TESTS OF THE HUMAN VOICE.
Experiment Proves That 1t Is Not Al
ways ms Recognizable AS Is
Commonly Believed.

Many persons imagine that the hui
man voice is as easily recognizable as
the human countenance; they think
that they could never be mistaken in
the voices of their friends; but in the
branch telephone exchange of big
business house the other day an expert
ment proved that this was not alto
gether true, says the Philadelphia
Record. One of the employees of the
house took his place at the exchange,
and, as various persons called for yari-
Gus members, he guessed who was
speaking. Out Of ten guesses, siXwere
wrong. He erred in the case of his
own brothers voice, installing it for
that of the proprietor. He was sure
that he had detected fellow clerk on
account Of the pronunciation Of cof-
fee-"cawfee"-that he believed to be
peculiar to this person, but the event
proved that there were others in the
building who also pronounced coffee in
that odd way. The girl atthe exchange
said that she never attempted to tell
people by their voices, especially over
the phone. when you make a mis-
take it is so embarrassing" she muir
INJURED. "A roguish voice says: DO
you know who it is?' You answer:
Yes, it's Harry Whereupon the dis
appointed reply comes; NO, it's jack
That makes you feel small"

THE RED MANS AUTOMOBILE
Big, Fat Indians Pushed AROUND In
Baby Carriages by Their Long,
Suffering squnws.

This is the season of the year
when the Indian chiefs come in from
the reservations to see the Great
Father. saws the New York Worlds
Washington correspondent. Ihere
are a score Of them in the city now.
A group of half dozen standing on
the curb watching an automobile re-
called to some Texans who were pass
ing the story Col. Bill Sterrett USED
To tell about the man who went into
the Indian Territory to sell baby
carriages.
Everybody said he was crazy. IL
was admitted that there was fine
crop Of babies in the territory, but
no one could see what the squaws,
who were used to packing their OFF,
Strings on their backs, could do with
baby carriages.
Still, orders began to come back,
first for dozens, and then for car
loads, and finally Sterrett went up
to investigate. He went into one OF
the Indian villages.
"And III be dashed" said Col Bill
of | didn't see a dozen big, fat In
dams sitting in baby carriages, all
scrouged up, while the squaws were
pushing them around. The baby car
riape man had made the Indians be-
lieve that baby carriages were the
right kind of pleasure rigs Tor the
noble red man"

ports Leslie's Monthly. The vessel lay
to, and preparations were made Tor
one Of the frequent soundings. AT
length, the silence was broken by a
brief order and the tinkling of bell
Slowly the machinery Of the engine
began to work and slowly the tough
wire rope began to sink beneath the
water. Foot by foot, fathom by
fathom, it slid from the ship. One
thousand, two thousand, three and
then four thousand fathoms disap,
pcared. The record was passed. Five
miles Of rope!
1t was an anxious moment, for the
strain caused by the immense length
and weight of the wire rope on the
machinery was tremendous. But
everything held firm; and at length
when the mark recorded 4, 813 fathoms
or 29,S7S feet, practically the height
Of Mount Everest, bottom was touched
1t was an added triumph for American
geographical science.

SET IN HIS WAYS.
Negro Farmer who Had His Own
Ideas About Crops and
Stuck to Them.

Gas an illustration of the need Of
new ideas in farming, and Of the eff
feet which the ong-continucd cultiva-
ton Of single crop has upon one"
says Booker Il. Washington, in Every
body's Magazine, 81 remember that
some years ago l called an old negro
farmer into my office and explained to
him in detail how he could make $50
an acre on his land, if he would plant a
portion of it in sweet potatoes; where
as, if he planted cotton, as he had
been doing for years, at best he could
make only $15 per acre. AS | explained
the difference step by step, he agreed
with me at every point, and when |
came near to the end Of my argument
/ began 10 congratulate myself that |
had converted at least one man from
the one-crop system TO better methods.
Finally, with what fear was the air of
one who felt that he had won his case,
i asked the farmer what he was going
to cultivate on his land the coming
year. The old fellow scratched his
head and said that as he was getting
old, and had been growing cotton all
his life, he reckoned he would grow it
to the end Of his few remaining years,
although he agreed with me that he
could double the product Of his land
by planting sweet potatoes on it"

OPENING "BUCKING" SAFES.
Professionals who Right Matters
when the Strong Boxes Get
Out of Order.

The broncho buster Of the western
plains has n counterpart in New
York, though his business is not to
tame recalcitrant mustangs, but to
open "bucking" safes, says New
York exchange. Every big concern
dealing in strong boxes employs a
professional safe breaker against
those frequent and often costly oc-
casions when the safe sold to some
consumer gets out of whack." The
work of opening n bucking safe is
usually matter of minutes with the
professional but occasionally he is
obliged to send for half ton of tools
before he Is enabled to procure the
magic sesame. Often half hundred
clerks are kept idle for hours and
business managers spin around like
tops while the safe breaker leisurely
pothers about with the combination.
When the safe or vault is finally
opened it is usually discovered that
some one connected with the firm is
TO blame for altering the combina-
ton and then keeping the matter to
himself. The professional safe opener
frequently has calls from out OF
town, and on these occasions he usual
~ finds that some merchant who
has just bought his safe changed the
combination and then forgot it,
