QUEER SIAMESE MUSIC.
An Octave Which Differs from OuI
own and Has Seven Equal
Intervals.

Profs. Stump and Neesen, of the
Berlin university, have concluded some
interesting experiments regarding the
peculiarities of Siamese music, SAYS
the Scientific American. The Siamese
musical octave differs from our own
in the fact that it comprises seven
equal intervals. The sounds, though
perfectly harmonious, are somewhat
curious. While the Siamese court
troupe was at the geological gardens
in Berlin these two professors de-
cided to record these musical tone.
in their natural sound to such exacti
tude that the faintest variations
might be clearly defined. In the
earlier experiments the ordinary pho
nograph was employed, but was
proved to be unsatisfactory, owing to
the unpleasant constant rasping re.
productions which always accompany
Photographic reproductions and which
in this case destroyed the distinct.
ness of the sounds. A telephonograpb
was then employed and the results
were all that could be desired. By
means of Lnis apparatus the sounds
are so clear and the graduations SO
faithfully recorded that it is diff.
cult matter to distinguish between the
actual recital by the troupe and its
telephonographic reproduction.

WOOD LOOKS LIKE METAL.
A New Process by Which Strength
and Hardness Are Given to
the Fiber.

A European scientist has discovered
method by which wood may be given
the appearance of metal. Outside OF
the added value for decorative purposes
which this may give, the advantage to
be derived is not clearly apparent. The
wood is said to be rendered exceedingly
hard and strong, although it is equally
uncertain what part of the process may
be assumed to confer these desirable
qualities upon wood which was soft
and weak before treatment, says an in
dustrial exchange.
The process is described as follows:
The wood is first soaked for three or
four days in a solution of caustic alkali
at a temperature of from rs to 80 de-
grees centigrade, and is then trans
ferred at once to bath of hydrosul-
phate of calcium, to which a saturated
solution of sulphur in caustic alkali is
added after "a hours. The wood re.
mains in this bath, which is kept at q
temperature of from IS to SO degrees
centigrade, and finally it is soaked for
about 80 to so hours in solution of
acetate of lead. The wood is then dried
at moderate temperature and may be
polished with a burnisher of hard wood.
I'm this case it can be made to acquire a
brilliant metallic luster and if the sur
face is previously rubbed with piece OF
lead, tin or zinc and glass or porcelain
burnisher is used the effect is increased.
The wood treated in this way resem-
bles a metallic mirror.

ANIMALS THAT WEEP.
Many Species of the Brute Creation
Shed Tears When Fright
ened or Hurt.

"He crted like calf" is remark
sometimes heard. It is no disgrace for
a calf to cry and he sheds tears in guam
titles when, his emotions Justify them.
1t is even easier for him to cry than for
many other animals, because his
lachrymal apparatus is perfect and
very productive.
A scientific writer writing in La Ma
ture says that the ruminants are the
animals which weep most readily.
Hunters have long known that deer
at bay cries profusely. The tears will
roll down the nose of bear when he
feels that his last hour is approaching,
The big, tender eyes of the giraffe fill
with tears as he looks at the hunter
who has wounded him.
Dogs weep very easily. The dog has
tears both in his eyes and voice when
his beloved master goes away and
leaves him tied up at home. Some va
rieties of monkeys seem to be particu.
larly addicted to crying, and not few
aquatic mammals also find it easy to
weep when the occasion requires it.
Seals in particular are often seen to
cry.
Elephants weep profusely when
wounded or when they see that escape
from their enemies is impossible. The
animals here mentioned are the chief
ones that are known to weep, but there
is no doubt that many others also dis
play similar emotion.

FRANKS OF A PRINCE.
Wiiheimina's Future Husband Was
Lively Youngsters u Few
Years Ago.

Perhaps Prince Henry OF Mecklen-
burg Schwerin, the fiance of QueenWil-
helmina, is sober, industrious royalty
now, but according to this story he was
pretty lively fellow few years ago,
says the st. Louis Republic. Once a
governess of some cousins of his, scions
OF the ducal house of Mecklenbprg-
Strelitz, lived in a grand, solitary castle
planted in the middle of a boundless
plain of sand, like tent in the desert.
Henry Vladimir Won Mecklenburg-
Schwerin, who was there on a visit to
his cousins, had taken violent dislike
to the governess, who objected to his
rather free-and-easy manners with
her noble pupils. One Sunday morning
the children started with her in a car
riage to drive to the little church few
miles away from the castle. Nine De
x, the governess, was on the front
seat with the two countesses, and
Duke Henry Vladimir had installed
himself on the back seat. More than
once she felt as if something queer was
going on behind her, but when she
looked around the boy was stiff and
solemn, looking the other way.
At last the party reached the church,
in front of which little crowd of no.
bic neighbors and peasants had assem-
bled. Henry Vladimir jumped out
first and CALAMITY offered his hand to
the governess. She thought this I'M
wonted politeness rather strange, but
on jumping out her skirt and one or
two petticoats fell at her feet, where
they softly arranged themselves in a
sort of balloon, from which she
emerged a little more dressed than
"Venus Rising from the Sea-" but not
much. On the morrow the young Neck
lenburg- Schwerin was sent home with
the brand of shame upon him.

The RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
, (BenSons Plaster Is Pains Master.)

From the natural impulse to 'put some-
thing on" a painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen, /
The most successful have ever been poul-
tices or plasters, and the best of these il
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
IS advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter a season of suffer-
ing and danger. 1t relieves and eures
quicker than any other remedy. L
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist ON having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlative merit
of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with others, Benz
