CUNICsnIeS " SOUND.
Every N"ise Has Its Corresponding
Note ON the Musical scale.

Every Noise Has Its Corresponding
Note on the Musical scale.
In very high or mountainous regions
sounds become diminished I'm loudncss
SO that conversation cannot Ice car
ried on in IN ordinary tone OF voice.
In mines or I'm diving bell the re-
verse OF this is the ease. Speech be-
comes SO startling that il must be car
ried OH in whispers 10 be at all en-
durable 10 the ear. Sounds of all
kinds become musical If the vibrations
OF air are uniform and rapid enough.
Ii is said that the puts of an engine
would make tremendous organ peal
OF music II they could be made 10 at
tain the rapidity Of nifty or sixty sec
ond. Everything in nature has its key
note, as il were. and attuned to one
particular musical sound. This fact
can be very easily verified in everyday
life. Stand near an open piano and
speak in an ordinary tone. While
speaking you will suddenly hear a
string within reverberate TO your voice.
The tick of a watch. the sound of ev-
cry human voice. the bark of a dog,
the new OF n cat. the noise Of a wagon.
the roll OF thunder. the fall OF rain.
the running OF water-in fact, every
thing about us can easily be placed by
an attentive ear on its proper musical
note, one OF the sounds of the scale.
This is a most interesting experiment
and easily verified.
1t is said that the ear can distin-
guish eleven Octaves OF sound; but, as
a rule. those made by quick, short vi
bratiOns are more easily conveyed.
For instance, the whir of n locust
makes n more distinct impression than
the signing of the wind through the
trees. \ whirlwind in it's approach is
noiseless 1t is only when it strikes
some obstacle that the volume of sound
becomes terrific to us. Then we re-
ceive the secondary shorter waves from
the destruction of this obstacle. Tyn-
dali says all friction is rhythmic.
Flames are VIGOROUSLY sensitive to
sound. They will bend and flicker and
even respond with a leap Of quivering
light to high, shrill sound. This is
another interesting experiment. If we
use glass tube with n small Jet OF
gas. by lowering or raising it TO GER
tain points we can cause it to shrek
ous shrilly or to answer sympathetical-
ly to its own keynote when sung or
spoken by the voice.
If we could only hear the roll OF the
vast oceans in harmony all around us
In our everyday life. we could say
with truth. indeed, what the poet only
imagined:
There's not the smallest orb which
thou beholdest but in its orbit like an
angel sings. still quiring TO the young
eyed cherubim." -Baltimore American.

Reflections OF a Bachelor.

1t does seem mighty mean for a
girl with rosy lips to stay in a room
full of people.
Mighty few men can get as much
fun out of giving 800 to charity
as losing it ut the races.
\ man can protect himself from
his enemies, but it is not SO easy
to guard against ones friends.
Some men are so stubborn it
takes their wives long time to
make up their minds for them.
Once in a while woman makes
love to a man Just to show him
what he doSen't know, and then he
knows it.
There Is an age when every girl
wants to go on the stage, Just as
there is when every boy wants to
be pirate.
The devil knew that if he could
only get women started to wearing
fine clothes he would never have TO
work any more.

and did not spend all the money
she started with, but it was because

UKWISE SALOON MEN.

The liquor dealers of the cities
and towns are badly advised.
They continue to oppose the
increase of their licenses. The
truth is that high licenses is the
best protection against prohibition.
If the time Is not here already it
surely will come when the question
viii be in Virginia whether the
saloons shall pay we'll for the sane
ton and protection of the law or
shall be closed and their business
turned over To the blind tigers and
bootleg men. This will not help
the cause of temperance but will
injure the saloon keepers. Unfor-
tunately, some of our people seem
to think that the injury of the men
lawfully engaged in the business is
the chief purpose to be sought.
This liquor question must be set
tied sooner or later 10y abandon
ment of the extreme position on
both sides and by the adoption of
common sense system. The liquor
dealers must make up their minds
that they can not control the poll
ties of the State or the cities. that
they owe a certain Difference to

liar character of their business sub

keeping in business all the saloons
we now have in the cities. We

THE YOUNG DEMOCRACY.

At the JefferSonian banquet in
Dcs Moines last Thursday night.
Hon. Adlia f. Stevenson. former
Nicc-Prcsident, paid a glowing
tribute to William Randolph
Hearst, of New York.
In the CoURTER'S opinion Mr..
Stevenson more intelligently and
forcefully represents the true
Democracy than Bryan. Hill.
Cleveland, Olney and Parker ever
have or ever will.
We believe that the next cam
paign viii be upon the trust ques-
ton, and we believe that William
Randolph Hearst Is the young man
best fitted and qualified to carry
the banner 10 victory.
Mr.. Stevenson has labored for a
lifetime under the banner of
Democracy, and his words should
be needed throughout the party.
He said:
The appeal Will be to the young
men of our county. upon whom
will soon rest the burdens and re-
sponsibilities of government.

sence tonight of one who would
have been an honored guest at this
board. William X. Hearst. splen-
did representative of the young
DemOcracy-One who would be a
welcome guest in any Democratic
asSemblage. Only those who bore
the brunt of the last Presidential
contest know TO the fullest his un-
firing devotion to our cause and of
his splendid service from the
beginning to the close of that
memorable struggle. As repre-
sentative in Congress from the
great metropolis and the greatest
journalist of the age, his field of
usefulness is enlarged, and the
past Is but the earnest of what he
will yet accomplish for his party
and his country.
We are almost upon the thresh-
old of another Presidential contest.
The main issues of the struggle
even now can be clearly defined.
The party in power will stand, as
in the past. for a high protective
tariff; will oppose all attempts tc
tighten the burdens of enormous
tariff taxation; will stand for tho
legislation inspired by greed
which has brought colossal for.
tunes To it, benefciaries by in.
