with the military service of the United

to be tried by court-martlal on the charge
of duplicating his pay accounts for three
months. amounting to about S4O0.
The officials Of the department are not ad-
vised as to the details of the transaction
beyond the fact that he received pay in
advance before leaving San Francisco, and,
after arriving at Manila, applied for and
received pay again for the same period. The
only explana alton offered for his action was
that he fell in with fast company on the
transport going over and lost his money at
cards.

A Medieval Megaphone.

From the st. James Gazette.
A curiosity Of great antiquity Is still to
be seen within st. Andrews Church at
Willoughton near Gainsborough, says a
Sunday magazine. This Is quaint speak
ing trumpet with an obscure early history,
dating back to the times Of the Knights
Templars. In shape it resembles French
horn, and is more than five feet long, hav-
ing a bell at the end Of the graduated tube.
1t was formerly six feet in length, but is
now telescoped at the joints where the
metal has apparently decayed. Tradition
declares it was formerly sounded from the
tower to summon aid in case of need, as,
when blown at a height, the weird deep
notes the trumpet produced could be heard
a great distance away in bygone days 1t
is believed that this curious instrument has
often been used to call together the viii
layers thus dispensing with the usual bell
and to give additional power and strength
to the choir, being then probably used by
the chief singer, as the trumpet intensifes
vocal sound to marked degree.

The question is whether these same lrSin-

ergy of the Texas operator has been very
great, with the fuel oil worth but 25 or 80
cents q barrel. AT that price only wells
that flow freely are profitable. but should
the price increase for any reason wells that
would not otherwise be worth pumping
would be operated. The possibility OF any

viewed from the standpoint Of experience
