ter of the note never is the same; and
that is what constitutes the difference
between all musical instruments.
In listening to the large orchestra
with it's violins, violoncellos, trombones,
tubas, and drums no one fails to recog-
nize the difference in the character of
the sounds produced by any one of those
instruments. Though the loudness of
the note may be the same, the pitch
may be the same, the difference in those
instruments lies in the quality-not one
has the same set of over-tones accom-
panying it. The difference in quality
lies in the facts already illustrated
with the violin strings. The resonators
enable us to single out the particular
strings, because each resOnator is adap-
ted to vibrate to it's particular string
and no other.
The sound given out by an organ pipe
is a composite one. One highly educat-
ed French musician could hear the over
tones up to the fourth, fifth and sixth.
This was because his ear was highly ed
ucated.
Sound may have a different pitch ac-
| cordinS to the rate of vibrations and
may differ i'm quality; that is, the fun
damental note may be the same, but the
! fundamental note in one case may be
accompanied by the twelfth octave, or
| the octave above that: while, on the
| other hand, the fundamental note MAJ
| be accompanied by only the fifth or
sixth or seventh octave, and therein the
violin differs from the piano. In one
! case the fundamental is associated with
the lower oVertones, and, in the other
! case associated with the higher over
! tones. Strip the piano and violin of
/ their overtones, and the note issuing
! from the one would be the same as
/ from the other supposing the sounding
! board is the same.

COAL FROM THE RIVER.
Extent of the Industry That Has De.
veiopcd Near Sunbury.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Many thousand tons of coal have al
ready been dug out of the bed of the
Susquehanna river in the vicinity of
Sunbury and Northumberland during
the past five years, and still there
seems to be no dminution of the sup
ply. This is at a point from fifty to
sixty miles below the mines OF the
Luzerne region and from sixty to sew
enty miles distant from the Lacka-
wanna fields. So important has the
river coal mining industry become in
the neighborhOod of Sunbury that Ira
Il. Dissinger has several steamboats,
at work scooping up the dusky dia-
monds, and other persons living near
there frequently have as high as forty
barges at work at one time. The big
| dam constructed across he river be-
low Sunbury has damned in immense
quantities of this fuel that would 9TH
erwise have been washed down stream
| toward Harrisburg.
The steamers engaged in this work
| are ACCOMPANIED by big flatboats or
sand barges, upon which the fuel is
deposited as it is hosted from the riv-
er bed by a series of elevator buckets,
|
| individuals work in a more primitive
manner. Two or three men man each
| barge and scoop the coal up with
| long handled wire nets, which allow
the mud and sand to escape as the
! operator Raises the scoop to the sur
| face of the water to deposit it's con-
tents on his barge Then a couple OF
boys pick the pebbles and sticks from
among the coal, throwing them back
into the stream. Cold weather does
not stop the work, but is rather fav-
orable to it than otherwise, as the
river is low and when frozen over
holes are cut in the ice and the minel
does not have to bother with an un-
weildy boat.
The coal is found in beds contain
ing from fifty to one hundred tons
each, and is most frequently encount-
cred in the eddies, where the particles
find lodgment to a depth of from five
to six feet. AS the workman SCOOP.

too much moisture; and it gladdens

To care for them for the winter, cut
the stalks to the ground before the
first hard freeze, mulch with forest
leaves, straw or coarse litter, and see
to it that by any chance this is not

In early spring the mulch may need
renewing, or the inquisitive heads
which push up so early to greet the
sunshine may be frostbitten.

The Montbretia.

The blossoms of this dubious plant
afford a very attractive combination
of colors, and the entire plant is
strikingly elegant.
In general character it much resem-
bles the Gladiolus, but is smaller in
all it's parts. 1t is, however, somewhat
harder than the latter. I have known
of instances in which the roots re-
manned in the ground through several
severe winters without injury. But in
these cases the site was comparative
ly warm and dry, and [ am strongly
of the opinion that a cold, wet situa-
ton would prove fatal to them in
winter.
Although the plant may be consid-
cred hardy with a thorough winter
covering of dry leaves or litter, it
gives greater satisfaction when the
roots are taken up in the autumn and
treated like Gladioli. This plan has
the advantage of affording a longer
season of bloom, for when the bulbs
are safely stored we can divide them
in lots, plant in spring at short inter-
walls and thus obtain a Towering peri
cd extending from July to October.
The bulbs that are to remain in the
ground over winter will bloom some
what earlier than any of those taken
up annually, and for this reason alone
it would be well to plant few in per-
manent quarters.
Montbretia crocosmaefOra, the
kind most commonly cultivated, is
erect in habit of growth, and about
twenty-four inches in height. The
orange and yellow flowers are borne
very freely in graceful branching
spikes, and they are admirable for
decorative purposes.
The plant is most effective when
the bulbs are arranged in masses of
six or eight and treated in this way
it has few superiors as border flow

the national floral emblem section.
Under the auspices of the Board of
Board of Women Managers ut was
hoped to make this "a powerful organ
ization. 1t was put into the hands of
manager from Kentucky. Booths
were erected, stalls opened, and the
desired emblem was fairly launched
the Tea Mays, or Indian corn. All OBJ
iections had been overruled. The new
national flower was graceful, decora-
tive, and represented great CONNER
cial wealth. However, though this
brilliant campaign in behalf of the
corn flower seemed worthy Napo-
leon, the interest in corn began to
diminish. The more assertive women
began to discover that coercion or
gag law'' had been the order of the
day. Finally the effort to suppress a
fair canvass gave rise to a well-dein-
ed and independent movement which
resulted in the formation of ''The Ma
tional Floral Emblem Society of
America"
It is this society that hopes ITO set
tie the question now once for all, and
of which Mrs. Grindley, who is re
sponsible for the foregoing state
ments, is secretary. She says the SO
ciety is formed for the purpose Of
giving every man, woman and child
in this country a chance to vote for
the national flower. It has appoint
ed "a chairman for nearly every state
in the union, who is working in com
plete harmony with the main move
ment. Several of these chairmen have
planned a state campaign and carried
it to successful issue, and also have
secured through the legislature state
legislation.
cit is the desire and hope of "a num-
Der of the members of the national
society to make the national floral
emblem consist of garland, compos,
ed of the different state flowers, thus
symbohzing the motto e pluribus
unum' (many in one). Notwi thstand-
ing this desire, the organization has
been formed with one object in view,
which is that all states and territories
may be reached, and we, as nation,
may be so Informed that we may de-

The Buffalo Express, and is OF timely
interest, following as it does upon the
recent meeting of the national flower
delegates in the south.
What shall be the national flower
of the United States? Most of the
states have selected their emblems;
but for the country ait large there has
vet been no decision beyond the
reach of appeal.
There is national society of wo-
men att work ON this very question
lust now. Mrs. Norah Gridley is the
national secretary, and she tells
something about the history of the
agitation of the subject and what the
society proposes. Some years ago
some women undertook to create a
sentiment for the pansy, she says, but
the fancy soon died out. The pansy
is an Importation, low in stature, and
of no historical significance, and it
was not enthusiastically received.
Later on Miss Margaret Harvey I'M
dertook to immortalize the arbutus,
fragrant, modest, clinging plant, and
it did receive considerable sympathy.
But the a1Ibutus makes it's home only
therefore, does not represent the en-
tire country; it is too dainty and
modest a flower, too, and not suf-
fciently effective either in color or
form.
Some years afterward the golden
rod came to the front. After an i'm
inmate acquaintance, however, the
golden rod agitation resolved itself
into a cry for deliverance from hay
fever, Influenza, and epizooty.

were embellished with this aspiring
flower. Then the tickle people took
up something else.

it's claims were $50 slight and insignif

Then came into the field another
