New Phonoeraph Horn.

A single horn Is ordinarily used In
monographs to discharge the sounds,
the small end of the horn being con-
nected with the short tube of the re-
producer either directly or by the in
terposition of rubber tube connec-
ton. 1t has been proposed, says the
Scientific American, to use two horns
communicating with opposite sides of
the reproducer diaphragm, with the
discharge ends arranged side by side.
Tn purpose of this construction Is to
improve the tone, quality and power.
Furthermore. 1t has been proposed for
a similar purpose to employ number
OF independent horns mounted upon a
part to which rotary movement Is
given. The horn in this case consists
Of a large bell or hood embracing q
number of small horns communicating
at their smaller ends with q trans
mitter having mouth. A throat leads
from the mouth to the diaphragm
frame of the reproducer. II Is claimed
that MUSIC, vocal or instrumental, il
reproduced by this new horn with
great clearness, and that the power Of
every sound is materially improved.

A remarkable shell Of a new type
that has just been introduced into the
German army Is stated to be receiving
the close attention of the British War
Once, says the London Mail.
BY the introduction of a cartridge
composed of amorphorus phosphorus
into the ordinary charge of smokeless
powder a thick white smoke is emitted
when the shell bursts. thus showing
the gunners, even at the greatest dis
lance, how close the projectile has
gone to the enemys position.
BY increasing the proportion Of thi.
chemical. an operation which does no
lessen the bursting effect, 1t is held t
be possible to deposit in front of tn,
enemy's position thick wall of whit,
smoke which for many seconds vii
altogether obiiterate his view of tn
field.
The experiments in the German arm,
have proved highly satisfactory, and |
is said that the invention is almos
sure to be adopted in England.

HANGING GARDENS.
A Traveller Describes Those He Has Re-
Gently seen In Eastern Arsbia.

A Traveller Describes Those He Has Re-
Gently seen In Eastern Arsbia.
The hanging gardens of Babylon,
constructed over SEQ years before the
Christian era,s were reckoned at that
time among the wonders Of the world.
A hanging garden is garden formed
In terraces rising one above the other.
There were five Of these gardens at
Babylon each consisting of an artificial
hill. 400 feet square, the sides divided
into terraces of earth resting on stone
platforms covered with groves, avenues
and beds Of flowers and provided with
galleries and banqueting rooms. They
were irrigated from a reservoir at the
summit filed with water raised from
the Euphrates.
There are today many hanging gar
dens in various parts of the world par
ticularly on mountain sides in China,
water being raised in buckets some
times thousands of feet to irrigate
them. Col. s. B. Miles of the British
army has just described TIE hanging
gardens he found on the mountains in
the interior of Arabia about 60 miles
southwest of the trading port of Mus
cat. Visitors have to cross stretch
Of desert to reach this beautiful region
of verdure amid the thirst lands.
One of the inland towns is Sheraizi
perched on the brow of a lofty cliff
which falls to the valley beneath. The
town is built on SO steep a declivity
that the houses appear to overhang one
another, the only communication be-
lpg by means of steps leading from
one to another row Of buildings. Just
below the town ia q copious spring of
pure water gushing from the rock in
sufficient quantities to meet the re-
quirements of the inhabitants and to
supply the channels that fertilize the
hanging gardens below.
These extensive gardens, spread
along the precipitous valley walls, are
the most beautiful feature of Sheraizi.
The whole face of the mountain side
to depth of over one thousand feet
is cut into a parallel series of lodges
or terraces. Owing to the sharp angle
of the slope, the lodges are not over 10
to IL feet in width. The inhabitants
would be glad of greater depth of soil
and the garden spots have been en-
riched by large amount of fertile
earth brought to them.
The steep mountain side is almost
barren except for the beautiful strips
Of green where vineyards, orchards and
wheat fields are bearing. These curl
Gus gardens with their varied foliage
and ripening fruit, grain and vege-
tables form very attractive and pleas
ing sight. The labor bestowed on the
terraces would have been futile with
out an abundant supply Of water and
in this respect nature has been prod
igal, the strips of'cultivation being cas-
lily and perpetually irrigated by the
mountain stream which is led from
one ledge to another and is kept from
overfiowing by little embankments
along the margin.

Clever! You score! But to return

Clever! You score! But to return
to the story.
'The days came and went like an
endless procession of gray phantoms,
until one day letter arrived mention
ing with other home news, the prob
able marriage Of the man and the fair
lady. Then there was a terrific out
burst.
Il remember but one detail-the fig
ure Of the girl lying prone upon the
floor and shaking with sobs. That was
really the last of the girl. l think we
may say that she died that night, and
to the woman who rose in her place
the world has never been quite SO fair
a place. The blue of tn: sky is less
blue, the sunlight is less joyous and
the night wind isn't so full of mystery
and tenderness as when It blew across
the face of the grill"
The last words were scarcely audible
and Miss Wentworth's face was almost
sad. Then she gave an impatient shrug
as IL to rid herself Of unpleasant men,
cries.
We'll, there came a morning when
she opened her eyes, yawned, thanked
heaven that she was alive, and thought
rapturously of love of gown which
was to come home that day. Then she
wondered anxiously If she had gone
off much In looks (she felt as il there
was no bloom lei.D, and she knew by
these tokens that her first love affair
was overland her grlhood decently
laid away in its gravel"
That's about ALT really isn't
much of a story. One may lose an
arm and still be fairly happy. And yet
-one prefers the arm?"
There was something delicately
quizzical in the infection of her words
and something dellcately regretful as
well.
"You see, miss the GIRL" she fin-
ished as she rose and they moved of
across the grass together.
Does 1t occur to you"-Sanford's
voice was grave and pleading-"that
possibly he misses more than the girl?"
The gentle raillery in his compan-
IONS face as she glanced up at him
was more eloquent than words
THAT man, l take it." he continued
huskily, has lost his chancellor
ever?" There was no mistaking his
earnestness now nor the touch Of hau-
teur in Miss Wentworth's manner as
she replied carelessly:
you've been inattentive! The girl
died, you know"
That night she wrote the following
note to somebody else:
Dear Jack:-Love is not eternal.
So, think, II you don't mind, I'll fol-
low your advice and marry you I'm
sitting here in sackcloth and ashes.
abasing myself before your superior
wisdom. sat and talked to the Other
Man today and things fell out precisely
as you predicted. A little door away

banged shut, never to be opened again.
And If 1t were, there'd be nothing be-
hind it but little heap of ashes! He's
growing bald, Jack. If you love me,
never do that. Come up Saturday and
let NE 'splain why 1t has taken me so
long to find out that though there's u
difference, 80 can love as we'll as II.

And then she sealed the letter and
pressed her lips softly to the super
scription a half dozen times-by way
of showing the wisdom Of 32!-The

Ease with Which They Initiate the White
Mans Habits and Speech.
The Alaskan Eskimos are highly in
telligent, industrious. moral and hon.
est according to their standards In such
matters, which differ somewhat from
our own. They are strictly truthful,
of kindly. cheerful disposition and ex-
ceedingly gentle. patient and tactful
in their manners. In illustration of
their intelligence it was interesting
to note that while their language en-
braced but a few hundred words as
against our overwhelming vocabulary,
they and not we maze ali the advance.
evincing the keenest interest in the
acquisition of the white mans tongue.
In voicing their proficiency in this
direction it was not uncommon for
some Of the more sensitive among us
to be shocked upon being saluted by
some precocious maiden with string
of oaths, strangely intoned, culled for
our edification from 'tae explosive
speech in general use among the rep
resentatives of a higher moral devei-
opment.
The natives soon learned such tunes
and songs as were whistled Or sung
in their hearing. These they repro
duced with considerable accuracy,
words and all. The words were, how
ever, generally SOUNDS Theoretically
similar to those heard and were some
times, in fact, quite amusing. This
sudden musical development seemed
remarkable considering that their nat
ural attempts include only monotonous
dronings, accompanied sometimes by
an unmeasured inane drumming on
a sort of tambourine. There are many
artists among them whose carvings
and etch.ngs on ivory are of high ex-
cellence.
There is q marked difference in the
a0aptibility to Caucasian customs be-
tween the men and women of this
race. The men are much keener in
anticipating what is likely to meet
with white favor, and lose no time
in at least concealiDg habits and in
clinations that are seen to be objec-
tionable; while the women make bu'
little progress in this direction. The
contrast Is best shown at the white
mans table, one or two meals sufic-
ing to prevent any painful exhibition
from the men, whereas with the wom-
en- no improvement is to be observed
unselfish solicitude for their absent
friends is sure to evince itself in theil
setting aside the choicest morsels Of
food to be taken to them, never failins
however, to ask leave to do so.-Tht
