Measured by Music.

A learned scientist has recently
shown how the velocity Of the wind
can be reckoned by noting the musica!
pitch of the sound given out when the
wind blows across stretched wire.
The principal elements on which the
calculation Is based are the diameter
of the wire ana the temperature OF the
air. The length of the wire Is imma.
terial, SO long as 1t Is not changed.
Every variation In the winds velocity
Is faithfully represented by the rising
or falling of the pitch Of the note sung
by the wire.

The principal development locally In
the coal strike was the mass meeting OF
Belmont county miners at Bellaire,
which resulted in the order closing
down all of the peddllng banks along
the river front, Some OF the mines will
be working to-day but tonight all will
be closed with the exception OF one at
Bellaire, which Is permitted to produce
enough coal TO furnish fuel for the mu-
nicipal water works.
The action taken by the Belmont min
ers was opposed by their principal lead
ers, including Lewis and Glasgow
These men fear that the possible shut
ting down OF Ohlo-slde manufactures
on account OF inability TO secure fuel
will be the cause OF great loss OF support
and sympathy from the workngmen
who are engaged In these plants The
Ohio-side public, too, which has hereto

strike, is almost solidly against this
latest move,
1t was thought that the tin workers
employed at the Laugnlln mills, in
Martins Ferry would decline to con-
tinue at work after the management
had introduced the West Virginia coal,
but at meeting of the Amalgamated

l.AMENTABLE IGNORANCE
or the Crowds that arc FIocEIng to the
IIIondyke Gold Fields.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. i6.-Mr'
Thomas Magee, well known as a con-
sentative business man and careful OBJ
server who accompanied his son to
Dyea, writes to the Associated Press
from that point to the effect that the
Ignorance displayed by the crowds who
are flocSlng to the KlondylSe fields is la
mentable. OF the four hundred pas
sengers who sailed with him on the
steamer George Elder, half of whom
were from San Francisco, not one In
twenty had any definite information as
to how to reach his destination, While
the routes were well known, the details
and conditions TO be met with are not
considered, most OF the searchers for
wealth hoping to settle all doubts and
uncertainties when they reach juneau.
Instead, however, further confusion
was created by the appalling state
ments that there were only two routes,
each Of which necessitated the encoun-
ter of almost insurmountable difficult
