A TeIephone whistle.

When the earpiece OF a telephone re.
ceiver is held to the mouthpiece OF the
transmitter more or less shrill tone
or whistle is heard in the receiver. This
occurs when the apparatus IS in good
working condition and when the trans
mitter is on short circuit. This effect
is seemingly due to a series Of reactions
analogous to but much more complex
than those which occur In an electric
bell when Its circuit is closed. A move
ment Of the diaphragm OF the receiver
toward its magnet tends TO weaken the
pressure ON the carbon OF the transmit
ter, which causes a weakening of the
current, allowing the diaphragm to fall
away, with the further result that the
air column is compressed, increasing
the pressure ON the carbon again and
also increasing current strength, where
by the diaphragm In again attracted
and this action is repeated over ana
over again.-Cassier's Magazine.

Hundreds Of seals made Nelson Is

black as night as we approached. They

Making Them All One.

An elderly minister is fond of telling
of a .'break" he ohce made at a double
wedding of two sisters. 1t was ar
ranged that the two couples should be
married with one ceremony, the two
brides responding at the same time
and the two bridegrooms doing the
same. There had not been any pre-
vious rehearsal, as the minister had
come a long distance and had reached
the church but few minutes before
the time for the ceremony.
All went well until it came time for
the minister to say, "And now pro
nounce you man and WIFE"
It suddenly became obvious to the
minister that the usual formula would
not do in the case of two men and two
wives. and he could not think of any
way Of making man" and wife"
plural in the sentence. In his despera
ton and confusion he lifted his hands
and said solemnly:
"And now l pronounce you, one and
all, husband and wife,

Th~ Human Mouth.

It has been discovered that the hu'
man mouth is slowly but surely and
steadily moving toward the left Of the
face, which will in time bring it some"
where in the neighborhood of the LETT
ear. All the five great races of man
have an uncomfortable tendency to eat
only with the teeth which grow from
the left jaws. This wears out the left
teeth more rapidly than those on the
right side of the mouth. and this in
turn gives the upper and lower jaws
an inclination toward the left.
1t is the expressed opinion Of many
scientists who are foremost in the
worlds roll of professional honor that
in the course Of time the mouth from
causes above mentioned will have COM
pletely changed its position and that IT
will then be situated rather nearer the
left ear than to the nose.

Oriental Rags.

"Oriental rugs" says a New York
dealer. "are nearly as standard as gold.
When an auctioneer sells you one for
$500, you may think you are getting 1T
cheap, but you can get it at about the
same price from any reputable dealer.
Every rug house has it's agents at anc'
tions, who pay mighty close to the mar
ket price for tie genuine article. when
you have had an oriental rug for ten or
fifteen years, it is worth more than
when you bought it, provided it is in
good condition. 1t is then an antique.
When you hear of any one buying sec.
ondhand oriental rugs at about one
third or one-Quarter Of their value, you
may safely wager that they have been

Trv Thie-DroD a Penny.

Have you ever noticed the interest
that money attracts even if it is only
q single cent? The next time that you
see a copper coin dropped in street
car Just observe Every eye in the
car will turn to the spot where it
dropped and there Will be manifested
a real general concern over its recoV-
ery. Two or three heads are likely
TO come in contact over the point of its
disappearance, and then their owners
will draw suddenly back and try to
appear unconcerned, but i'll another
second they are again leaning forward.
The man who dropped the cent is
usually the first who appears to have
brushed memory of the trivial occur
renee aside, but just as soon as the
ewes in the car have turned from him
his own are sure to go back to the
floor in the hope that the truant coin
will be seen.
When he has gone, there is re-
newed interest among the passengers,
for the stage of finders keepers has
arrived, and those near the spot OF
disappearance become quite diiigent
until they are aware they make cen
ter of attraction. But interest in that
little coin is not lost while there is a
passenger left, and when the car is
amDty the conductor takes his turn
and resurrects the cent.-NeW York

A Bet and Its Odds.

A notorious gambler, who died some

lars to one that six would not be

by a fellow clubman. The dice were
brought, and his opponent actually
threw six nine times in succession. The
gambler then offered $470 to be free

another six.

QUARTZ MINING CLAIM.
A telegram from Seattle announces
the arrival of w. T.. Perkins. who ex-
poets to be in Bismarck about the mid
die of September. Mr.. Perkins is now
interested in quartz mining, and the
Nome News says of a recent venture:
w. T. Perkins and George T. Will
Hams, representing the Northwestern
Commercial Co., have bought from H.
Fl. Clark a half interest in the quartz
claim at the head of Snow Gulch. They
have also leased the other half interest,
and taken an option to buy it.
Fol- some time past MI. Clark has
been working ON this property. He
has sunk several shafts, but none of
them to a greater depth than thirty
feet. These shafts have revealed a
number of stringers that carry free
gold that can be plainly seen in the
rock. The formation is limestone,
and the apparent value of the quartz
stringers makes the property look
promising. MI. Perkins said that he
considered it a good gamble, and worth
risking the money they had put into
IT. and the work they proposed to do in
order to develop it. "a =
"This winter he said, we will sink
a shaft 100 feet deep on. this property
and tunnel an equal distance. II
these stringers come together or join
a ledge of equal assay value we will b.
perfectly satisfied with our purchase
and will bring in a quartz mill next
season. We shall, at least, do all we
can this winter to learn whether we
have a mine, or the remnant Of a ledge

body of ore as rich as a piece that was
