THE ClTY'S ROAR.
How 1t May BE Notated and Used in ths
Coming Years

81 see,' said well-known musician,
'that the sun has been, publishing the
opinion of some artist fellow that each
city has its color tone. suppose he's
right; [ don't know much about red
splashes and green smears. But the
publication of that item brings up to
utterance point something that I've
had in my mind for many years, and
that is the actual tone, the sound tone,
the keynote OF cities.
"You know every sound Of nature
has its notation, whether it is the buzz
of insect life in August or the roar of
Niagara in late April. So, too, l be-
lieve that every city has its especial
sound, and that the roar of its traffic
could be erdueced to notation and individ-
ualized. l am positive that the roar of
no two cities is alike, any more than
the roar of two lions is alike.
"Of course, the roar of city differs
in depth and intensity according to the
time of the year, week, and day. The
roar of New York on Sunday morning
in August for instance, is very diff
ferent thing from that of New York on
Saturday morning in October, and
again very different from that of any
time in the dead of winter, when all
the streets are covered with snow. But
these different sounds could be cata-
logued, and herein will lie the practical
utility of the thing. Travel and war.
fare in the air are bound to come, you
know, and when they do the catalogue
of city notes will be as much of a ne
cessity as a compass and barometer.
"Take an example now. You are
travelling in ballon and the wind has
been blowing gale for week. The
captain doesn't know how much he's
out in his reconking, when he hears a
loud-booming note coming up through
the clouds. What note is that?' he
asks of the mate. The mate puts the
electro tuning pipe to his ear and hol-
lows back that is BBB fiat below the
staff. Triple D flat below the line,'
says the captain, 'and this is Sunday,
November 4. Why, that's New York.
Let out the gas there, my hearties.'
And in five minutes more you're safe
at the Central Park Aerial Landing
Enclosure. Why, sir, it's the thought
of the New York Sun.

Railroad Economy.

The Baltimore and Ohio South West
ern Railway has been experimenting
with electric motors on turntables
Turning locomotives at divisional
points and terminals is service Of
much annoyance and no little expense
to railroad companies. 1t generally
takes four men to turn locomotive,
and while they are doing so their reg
ular work is abandoned
Experiments we're made with an
electric motor on the 60-foot turn
table at Chillicothe with such success
that the Park Street turn-table IL
Cincinnati was similarly equipped. The
result has been rather astonishing in
the matter of expense. The current
was purchased from the power plant,
and it cost on an average of less than
one-half cent for each time the table
was turned When this same table was
operated by hand it cost II cents for
each engine. The yearly saving is
about $709.

WHAT is PLAGIARISM ?
Robert Louis Stevenson Lets in a Flood OF
Light ON the Question.


1t may be good news to some people
to know that a vigorous effort is being
r1ade in certain literary circles to dress
plagiarism in the robes of virtue and
call it an art rather than a crime.
Robert Louis Stevenson has made
charmingly frank confession as to the
debt he owes to Washington Irving,
Defoe, and Edgar Allan Poe. All Of
these writer's, especially the first, he
says, have been unconscious contrib
utors to his literary reputation, and he
is not alone. Ralph Waldo Emerson
says: "Originals are not original. There
is imitation and suggestion to the
archangels if we knew their history"
Mr.. I.incoln's famous remark at Get
tysburg about government OF the peo-
pie" etc, was used by Webster, and
Mr.. Clevelands desire for "public
Office" that should be a "public trust"
was first expressed in the same Ian
guage by Charles Sumner in 1872.
And Mr.. Sumner borrowed it from
Thomas Jefferson. Shakespeare said
"Conscience does make towards of us
ALL" but a Brahman who lived 1000
years before the poet said, "Guilty con-
science always makes people towards"
1t is not likely that Shakespeare ever
heard of this Brahman. He was no
doubt unconscious of his debt. But
Disraeli pronounced a funeral Grafton
over the Duke of Wellington which
had been already used by Theirs
at the funeral of Marshal Saint Cry.
Now this, of course, is plagiarism,
pure and simple, says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. But Shakespeare and
Emerson were not plagiarists, in the
commonly and rightly accepted mean
ing of the word What a man hears
or reads and really digests and mental
ly assimilates cannot be said to be pla-
giariZed. Plagiarism means placing
the bodily stolen and unacknowl-
edged fruit of another mans
brain to your own account, and L
think few honest people would agree
with Voltaire that "of all the forms of
theft plagiarism is the least dangerous
to society," Maybe it is the least dan
gerous to society, but it is certainly
the most dangerous morally to the man
himself 20 rob a man of his brains,
especially if that man be dead and
connot defend his property, is a kind Of
mental cannibalism in which the Grim.
inal adds pitiable vanityto his theft.

More Pathetic Than Humorous.

An aged couple living south of
Brazil, Ind, had devoted their three
score and ten to rural life and themak-
ing of farm, sold their possessions for
the snug sum of $4,000: When the
purchaser called with a notary to close
up the deal by taking the deed of title,
the husband having signed and passed
it to the wife, she positively refused to
sign without consideration, saying
she had spent her life in making the
farm and had never realized anything
she could call her own, and now was
her opportunity. The husband failed
to satisfy her and secure the signature.
Then the purchaser asked to know what
she would take and sign the deed, fear
full that she would be exacting beyond
his inclination to comply. After a
good deal of hesitancy she said she
she ought to have 50, which
he promptly handed her, and she signed
the title. She turned over the silver
dollars time and time again laughing
over her good luck. She said: "Well,
this is the first money Ihave ever had in
my life that 1 could call my own and
spend it as / may wish to do to suit
myself. Indianapolis Sentinel.
