points there is no change in the de-

The University of jena this year cele-
brates its three hundred and fiftieth an
niversary. 1t was founded in 1547 by
Prince Johann Friedrich, who, having
lost his own University of Wittenberg,
together with his personal liberty, at
the battle of Muhlberg. took the first
steps toward the foundation of jena.
Its first professor was Melanchthon, Luz
theirs friend, but he resigned the same
year in consequence of religious dissen-
sions. The first score of students came
from Wittenberg, and their numbers
grew SO fast that their manifestations
of joy when, few years afterward,
their prince was liberated were enough
to precipitate first class town and
gown riot. As consequence the towns
folk refused to harbor the students any
longer, and it took the intercession of
the prince to appease them.

The Piano of the Future

No more hammers in pianos. The OLD
fashioned method Of pounding music
out of wires by the aid of wonderfully
complicated system of levers and keys,
which all the world thought to be the
ultimate perfection for the production
Of that sort Of tone, has been branded as
a back number.
DR.. Richard Eisemann of Berlin, for
years pupil Of Professor Won Helm
boltz, has patented system which does
away with the levers entirely He calls
this new appliance the eleotrophonio
piano, its distinctive principle consist
ing in the fact that the vibrations of
the chords are not produced by ham
mers, but by an electric current and by
means Of microphones acting as inter-
rupters of currents.
All the delicate and complex mechan-
ism of the old piano is done away with.
The little electric devices are arranged
ON the crosspiece extending over the
strings Upon this electric magnets are
placed so as to be only hairs breadth
from the strings.
Pressing down the key sends the cleo
trio current into the corresponding cleo
tromagnet. This attracts the metallic
string below, but the microphone inter
rupts the current and Herewith the at
traction. The string returns to its for
mer place, and this continued attraction
and interruption of the current are carr
ried Old, the number of vibrations being
regulated by the pitch of the string.
The high sounds produced by this
method have decided harp tone, and
the lower and middle registers suggest
the cello or the organ. In reality, the
installation of this new system creates
new instrument, so different are the
qualities of sound produced by the new
method and the old.-New York Jour

Commercial law terms are not entire
ly safe at all times; John E. WaTous,
deputy United States marshal for the
southern district of Kansas, sends in
this story:
Mart Hoover years ago, when Kansas
was not the cultivated commonwealth
it has since become, had sent oonsign-
ment of corn to a commission merchant
In Kansas City. The merchant tele-
graphed, telling the consignor: Your
credit is &27. 40. Draw ON me at sight. I"
But Hoover was mad. He had ex-
pected his money, and none came. He
felt he had been duped. and he treasured
up the grievance. One time, about six
weeks later, the commission man came
to Hoover's town, got out of the bus
and started to walk down street. Hoo
yer saw him and instantly drew his re-
volver and fired. His eye was fairly
good. The bullet cut away the mer-
chants neoktie and unfastened his COL
lar.
Then Hoover put up his gun.
"That's expensive shootin, said he,
"but reckon you re as sorry as am. !"
What do you mean?" demanded the
town constable, arresting the gun man.
HE told me to, " said Hoover, sur
prised.
