Porcelain Violins.

A well-known manufacturer OF musical
instruments in Germany-Max Fryer-has
introduced a process for making violins
from clay. These hddles are OF the ordi-
nary pattern, but are cast in molds. so that
each instrument is an exact counterpart
OF its fellow.
II is said-but Il Is somewhat hard to
beHeve-that the porcelain body acts as a
better resonator than one OF wood and
that the tone OF the instrument is there
fore singularly pure and full The same
Inventor is also making mandolins of
china clay. and II seems that they are
much appreciated In southern countries
where this instrument is regarded more
seriously than II is in Britain. says Cham
bers' Journal. The obvious DISADVANTAGE
OF a musical instrument being made OF
china clay is the brittleness of that ma
terial. as we'll as it's weight. but both
these dawbacks seem 20 have been for
gotten. For some time we have heard ru-
mors OF most excellent violins being made
OF aluminium, and this metal. from its
extreme lightness and other qualities,
would seem to be admirably adapted to
such purpose.

New SYork. Feb 13-Petition for the
probate OF the will of Marcellus Hartley
who died on January s. was filed by
George w. Hebard, OF 120 Broadway.
sole surviving executor through the law
firm OF Guthrie Cravath & Henderson,
OF 40 Wall street In the surrogate's office
yesterday.
Neither the original nor copy OF the
will was filed. The petition states that
the will was executed on March 25 1881.
and was witnessed by w. O. Ross and
Louis Keller. The value OF the estate is
said TO be -over $4,000 in personal and
over $4,000 in real property"
The heirs az law and next OF kin are
Helen Hartley jenkins, OF Morristown. ".
OF 2S2 Madison avenue. a grandson. and
Fannie Chester White Hartley. widow, OF
232 Madison avanue.
The petition further states that Mrs.
jenkins receives a legacy OF "over 81
and devise OF over a similar amount"
Mrs. Hartley. the widow. is said 20 re-
ceive "a devise OF over $4,000" while
Marcellus Hartley Dodge. the grandson.
gets nothing.
In filing the petition Mr.. Hebard ex-
plained IL thus:
while II is true that the will OF the
late Marcellus Hartley provides for the
grandson. Maraelus Hartley Dodge, who
is a student I'm Columbia University. only
in n superficial way, the petition filed to-
day IS merely a legal document. which
places the estasc In figures which are
the lowest allowed in law.
The value OF the estate is said TO be
over s10A10 personal and over $4,000 real
property These 1gures were named for
the reason that at she present time no APP
praisementN could n.pssibly be made. and
we stated thu lowest valuation i'm the pc
titlon so that we should be safely on the
under side OF whatever valuation may be
found after we have made an examina-
ton OF the estate.
The will was made about twenty
years ago when the grandson was in
mere infancy. therefore "a made only cur
sorry mention OF the child IN the will, but
Mr. Hartley left attached 20 the will a
letter OF instruction to his surviving rela-
fives. his wife and daughter. expressly
providing for his sandsons suitable

will therefore make sStch disposition or

Mr.. Hebard denied the report that the

anything to do with the purchase and

7ales of Prince Henry.

Though owing 10 the acdders OF birth
q Younger yon, II was the fate OF Prince
Henry of PRUSSIA to play q comparative
obscure part in the history OF his coun-
Try compared with his brother William.
he has escaped the fierce light that beats
about q throne and secured an affection
In the hearts OF his countrymen that per-
adventure had noa been his as a first
horn.
He is the hero OF countless anecdotes
from hts youth up, which are always
cropping out In the land of his birth
says the New York Telegram
A lght-hearted. lovable fellow I'm his
school days, with keen sense OF fun, one
day while rambling through the palace
grounds at Potsdam he Hgan picking
flowers and handing them TO his sister
Charlotte. A newly engaged custodian
walked up 10 the children and warned
them that the pursuit was forbidden
When he found that the boy was not dis
posed 20 be docile the custodian said
"come with me, little fellow; we shall
have to see about this
with pleasure" answered the boy
''but must first 60 and inform my papa
Where does you papa liver "Over
there"-pointing to the palace-"and he is
the crown prince"
In his earlier life he was accustomed
20 speak quite frankly 10 his elder broth
er. "Oh. am not afraid OF him. he said
once. II have read that since the French
revolution he has no power over me-"
Among the studies which the young
prince pursued at this time was the sci
ence Of making clocks. II was the belief
OF the late emperor that every member
az the royal house should provide for all
possible vlcissitudes by learning a trade.
and thus II was that while Henry was
learning TO be a clockmaker the present
emperor was acquiring complete
knowledge of glovemakng. IL was 20 this
lovab.e prince that the late Emperor

Where does the esuperabundant electric
energy of a thunderstorm come from?
In the annual report Of the United
States Weather Bureau, condensation
is credited with large share in its
production. When small, feebly
charged particles of mist are welded
together, as it were, into raindrops,
since the potential increases as the
square of the mass, high tension may
easily be developed. Ten drops, each
charged to one thousand volts will
thus produce one drop charged to one
hundred thousand volts. As soon as
drops begin to form at the beginning
of storm, the relatively small tension
of the atmospheric charges soon be-
comes enormously multiplied, and dis.
ruptive lightning discharges are the
result.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1902-11-17

Most persons do not discriminate
between hunger and appetite" said n
doctor of long experience. Appetite
is what makes a man drink or smoke,
and what makes most men and women
eat Many go through life never
knowing what hunger really is. 1
often fast sixty hours and never feel
the worst for it. A friend of mine, a
physician in Brooklyn, goes without
food sixteen days at stretch, and
keeps up his work meanwhile. There
isn't an organ that can contract any
disease from lack Of food. Most of
them do become diseased through the
effort to take care of too much food.
They are all in better tone after a fast.
Another thing: hunger is felt only in
the mouth and throat. That gone
feeling that many complain of is not
hunger; that is form of disease. If
persons would eat only when they were
hungry and only as much as hunger,
not appetite, called for-well, we doc
tors would have to fast."-New York
Press.

A young man, whose gallantry was
largely in excess of his pecuniary
means, sought to remedy this defect
and to save the money required for
the purchase of expensive flowers by
arranging with gardener to let him
have a bouquet from time to time in
return for his cast off clothes. So it
happened that one day he received q
bunch Of the most beautiful roses,
which he at once dispatched to his
lady love. In sure anticipation Of a
friendly welcome. he called at the
house Of the young woman the same
evening, and was not little surprised
at frosty reception.
After a pause the young woman re-
marked in the most frigid tones: "You
sent me a note to-day"
"A note-I?"
Certainly, along with the flowers"
ITO be sure, 1 sent you flowers;
but"
And this note was with the bouquet.
Do you mean to deny it?"
And the young man read: "Don't for
get the old trousers you promised me
the other day."-New York Tribune.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1902-11-17

A writer in the Contemporary Re-
view discusses the growth of fraud.
He maintains that of late years
breaches of trust have been very nu-
merous in England. "The newspapers
have reported case after case of fraud
by trusted professional agents and by
other persons, some of these rogues
being distinguished among men, and
notable for the assured effrontery of
their suave utterances of the highest
principles of professional conduct"
This proposition is supposed to be
demonstrated by official records. The
average yearly number of crimes, or
indictable offences, reported to the
police in England and Wales during
the period 1SS5-S9 was S6,903, those
classed as frauds numbering 1879
During the period 1S90-94 the figures
We're 1881 and 206S From 1S95-90
they We're 79459 and 2599. Thus it
would seem that, while crime in gen.
eral was materially decreasing, frauds
were rapidly multiplying. Other
crimes fell off ten per cent. in number
in fifteen years, while frauds increased
more than thirty-eight per cent.

Miss Pauline. But he was inspired
with an unwonted enthusiasm, and
when he got into his cab he told the
driver to take him to newspaper
| office. There he wrote out this adver.
| tisement: For sale: 500 barrels of per.
feet winesaps from Shafers farm, near
| Clare, Mich. Quick bargain. X So"
He got fifty or more answers the
next day and threw all but one in the
waste basket. 1t read: "K so. Dear
sir. If you call with sample at my
office, S14 Futurity Building, 1 will
make an offer. Pauline Davis, agent"
She was sitting at her desk, more "a
diant than ever, when he walked in
with the little red apple in his extended
hand. He saw her blush furiously as
she stood up, but she said:
"Why, Mr.. Conkling. You didn't buy
those"
eyes, Miss Davis, I bought them.
You see 1 wanted"
But you're not in the apple busi-
ness?"
"Oh, no. just happened to over
hear your conversation in the bus that
night and wanted to help you out"
But I know you must have been
swindled. Did you pay more than two
fifty? Honest, now, Mr.. Conkling"
She smiled ingenuously, then laughed
with delight as he lied:
mo, miss. Only two-forty. Will you
take them off my hands at once?"

I'll share the profits with you"
"If you are pleased, 1 have already
collected my profits" he said, and she
blushed as her bright eyes smiled
again.
Owen Conkling didn't leave till he
had fixed up his first business deal to
the eminent satisfaction of Miss Davis,
but he went like a somnambulist back
to the depot and took train for Clare.
There he repeated his journey to Sha-
fer's, and when he came away he had
an invoice made out to Miss Pauline
