SPAIN AND FRANCE.
French Anlbassador causes Strongly
Favorable Feeling.


Madrid, Jan. 23.-Premier Silvela says
the expression Of the French ambassa-
dor, NJ. Cambon, yesterday concerning
the strong ties between France and
Spain has produced strongly favora BILE
impression in government circles. The
official reception of the French ambas-
sador Saturday promises to be an event
of an unusual character, as the heads
of the army and navy and of the other
branches of the government are prepar-
ing to attend as means of expressing
their thanks for his services in restor-
ing peace between Spain and the United
States. The entire ministry and all the
members of the diplomatic corps are
expected to attend.
During the course of King Alfonsos
response when NJ. Cambon presented his
credentials yesterday the sovereign de-
parted from the usual formalities Of
such occasions and made a feeling ref
erence to the ambassadors services
during the Spanish American war The
king said:
'"This is not the first time, Mr.. AM
basSador, that you have shown by your
conduct the affection you bear for
Spain. Under circumstances most crit
ical, when you were as to-day, the rep
resentatiVe of France, you rendered us
a service emitting you to our considera-
tion and our love"
The military escort which accompan-
led the ambassador to the king and to
the president of the council was one of
unusual briiliancy and was further indi-
cative Of Spanish sentiment towards the
ambassador as the result of his efforts
to bring about the conclusion of the war
between Spain and the United States.

John V. Dillon, of New Haven, were
twice in conference with Colonel Bur-
pee, counsel for the trolley company,
to-day with the purpose Of effecting
settlement. Nothing was divulged as
result of conference.
No violence characterized the running
Of the cars to-day. The strikers con-
tinue to send out their official state
ments each day in which they reply to
different statements appearing in the
press in the forms of interviews and
otherwise, and repeatedly stating their
position, asking arbitration. The busi-
ness mems committee has give up try
ing to effect arbitration.
President A. NJ Young, who has been
in this city for a few hours, returned to
New York this morning. He took no
action in regard to conditions here. The
trolley company will not arbitrate as
long as the employees insist upon taking
back William Barrett, president Of the
union, and John Kelly, both discharged
men. 1t is believed that the strikers
will eliminate these men from their de-
mands, and that arbitration will result.

THE MEANING OF MUSIC.
Tones Have Their Specific Express
siOns just as Much as
Spoken Words.

Music is a science more exact than
most people suppose" said a violinist,
reports the Philadelphia Ledger. You
can't, for instance, say different things
with the same tones in music any more
than you can say different things with
the same words in English or French.
Black mean black in English; never
under any circumstances can it near
white In the same way, in music, a
major third expresses an interrogation
or an appeal, never anything else, and
this appealing quality becomes exceed
ingly marked in the fourth descending,
while the fourth ascending advances
from interrogation to affirmation and
finally to command. Major and minor
fifths travel by regular g~radations from
prayer to desire, and from desire to
menace. SiXths express passion-all
love music is written in siXths. To a
semi-tone higher, and this love, this
passion, becomes a painful, an en-
nous, an ill-starred one. Seventies ex-
press grief, tragedy. Perhaps you think
| am eXaggerating here, but | assure
you | am not. What | claim you will
find claimed in many treatises on mu-
sic, and if you will study the works of
the composers, you will find that they,
too, bear me out"

DEAF-MUTES NEVER GIDDY.
Vertigo Seems to BE One of the Ills
to Which They Are Never
Subject.

1t is a singular fact, vouched for by
those who have investigated the subject,
that a deaf can whirl around inter
minably without seeming to suffer in
any way from vertigo. Il have seen
them do it repeatedly" said a
physician long connected with a deaf
and dumb institute, 'and their perform
ances bear out a theory Of DR..
William James, the Harvard psycholo-
gist-the brother, you know, Of Henry
James, the novelist. There is a certain
tube, connecting with the ear, that is
the seat, according to William James,
of u sense of dizziness and vertigo.
In deaf-mutes this tube is %deranged.
Therefore, according to James theory,
deaf-mutes should be incapable of suf-
fering vertigo.
"The psychologist experimental on this
matter at Harvard: he had hundreds of
deaf and normal persons spinning round
like these children for him. And the
result of the experiment bore him out.
Out of a large number of mutes most
were proof against vertigo, and the bal
ance only suffered it slightly. Of 300
Harvard students submitted to the same
test, but one showed vertigo in a very
marked form. Thus James proved that
the deaf are immune to dizziness. The
boys at the Mount Airy institution prove
the same thing"

BREECH-LOADERS ARE OLD.
Bronze Cannon of That Make We're
in Use in Spain Some
Centuries Ago.

That there is very little new under
the sun has once more been proved at
Tobermory bay, Null. says a London
paper, where Capt. Burns, of Glasgow,
has, with the permission of the duke of
Argyll, been searching for the relics of
the Admiral of Florence, one of the YES
sells of the Spanish Armada, known to,
have been blown up in 1888 in that far
away water. With the aid of an old
chart the diver went down into II faith
oms and came across a bronze breech-
loading cannon four and one-half feet
long, eight inches in diameter at the
breech and bearing the date 1868. The
divers also discovered a pistol heavily
~incrusted with lime, a sword blade and
a kedge anchor.
Breech loading in artillery and small
arms is popularity supposed to be an in
vention of the middle of last century,
but such is by no means the case. In a
Dublin g~unsmith's shop at Cork Hill is
a breech-loading rifle, which was of
fered to the British var office at the
close of the eighteenth century and re-
jected, as it was considered to need too
much ammunition.

HEROIC SEIF-SACRIFICE.
Conspicuous Instance That Came Tn
der the Observation of IA
Navy Officer.

speaking of heroism, said a navy Of
ficer at his club a few evenings ago, re-
ports the New York Tribune. 1T is rare
that such an example is seen as that
Of an old associate at the naval acad-
envy, Hynson, who was a passed mid
shipman at Vera Cruz, in 1916. 1t was
really more than a bit of heroism; it was
fortitude, passive courage, that con-
fronted a peculiar danger, a self-sacri-
fee that was most conspicuous.
Our fleet was off the harbor on block
ade duty when one day a Spanish mer-
chant vessel managed to slip in without
being discovered. Hynson conceived the
idea Of capturing the vessel by a night at
tack, and he succeeded in doing so. But
as he could not take the vessel out of the
harbOr, for the reason that she was I'M
der the close range of the enemy's guns
and forts, HysOn set fire to the vessel.
In doing so he burned both his arms so
badly that he carried them in sings for
several days. While in this disabled
condition a terrific squat came up and
played havoc with several of our little
vessels, and the one on which Hynson
was serving was capsized. HynsOn and
n of the other officers managed to get
hold on a floating spar, but as it was not
sufficient to keep them both afioat, Hyn-
son let go his hold, and in a few moments
z2nk to his death"

Development of the great natural re-
sources of thetropical belt of the earth is,
in the opinion of Hon. o. P. Austin. chief
of the bureau of statistics, a NECESSITY for
the future progress of the world.
Although this belt contains practically
one-half of the land area of the globe.
it now contributes but one-sixth of the
exports which enter into international
commerce. With the growing popula-
ton of the world, and the increase of IA
%cilities for transportation, a change
should be wrought in this respect. Sci
ence has shown how life and health can
be protected in the tropics. and India,
southern China, and other oriental coun-
tries contain populations capable of la
boring, and willing to labor, in the trop-
les. Finally. Mr.. Austin points out that
in comparatively recent years practi-
cally all the tropics, eXcepttropical Amer
lea, have been brought under the con-
troll of temperate-zone countries.

VIRGINIA HOSPITALITY.
1t Is Manifested in a Singular Way
war NOn-Resident
SpOFtsmen.

The proverbial Virginia hospitality is
again in evidence. That state has a new
game law this year, Of which n feature
is a nonresident license exaction. AS at
first adopted, all non-residents other
than nonresident children of resident
landowners, were required to take out
a license, but the spirit of hospitality
which is linked with the name of Virginia
recoiled from this. From a time be-
yond which the mind of man runneth not
10 the contrary, II has been a fashion
with V~irginians to invite their friends
from other states to visit them for shoot
ing, n 1t was perceived that the new
law would put an end to this pleasant
custom. A modification was thereupon
demanded and granted, says Forest and
Stream. AS it now stands, the non
resident law expressly exempts the Wis
itor, the text reading that the non-resi-
dent guest of a resident landowner shall
be allowed to hunt on the lands of his
host, as though he were a resident of
the state, when accompanied by the host
or a member of his family, and pro-
vided that the host receives no compen-
sation from the guest. This is excellent
in so far as Virginia hospitality is con-
cerned; but we fail to appreciate the
logic which finds it reasonable to tax
enc sportsman who is obliged to pay
board in Virginia, while exempting him
who is so fortunate as to have friends
there who may entertain him.

Noney acting as agents for the various

"card to the intending purchaser, to be
presented to the maker.
To help his titled agent, the manufac-
turer places a car, sometimes two, at her
disposal, usually at her country house,
sends down competent chauffeurs in
smart uniforms, and keeps the cars in
thorough going order, knowing well that
a good run is more likely to influence
a prospective purchaser than most
things.
h manages to get some wealthy
friends for a visit, and then talks mo-
tor from morning to night, and gives
them rides until they are fiji subjects for
buying.
Some of the smart women makea ddf-
tional profits by selling the cars placed
at their disposal on the spot for $500more
than the price, and then paying for the
machines so sold, at their leisure, at the
regular price, less the commission.
