SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. % 1sc:
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 It so that all could hear. The
guitar was replaced by a harp, with
the same result. A wooden tray was
then substituted, and even from that
issued mysterious harmonies.
The marvellous effect was simply due
20 the sound conducting quality ofwood.
In O. room beneath and separated by
two floors was a piano, and connecting
the rooms was tin tube containing
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 It seemed as though the actual
notes of the harp were heard, the notes
OF the piano being SO like those of the
harp.
AS. the professor said. "An unedu-
Gated person might well believe that
witchcraft was used In the production
of this usic."-Chambers Journal

The EsEimoa.

The old tradition that the Eskimos
are q people of small stature is with
out foundation. On the contrary, in
Labrador. Baffln Land and all around
Hudson bay the height OF the men is
probably above rather than below the
average Of the human race; but, as a
rule. the women. although very strong,
are considerably shorter than the men.
They are brave, industrious, provident
and communicative, in all Of which
characteristics they contrast with the
northern tribe Of Indians.

A Wonderful 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 quadrangle. The re-
port Of a pistol is said to be repeated
by this echo co times, and Addison,
who visited the place on n somewhat
foggy day, wien the air was unfavor-
able. counted 90 repetitions. At first
they were quick. but the intervals
were greater In proportion as tie sound
diminished.

Slate Denosit.

It is not generally known that
there is in West Virginia one of
the best slate deposits in the coun-
try. It is located in the Cumber-
land Valley about five miles from
Martinsburg, on land owned by y.
w. Tabler, of Martinsburg The
samples taken out are very fine,
takes a good polish and splits even
Iy, and differs from the Pennsyl-
vania slate quarries from the fact
that the ledge crops out and the
slate can be obtained without min
ing, and the Opequon Creek run
ming the whole length of the de-
posit furnishes plenty of wator for
the purpose of mining. The slate
polishes to Il jet black, making the
hnndsomest kind of mantels, while
it stands excessive heat. Mr.. Tab
Ter. is druggist, and he says that
he will dispose of the land to any
one who will take out the slate and
put it on tho market. t.-MRnufactur-

Battle With Swarm of bees.

Beverly, w. Va, Aug. s.-Two
hives of italian bees about to
swarm at Squire Talbott's farm at
Arnold, near Elkins, Randolph
county, on Tuesday evening, were
disturbed by cat and the bees
settled on Mr.. Talbott's little child,
playing near by. Mrs. Talbot at
tempted to rescue the child, when
the bees madly went for her.
Squire Talbot hearing Screams
of both came running up, also to
be attacked. The, screams and
groans of all three attracted F. M.
Lawson and Rev. w. p. Daniels

rived the trio we're unconscious.
The seemingly ltteless forms, with
bees still clinging to them, were
carried into the house and the stub
born insects had to be smoked out.
All have recovered consciousness.
but are frfghtfnlty swollen. Mrs.
Talbot and the ohild are very ill
from over 100 stings each. The

Alas TOO True.

Running newspaper is just like
running hotel, only different.
When a man goes into hotel and
finds something on the table that
does not suit him, he does not get
up and raise hades with the land
lord and toll him to stop his darned
old hotel. Well, hardly. He sets
that dish to ono side and wades in
to some of the many dishes that do
suit him. 1t is different with
some newspaper readers. They
find an article occasionally that
does not suit thom exactly and,
without stopping to think that it
may please hundreds of other read
ers, make grand stand display of
their supreme asininity and hasten
over to stop their paper.

Lnhnr vs. The Antocrot.

Moundsville Echo.
Both sides have their battle axes
whetted and are ready to fight out
to finish the great question of
which shall be lords of the land.
This is the attitude the organized
labor people and the billion dollar
steel trust stand in at present. o.
p. Morgan, head of the steel trust,
has shut off all further conference
with the Amalgamated Association
of Steel and Iron Workers and the
greatest strike this country has
ever known is on. Public opinion
on the question of which side is in
the right will be formed by re-
view of the causes that brought on
the trouble.
The conditions are deplorable.
In all probability the trouble will
extend 10 all lines Of industry and
OF innocent people will

another warning to our people who
use this explosive stuff. at this
time of the year when 30 many

are inclined to be careless with
