BEASTS CHARMED BY MUSIC.
Varying Effects Produced Upon DIFF

The pleasing legend of Orpheus and the
wild beasts has lately been put to the
proof in Europe in series of tests to
determine whether music hath charms to
soothe the savage beast. Not long since
a concert was given at the poultry show
at Posen The fowls listened intently,
and the only one which did not seem
pleased was an old turkey cock, which
gave every evidence of noisy disapproval.

DENT CANTOR ADVISES BUILDING OF
PIPE GALLERIES WITH SUBWAY.

The leakage of gas from badly Joined pipes In the
streets of this city and the possibility of over
coming il in lower Broadway by the construction
of pipe galleries is the subject OF report to Pres
dent Jacob A Cantor by Professor James c. Bayles
an expert on gas leakage William r. Corwine on
behalf Of the Merchants Association had suggested
20 President Cantor that 1t would be dangerous TO
assemble gas mains and the high tension electric
conductors in the same tunnel. Professor Bayles
tfinhs there would be nothing In the way Of OK
posve mixture OF gas and air. as in such galleries
leakage would be obviated. The difficulty now is
that the pipes are laid without provision for con-
Hacuoh and expansion, which from midwinter TO
Hhosunmer makes difference in length of two
anches in thousand feet a year. In nine galleries
IL is possible to hang pipes in such a way that
movement is allowed.
