Can noises be lassoed like wild horses,

says Mr.. Kitchings, who makes acoustic

Take tuning fork of large size and set

the u road, the cries Of peddlers. might,
if properly attuned to each other, be
rendered agreeable instead Of diseordant
and nuisance. A municipal league OF
harmony, like the one for art, might In
time bring it about. There is consider
able energy in noise that might be util-
lied. For example, 1t would be possible
to arrange the con- ination of safe lock
SO as to open 1t by singing certain me-
lody. The notes would set correspond
ing metals vibrating; these would COM
municate with electric power, which, IN
turn. would move the tumbrils of the
locks and the bolts be turned back.
"a set Of whistles on board ship might
be arranged to stand for the different
points Of the compass. In fog the
whistle corresponding to the direction
in which the vessel was sailing would
be blown. On board other ships there
would be set of reverberators indicat-
Ing in the same way the points Of the
compass. BY running over these the one
in harmony with the whistle would be
picked out, and at once inform the second
vessel the direction Of the first and a coll
lision be thus avoided. A warship might
communicate with Its consorts and the
enemy be unable to read the signals"

descended with rope about him. Moon

CHAPTER XIV.
THE LOVERS ARE SEPARATED.

IN HE cessation of the storm
found the old hayboat still
SS7}SSI afloat, but the two lovers on
top of the hay were in pre-
carious condition. The wind and rain
had chilled Alma, and she Struggled
close to Harvey for warmth.
"My darling!' he said as he Rugged
her close. This is indeed terrible
experience for you. Rather would
have remained in the prison at Tiflis
than subject you to such peril"
Dear one, they would have killed
you, and that would have killed me.
Is 1t not better for US to die together,
Il we must diet"
Eyes. 1t Is better; but since the old
hulk and its load Of hay have survived
the worst of the storm, we may yet
run across boat that will pick us up"
Let us hope SO"
They spoke little as they huddled to-
gether on the hay. Each was strain
ing to hear the faintest sound that
might come from over the water.
"Hark!' said Harvey. Dearest, did
you not hear something's

Can 1t be that Russian boats are out
after US so soon, and in that storm?'
"The Russians would not be shout
ing. fancy 1t is some one in distress.
Perhaps the Turks In that cayik are
shouting for help"
With clasped hands they waited
through the dark hours Of the early
morning. Dawn began streaking the
east. Harvey strained his eyes to
pierce the scarcely perceptible light.
Not more than 200 feet from them was
q long, low hull that seemed at rest.
The hum of voices could be heard as
the wind and rolling current carried
them nearer.

she wept on his breast.
"Ho, there!' shouted Harvey at the
top Of his voice. whoever you are.

As the dawn increased and the old
hay barge doated nearer the other
boat Harvey could distinguish dark
forms lined up along the deck rail. He
seemed to recognize that long, low,

and he caught It after several at

In connection with the recent re-
discovery of the brown-taiI moth in
Maine it is interesting to observe what
N, results Of the war which Massachu-
setts has Waged against him are. Iii
previous years that State has made a
determined fight against the moth. as
we'll as the gypsy moth, but 1of the
mast two or three the Legislature has
persistcntly refused to make an appro-
uriation for the work. Prior to the
refusal of the Legislature to furnish
the sincws of war good work was
made in the battle. 1t is not claimed
by any one that the moth was eXternl-
mated there but it is insisted that he
was not gaining ground He was be
ing checked and the plague being re-
duced. Since the failure to pass the
appropriation there has been change
until it is said that at the present time
the brown-tail moth is greater
plague in Massachusetts than it has
ever been in the past, while the cost of
again getting the pest under control
will be much greater than it would
have been but for the cessation OF
hostiliticS. In other words it is be-
Ijevcd that instead of the retrenchment
being a money saver there it VIII
eventually prove to be very eXpen-
sive experiment..
As WAS mentioned some weeks ago
in the Journal. it has been suggested
bv some Massachusetts people that
Congress could be induced to make an
appropriation for the work. This is.
however. generally doubted in that
state for. as leading newspaper
there recently said, editorialiy. the
hrown-taiI and gispsy moth plague did
not infest sufficient amount of terri
tory to make it advisable for Con-
grcss to take up the work of eXternl-
Mating them.
In Maine. Commissioner of Agricul-
turc Gilman has. from the very start.
been on the alert for these moths ana
SO soon as they were reported TOOK
measures for stamping out the threat
cnnd invasion. In this he was sup
ported by the governor and executive
council and it was thought that the
moths had been killed off. Yet it is
we'll recognized that Maine presents
large border for these moths to come
that they have made their reappear-
ance here. Mr.. Gilman is keeping at
the work and is doing all that he can
to prevent them gaining further foot
hold in the state.
II is pointed out by those who I'M
derstand the subject that it Is most
important for Maine to fight the moths
most vigorously for should they reach
the great forest belt of the northern
part of the state the damage which
they would do is almost inconceivable.
Perhaps, outside of those Immediately
interested. this possibility has not been
given consideration. yet 1t Is most
important one for Maine. Let the
moth once get into those great timber
reservations and it will ruin the lum-
Der value of hundreds and thousands OF
acres. This added to the great danger
to orchards i'm the farming regions ana
to fruit and shade trees makes 1t very
important that no effort should De
SHARED which will have tendency to
restrict the advancement of the little
brOWn-tailS.
