portion of that body has inharmonious
vibrations. As each individual is tuned
to certain keynote, that must ac-
count also for likes and dslikes or at
traction and repulsion for certain peo-
pie. Persons who possess keynote in
harmony with our keynote say a third
or fifth will be most congenial. Take
a fourth in that part tuned to a fourth,
and he will be all right until left alone
with the person tuned to a third, and
they will begin to disagree. But let
one come in tuned to a sixth, in rela-
ton to the keytoned person, and all
is as happy and smooth as could be de-
sired. AS individuals we are strange
ly affected by certain tones; for in

EFFECTS OF TONE.
1T IS THE VIBRATION WHICH
WORKS DESTRUCTION.
Some Theories Advanced for
Builders of Bridges and
Other Structures.

There is a law governing the build
ing of bridges which is rarely investi-
gated by the layman, and in fact is lit
tie understood in a tonic" sense by
even the builders themselves. They
only knew that a bridge is easily de-
moIished by band of musicians play
ing upon it or a body of men marching
in rhythmic time across it. Rhythmic
time proves a certain continuous and
measured number of vibrations, and as
vibrations are contagious and possess
tone quality, we come to the conclusion
that bridges are not only affected by
tone, but being so affected must be
built upon a keynote. The number Of
vibrations contained in that keynote or
tone Viii respond to the same number
of vibrations made upon the bridge by
either a band of musicians or a body
of men marching to the time of those
vibrations.
1t is. perhaps, not generally known,
but it is an unwritten law, that march
ing organizations break step as they
reach a bridge and a band of musicians
ceases to play when about to cross.
In Chicago is a person well versed
in this peculiar law of tone vibration.
He believes that could we analyZe suf-
ficiently. we could discover the keynote
of each piece Of material for building
and erect a structure upon which the
elements would have no effect and
which would last indefinitely. He also
believes that the four points of the
compass represent the four leading
tones in a chord and that a structure
must accordingly be placed in regard
to these points to correspond with the
note of the material with which it is
built Having. as he thinks, made
these discoveries, he sets about to find
his material and location. 1t took time
and money but as both Were acces-
sible, he has evidently succeeded. for it
has now been built some years and
shows no signs of the usual decay and
need Of repair that other houses of the
same architectural style have always
needed each year. Merging on this the
ory Of sound also brought the informa-
ton that one of the most successful
establishments for the manufacture OF
fringes and trimmings had its employees

accompanied their busy fingers, and as

The suggestion Of the effect upon the

instances. Cures Of a marvellous nature
have been attributed. That is melody,
but the certain tones irrespective Of
melody have particular and peculiar eff
feet. We will conceda that every per-

The effect of single tones. chords and
melody upon the body will in time be
an interesting science. The destruc-
ton of the body, that is, it's disease
and it's appearance in physical weak
ness must be attributed without
doubt to certain vibrations, either
within the body or it's environment

Will not be Prosecuted
Baltimore SUM-

Six indictments against General Car
los Roloff, secretary of wal of the
Cuban provisional government; DR..
Joseph ]. Luis, a Cuban, and John T.
Smith, a New York boat builder, were
mol. pressed yesterday by United
States District Attorney John c. Rose
by direction of Acting Attorney Cen
eral Joseph Boyd.
All the indictments were for alleg-
ed violation of the neutrality laws Of
the United Safes. They grew out Of
the sailing of a Cuban filibustering
expedition from Baltimore ON the
steamer James Woodall July 9, 1895.
General Roloff and DR.. Luis were
apprehended in New York and releas-
ed on bail for their appearance for
trial in the United States court in
Baltimore. Mr.. Smith was not arrest
ed, as his whereabouts were unknown.
In February, 1897, General Roloff
left New York, ostensibly for Balti-
more. He failed to appear here. DR..
Luis came here and was convicted in
March, 1897, of conspiring to set on
foot a military expedition to Cuba and
against Spain, a friendly power. He
did not testify in the case and no wit
nesses were called on his behalf.
On March %, 1897, DIR. Luis was
sentenced to eighteen months in Jail
and to pay a fine of $500; subsequently
his term of Imprisonment was re-
duced to one year. This he served and
n month additional for the fine,
which was not paid. DR.. Luis made
many friends in Baltimore during his
compulsory stay here, and a meeting
in his honor was held at Music Hall
upon his release. Not long afterward
war was declared between the United
States and Spain.

Correspondence of The Messenger

Correspondence of The Messenger.)
Davidson, N. c., July 20.
Faculty, students and friends of
Davidson generally will all agree that
the executive committee at it's meet
ing in Charlotte on yesterday dis
played great wisdom in appointing a
committee with instructions to pro-
coed at once to establish a water
plant at the college. The plant is to
furnish to the institution and it's
boarding houses an abundant supply
of water for drinking and sanitary
purposes. For some time the author
tiles have a the question under ad-
visement, recognizing that the estab-
lishment of such a system was becom-
ing more and more imperative if the
college is to keep pace with the prog
ress of similar institutions in the line
of material improvements and con-
developed the fact that it was the
sense of the trustees that the time had
come to make the necessary outlay
and thus render the college still more
worthy of it's patronage hat has been
growing steadily for the past ten
years.
The local committee OF grounds and
buildings, assisted by DR.. Monroe as
consulting member and others whom
the committee may select by reason
of their experience in locating such
plants, will in a few days make a tour
of inspection of the surrounding
country and select a suitable place
for sinking the we'll shafts. The sys-
TEN proposed is that recommended by
the state geologist and which has been
so successfully established at a num-
Der of places, notably at Red Springs
and the Winthrop State Normal. The
water will be pumped to a stand pipe
placed at the main building by an en-
CINE which is to be stationed at the
wells.
The work will be pushed as ex-
peditiously as possible and it is hoped
to have the entire plant in fine work
ing order by the early fall.
