much be-
freshed. The result was 50 delightful
that she frequently repeated the dose I'M
til all tho supposed poison was con-
sumed.
The king, who missed the bottles,
caused inquiry to be made, and the Sc
cret of their disappearance was revealed.
This led TO the manufacture of wine
from Shiraz grapes, which to this day is
known as Zeher-e- -Khoosh. OF "the de-
lightful poison. The laws Of the Koran
against the use Of spirituous liquors are
generally very rigidly observed, particu-
larly among the poorer classes DR.. Col
lins says that he never saw an intoxicat-
ed Mohammedan, even among the cha
vadars. men who do the most laborious
work Unlike their western prototypes,
who cannot exist without beer or spirits,
they refresh themselves only with q suck
at q hubble bubble pipe or a cup Of very
strong, sweet, hot tea in either the
sweltering heat of summer or tho in
tense cold of winter. Tipping in Persia
is confined exclusively to the richer
classes and indulged in only in the &C.
clusion Of the anderan. The Persians
make two sorts OF wine, red and q
white. The:latter contains an excess Of
alcohol and is in greater fsvor with
those who indulge in secret drinking.
Arrack, crude, fiery spirit, is likewise
distilled. 1t is probable that when
Persia has railroads and tho vineyards
of Shiraz become accessible, tho superior
quality of the grapes for winemaking
will attract the attention of western
manufacturers.

THE EFFECT OF STAGE REALISM.
Since young Temple Crozier was ac-
cldentally killed on the stage of a
London theatre last Autumn, a number
OF more or less accidents has followed,
Including the killing OF an actor by a
stab during the progress of a play in
one OF the Balkan towns, and the death
Of Castlemary behind the scenes Of the
Metropolitan Opera House.
Now an actor has lately gone crazy
on the stage in England. 1t was John
Wilmot who played the role of Abra-
ham in Isabel Pateman's production oi
Leah" The actor had begun to be-
have in a very peculiar manner at the
commencement OF the play. But he
did not show any marked signs OF de-
mentia until in a certain scene of tn,
play. where he was supposed to DC
killed by the thrust of a dagger. But
the actorrefused to die,and struggled in
stead with the player acting the part
OF Nathan. He was gotten off the
stage before the audience noticed hi.
condition, and his insanity was so seri
GUS that he was sent to an asylum i'm.

TO change his stage costume. Another

tion Of playing a part which required
him to engage in very realistic hand
