At the meeting of the aldermen last
night Alderman Pilling said that ire
quently the board is called upon to
pass upon important matters. Which
most of the members know practically
nothing about except what they near
from the committees or boards to Wnom
they have been referred. He thought
it would be a good plan it the alder
men would hold a joint session Win
the board of public works and the
other boards now and then and in this
way familiarize themselves with mat
tiers that are to come before them.
In this way he thought the aldermen
would be better qualified to act intel
igently upon public questions than
they can be when they have no knoWl-
edge of the merits OF question be-
yond what is contained in the reports
submitted to them. Chairman Goss
thought it a good idea, but remarked
that the sessions of the board of pub
lie works were open to the public and
that anybody who cared to know the
why and the wherefore of what they
do could attend their meetings.

Sheriff Mcdonald came near getting
mad at the meeting of the board Of al
dermen last night. Mr. Blakeslee was
making a plea for a man who wanted
to get his taxes abated. The gentle
man, he said, was over go, and had but
a very small equity in his place. In
such cases he thought it economy for
the city to abate the taxes and let the
parties support themselves rather than
have the mortgages foreclosed and
make public charges of the applicants.
Hasn't he any children?" inquired Al
derman Walker ooh, yes,'' replied
Mr. Blakeslee, ''but children don't al
ways do the right thing by their par
ents and besides that many of them
have all they can do to scratch for
themselves" Alderman Walker want
ed to know if Mr. Blakeslee considered
man old at 60. The latter said he
thought man at 60 was on the ragged
edge. sob, / don't know about that
What do you think, sheriff. The
sheriff looked across the chamber at
the alderman from the second and put
ting his hand upon the top of his head.
remarked proudly: ''Well, I'm not bald
yet. anyway" Mr. Blakes1ee blushed
and then joined in the general laughter.
More care was exercised in abating
taxes last night than ever before, and
if it is kept up people who can pay will
not be anxious to have their affairs
aired in the aldermanic chamber

THE FORCE OF VIBRATION.
An Architect Tells why a Fiddle Can
Shake q Grent RiiIdinr.


Shake a Great Building.
"What force least expected does
| the greatest damage TO buildngs?"
a News representative asked we'll
known architect.
ut is difficult to tell. But I will
venture to say that you could never
expect violin playing to injure the
walls of a building. Yet that Is GER
tainly the case. There have been in
| stances when the walls of stone and
brick structures have been seriously
Impaired by the vibrations from vio-
lin. OF course these cases are un-
usual, but the facts are established.
The vibrations of violin are some
thing terrible in their unseen, un-
bound force, and when they come in
contact with regularity they bear their
influence upon structures of stone,
brick or iron. OF course 1t takes con-
tinuous playing for many years to
loosen masonry or to make iron brit
tle but that result is obtained. In
the great Masonic Temple in Chicago
l have thought of what the result
might be il n man would stand on the
first floor, at the bottom of the nine
teen-story light well. and play there
continuously. The result could be
more easily seen there than almost
any place else, because the vibration
gathers force as it sweeps upward.
a man can feel the vibrations of a
violin on an ironclad ocean vessel
and at the same time be unable TO
hear the music. 1t is the regularity
of the vibration which means so much.
Like the constant dripping of water
wearing away a stone, the incessant
vibration of the violin makes its way
to the walls, and attacks their solid
fly"
''But why doesn't this vibration af.
feet the player?"
Because n man is flexible object
He can give way to motion and re-
sumo his place again. A frame build
ing would not be damaged by vibra-
ton, because the timbers are flexible.
But it is different with masonry.
"You may have noticed that a dog
NtOSSinS lut LOOn Will lue Pu-
tire building no matter how small a
dog. A dog can shake n suspension
bridge. There are some great and
valuable bridges which dogs are never
allowed to cross, except when carried.
You see, in that case it is the regu-
larity Of the vibration that is so pow
erful. The dogs movement is a fixed
and positive institution. The first
step on the bridge is not noticed so
much, but every step comes just alike,
at the same interval, and with the
same firmness. The force gathers
momentum, and each step makes the
bridge sway more. But there is an
other way that it may perhaps be IL
| lustrated better. AS you sit there
raise one foot partially on tip-toe.
| That's II. Now work your knee up
and down rapidly and regularly. See
how everything in the room rattles
and the floor shakes? That Illus
trates the dog steps power better
| than anything else. You and / and
all our friends could not jump up and
down in this room and shake the floor
as you have just shaken it while sit
ting down and using only the force
Of one leg. 1t is the regularity OF the
vibration which is powerful. Indian

Everybody who comes to Rome must
expect TO be swindled and disappointed.
There are many illusions, and you will
be greatly disappointed when you ap-
proach them and they fade away. You
will be swindled by shopkeepers. hack
men, peddlers and everybody that you
have anything to do with, and the beg
gars will annoy you with their per-
sistence like the faklrs and flower girls
that follow you upon the street. but
all this is a part Of the experience of
everybody who comes here; only such
annoyances are greater in Rome than
in most other places. Begging is a pro-
fession, as in every other italian city,
and the profits are much larger. be-
cause there are more strangers to ap-
peal to. None but inexperienced beg
gars ever approach native Roman,
because they know 1t is useless, bur
they save all their energy and pathos
for strangers, particularly Americans
and English, whom they follow with

why Not vivisect Babies.

The same arguments which would
lead us to vivisect the inferior dumb
animal would lead us to vivisect also
the inferior human animal, says Henry
G. Merwin, in the Atlantic. A grown
dog is equal in intellect TO child a
year old; it is at least equally suscepti-
BILE to pain, anG in point of love and
affection it is much the superior Of the
child. Why not yivisect the child as
well as the dog? A criminal. though
superior in intellect to the dog, is not
or may not be, his superior from the
moral point Of view. Why not vivisect
him?
In classical times human vivisection
was practiced upon a large scale; and
ii would be easy to construct a plausi-
BILE argument in favor of it. We take
the life Of murderer; why not vivi-
sect him? What right has he to be
be exempted from torture any more
than an unoffending dumb animal, who
is equally susceptible to pain? Besides,
1t Is fact, to which attention has
often been called, that, in the interest
of medical science, it would be much
more profitable to dissect men alive
tLan it is to dissect horses or dogs
alive. In other words, It would pay"
better. The viyisection of dumb ami
mails is defended on the ground that
1t pays" and 1t Is hard TO see why the
vivisection of criminals could not be
defended on the same ground. Shall
not one criminal be put to torture, if
thereby something may be discovered
which will prolong the lives of many
innocent, or comparatively innocent
persons?

OF the great ports of the world has had

comforted and assisted US by their
tender ministrations to our beloved
wife and mother in her last hours
and to us in our great sorrow, we de-
sire to extend our gratitude, and,
while we know that death cometh to
all soon or late and its shadow will
at some time wiring the hearts Of

for long; and the best that we Can
wish them when it does come is that
their sorrow may be softened as ours
has been by their kind attention.
