one fall and break and in its sorrow
set a-crying. There seems to be little
doubt that animals do sometimes cry

TELEPHONE LIMITATIONS.

The postal authorities at Liverpool
have just completed a series of expert
ments with the telephone to determine
its value for lOng-distance conversa-
lions. 1t has been found possible to
carry on a telephone communication
with Paris, a distance of 4S9 miles, or
more than half way from New York to
Chicago.
Further south than Paris the speaker
could only be heard in Liverpool under
exceptionally favorable conditions. One
result of these experiments has been
the abandonment of the scheme to at
tempt telephone connections between
London. Turin and Milan. These cities
have been found too far apart to be

The WEEKLY
PIANO ANA
THINKS W. SHALL FLY.

Mr- Hiram Maxim, the inventor of
guns and other things, in paper
which he read before the Aeronautica1
society at London, said that SO far as
balloons were concerned he did not
think it possible to improve what the
Brazilian. M. Santos Dumont. had ac-
compIIshed-
On the other hand those seeking to
navigate the air with machines heavier
than the air had not even started All
kinds of flying machines heavier than
the air depended entirely upon the de-
veIOpment of dynamic energy Petro-
leum motors had already been devel-
oped sufficiently light to propel ma
chimes which flew in the manner of a
bird. He thought people should be
able to fly whenever it was ascertained
how this power might be advanta-
geOusly employed
The only question now was of time
and money in the matter of an actual
flight In time, flying machines were
not only possible but practicable Mr.
Maxim pointed out the necessity Of
practice in the art of managing ma
chine and compared this work to that
of learning how to ride a bicycle or to
skate.

TORPEDO BOAT WRECKED.

NEW YORK, August A cable to
the Sun from London says: The tor
pedo- boat destroyer Viper, first of the
class to be fitted with Parsons turbine
engines. was totally wrecked on the
rocks off Attorney island in the Eng
lish channel. No lives were lost. The
crew of the Viper have arrived at
Portsmouth. The Viper struck Renon-
quet rock at $50 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon during fog which set in while
she was chasing the destroyers of the
opposing maneuver fleet. The Viper
fired signals after she struck, but the
other vessels did not heed them, believ-
ing that the firing. was part of the
maneuVers. The crew did their utmost
to save the vessel, but the racing tide
caused anchor cables to part and COM
PEELED the crew to abandon her in small
boats,s leaving all their belonging
aboard the wrecked vessel. A French
fishing smack, acting as pilot, helped
the crew to get ashore.
The Viper was the only vessel in the
British navy fitted with turbine en-
gines During her speed trials in May
and June she attained thirty and a
half knots and was pronounced capable
of doing thirty-one knots. At that time
she was handled by an inexperienced
crew and her builders believed she
would yet attain thirty-four knots.
