Musical Sounds from Sands.

Perhaps the most interesting expert
enee of musical sands is that recorded
by Kinglake in his journey across the
desert. He says: '.As l dropped my
head under the suns fire and closed my
eyes against the glare that surrounded
me, slowly fell asleep-for how many
minutes or moments cannot tell; but
after a while was gently awakened by
a peal of church bells-my native bells
the innocent bells of Marlen, that
never before sent their music beyond
the Blagdon hills! My first idea natur-
ally was that | still remained fast
under the power of dream. reused
myself and drew aside the silk that
covered my eyes and plunged my bare
face into the light. Then, at least, |
was well enough awakened; but still
those old Marlen bells rang on, not
ringing for joy, but properly, prosily,
steadily, merrily ringing for church.
After a while the sound died away
slowly"
Kinglake thought he had been the
victim of hallucination; but it is
probable that he heard actual musical
sounds, either issuing from the rocks
beneath the sand, or caused by the
friction of the particles of sand over
which the travellers were walking; as
in the case of curious mountain
which Darwin visited in Guiana. 1t is
called by the natives Ell Bramador-ol
the Bellower-because of the sound
given forth when the sand covering
it is put in motion.-Chambers Jour-

Gently issued valuable work on the
birds of Natal and Zululand, and their
account of bird life round st. Lucia
Bay, in the Province of Zululand. is
very interesting. Among the birds
encountered were the Bateleur eagle,
the standard winged nightjar, which
is extremely rare in South Africa;
both the pied and the brown-hooded
kingisher, and the lark-heeled cuckoo
(Which was remarkably tame. even
coming to their tent to eat porridge
thrown to it). Game birds, it seems,
are very scarce, at st. Lucia; but
Verreaux's guinea-fowl was abundant.
Zululand has mocl1ing bird, scientifi-
cally known as Cossypha bicolor
(noisy chat thrush), and the long.
tailed cormorant is not uncommon on
the hedges of that large lagoon known
as st. Lucia Bay.-Westminster

Stumbled on the Phonosraph.

The phonograph is perhaps the
most widely known of all Thomas Edi-
sons gifts to the world. He struck
upon the idea as early as 1877, and the
first monographs were put on the mar
ket in 1878. The invention was the
outgrowth Of an accident. Mr.. Edison
had been experimenting for long time
with the telephone, his object being to
discover self-recording attachment.
He arranged stylus connected with
the disk of the telephone receiver, so
that the point rested on a strip OF tin
foil, and made indentations on it CORE
spending to the vibrations of the disk
in the receiver. An accidental move
ment of the indented foil under the
stylus caused a momentary reproduc-
ton of the sounds. Mr. Edison at
once recognized the Importance of this,
and set to work to avail himself Of the
suggestion, and before very long he
had fashioned something's very rude
something, to be sure-but it bore in
Its clumsy mechanism a prophecy Of
the dainty phonograph so widely
known today.-Orange Chronicle.

over the bodies of his slaves, whom
the weight of the boats disembowelled
as they passed. He is usually treacher-

A RACE FOR A MINE.
A Midwinter Dash to Locate the La
Ileur Mine.

Ileur Mine.
"An exciting race for mine took
place in February, 1896. For many
years it had been known that the Col
Vile Indian reservation was rich in
minerals, and prospectors had slipped
in, eluding the vigilance of the Indian
police, to explore the mountains in
northern Washington. But long be-
fore white-men had entered the In
dians knew that the top of a low
mountain near the-catiQn,s border
line was covered with bright 5lIe
stones, so gaudy that many were car
ried off and placed in the wigwams.
The prospectors knew that these gay
stones betokened the existence Of cop
per veins, and many hungry eye
was cast at that rock-strewn patch Of
ground before the government lifted
the ban that kept out paleface in
truders.
But congress passed law opening
part of the reservation to mineral 10.

waiting for the president to sign
the formal proclamation, two parties
quietly entered the forbidden territory
and camped alongside the promising
vein. At Marcus. the nearest tele-
graph station, two young men waited
with tense nerves for the first tick
that would tell that the president had
signed the proclamation. It was a
cold, gray winter day, and the snow
was piled high. Late in the afternoon
the word came, and there was a stimuli
taneous dash for the horses that were
waiting outside. Then the race began.

down declines, toiling desperately up

horses bore their riders. Sometimes

The Blame Placed Upon People who Wa:

The fact of the matter Is that al
this cry about adulterated molasses
has somewhat befogged the public on
this interesting topic. They have come
to believe that the molasses producers
in Louisiana have ruined their indus
try by adulterating their product with
glucose, and even worse, by using
hurtful chemicals. This is not the
case at ALL The producers. or planters,
as they call them in this part of the
world, still make the Simon Pure ar
ticle as of old, but as the supply of
the fine old-time sugar house or kettle
molasses is necessarily small, it is
high priced, and the consuming public
will not pay the price in competition
with the finc-colored, adulterated, but
cheaper article. Jobbers no longer de-
sire to handle the pure kettle molasses,
because their customers will not pay
the cost when they can buy the mixed
article for almost half the price. Any
one who is willing to pay the price
can buy all the pure molasses he wants
from first hands in New Orleans.
There was time when large quanti-
ties of rich kettle molasSes were made
in this state in the. old-style sugar
houses. This rich molasses represent
ed the waste of considerable portion
Of the sugar product. The tendency
in recent years has been to extract all
the sugar possible from the cane juice.
and modern sugar factories eXtr;s,t
such Il large proportion of sugar that
the molasses by-product is no longer
the rich sugar-house article, except
in the case of 4 few-old-fashioned
factories where the kettle process is
Still in use
The great bulk of the molasses now
marketed from the plantations is n
comparatively low grade by-product Of
Indifferent color and inferior in sac
charine strength. a very large pro-
portion of this molasSeS would not be
acceptable to consumers in its crude
or original state, hence the practice
of mixing it with glucose to improve
it's appearance and render 1t merchant
able commenced. This mixing of mo-
lasses is quite distinct from the GUS
tom of bleaching. in which tlIe chemi-
Gals are used, the deleteriouS effect
of which has been much discussed.
MolaSses mixed with glucose, although
it is certainly an inferior article CON-
pared with pure sugar-house molasses
or can syrup, is yet entirely wholesome.
1t is certainly bad practice to sell
a mixed article in lieu of pure ar
ticle; but in the case of molasses there
need be no danger Of being deceived.
Pure molasses is very much more ex-
pensive than the mixed article. The
reason why it is difficult to obtain
from the retailers is the unalterable
propensity of the average American
to discriminate in favor of the cheaper
article, providing its appearance is sat
isfactory. The average consumer will
buy the mixed article every time in
preference to the pure article. The
mixing Of lnolasses, has therefore been
actually forced upon the distributors
first, by the altered system Of manu-
facture on plantations, and, second. by
the unwillingness of consumers to pay
the price of the pure articln.-New

There are controversies al several of
the universities over the practice of dis
trbuting the university emblem, which
betokens athletic renown. 1t is the ~
at Yale, H at Harvard, CO. at Column
ba, and so on down the line. The feeling
has been particularly bitter at Columbia
recently because the players on the la
crosse team were permitted to sport the
magic letter "C'' on their club uniform
and sweaters. Many of the undergradu-
ates are of the opinion that the emblem
should be worn only by the members OF
the track, rowing. football and baseball
teams. Just why the members OF these
teams should be SO honored while the
privilege is denied to the athletes who are
proficient in cycling, gymnastics, tennis.
hockey, hand-ball, fencing, and water
polo, is a question which some people
cannot understand. OF course, the foot
ball games will bring into the athletic
treasury a great deal more money than
either of the tabooed sports, but then 1t
looks as If finances should not cut much
of a figure and undoubtedly do not. There
does not seem to be any good reason why
a good lacrosse player, gynnast, cycle
rider, or fencing expert should not wear
the college emblem, provided he is pro-
ficient in his studies.
