THE IMmoBILE EAR

IN THE POPULAR SCIENCE Month
L " for. July, Dr. Walter Smith does
considerable worrying over the question
as to why the human race has lost the
power of moving its ears There was
time, no doubt, when men and women
could move their ears. If this were not
So. why did Marc Antony request his
friends. Romans and countrymen, to
lend him their ears?
The disadvantage Of the immobile
ear is apparent to DR.. Smith He says
that through il we hear simultaneous
sounds but the predominant chsrac-
terisGc Of our perception Of sounds is
that their variety IS given IN a success
sion" a l.ttle further along the doctor
says that if the ear had remained mo
bile. it would have been the organ Of
a space-sense, FOR it would have given
a number Of sounds as practically CO.
existing and as co-existing in definite
relations to each other; the mobility
being lost, hearing has become time
sense.
That's the point exactly. Hearing
has become a time-sense. That is,
there are times when we can hear and
times when we cannot hear. Thus.
normal man Of . hears very wen, in
deed. In time. though, if he lives long
enough. he does not hear. And by the
time he is 80 or 100 he cannot hear it
thunder However. this has very little
TO Go with the mobility or the immo-
biiity OF the ear.
DIT. Smith consoles himself for it. and
the rest Of US may likewise console cur
selves with the thought that the loss
of the ears mobility has resulted in the
fuller appreciation Of the succession Of
sounds and thus has been in an impor-
tant sense a condition Of the social, in
teIIectual and esthetic development
which has dome with the use of Ian

chiefly because in that year 3fr. Clews
began his wan street career. Every
school history, If it Is really a history,
contains the~story and It would have
been an exhibition OF false pride II
AR. cIews had RETAINED from ailuding
to it.
But, seriously. the interesting feature
Of -Twenty-efght Years in Wall
Street" is. not Mr.. Clews' insunerable
egotism. Rather is it his peculiar code
of ethics. He does not say so in so
many words. bue he leaves US to infer.
that his idea Of a rascal is a man who
refuses to stay bought" He speaks
Of purchases Of councils and legisla-
lures made BY Commodore Vanderbilt
and Others, but has no word of con-
demnation for such methods. On the
contrary. he seems to consider them
perfectly legitimate.
In April, 1853. the commodore bought
enough votes in the New York council
70 secure the passage Of an ordinance
autROEizing him TO build a street rail-
way down Broadway to the Battery.
But. says Mr.. Clews. The common
council were not immaculate in those
days. They baseIy deceived
the commodore after taking his
money; but he punished them severely"
That is, the council passed the erdin-
anee, then sold the commodore's stock
short" and repealed the measure.
The expected crash failed to material
lie because Vanderbilt had all the
stock and the councilmen had to settle
at much higher figures than those they
had agreed TO deliver the stock for.
The impression left with the careful
reader Of Mr.. Clews' book il that the
main thing is to get the money and
that Wall street is as necessary TO the
universe as the solar system; that the
really great men are the successful
spectators and that Henry Clews is
the greatest of them all.

H THIRD DAY.
Session.

St. Louis, July 9.-The Democratic
national convention spent the morning
waiting for the report of the commit
tee on resolutions. A committee was
appointed by Chairman Champ Clark
to call on the resolutions committee
and learn when the platform would
be submitted to the convention. Just
before the noon hour the conventions
emissaries announced that the resolu-
tons committee would require until
eight o'clock to prepare its veport, but
that the action Of the committee would
be unanimous, and a platform submit
ted which, he declared, would bring the
party u glorious Victory"
The convention then took q recess
until eight o'clock. Chairman Clark
had tee convention in aand from the
moment proceedings opened. He an
rounced, through a st~rong-voiced as
s~istant, that the first person raising a
row would be thrown out by the po-
lice" After the committee had been
dispatched to learn the pleasure of the
resolutions committee, the band gave
a concert OF popular and patriotic Sc
lections. Bourke Cochran was called
for to address the convention, but he
was moi present. Former Senator
Charles A. Towne was next invited to
take the platform but declined. Capt
Richmond Pearson Hobson was the
next choice.
Mr.. Hobson accepted the invitation,
and, in a few moments, made his way
from the Alabama delegation to the
platform. He was greeted with a round
OF applause and the usual cries Of
"La1der." When he had uttered cut .

test were surrounded by friends and
heartily congratulated. Among these
we're David B. Hill, of New York, who
has been in actual charge OF Judge
Parker's campaign. He laughed and
cried alter nately.
In a section of the hall sat Mrs. Hall,
daughter of Judge Parker. With a par
ty of friends she remained throughout
the night. She showed her happiness
with tears. 81 -
Mr.. Bryan left the convention hall q
few minutes before The nomination
"a made unanimous. but not before
he knew that Judge Parker was nomi-
mated. To several correspondents who
were waiting for him at his hotel he
said that he had nothing to add to
what he had said in the convention,
which was that he would support any
candidate nominated on the platform
he had assisted in making.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1904-07-16

few words. He compiled promptly
with the request and revealed the best
and strongest voice thus far heard In
the convention. What president has
been brave enough to enforce the law
against the labor union violator of law.
1t was a democratic president" he said,
and applause greeted the assertion.
He passed on to the color question and
declared that If when the black, or yell
low races came into contact with white
people, II that ace would not commit
suicide, it must remain absolutely dis
tinct. A shout from the southern dele
gates greeted the statement. He de-
clared that Booker T. Washington
would soon outlive his undoubted USE
fulness If he did not cease to yield to
the teachings and influences of the re-
publican party and its chieftain.
He urged the men Of the west and
north to refrain from depressing the
south by advocating anything that
tended to ohliterate the racial lines.
He deprecated the fact that In the re-
publican convention not one man had
risen to speak agains. the plank in that
party's platform which urged reduction
of southern representation in congress
because Of alleged Acknowledgement of
voters in the south.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1904-07-16

eight names were presented to the con-
vention. Nominating and seconding
speeches innumerable were made, and
as dawn approached it became neces-
sary to limit the ~seconding speeches
to four minutes each. An exception
was made in the case of William Jen-
nings Bryan, who, in one of the most
dramatic situations ever witnessed in
a political gathering addressed the con-
vention and concluded by ~secOnding
the nomination of Senator Francis M.
Cockrell, "the favorite son" candidate
from Missouri. Mr.. Bryan received the
third great ovation accorded during the
convention. His speech was an impas-
stoned appeal to the delegates to give
the party a candidate who had voted
the democratic ticket in 1896 and 1906.
He spoke on behalf Of the Nebraska
delegation, which he said had no can
didate to present or favors TO ask. but
wanted a candidate whose nomination
would not prove a triumph for one
faction over another. He suggested
Hearst, il the convention thought best,
then former Gov. Pattison, Of Pennsyl-
vania, and finally created a surprise in
the convention by declaring for Sena-
tor Cockrell.
One of the features Of the long
drawn-out session had been the beauti-
full tribute paid to Senator Cockrell
when his name was placed in nomina-
ton by Representative Champ Clark.
1t was a spontaneous outburst, and for
that reason the more complimentary to
the senator. The delegates already
weary by reason Of the tedious n try
ing session, paused in their labors, n
in the .guise OF a nomination for the
presidency which the senator's friends
knew to- be beyond his reach, INDUCED
In a demonstration, continuing nearly
half an hour. Nearly every delegate
and spectator in the galleries or on the
floor had been provided with a flag and
the scene was far the most impressive
of all the ovations given during the
session.
The thousands OF cheering persons
apparently converted Mr., Bryan to the
belief that Senator Cockrelps chances
Of nomination were greater than other
