EiIininOS Are Musical.

Despite the fact that the American
troops are busily engaged in sup
pressing" the Fi.ipinos, a striking de-
msnd for musical instruments from
this country is being made by the peo
pie over whom Aguinaldo once ruled.
Consul Winter, writing from Anna
berg recently, referred TO the fact that
there are few native Filpinos who do
mot play some musical instrument. and
tina: the musical talent among them is
great. The instruments for which
they care most are mando.ins. guitars,
violins and flutes, and they have de-
rived most of their supply thus far from
the Americans. The average Filipino
does not lavish money on his musical
education, however, and is not able. as
\ rule, to buy expensive instruments.
The Tagals prefer instruments with
anowy exterior, and Consul Winter be-
feves the archipelago offers fine OPP
portunity for the man who gets there
soon with large supply of musical in
-s1ruments.-N. Y. Herald

co,s..t E.-u.lted state. senator

An elderly gentleman who sat be-
hind me in one of the parks, as the
asphalt pavements sizzled and baked,
asked me if 4, knew ex-senator Brad
bury, of Maine. do you know he is
the oldest living ex-senator, and there
= were some mighty interesting times
when he was here. Let me see! He
only lacks two summers of being 100
years old, and his memory and politi-
cal activity extend well back to the
1ime of Andrew jackson. Yes, he was
IN active man, forerunner OF the
treat men in congress which the Pine
tree state has furnished. | under
stand he is now living at Augusta,
Ne. and still takes keen interest
in current political affairs" Later, l

Force. of Gravity Not Always same

Forces of Gravity Not Always Same.
1t has been found that the force of
gravity at sea level is not constant at
all points on the earth's surface-that
is pound is not literally pound
everywhere. In some recent observa-
tions with delicate instruments G. A.
Almonetti has found that in II towns
of Italy the earth's attractive force
varied by one part in 10000. This
means that standard pendulum 5000
inches in length), which beats seconds,
would lose rs minutes each, year by
reason of this apparently slight diff
ference in the force of gravity in these
towns of Italy. A ton of gold, if weighed
on a spring balance, would differ in
value by the loss of weight theoretically
by $50 at localities where the gravity
was a minimum. The explanation
given of these variations of gravity is
the uneven massing of the material of
the earth's crust.-Little Chronicle.

THREE THOUSAND

Persons Attended Last Night in Adj
dition to Many Who Remained.
The attendance last night was very
gratifying. Three thousand persons
passed through the gates in the early
evening, and fully as many
more who were present dur
ing the afternoon. took their
supper on the grounds and remained.
The crowd thoroughly enjoyed the di-
versifed programme provided by the
management, finding special pleasure
in strolling a-ong the Midway, listen
ing to the siren song of the fakirs, Nand
mingling i'm the crowds in front of the
Oriental tent shows. 1t was lively
night in all parts of the grounds, and
there was enjoyment for everybody at
moderate cost.
1ne German Village was crowded.
Nobody left without visiting 1t. The
vaudeville performance delighted ev-
erybody. The two musical teams, the
vocal soloists, and the orchestra, gave
entire satisfaction. The evening was
cool, and many ladies wore wraps.
There was some confusion occasioned
by the audience passing in and out OF
the grandstand. In order to avoid this
tonight. and for the especial conven-
fence of patrons, vaudeville perform
ance for one hour will be given upon
the elevated platform near the judges
stand.
Cooks hippodrome furnished Ro-
man standing and Roman chariot race,
and the contestants were followed
around the course without any difficulty
with the aid of the powerful search
lights.
The half mile dash was another fea-
ture It was an exciting race. The
weights were ia pounds, and the
horses finished in the following order:
Ilrban (McKenna) first; Tom Turley
(Barnes), DR.. Warden (Quinn), High
wayman (Ray), Polmyra (Fitzsim-
mo1s). Time :521a. Tonight there
will be a special running race in which
there have been seven entries.
