IRREGULARITIES OF SOUND.
The Kind OF Note Best Suited For
Long Range signals.

Signals made by sounds of explosion
are not the most reliable. Their pene-
tratiOn is obviously often uncertain,
while, their duration being brief, they
may be missed by momentary inatten-
ton. The reed horn was the more eff
cient instrument as compared with
guncotton cartridges over London. The
siren would probably have been yet
more efficient as also doubtless a horn
capable of producing two notes differ
ing, say, by the interval of a third or q
fifth, n conclusion arrived at many
years ago by experiments which have
been unhappify too much lost sight of.
Professor Piazzi Smith found by trial
that a high note was generally more
penetrating as a signal, but advised
that such a note should not be used
alone, assigning as one reason that in
dividuals possess note deafness similar
to color blindness, so that no one note
could be trusted. Experiments went to
prove that sound varying between a
high and low note best arrested at
tentiOn at long range.
And the same result has been arrived
at in another way. The peculiar cry of
the Alpine guide, which is, in fact, of
that nature which Professor Smith adj
vocates, has doubtless been taught by
the exigencies of his situation, where
his voice is required to carry across
broad and deep ravines. Nature has
taught the same lesson in the Austria
liam wilds, where the characteristic
"Cowi, cowir' appears essential to pen
citrate the deep woods.
Nor indeed need we look farther for
an example of the same kind than our
own village lanes. The high pitched
voices of children are very farreaching.
Their shouting can be heard farther
away in the sky than that of man. and
in calling to their fellows they always
employ n trick of the voice taught
doubtless by experience. The child
will summon her playmate from far
away with a well practiced sally"
the first syllable, high pitched and pro-
longed. giving place to the second syl-
liable uttered abruptly in n yet higher
note. And this mode of calling is uni
versal.-Nineteenth Century.

ORIGIN of Our secret service.

The United States secret service had
its origin in the early sixties under the
auspices of the war department. 1t ac-
tually grew out of the fact of Captain
Lafayette Il. Baker of the Union army
offering his services to Secretary Sew
ard as a police scout to gather informa-
ton concerning the Confederate army.
During the war the United States be-
gan the issuance of greenbacks. Then
came the first appearance of "green
goods" men. By an act of congress in
1861 or 1862 $4,000 was appropriated
for the maintenance OF Bakers service
to suppress counterfeiting. The super
vision of the service was then under
the solicitor of the treasury. = New

CATTLE-There was not a heavy run of
cattle here today, so that the market was
fairly active and prices steady to strong on
all desirable grades of killers. Buyers were
out early, and Il was not long before the
bulk of the offerings had been disposed OF.
There were quite a few beef steers IN
cluded in the receipts this morning, but the
better grades sold freely at steady. to
strong prices as compared with yesterday.
The grades were not in quite as
good demand, but still they sold without
much trouble at about the same prices as
were paid yesterday.
The COW market took on considerable life
this morning, and anything at all good sold
at steady to strong prices. Buyers all
seemed to be anxious for the choicer
grades. and as offerings were limited there
was considerable competition, The medium
grades and Gamers did not show much
sellers did not find 1t a dificult matter to
sell out at fully steady prices.
There was not enough change In the
prices paid today for bulls, veal calves and
stays to be worthy of mention. Anything
good sold freely, while common kinds were
neglected. -.
good weight n quality sold readily at
firm prices. There was no Improvement,
however. in the demand for the. common
and lightweight stockers, and prices were
uneven, the same as they have been. all
along. Sellers are obliged to take what
ever they can get, as 1t Is hard to even get
a bid on common stockers. The demand
from the country is almost entirely for
the good to choice heavyweight cattle, and
about buying the common grades. Repre-

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The stock market
bowed considerable increase of animation
today and the dealings were much better

Southern Pacific was largely In the hands
OF the same speculative interest which has
been dealing in II recently, and the move
ment in Penngylvania was also attributed
to this operator. The Nanderbilts as a
group were all strong and the Toledo. st.
Louis q Western stocks moved In sym
pathy with the group on rumored absorp-
ton In the Vanderbilt interest. The gains
In these stocks reached up to 6 points. Lake
Erie g. Western preferred showed the lat
ter figure. United States Express made a
further advance of az. The rise of IA in
Third Avenue was due to comparison with
Its price with hat of Metropolitan, with
an. ultimate guarantee of z per cent. iii.
nois Central also was strong on the general
consideration of its price level, as COM
lSred with other equal dividend payers.
There were a number of lower-priced and
less prominent stocks whose special
strength was attributed to increasing divi-
lend prospects. Proft-taking made the
closing somewhat Irregular, but the inroads
on prices were not extensive.
The bond market was active and broad
and showed general advances. Total sales,
