10 REPLACE STREET PIANOS.
A New, Loud monograph Apparatus
on Wheels.


Two Springfield inventors have per-
fected a new and novel device by
which the photograph is applied to
street piano use with remarkably sue
cessfuI and satisfactory results. The
device has been patented and the in
yentors expect to manufacture the i'm
struments and have them furnishing
music for the public within a few
months. The device is expected to
take the place of the street piano and
Old-fashioned hand organ, for it offers
the very material advantage of an end
less variety of musical selections in
place of the few hackneyed tunes
which are included in the repertory Of
the average street instrument. The de-
vice is so constructed as to give a
greater volume of sound by fully one
third than any other photographic in
strument, and the articulation is also
remarkably clear. 1'hA e~cen.r as.
pect of the machine is that of a largs
square box about 35s feet long and
about 2 feet wide and high, mounted
on four rubber-tired wheels. At either
end Of the box are small handles. and
on one side is round hole, covered
with wire screen. Opposite the wire
screen, on the back of the box, is a
small door, made to serve as a dia-
phragm or sounding board, and the
photograph is located inside directly
in front Of this door. Inside sys-
tenn Of wires is arranged, they being
SO strung as to flare like a horn. The
rear door is much smaller than the
opening in the front. and the wires
spread outward as they extend toward
the front. In the middle Of the sys-
TEN of wires is the photographic in
strument in the ordinary form. and
underneath is the apparatus for NOV
ing the disc. At either end of the
box are small compartments for extra
records. For street use monograph
must Of necessity have a very intense
volume of sound. and clearness is also
essential, and the inventors have in
this case accomplished this to a re-
markable degree. The same princi-
pie that has been used in this machine
to increase the volume of sound can
be applied to ordinary monographs to
advantage. The instruments will be
manufactured and rented to those
who are engaged in the business of
furnishing street music, and it is ex-
pected that they can also be made
features Of evening entertainments,
picnics, clambakes. etc.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct 24.-Two

RULES OF MEASUREMENT.

Win thlrty-HVe boats represented
and 200 members present, the New
York Yacht club last night adopted the
report of the committee appointed in
February last to revise the present
racing rules with reference to the
measurement of racing craft. The
principal change effected is the intro
duction of the factor of hull dispIace-
ment with the factors of lengths and
sail area previously considered. The
formula, as it now stands, reads as
follows: Length multiplied by square
root of sail area, divided by five times
cube root of displacement" The
changes in rules of measurement will
not apply to races for the Americas
cup. the conditions Of these races being
fixed In the deed Of gift.

THE APPLE CROP.

The crop of apples brought to har-
vest makes a liberal total according
to the final estimate of the New Eng
land Homestead in its report Of Octo-
Der 25, placed at 100000 barrels
against 27.O0O.OOO barrels in 1901. The
latest crop presents some marked con-
trasts when placed beside that of a
year ago. In the older established
orchard sections in the middle and
eastern states the increase over last
years failure is very pronounced. In
the central west there are also sharp
gains, while in the southwest, terri
tory last year favored by exceptions
ally good Yields, the crop this season
is unusually deficient AS for quail
1ty, this is far from satisfactory in the
central and western states, according
to the Homestead. In the east ap-
pies range from very poor to excep-
tionally good, with liberal quantities
In the aggregate suitable for autumn
crop is not full one, vet liberal
surplus, quality uneven. Ohio has a
good many apples for shipment, so
with Missouri while Arkansas and
Kansas are far behind last year. New
York, the most important apple state,
has big crop, vet less than the bump
er yield of 1896. The outturn Is very
uneven in quality. The crop in New
England is very much better than last
year, when it was failure The Ca
madam crop varies greatly in quality,
total yield liberal, with the exception
OF Nova Scotia, which this season
faces failure. Apple buyers were
in the field early, and the campaign
has been active. Within the past
fortnight prices in many instances
have shown a slight hardening tenden-
cy, particularly for varieties of we'll
selected apples. The domestic de-
mand is excellent, and the export trade
is highly encouraging, five times as
large this season to date as a year
ago, when supplies were light and
prices too high for foreigners.

ON THE GRIDIRoN.
Waterbury High school VIII Play
Hartford High To-morrow.

Tomorrow afternoon at o'clock one,
of the best football games of the sea-
son Will be played at the Athletic field
between the elevens OF the Waterbury
High school and the Hartford High
school, This is the first time that
those two teams have played in sew
eral years and there is not the best of
feeling between them. Waterbury
won the Yale cup last year, while
Hartford captured the Trinity cup last
year, and there was a question as to
which was the champions Of the state.
There wouldn't have been any ques-
ton if the two teams had played, for
Waterbury would have won easily.
They intend to win tomorrow, but not
SO easily as last years team would
have. The lineup Of the team will
probably be the same as in the game
last Saturday. Hartford will come
here loaded down with confidence, oW-
ing to many victories this season, one
of which was over Taft. which was
beaten by score ofp6 to 5. This will
probably be the last game of the sea-
son by the local team and consequent
" there should be large attendance.
The Company A football team will
play III NauSdIucK against the Manga
tuck football team tomorrow after
noon. If the Naugatuck team is as
strong as the team last year the game
will be most interesting one.
The football game between the elev-
ems Of the Merrimac A. G. and North
End A. Q. at the Driving park on Sun
day afternoon at $50 promises to be a
very interesting. and close game Both
teams are said to be evenly matched
and their players are in good condi-
ton. The Merrimacs have been prac-
ticing steadily since their game with
the Cadets last Sunday and are now in
good shape.

GIRLS ADOPT CURE FOR SLANG.
Tally Sheet Where Each Must Keep
Her Own Score.

Tally Sheet Where Each Must Keep
Her Own Score.
In one of the New London factories
where there are a number of young
women employed the girls have been
in the habit Of using more or less
slang as they worked. Last week a
few Of the girls became quite
aroused because it was discovered that
there was not one out Of twenty girls
who worked in one section of the fac
tory who did not use a slang phrase
in about every sentence that she ut
tered. The girls decided to try some
remedy for the evil. They found that
lit did no good to tell another that she
had just used slang word, for on the
next instant the girl whom one had
corrected would be correcting her.
When one girl had finished saying
that another talked ''too much hot
air. another girl would correct her by
saying her language was s.the limit 4
This would cause another girl to tell
them both that they were insists in
the use Of the English language
The remedy that the girls adopted
was large tally sheet in which the
name of each girl is written. Every
time that a girl uses slang she is
obliged to walk up to the tally sheet
and score a check on line with her
name. The system has accomplished
wonders and after two or three days
but a small percentage of the girls
were obliged to check up more than
one or two bits of slang during day.
The young women are going to decide
later what the penalty win be for the
girl who has the most marks against
her name in two weeks time.
