In the trial of case at Newark, N.
j., Vice Chancellor Pitney, one of the
most erudite of New Jerseys judges,
gave an interesting opinion ON the
effect of noises on human life. The
case was protest against the terrific
hammering in copper boiler shop.
The complainants were property own
ers of the neighborhood. Said the
Vice Chancellor: "Noises tend to
shorten life. 1t is a well-settled fact
that, all other things being equal,
people living in crowded streets and
subjected to incessant, often loud,
noises, do not live as long as those
whose surroundings are comparatively
quietss The rule is that which rem
ders life uncomfortable should be
stopped. In considering the effect of
noise, we should apply it to ordinary,
everyday people, such as the COM
plainants in this case, not people
brought up in palace, unused to
noise of any kind, Or people who live
in n pigsty, caring nothing for noise
of any sort. The Court must be Judge
and jury in this case, and the Court
has been in boiler shop and knows
what it is. = One man holds a small
hammer inside the boiler, while an
ether man hammers on the outside. "
Although the case was continued, the
Court intimated that people involun-
tarily subjected to such hurt-produc-
ing noises had redress at the hands of
the law.

An Islnnd of Volcanic Make.

The British North Borneo Herald
describes the new island which was
recently thrown up by volcanic action
on the coast between Mempakoi and
Lumbidan. The island, which is
about fortytive feet high, $50 yards
long and $50 yards broad, has a very
peculiar appearance. It is chiefly an
upheaval of the sea bottom, but at the
highest point presents entirely differ
ent features. Here the surface of the
sea bottom has been broken through
from below and q mud crater formed,
which had evidently been forcibly
squeezed up through circular hole
in the bedrock further down.
The mud crater presents the form
of cone with the top aud side in
places fallen in; the portions remain
ing intact show plainly, by the smooth
striated sides, the effects of squeezing
the rock. The cone at its visible base
is perhaps twenty yards in diameter,
and is surrounded at about thirty
yards distance by circular terrace a
few feet high, which suggests that a
little pressure from below would have
resulted in far larger cone being
thrown up. There is a lot of bubbling
going on in various cracks and holes,
which flares up when a match is ap.
piled and continues to burn.

number of Endorsements which are not
only interesting in themselves, but aid
in disclosing the characters of the two
men whose influence largely nodded
the policy of the Government in those
turbulent times. The Endorsements
read as follows:

Dear Mr.. Lincoln-He is not a preacher,

Tamping Done by Air.

A force of 200, 900 men is required
to keep the beds of the railroads in
order, and the expense of the work is
$40, 900, 900 year. But an inventor
has come forward who propose to do
the work with compressed air, and
promises greater expedition and a
saving Of more than $4,000, 900 an
nually. The machine consists of a
Root blower driven at the rate of per-
haps 800 revolutions a minute. 1t is
set on top of one rail, and has two
small wheels ON which it can be
trundled along the rail like a wheel
barrow. When it is to be used lever
clips it fast to the rail- Attached to it
is hose twelve feet long, ending in a
metal feeder for the broken stone,
which has a hopper at the top, where
the stone or other suitable ballasting
material is shoveled in, and bent
end at the bottom, which is put under
the ties to direct the stream of filling.
In using it none of the ballast be-
tween the ties need be removed. A
shovelful is removed at one end of the
raised tie until the bent end of the
hopper tube can be poked under, and
then the filling material is blown in
and packed tight by the machine.

He Had Four Hearts.

Henry Tanner, who died at the City
Hospital, st. Louis, recently, is said
by the physicians in charge to have
had four hearts. The cause Iof this
trouble, according to DIR. Sutter, is
that at different times three aneurisms
had formed, and each of these grew
until it formed a compact mass almost
equal in size to the heart. These
aneurisms formed in the aorta, the
largest artery in the body, and the one
which leads from the heart. There
they grew, and became, as described.
Zone true heart and.three false ones. &"
These ''false hearts" throbbed and
pulsated with the "true heart" and
with equal precision, and apparently
gave Tanner 40 trouble. DIR. Sutter
says that if he had not succumbed to
neuritis these false hearts would have
kept on increasing in size until one of
them burst. That meant death for
Tanner.
The remarkable aorta and its four
hearts will be preserved at the hos
pital. IN. Y. Express.

A Cherokee Romance.

The marriage of Richard Malone
and Miss Mary Hildreth at Caldwell,
Kan, is the elimination of a romantic
experience.
When the Cherokee strip was opened
for settlement on September 19, 1898,
Malone and Miss Hildreth, at the re-
port of the signal along the southern
Kansas border, on their well-trained
horses, made the famous race over the
plains together for home in the In
dian lands.
The claims they desired lay five miles
south of Caldwell They were main
tanning good lead in the mad rush,
when suddenly the girths of Miss Hill
dreth's saddle broke. Her escort saw
her dilemma, reined in his horse and
assisted her. She could go no further,
so they staked two claims side by side.
They then erected house on Miss
Hildreth's claim just across the line.
Malone erected a barn, in which he
lived during his enforced residence on
his claim. Miss Hildreth occupied
the house. Last week they both
proved up their claims, and yesterday
they were married Topeka Journal.

The curious spectacle of a marine
craft propelled by enormous air-tight,
disc-shaped hollow wheels suggests a
radical departure in the methods of
bodybuilding. That the experiment
was failure was the natural conse-
quence of the principles on which the
craft was constructed. All of the ma
chinery and passenger accommodations
rested on a platform supported by
these air-tight wheels arranged in
rows ON either side. The general
effect was that of a huge wagon, the
box of which rested ON the water. One
of the causes of the failure of this
venture was that the wheels took up
sufficient water to handicap them seri
ously. An attempt was made TO coun-
teract this by increasing the power,
but this added 10 the weight of the
machinery and did not work success
fully. A device TO scrape the water
from the wheels was equally futile,
and as it stands now the roller boat
has scored most brilliant failure

Then Mr.. Sangster knelt down be-
side her, aud a conf sed interchange
of explanations of various kinds en-
sued.
The result was, that at the expira-
tion of a half-hour, Mr.. Sangster took
Lucy in his arms and kissing the tear
stained face, murmured:
God bless you for this promise, my
own darlingl And, with His help, /
trust these are the last tears 1 will

When Mrs. Collins came home. two
hours later, the house was very quiet,
the furnace in good order, and neither
Mr.. Sangster nor Miss Hildeburn visi-

fided to her a secret, and Mr.. Sang
ster absented himself mysteriously for
about three weeks. After that, Miss
Hildeburn also disappeared.
"Gone to visit her aunt at Swath-

other boarders.

Says the Boston Journal: "It is cal
culated by military students that fully
one-half of the 100, 900 mon who died
in battle on the Union side from 1861
to 1865 were bloody sacrifice to the
North's fatuous neglect of the science
of arms and Of the most ordinary mil
itary precautions. If that is true,
then one-half Of the wounded and dis
abled veterans whose names are now
borne on the pension lists owe their
disability to the fact that their coun-
try, in its long peace, had forgotten
the solemn admonition of Washington
and had allowed the great mass of its
youth to become absolutely ignorant
of the use of weapons and of martha
exercises. On this basis of reasoning
the national folly of the years before
the Civil War is now costing the Ma
tional Government about $40, 600, 900
a year, or more than twice the cost of
its present military establishment.
We shall never have Civil War
again. Our only possible conflict is with
a foreign enemy, and in all probability
we shall never have that if we main.
tain an adequate navy and complete
our new and admirable system of coast
defenses. Seventy million dollars
would finish these defenses and arm
them. 1t would build feet of fif-
teen frst-class battleships and make
our navy the second most powerful on
the planet. The men who believe in
a policy of reasonable military pre-
paredness for the United States can
justify their position not only by an
appeal to the national honor, but by
the broadest considerations of genuine
economy
