SINGULAR EFFECT OF MUSIC ON
MASSACHUSETTS COWS.


At the recent concert of the Hospital
Music fund, given in Cambridge city
hospital, one of the musicians did a
thing which recalls the ancient story of
Orpheus and his enchanting Tyre.
At the farther end of field opposite
the institution two cows were quietly
grazing with their backs toward the
street. The first violinist asserted that
he could speak with those cows by
means of his violin at distance. Be-
ing doubted, he played one chord on the
two lower strings of his instrument.
The animals Immediately quit feeding,
raised their heads, turned in the direc-
ton of the sound and looked interested.
The violinist drew his bow on the
strings a second time and the animals
came directly across the field and put
their head over the rail of the fence,
with ears thrown forward, nostrils di-
lated and eyes inquiring. The third
time the cord was played the animals
simultaneously answered with a sharp,
short, lowing and uneasy stamping Of
fore feet.
A word in COW language was plainly
said by the violin and was answered by
the cows. The incident was seen by
DR.. Dixwell and six or seven others in
terested in the hospital music charity
Some of the more incredulous members
of the party thought that perhaps the
animals which answered the sound
were looking for another COW, hidden
from view. But there was no near
hiding place and the sunlight was
clear-Boston Transcript.

PUBLICITY AND THE TRUSTS.
7 is generally acknowledged that
publicity is an essential agency for the
control of trusts. But what is public
ity? What is the state of the public
mind which publicity is designed to
create? What interests is it designed
to serve? And what are the admins
trative means through which public
ity may be be successfully realized?
These questions Henry c.. Adams, pro-
fessor of political economy in the
university Of Michigan, endeavors to
answer in an article in the December
number Of the North American Review,
which is a model Of clear, comprehen-
sive, succinct discussion of an econo-
mical subject, Prof Adams claims that
publicity has ample legal justifica ton:
1T would be a mistake, however, to
read from this fact the conclusion that
English Jurisprudence has ever given
sanction to the doctrine that the rights
of private property are superior to the
necessities of public welfare. The
courts upheld the claim of secrecy in
business affairs because they assumed
the efficacy of competition; and it must
be admitted that, while industries were
small, markets local, and the relations
between producer and consumer con-
tinued to be personal relations, this as
sumption of the courts was reasonable.
Wherever healthful competition holds
sway, there is no ground for suspecting
tyrannOus use of commercial power
and, consequently no demand for
publicity. But industrial conditions
have changed. Industries are becoming
colossal. The local market is thing
Of the past. The relation between pro-
Queer and consumer, which for genera
tons exercised q powerful moral re-
straint upon business conduct, no
longer exists. The automatic restraints
being weakened, artificial restraints
have, in consequence, become ne
cessity. Neither the assumption of

TO possess inherent vitality; they are

against a competitor is. doubtless. a

vate property; secrecy against the state

BIG VINE OF SANTA BARBARA.
Wherever the fame of Santa Bar
bara has spread. that of her big grape
vine has likewise extended. The vines
are of the Mission variety, brought from
Spain by the Mission fathers. There
was many a pang of regret when. in
the centennial year, it was known that
the old landmark in the Montecito val
ley was to be cut down and q portion
Of it removed 10 the exposition at
Philadelphia; but it was whispered
that relentless Time, who is no re-
| specter of graDevines, was beginning
to impair its vitality. and that the
inevitable was only fastened little by
the intervention of man.
| No record was kept OF the time of
planting, but from events connected
with the family upon whose ground it
grew, it was believed to be rs or 100
years old. The measurement of it's
trunk is given as s feet 10 inches in
circumference. and the arbor was
about IS feet square. It's death was be-
/ licved to be premature, the result of
changing the course of a small stream
that had flowed near its roots.
But another vine nearby. cutting
| from the original. had attained to near
ly this size. so that Santa Barbara
could still boast of having the biggest
grapevine in the world" In 1889 this
vine succumbed to a disease of he
roots, perhaps invited by age and its
body now rests in the Santa Barbara
chamber of commerce. Its irregular

In the Carpinteria valley. few miles
| further from the city third vine has
/ been surpassed both of the others in
| size. 1t was planted in 1912 by Joaquin
| Lugo de Ayala, and has therefore just
completed its three-sc0re years. The
first election in Santa Barbara county
under American rule was held beneath
its ample shade. This latest candidate
for the world record is double from the
/ surface of the ground up; the two parts
are knit together in a David -and-Jona-
/ than-like embrace to hight Of about
five feet seven inches, where they
separate into huge branches. the
largest having a circumference of three
feet, Six inches above the ground the
| vine measures feet 81 inches in
circumference, and it covers an area Of
115 feet square (the whole back yard,)
60 posts supporting the framework
The owner says that, were provision
made, it would spread over a greater
surface, but it is pruned every year.
Fabulous tales are told of the grapes
this vine produces. That it did actual
! ly yield ten tons in IA recent season
seems to be authentic.
An effort was made to secure a part
of the original Montecito vine-taken to
Ohio after the contamination the San
ia Barbara exhibition at the worlds
fair, but terms could not be made with
! the owner. At the time of the sue
| ceeding midwinter fair at San Fran
cisco an offer of $1,000 for the Carpn-
terra vine was refused, else it's lease Of
life would have been cut short-M. c.

LONDON's SMOKY FOGS Elk
planned.


1t is generally acknowledged that
chiefly due to those huge manufacture
ing chimneys which from a distance
give London the appearance of some
monstrOus flock filled with Titanic
steamers. But it has been shown
that the ordinary domiciles of London
get rid of something like 1900 tons Of
solid refuse every day by throwing it up
the chimney" The first consequence of
this, it has been pointed out, is the loss
of sunshine, and even in summer Lon
don loses One-sixth of its proper amount
of sunshine, while in winter it's natural
supply is reduced by one-half. The
amount of smoke-laden air in London
is set down by the clerk of the weather
at 100000 tons a day. At Kew Sir
Thiselton Dyer has found that after a
fog a deposit is left behind equal to six
tons Of tarry matter over square mile.
These figures may bring home to some
peoples minds the result of our present
system of combustion, but, as the writer
in the Morning Post points out 1t will
need a return to the dreadful winters Of
the sos to make the mass of the public
realize the full Importance of this sub
ject. In the meantime we trust that
the authorities are inquiring into the
process adopted by an electric lighting
company in the lake district. to which
we referred few weeks ago, by which,
it is claimed, the smoke nuisance is
completely got rid Of. Nothing should
be left undone by those in authority to
remedy the present conditions.-Lon-
don Globe.
