HAIR WILL DEADEN NOISE.
Felt Made 7r0m 1t Greatly LeHHens
the Sound Vibrations of
Heavy Machinery.

Hair felt has repeatedly received
mention as a means of deadening vi
brations and noise from machinery,
placed for this purpose between en-
gine bcdplatcs and foundation cap
stone and underneath rails subject to
heavy train traffic. Now, however,
cork is said to have been used in Ger
many with the same end in view, the
available particulars being to the eff
feet that sheet made up of fiat
pieces of the cork in mosaic fashion
corresponding in size to the bedplate
of the noisy machine and held togeth-
er by an iron frame, is laid under the
machine. What measure of success
has been obtained with this new ex-
pedient is not told, though as a means
of temporary relief 1t probably an
swered the intended purpose, says Cas-
sier's Magazine.
The true solution of most if not all
machinery vibration problems is, how
ever. To be found in proper founda-
tions, ample in area and weight, and
it generally pays to provide these if at
all practicable. To what exercise of
ingenuity the engineer is sometimes
put in accomplishing this was illus
trated dozen or more years ago in
one large factory, where on an upper
floor row Of small engines had To be
installed for the Independent driving
ofa corresponding number of different
machines. Though the building was
of substantial construction, with steel
floor beaBis. il was f0regone concI,l-
sion that that row of engines would
cause trouble If set with nothing but
the i'oCr as foundation, and as il was
undesirable to raise them much above
the floor level each engine was provid-
ed with a separate foundation, built
up of brick and mortar in the usual
way, bat suspended by steel straps be-
tween the floor beams and thus pro-
jeciing down into the head room of
the floor below. Seen from there each
foundation. with it's engine, appeared
as II resting on airy nothing. But
those suspended foundations accom-
plished all that was expected of them
as vibration abs0rbers.

FISHING FOR DINNER.
OGd Antics OF o Pet Sea Gull That
Had BeeR Recently Cap
taFaG,

Looking over my neighbor's fence
one day." says a lover of animals, 81
was surprised to see on his doorstep
these queer companions: A beautiful
white sea gull and my neighbor's pet
cat sitting quietly together.
Becoming interested, / jumped the
fence and asked Jones about his feath-
cred pet. He told me that some boys
had shot the gull few days before
and broken its wing and as they were
passing the house he noticed the poor,
suffering thing and bought it, He
bandaged the broken wing and the gull,
seeming to understand his kind in
tentions, became quite tame and nest
led its pretty head against his hand.
Jones entertained me by showing
how the gull usually took its meals" :"
quotes the Christian Advocate. Bring
ing plate of oysters and fork, he
called Goosey, goosey, gooseyv and
the bird came running to him. Then
he held out an oyster on the fork and
the gull seized it quickly with its yell
low bill and ate 1t as demurely as If
oysters had been served to 1t In this
way all of its days.
"fhe oldest thing occurred one day
when my neighbor gave the gull some
small pieces of meat for dinner. He
placed the meat ON the ground near
the gull, but the gull, espying pan
of water near by, took the meat. piece
by piece, and, walking over, dropped
1t into the water. Then. true TO its
nature, it began fishing for it's dinner y

HEALTHFULNEss In HAVANA,
Death Kate In Reported as Being
below That of Most Amert- -
can Citiea,

A report has been received at the
war department from Gen. Wood show
ing that the death rate for the CITY
OF Havana for the month of February
was 1882 per 1000, which is said to
be below the average of most Ameri-
can cities. The death rate, it is stated,
steadily decreases, and this is taken
as an indication of improved sanitary
conditions. During the last February
OF Spanish rule, in 1898, the death rate
was S2.32 per 1000.
The report compares Havana's
health statistics with those of num-
Der of eastern and southern cities of
the United States, most of which are
shown to have a higher death rate
than Havana. At present, it is stated,
the cities look upon Havana with sus-
plcion, but, says the report, Havana
Will have to guard against them in
the near future.
AS to yellow fever, it Is shown that
in February, 1900, Havana had II cases
OF that disease, against only eight new
cases during the February just past.
Taking into consideration the fact
that the number of nonimmunes was
much larger in February, 1901, this
showing is regarded as very encourag-
ing.
Exhaustive measures are now being
taken against the spread of the disease
in Havana. Besides disinfecting the
houses the rooms occupied by yellow
fever patients are screened as soon
as the case is reported, and all mos
quitoes in the building and adjoining
dwellings, killed by the fumes of py-
rethrum powder. I.

It was after dinner and the woman

looked over your shoulder you felt az

But the fortune teller gave them a
shock. 1t was when she was disclosing
the future for the sixth or seventh
time that evening. The teT,er had told
the tellee TO make her wish and cut.
(Cut the cards. of course: not cut and
run.) The tellee had obeyed. Then
the woman from Australia began to

SPEED OF SOLAR SYSTEM.
Sum, Moon and Stars Are All Going
Somewhere at the Rate of
10000 Miles an Hour,

According to Prof. Simon Newcomh,
the great astronomer, the most i'm
portant achievement in astronomy
during the nineteenth century waa the
determination OF the rate of speed at
which the solar system is moving
through space. Astronomers are noE
able to say with certainty that the sun.
moon and stars are all going some
where at the rate of 10000 miles an
hour. Where they started from and
whittier they are bound are questions
which must be left for future sci
entists to solve. At any rate, says the
Chicago Tribune, the discovery is suf-
tieient 10 emphasize the unimportance
of men in the scheme Of the universe.
The widest dream of human inventors
looks forward to the distant day when
Il will be possible To travel over the
surface OF the Garth at the rate of 400
or 200 miles In 60, minutes Meanwhile
the whole solar system Eweeps through
space at ratespf speed entirely be-
yond human conllsre hension The only
way to get even a sugg. stion of 'shat
IL means is to imagine travel ling more
than one and a half times around the
world between noon and one oeIech.
Aiarmists who like To picture ihe nW-
fui possibilities of sudden failure of
the laws which govern the harmony of
the spheres can hardly find a more
fruitful subject for their Imagination
than in considering what would hap
pen If the solar system, now running
at 10000 miles an hour. should be in
stantiy brought to a stop. Certainly
space would be filed with flying com
fusion of scattered worlds and shiy-
cred stars.

 In the opini1n of ex-Attorney General Griggs, the best plan to suppress anarchy in the United States is to enact sweeping leg station against it. Evidently the former legal counselor of the pres ident and his cabinet does not fear the results of hard pressure. He believes it both constitutional and expedient that membership in any society advo- eating a creed of murder should be punishable with life imprisonment; {; that it should be made a capital of fense to attempt the life of the pres ident or othsr high officers of the gov ernment, whether the attempt be sue cessful or not; that the importation of members of murderous societies should be prohibited, and in cases where such msrn'bers are found and are aliens, they should be deported. The grounds upon which these proposed laws are regarded as constitutional are that the object sought in these societies and in the violent acts of their members is the subversion of the federal govern inent.
