Electricity and Noise.

Many Of the noises of the cities to-
day are due to electricity. There is
the street car, with It's whir and clang-
ing gong, and the anvil chorus" as
1t passes along the unevenly Joined
rails. Yet Charles w. Price, the edi-
tor of the Electrical World, asserts
that the city of the future will be
noiseless and the credit will be due to
electricity. The chief quietlng inin-
ence as noted by him will be the sub
situation of the automobile for the We
hicles drawn by horses. The awful
and constant volume of sound of un-
numbered thousands of iron-shod feet
hammering resounding pavements will
disappear forever, and with II 80 per
cent of the noise and filth and odors
of the street. With the passing of the
horse also will go the stone pave
ments," he says. The automobile as
yet, however, hardly comes up to this
glowing picture. Its whir can be dis
tinctly heard by the persons seeking
sleep on a warm night. Its chief ad-
vantage as yet Is perhaps its rubber
tires, and 1t Is strange that the makers
of horse-propelled vehicles do not
more largely avail themselves OF this
feature. 1t would do much to lessen
the noise Of cities. The electric motor

There are some instances OF this

goes on It will be more frequent, to

When the local committee in charge
OF the thirty-fourth national encamp-

Tic commenced to make plans for the
big gathering here, It not only had in
view the interests Of sightseers, but at
the same time planned to avoid on
costing any one district. such as has
been the result during other big func-
lions In this city. During the fall fes-
tival a year ago State street business

drawing such immense crowds to that
t~horoughfare that it was impossible
for business men to be reached by
buyers.
Consequently the selection OF Michi-
gan avenue owe other downtown
streets for the Grand Army encamp-
ment arches and court Of honor was
a particularly happy one. Business
interests will not suffer; the -
lions Of the arches and columns will
not be dwarfed by high buildings: and
the green Of the trees, the grass Of the
park and the effect OF the lake area all
lend beauty to the architectural result.
The material used in the work on the
exterior of the columns and arches
represents marble in effect. The open
ings of the arches, through which the
marching columns of the G. A. X. will
pass, are twenty feet wide and thirty
feet high.

a clerk in the navy yard at Wash

wreck of that vessel In 1885. There
after he served as a petty officer on a
warship until 1888, when he went to

schools. One Of these was held at the
Kenwood NJ. Il. Church and the other
at the Washington Park NJ. Il. Church.
The small schools were having a
struggle owing to their too close prox-

unite the two. The result has proved
the wisdom OF the step. for the pres
