ling Josh Riley played right field for

Sympathy i'm vibration.

Prof Elisha Gray in Chicago Times Herald.
If we place two clocks on the same shelf
and adjust their pendulums to swing in ex-
act unison and set one Of them to running,
in the course of time the other will start up
in sympathy. Each sound impulse caused
by the vibration Of the pendulum Of the
clock that Is running. is communicated to
the other pendulum. Each successive i'm
pulse adds to the swing of the sympathetic
pendulum which began in an exceedingly
small way at the very first stroke Of the
other pendulum, and this goes on till the
sympathetic pendulum is making its full
stroke. So with the sympathetic tuning
forks. Each air wave that is sent out by
the initial fork strikes the other fork and
causes at first a slight vibration which ac-
cumulates, because each successive air
wave strikes the sympathetic fork just at
the end Of its swing and works in harmony
with the natural tendency of the fork to
vfbrate. The result Is a cooperation. Each
helps the other. How much better 1t would
be for the world II men would take pattern
after this law of physics.

Weary-footed Eve in what celestial orchards -
Cool skyey gardens past the mountains rim
Stray you while the sun biinks DER the western
ocean, -
While sleep draws near you and the earth grows
dim:
Gazing from afar we the flying colors
Fiery blossoms pouring down a cloudy cane
Red Of the rose and scarlet of the poppy
Gold Of the crocus, purple Of the grape
Wasted drowsy Eve whore in the iusky bellows
born,
Fresh from the comftttt' of the Nights enfolding
Walked by the sgt shifts, you shall rise-the
L. far up in Heavea the tstntly rosy neeees,
Lo the purple hansltgs ~ her bower and bed.
Lo the golden staiy WhefHson her feet shall tread!

From the Pittsbure Time,

ffom the PittsbuHg Times. a'il '--'s-
according to the most authentic history
OF the coal trade, last year marked the
seven huEdredth anniversary of the use of
coal as fuel. Taking the most moderate
estimate of the antiquity of man. and con.
sioerfng the fact that the coal was aIwavs
mere. appears that We were long time
In -availing ourselves of this most yaluable
asset which nature placed at our disposal.
Many civilizations fiourished and died ont
without its use, and 1t may be said that
ITS potentialtties, as a factor in the pro-
gress of mankind, were never realized fully
until the present century. Up to its dawn
aside from the warming of the body and
the cooking of food little Importance was
attached to the fuel question. For these
purposes few fagots or biilets of wood
sumced But in time We discovered that in
the nre there was giant a thousand times
more powerful than the tabled monsters of
antiquity.
Then the fuel question became the all.
important one. With its aid all the mira
cles of the ages were to be surpassed Give
TO nation or community abundant fuel
and 1t could levy greater tribute upon the
rest OF the world than had ever been ex-
acted by the greatest conquerors. When
mankind was ready to take advantage of
them. behold it was found ready to hand
stored in the earth in the shape Of coal.
This has been called AN age of iron and
steel, but little claim would 1t have to
that designation were it not for coal. More
than gold or iron, or kings, or princes, or
battles or revolutions, has 1t affected the
fate of mankind 1t Is a notable anniver-
sary. and 1t is surprising that more should
not have been made Of 1t.
