Watch Hill r L. Aug. 3 CSpeciaD.-The old
Rhode Island settlers when they built their modest
dwellings in village and hamlet strove always to
select community name that should have some
connection with or convey some inkling as TO the
character or location OF the village 1hus II was
that the hilly rocky point in the extreme south
western corner received the name of Watch Hill.
During the early Indian wars. and in the keNoIu-
tion too watches were kept on the highest hill
where 4 watch tower erected. which was at
the sane time d signal beacon. Thus came the
name. although previously the Indians had called
it Nisoua u,iclt This name mas heen revived, and
is used in connection with land COMPANY golf

Transmission of sound.

A striking example of the magical
effects capable Of being produced by
any one conversant with the laws Of
sound was shown by the late Professor
Tyndall in one Of his lectures. He
placed on the floor Of the room an ordi-
nary guitar. No one was near, and yet
some unseen hand drew sweet music
from 1t so that all could hear. The
guitar was replaced by n harp, with
the same result. A wooden tray was
then substituted, and even from that
issued mysterious harmonies.
The marvellous effect was simply due
TO the sound conducting quality of wood.
In a room beneath and separated by
two floors was a piano. and connecting
the rooms was a tin tube containing a
deal rod, the end of which emerged
from the floor. The rod was clasped
by rubber bands so as TO close the tube,
and the lower end OF the rod then
rested on the sound board of the piano.
As the guitar rested upon the upper
end OF the rod the sounds were repro
duced from the piano, and when the
sound board of the harp was placed on
the rod 1t seemed as though the actual
notes Of the harp were heard, the notes
, Ct the piano being 81 like those of the
harp.
As the professor said, "An unedu.
Gated person might well believe that
wltchcraft was used in the production
Of this muslc."-Chambers' Journal

A Far Look.

Three visitors travelling In the Isle
Of Man thought they would visit Snae-
fell, the king Of Manx mountains.
When walking up toward the noun
tian, they esplcd an old shepherd COM
ing toward them. They thought they
would take a rise out Of him, so one
accosted him, saying:
They tell me, old man, you n see
England. Scotland, Ireland and even
rs far as America from the top of this
mountain"
"0h, yes" said the old man. "If
you will come with me, | will show
you much further than America"
SO, chuckling to themselves, they de-
cldcd to follow him. After trudging
for about half an hour up the noun
tain side In a boiling sun they began
to feel rather tagged and kept asking
the shepherd how much further they
had to go.
He kept urging them on n little fur
Their until Mt last the three visitors
lay down on the grass and said they
would go no further for any sight.

The Tanning PROCESS.

The slowness Of the process of tan
ming 10 largely due to the difficulty with
which the tannin penetrates into the
hide. As the penetration progresses
the outer part OF the hide becomes con-
yerted into leather and Is thereby made
impervious; consequently the rate Of
penetration decreases. Months Of hoax
Ing In tho tan pit are therefore neces
sary fos thick hides. Many attempts
have been made to hasten this ABSORB
ton of tannin by hide. The methods
used include circulating the tan liquor
50 that fresh portions are continually
presented to the hide, forcing the liquid
through the hide by pressure and using
strong aqueous extracts of flaming ma
terials.
II has been sought to attain the same
object by passing a current Of electric.
ity through tho vat In which the hides
are suspended. One such process has
been found to shorten the time Of tan.
Ming to a quarter Of that necessary
when no current Is used. and the leath.
er Is said to be unexceptionable.-Elec

A Echo.

Many wonderful echoes are known,
but the one which takes the first place
seems to be that Of the old palace OF
Simonetta, near Milan, which forms
three sides Of a quadrangle. The re-
port of a pistol is said to be repeated
by this echo GO times, and Addison,
who visited the place on a somewhat
foggy day. when the air was u~nfavor-
able, counted SO repetitions. At first
they were quick, but the intervals
were greater in proportion as the sound
diminished.

COLUMBIA WINS
FIRST RACE



and Lord DuDraven's first Yalkyrie
and the Vigilant. In 1898, which have
been treasured By the yachtsmen up
to this time, will be forgotten after
the magnificent duel Of today. 1t
will be remembered forever by those
who witnessed II. In the years to
come yachtsmen OF two nations will
recount the thrilling story OF the Gel
ebrated first race between the Column
bia and the Shamrock H., sailed off
New York harbor In the first year OF
the new century.
As n result OF today's race, though
faith In the Columbia still remains In
the hearts OF the patriots, all the ex-
perts admit that the British boat il
the ablest sloop ever sent to these
waters to lift the l0O-guinea cup
which the old schooner America
brought across the Atlantic 30 years
ago, and that the superiority Of
hultIlNuil rhilpl6ulp anu ANTI iNuu
naval architecture, M represented
by the defender, remains to be estab-
lished. The quality Of a sailing ship
Is measured by her ability To carve
her way into IN adverse wind and In
the 15-mile thresh to windward to-
day the golden challenger gained 80
seconds, while on her run home her
lead was eaten up and the Columbia
crossed the finish line exactly 81 Sec
onds before the Shamrock. Ii must
he remembered, however, that the
challenger had the weather gauge in
the beat to windward, n no mean
advantage, and the nautical experts
said after the race that during the
outerway journey she had been sailed
to absolute perfection; while going
before the wind the American yacht
showed n fieeter pair OF heels and, in
the opinion Of the sharps, was better
handled.
