were Enthusiastically heard. Perhaps, the
sounds were drawn up in some ascend
ing current of air, to be blown back
to the earth at a great distance. But
this explanation is less satisfactory
from the fact that sound travels best
across the wind. This is almost unbe-
levable, bat it was demonstrated by
the experiments of Bacon and Maske-
lyme a few years ago from a balloon
drifting over London. The observers
exploded charges of dynamite at stat
ed intervals and received reports from
people all over the great city and the
surrounding country. The returns
showed that the sound travelled much
farther in directions at right angles
with the balloons course.
One of the most remarkab BILE state
ments made by Maj. Birkhimer was
that of his belief that a second salvo
of these guns fired Immediately after
the first would have produced more
than twice the effect of the first 1T
is the generally accepted opinion" he
said, that the first charge prepares
conditions, so to speak. And a second,
following closely after it, would de-
velop the latest effects Of the first"
PROFESSIONALLY it would be a danger
Gus experiment to put Maj. Birkhimer's
theory to the test, but it would be one
which would arouse the interest Of the
whole scientific world.

Railroads to Spend Much Money This
Year.
Conditions Have Greatly Changed in
the Past Few Years.

The immense amounts Of money
which 1t is estimated will be experd-
ed by the IA lroads in the near future
in the way of improvements serve TO
emphasize the necessity which is now
aooarens in railway operations, OF
adopting the policy Of permanent out
lev wherever epd whenever cont'pu-
oos operating expenses cen be reduced.
Tbs pan OF cspiSslizing expenses
wherever poss BILE is finding very gem
eral app oval, the oIly question being
how far II may be extended with pro-
TT, says the Railway Review. When
money was worth Z aud s per cent, as
was the case when many Of the rail
roads wee built, il was excdsable, II
not jrstifable, to keep the CAPITAL
outlay within the narrowast boupds,
bet with tine decline in the value Of
money to 8 and per cent, the situa-
tion is reversed.
A few years ago railroad when
uilt WAS little more at the first than
. foundation for further expenditures
ard it was because of this fact that the
impression gained currency that the
cost OF railroad construction was only
about 81, 900 per mile. Nowadays the
reverse is trde, and railroads are pro-
jected upon moe complete and oorse-
Quently more expensive lines, 80 that
SEQ, 900 per mile is not an unusual
odt'sy. The economy Of the latter
method is not bard to find. IL is inev-
table that the larger amoont must be
invested, aud the profit o, Immediate
e-oerditure. as compared with an ex.
tended distribution, IS found in the
difference between the interest charg-
es on the required amount and the ex
ira cost Of operation imposed because
of the incomplete condition.
Under such circumstances IL is not
strange that in periods Of abundant
money ra lroads should seek to take
the utmost advantr &c Of the situat on,
and the reported s2co, 900, 900 which
is likely to be spent in the interests Of
economy is not excessive.

spert every year for labor, much Of
which consists in scrsping off tie mud
that is an inevitable consequence of
the gravel we use. 1t may also be Of
interest to know tat repetition Of
the above extravaganza is evidently
contemplated this year, as the street
appropriation is s29, 900, with no claim
that there will be any difference in
the class OF street improvements.

INCONSISTENCIES NEEDED.


The characteristic ideas that appear
to pervade the mind Of the average
Democratic statesman" in Psducah
were voiced last evening at meeting
of the council by one of the members,
who opposed permanent street i'm
provements because they would cost
something. 1t is the same spirit that
has kept Paducah 90 years or more be-
hind the times in the matter of pub
lie improvements. Some of the Dem
ocrstic Legislators seem TO think that
If street is built, il is only for the
use and benefit Of those who Rave to
pay for it, and if the latter don't
want il, they ought not be made to
have it, II il is a sever re system,
that it is intended to benefit OILY
what few use it, Likewise, that no
matter what improvement it is, the
general public does not have as much
interest in it as those on whom the
cost falls.
This is very erroneous. Council
man Reed last night expressed the SEN
timents o. a progressive man. He
said IN regard to some o. the property
owners refusing to give their consent
to proposed street improvements, thft
be DIDN'T care whether they did or
not. He WIS there to represent the
people as a whole, aud no particular
par of them. Thet IN regard to the
pro osed improved streets he thought
the cltg reeded them and ought to
have them, regal dless Of what few
interested property owners said. This
STRIKES Us ss being exactly right. A
street is for the benefit of the general
public, whose welfare is far above
that OF few property owners The
latter may have to pay some or most
OF the expenses, but il they do 1t is
because it is the way designated by
Jew, aud if people before them hadn Z
done the same thing the city would
have had no streets or pavements.
Public bodies are to leg'slate for the
public, not for small part of it. We
want Improvements, and we need them
Public men who can't see beyond a
few interested property owners who
would never sanction any improve
ment as long as they have to pay for
it, should resign from office. There
is no place for them in public life IN
this progressive age.

Lovers Of the Day Seek TO Have Their
Pictures on sweethearts' Shoes.
Il is said that the fashionable girl
Of the present day carries the picture
of the young man she most loves in
her shoe and the secret Of her heart
may therefore be learned by looking
at her feet. There is nothing occult
about II. Hypnotlsm. mental tsiepa-
thy and things Of that sort are not
concerned. II the girl is up to date
all you have TO do is to look at her
feet, for there you viii see the pic
ture OF the happy man.
She wears II In the buckle OF her
slipper. so that the best time 10 learn
the truth is when she Ia at a dance.
At a function OF the kind In Wissahic-
kon recently a half dozen Of the girls
had their sweethearts at their feet,
which. according to amatory tradition,
is right and proper.
When the miniature fad originated
the modish girls were pleased 10
wear the counterfeit presentments Of
their courtlers at their necks. Then
they moved to the belt buckle, but II
Is the prerogative OF a woman TO
