New .honugrnph 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 TIE in
terposition OF rubber tube connec-
tion. 1t has been proposed, says the
Scientific American, to use two horns
communicating with opposite sides Of
the .reprCducer diaphragm. with the
discharge ends arranged side by side.
TIL purpose Of this construction is to
improve the tone. quality and power.
Furthermore, il has been proposed for
a similar purpose to employ humber
OF independent horns mounted upon a
part to which a rotary movement is
given. The horn in this case consists
of a large bell or hood embracing
number of small horns communicating
at their smaller ends with a trans
mitter having mouth. a throat leads
from the mouth to the diaphragm
frame Of the sreproducer. 1t is claimed
that ts-nuslc. Noca1sor instrumental, is
Reproduced BY this new horn with
great clearness, and that the power of
every sound is materially improved.

arI Famine Threatened.

are threatened by famine
wH is already showing itself and
beginning its pinching work. The
center of this famine is in Paris and
Americans are said to be responsible
for it, and will, with the rest of civil
ization, have to suffer its dire conse-
quences. Already has it's presence
been fe.. in New York. This famine
does not mean starvation, though it
does mean denial, not in the matter
of daily bread. but in the important
matter of pearls. Pearls have of late
been growing core and more popular,
more and more rare, and, therefore,
more and more expensive.
Pearl necklaces that our grand
mothers wore are being resurrected,
and the jewellers of Paris and New
York are being called on to supply
most unusual demand for these chaste
ornaments. Americans are said to
be the great pearl hunters, and so
keen is their pursuit that prices are
mounting daily. A pearl necklace
which sold for $4,000 twelve years ago
will today cost from $4,000 to $4,000.

PASSING of Sailing 5arks.

Not many years ago the East river
water front was forest of masts. y
Today a dozen smokestacks take
their place. Poetry has given place
IN the dullest and driest of prose. An
illustration of the sorowful pass to
which sailing vessels in the merchant
marine have come was related last
week by the son of once wealthy
slipowner now dead.

I!i.I, I,;rh:S,

Among the drawbacks of civilization
are the people who think they know
us SO much better than We know them.
A philosopher is a man who believes
that he receives more spiritual intima-
tions than he needs for his own use.
Even the woman who boasts that
she earns her own bread and butter
likes to have man treat her to ice
cream.
What seems to be the absence of a
sense of humor is often merely the
presence of a sense of proprIety.
Nature has her iesting moods; there
are rich, red roses which have no
odor.
Pessimists are permitted to keep op-
tinists from becoming pessimists.
Life is often too much like lsng
