Tonight Allegheny is a modern Venice
and every sort of improvised water craft
is in service. Every street in the low
lying districts of the city from Hers Is
land to the western penitentiary has more
or less water in it, in some places it is
from two to four feet deep, forcing the
householders either to abandon their
home or move to the upper floors. In
numerous cases families have taken their
cook stoves to the attic and have PRE-
pared to camp out as if it were until the
waters subsde. All Of the railroad tracks
except the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne and
Chicago are submerged and many fac
tories have been closed down. The wes-

uniting with and confusing the same,
causing much annoyance during the day
and often preventing sleep at night.
These head noises are what doctors call
''tinnitus aurium" They may resemble
the buzzing of bees; the humming of in

a wood fire; the singing of a tea kettle;
the hiss of a serpent, a goose, or of es-
Gaping steam; the rumbling of machinery;
the murmur of running water; the tinkling
or ringing Of bells; the purring of con-
tented cat; the cooling of doves; the
soughing of the wind; and many other
forms of sound. The everlasting dia0olic

Ninety per cent of all cases of deafness,
and nearly every case that is accom-
panied by head noiss, are due to catarrh
of the eustachian tubes. These tubes are
small and a little swelling or thickening
of their lining membrane due to catarrh
is sufficient to so diminish their calibre
as to shut off the natural vent for used
sound. Owing to the difficulty in blowing
sucking or hawking out the mucuS secre-
ton Or catarrhal matter it may of itself
interfere with the exit of used sounds
without much thickening of the mucous
membrane lining the tubes. Closure may
be of both tubes or only one. in which
case there may be head noises in only one
ear and the hardness of hearing may be
quite overlooked as the unaffected ear
serves to fully appreciate sounds.
Closure may be complete or only partial

being usually in proportion to the degree
of obstruction.

The ear consists of three parts; the ex-
ternal ear; the tympanum or middle ear;
and the labyrinth or internal ear.
By the external ear we mean the
pima or tissue that projects on each
side of the head to assist to gather sound
waves and the auditory canal or tube
through which they are conducted to the
ear drum.
The ear drum is the membranous parti-
tion that separates the external from the
middle ear
The middle ear or "tympanum" starts
from the inner side of the ear drum ard
extends to the internal ear. The middle
ear contains three movable bones, the
''malleus' or hammer, the "incus" or
anvil, the "stapes'' or stirrup which
form a chain across the middle ear and
connect with the internal ear. The
"eustachian tube" leads from the pharynx
or back part of the throat upwards to the
middle ear allowing air to enter and
used sounds to escape from that cavity.
The internal ear or t1abyrinth" consists
of the "vestibule." the semi circular
canals the "cochea." and flaments OF
the auditory nerve. ~ n
Sound is carried through the ear in the
form of waves. These waves of sound
are gathered by the external ear and
pass through the auditory canal, striking
the ear drum which vibrates. These vi
brations pass along the chain of movable
bones through the middle ear to the in
ternal ear where they are taken up by
the filaments of the auditory nerve ami
carried to the brain. Sc we really hear
with the brain, the ear only gathers and
transmits the sound.
After sound vibrations have reached the
brain they, like the water which has
passed mill wheel, should get out of the
way and make room for more. This they
should do through the escape pipe or
'ieustachian tube" If water below the
mill be backed up on the wheel it
ceases to perform it's function properly.
If used sound waves be blocked and ni-
prjsoned they vibrate back and forth
through the caverns of the ear being
broken and subdivided until they have
little meaning, are in fact but a confused
comingling of fractional sounds known
as head noises" that greatly interfere

GOLD BRICK CONv|CTS
Chief Justice Furches Grants
a Writ of Error.
The Three Men Now in States Prison Seek Aid
From the Supreme Court of the
Unied States.

The Gold Brick Men" of Chicago are
still at work trying to get away from
their residence in the States Prison.
Mr.. E. ]. Best, who was their attorney
in the habeas corpus proceedings, had
another try at the matter and urged the
cause of his clients before Chief Justice
Furches of the Supreme Court.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Furches
granted a writ of error from the Supreme
Court of North Carolina to the Supreme
Court of the United States in the case Of
these men, who are j. l.. Howard, A. l..
Daley and H. D. Hawley. This sends
the proceedings of the courts of the State
for review on error before the United
States Supreme Court and gives the gold
brick trio another chance to fight Cor
freedom.
year ago these men were convicted in
the Superior Court at Greensboro of at
tempting to cheat and defraud, and were
sentenced to the peniteitnary. The case
was appealed to the Supreme Court which
sustained the lower court. Appeals We're
made to the Governor on behalf of the
men, but to no avail.
Up to this time the prisoners had been
represented by Messrs. Bynum & Bynuln,
of Greensboro, and L. A. Gilmore, of Chi
cago. Mr.. E. ]. Best, of Raleigh, was
called into the case and he obtained a
hearing before Judge Purnell on writ Of
habeas corpus. On the hearing he dis
missed the writ, refused to discharge the
prisoners and remanded them to the GUS
tody of the State.
Now another attempt at freedom is
made on the writ of error which has
been sued out and a desperate fight to
have this allowed is to be made before
the United States Supreme Court. This
being allowed, the case will come back to
the State courts for another hearing.

Cincinnati, o., March 1-Prince Hen
ry of Prussia traversed the States oe
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio today
and tonight his special train is speeding
through Kentucky into Tennessee, with
the battlefields around Chattanooga as
its final Southern goal.
He stopped for formal receptions ct
Altoona, Pittsburg, Columbus and Gin
cinnatli, but the welcome extended to
him was not limited to those places.
Everywhere along the line after daylight
came and until after darkness the peo-
pie gathered at the stations to cheer him
as he speeded along.
The storm that swelled the rivers to
the danger point had passed away and
ne saw a zone of three States in bright
sunshine. He saw stretch Of fifty
miles of the Allegheny mountains from
the cab of an engine and most of it was
down grade at q speed that thrilled The
train had lost two hours at Portage by
reason of wreck to the westward OF
that point and when the special got a
clear track again an attempt, was made
to win back some CT the time that had
been lost. AT times the swaying engine
was running sixty miles an hour, and
when the Prince left the cab he was
almost as grimy as the engineer. When
not responding to the receptions he was
busy sightseeing and studying a large
map which had been set up in his car
He asked many questions as to the in :
dustries of Pennsylvania and Ohio and
made extended notes on the margin of
the map.
The Prince left the dining table to
acknowledge the cheers of a small crowd
that had gathered about a water tank
outside of E.denia. They numbered less
than fifty, but when the Prince heard
THAT they wanted to see him, he oblig
ugly left the table and went to the rear
platform. He bowed to the little crowd
hnd then waved his napkin which he
carried with him.
Much of the time lost at Portage
'enna., was made up in Ohio, and unless
here are other unforeseen delays, the
rain will regain it's position on the
chednle during the night.
