Shlps Have Eapu,

The Gate City, which arrived here
On Monday from Savannah, is the frat
steamer going out Of this port to bs

device for enabling the lookout to de-
termine the direction of sounds at

way up, but little could be told about
Its utility owing to It's being placed In
q poor position. It consists of a brass
pox, which fits over the mast and
which has projecting from each end
broad-mouthed funnel. From this boz,
close to the tunnels, two tubes like or
binary speaking tubes lead down the
mast and through the main deck to
the deck below. Inside Of the box
there Is a complex arrangement Of dia-
phNgms and sounding boards so
placed vat a sound will enter only one
OF the tubes when It Is passing through
The funnel on the opposite side Of the
box. On the lower deck is an arrange
ment like an engine-roOm indicator, by
which tho box above may be turned
around the mast, and directly under
the indicator Is tell-tale compass.
The man below places the tubes to his
ears, where they are held in place
by cap. Unless the tunnels above are
pointing directly toward the sound
which he wishes to locate he will hear
It only falntly and in one ear, because
one OF the tunnels being turned from
the sound the tube opposite does not
operate. He then turns the Indicator
N the direction from which the sound
appears to come, and when the funnel
Is pointing directly at the sound 1t

A MUSICIANS PROTEST..

In the current number OF the New
York Musical Courier I find over the
signature Of the Lincoln correspondent
the following remarks:
The musical season in May generally
closes with the May Festival given by
the Matinee Musicale Club. 4
There are three Conservatives or schools
of music in Lincoln and numberless
graduate and student recitals will be
crowded into the next two months-a

trial had preceded the compensation"
1t has been the rule OF one OF these
schools Of mt sic-the one connected
with the State University-to ignore all
ignorant and spiteful criticism. But the
remarks quoted eeem to me to require
a few words Of reply. am not an ardent
advocate Of the rule "Stand up for Ne
braska" at any cost. but the old proverb
about the bird which Injuries it's own
nest may not be inapplicable to this case.
This person has gone out OF her way
to speak slightingly Of home institutions
and Of honest effort by students, in a
paper published in large city in the
East, 1t is not only the school repre-.
sent but all the schools and all the stu
dents who ere discouraged and rebuked.
want to say on behalf Of the school
connected with the State University
that the very paper in which this com.
munication appeared has within the
past month written to the director of
the school praising the programs Of the
graduates, and that it published the an
noupcement OF their performance.
Honest criticism after the event we
do not oppose, but welcome as helpful.
But this sort OF thing! To insult pupils
befole hearing them-as though the
only value Of students lay in their value
in bringing foreign artists to that city
and that at other times they are to be

Monday night at the Oliver we are to

duction in this city OF Mr.. Richard

mond Rostand's heroic comedy "Cyrano
de Bergerac." No other occasion in
theatricals in recent years has been an.
ticipated with the interest and relish,
and the belief in satisfaction for artistic
appetite that makes so peculiarly and
emphatically desirable this important
event. The importance Of Mr.. Mans.
fields appearance is so surely matter

it is quite apart and distinct from the
accident Of the vehicle Of expression.
