PEcULIARITIEs OF SOUND.
The Kind OF Note best, suiteS For
Long RnnRe signals.


Signals made by. sounds Of explosion
ere not the most reliable. Their pene-
tration is obviously often uncertain,
while, their duration being brief, they
may be missed by momentary, inatten-
tion The reed horn was the more eff
Client instrument as compared with
guncotton cartridges over London. The
siren would probably have been yet
more efficient as also doubtless horn
capable OF producing two notes differ
ing, say, by the interval of a third or a
fifth, a conclusion arrived at many
years ago by experiments which have
been unhappily too much lost sight OF.
Professor piazzi Smith found by trial
that high note was generally more
penetrating as a signal. but advised
that such a note should not be used
alone, assigning as one reason that In
dlyiduals possess note deafness similar
to color blindness, so that no one note
could be trusted. Experiments went TO
prove that sound varying between a
high and a low note best arrested at
tention nc long range.
And the same result has been arrived
mt IN another way. The peculiar cry Of
the Alpine guide, which is. I'm fact. Of
that nature which Professor Smith ad-
yOcates, has doubtless been taught by
the exlgencies Of his. situation. where
his voice is required to carry across
broad and deep ravines. Nature has
taught the same lesson in the Austria
Han wilds, where the characteristic
"Cowl, cowi!" appears essential TO pen
citrate the deep woods.
Nor indeed need we look farther for
an example OF the same kind than our
own village lanes. The high pitched
voices OF children are very farreaching.
Their shouting can be heard farther
away I'm the sky than that of man. and
in calling TO their fellows they always
employ a trick of the voice taught
doubtless by experience. The child
win summon her playmate from far
away with a well practlced sally,
the first syllable, high pitched and pro
longed giving place 10 the second syl-
liable uttered abruptly I'm yet higher
note. And this mode OF calling is uni
versal.-Nineteenth Century.

affairs OF the Everett-Moore syndi-
cate. owning or controlling a number
on urban and inter-urban electric rail-
ways and an extensive system of local
and long.distanoe telephone lines in

seven prominent bankers of this city

financial embarrassment on the part
Of the syndicate, which has for some
time past been affected by the strin-
gency in the money market.
The Everett-Moore Syndicate is
accredited with controlling more than
200 miles of urban and interurban
electric lines In Ohio and Michigan,
with many new extensions still In the
course of construction. The syndicate
also owns outright or controls nearly
all the telephone lines In Ohio. The
aggregate capitalization of all the
various properties owned or con.
troled by the syndicate Is said to be
about sl3OOOo.oOO.
H. r. Newcomb, chairman of the
committee of bankers looking into the
affairs Of the syndicate said that the
syndicate had secured heavy loans
from a large number Of eastern banks
and from banks IN the interior OF
Ohio. Pennsylvania and Michigan, and
so far as they have been able to ex
press themselves the loaning institu
tlon regards the syndicate securities
as gilt-edgc and actually worth 10 I,

KILLED A MINISTER.
Well Known Baptist Preacher
Shot Down by Irate
Father.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, October 9.-(Spe-
cial)-At Henderson, KY, the Rev. Will
Lam Prince. well-known Baptist min
lister, was shot and killed last night as he
stepped from the door of his church at
Zion, a little settlement six miles south
OF Henderson. The shot was fired by
Pole Walton, farmer, who surrendered
himself Immediately after the shooting.
Walton alleges in his defence that the
minister who was an elderly Widower,
persisted in paying court to his daughter.
The father repeatedly threatened him
with death unless he put an end to his
suit. but the minister refused to regard
his warnings.
He called at Nalton's home yesterday
when the farmer was away from home.
On his return Walton's wife told him
of the preachers visit, and the result
was that her husband armed himself
with a rifle and assassinated the unwel-
come suitor at the threshold OF his
church.
