FAMOUS AMERICAN ECHOES.
Pearson's Magazine.
3-"Woe is meY'

Pearson's Magazine.
In this country there are many we'll
known buildings noted for their echoes
and of these none are perhaps more
remarkable than the Tabernacle in Salt
Lake City. When this hall is empty and
quiet, the ring of a pin falling on the
floor can be heard from all points, and
even the feeble rasping sound produced
by rubbing the hands together is perfect
~ audible from one end of the building
to the other.
A petter known, but really less Won
derful example of audibility within a
building is found in the national hall Of
statuary in. the capitol at Washington
The phenomena manifested here, which
are genuine and interesting enough
nave been somewhat overstated | have
spent long morning In this hall study
ing the matter critically and having
obtained due permission, have questioned
the various groups of visitors while being
placed in various positions by the guides
to hear the marvellous reverberations of
sound.
The guides certainly make the most of
their opportunities for impressing visit
ors-but when guide retreats to a dis
lance TO whisper, you may observe when
approaching him with due caution that
his whisper is of the stage whisper"
sort, and calculated to carry with great
dlstinctness under any conditions! The
SAAAOA cSOuSliCd1 OF the cnaQl-
Der are clearly due to the fact that the
roof, which is partly domed is not sym
metrical with regard to the floor, so
that complex reverberation is the con-
sequence.
Natural echoes unsurpassed in wonder
full effect are not far to seek in America.
Probably Irish Killarney itself does not
hide away more striking echoes than Turk
within the famous Colorado canon, and
1t would be rash to assert that these are
quite the most wonderful to be found
among the rocky retreats of the Far
West.
Deep ravines being the recognized
haunt of echoes, 1t may be taken for
granted that many exist In the great
gorge of Niagara, and anyone Journey
ing to the falls by this approach viii be
we'll rewarded by stopping at Inspiration
Point, walking forward to the edge OF
the cliff, and here waiting till the first
train, on nearing the level crossing,
takes up and carries on the warning
shrek.
The musical chord blown so constantly
by railway engines often meets with
beautiful response from the surrounding
country. This is very noticeable round
the Lake of Geneva, Wisconsin, when
the listener is standing on high ground
and trains are threading their way
through the woodland below. These eff
fects are due to the nearness of extern
SiYe pine forests to the railroad tracks,
Many who visited Wadesboro, North
Carolina, to observe the total eclipse of
the sun from the observation station
there last year, noticed that the organ
like piping Of the trains, when some two
miles distant in the broad, wooded val
ley below, would give place, without SEN
slble break, to an echoing reply, drawn
out in q prolonged strain, which slowly
and softly died away, like the wild
notes of some gigantic harp.

The witness went on to explain that in
a short time he saw the Horne boy COM
ing out of the barn leading a COW. The
witness stated that his attention was at
tracted by the singular figure presented
by the young man. He Wore a black suit
that was SO small for him that the
tops of his boots. His arms stuck way
out of the arms of the coat. The brC.l-
er-in-law is very small man, and the
Horne boy Is tall AMI lank. The Horne
boy was also wearing his brother-in-
laws stovepipe hat of ancient design.

or I'll fine you for contempt Of court
The lawyer made a grimace behind his
hand and then said, blandly:

and l have found that your honor, being
so thoroughly grounded in the law and
procedure, has always made US follow

and then, catching sight of another fly
he mashed him with the folded paper. A
second fly came down to discover what
initiated him also.

duty whatever. The cossack is the only
Russian soldier who serves uninterrupted
~ for twenty-five consecutive years.
1t must not be surmised from the above
statement that, since military service in
RUSSIA is universal, every Russian serves
IN rhe army. The government requires
every year a certain number Of recruits
to fill up the gaps which occur through
those VINO nave completed their services
or have died or become disabled. This
number never exceeds 100000, whereas
the number of the young men who have
reached the age of twenty-one amounts
each year to more than 1900, OOO Hence
the government is enabled to make the
cholceSS selection for her army,
This selection is supposed to be controll-
ed by the following rules: First only
those who are perfectly healthy shall be
enlistedi second the single son of aged
parents who are entirely dependent upon
his support is exempt from serving in
the army; third, if there still remains a
surplus, lots shall be drawn among the
recruits, and those who are lucky enough
to draw the highest figures shall be
dismissed
The reader will naturally infer from
the above rules that every Russian SOL
der may be taken as a model of physical
health, and that there is in the whole
aged and helpless parents. This is,
however, not the case at all. The Russian
army, especially the infantry, is COM
posed at all events Of as many physically
defective soldiers as of perfectly healthy
ones. And for the second rule, I may
unhesitatingly say that it has never as
yet been enforced. The reason for this
striking fact, which manifestly and pub
licly violates the law, will become evident
from the following sketch Of the life Of
Russian soldier:
The Russian recruit, after passing the
necessary physical test, is at once ordered
out to the barracks, which becomes his
sole home until the period of his service
expires. Even If his parents live next
to the barracks ne is strictly forbidden
from having any intercourse with them
except by special permission of his su-
periors; and to get this permission, every
time man wanted to visit or talk vita.
a relative would be to expensive even for
a well-to-do soldier, because several SUI
periors would have to bribed each time.
Even to receive some eatables from home
is well nigh impossible, because it must
first pass through the hands of his cor
poral. The private is then sure to re-
ceive an empty box or, If the eatables
should not appeal to the taste of the
corporal, the privatei will have to pay
heavy tax before he gets them. The
soldier is consequently compelled to be
satisfied with the provisions furnished
for him in the barracks.
But not even thes stomach of a dog
can easily digest such meat and cabbage
as is provided for the soldier. The Of
hcers who have charge of the food secure
filthy meat and fouIecabbage, SO that a
large amount of the money at their dis

Then the listeners remembered THAI

store room at the rear of his market.
The court had nearly dislocated his arm
in shooting at the intruder.

And then his honor drew a folded paper
from his inside pocket and read the de-
cision. It was that the Horne boy was
called upon him to stand up.
'Hearken to the sentence which this
court imposes on you. sentence you to

salt boxes filled with sawdust. The JUS
tice has desk on the platform.
few days ago one of the Horne boys
at Cobb's Corner got into trouble says
Maine correspondent of the New York
Tribune People had been expecting the
Horne boy to get into trouble for some
time. He steals. His folks say he can
not help it, and for a long time his mis-
deeds have been pardoned But after this
recent affair they thought he ought to
have a lesson. So the constable took him
up" Here's what the boy had done He
went down to his brother-in-law's place
and stole the best COW and the relatives
wedding suit. Three weeks before that.
in the absence Of the family for the day,
he had stolen a small load of hay three
bushels of potatoes and a firkin of but
ter. The family was also away when he
took the cow and suit. The charge
brought against the Horne boy by his
brother-in-law was mischief. He simply
wanted to scare the youngster, not to
send him to prison
The postmaster brought up into the hall
and laid on the desk big blank book,
fresh bottle of ink, three or four pens
and a plug of tobacco. He took the Chief
Templars gavel and raped for order.
There must be no loud and boisterous
conduct in this hall during this trial."
he said. IT expect this case will have
bearin' on several matters that are occu-
plying the attention Of the courts in the
state and therefore there must be no ac-
tions that will disturb the statu quo and
the-well, as I said, the statu quo. Cen
tlemen, take off your hats and keep EN-
off This is not a saw mill. Please use
the spit boxes. There must be no loud
and boisterous splitting on the floor. I
will repeat that mean this Now I am
ready to listen to the case"
The first witness was a neighbor Of the
brother-in-law. The neighbor declared
that he had seen the Horne boy go down
the road bound for the brother-in-law's
place.
How did you know ne was going
there?" snapped the lawyer for the de-
Tense. Are you a mind reader?"

wide. In spite of the floating ice they
sprang in and struggled to the other side.
The pursuers, fifteen in number, hesita.ed
a moment at the sight of the ice
blocks, then they followed. Only two of
the twenty-one men reached the other
side; nineteen were drowned"
1 could bring still more striking eX-
amples to affirm the universal opinion
entertained by military authorities that
the Russian army, though enormous n
numbers, can never make front against
the intelligent, healthy, skillful and rel-
ant Saxon and Anglo-Saxon soldiers. The
Russian government is aware of this fact
and breads it's German neighbor even
more than it fears the merciless Nihilists.
To sum up: The life of the Russian
soldier is no better than the life OF
those who are condemned to hard labor
in Siberia and his value as a military
individual is by far inferior to that of any
other solder of the civilized world.
