Possibilities Of the Future.

Two years from now it is officially
promised that one can, if they choose,
unscrew the incandescent bulb OF the
electric light in their drawing room or
bed chamber, affix tiny instrument,
and the apartment will be flooded with
melody OF the great masters, and sleep
may be wooed by the dreamy waves Of
melody. Concerts may be given in
the home, or orchestra music supplied
for dancing. Already work is in
progress to supply the New England
States from a central point in Boston.
The machine is said to produce every
primary vibration known to the hu-
man ear. 1t has been examined by
Lord Kelvin and DR.. Steinmetz, reput-
ed to be the greatest living electricians.
Lord Kelvin is quoted as saying that
the Invention is tho greatest he has
ever known. At the Central Station
the best artists only will be employed,
and the music will be varied from
Wagner to rag.time to suit the taste
and whims of the public. The music
will be supplied by measured service
to homes, hotels, hospitals and res
taurauts.

CROP BULLETIN.

Following is the crop bulletin, U.
S. Department OF Agriculture, at Sc.
attic, for the week ending May 80:
The week was one of moderately
warm days and cool nights, and was
entirely without rain in all districts.
Frosts occurred in many parts Of the
State on the Gath and 25th, particu.
larly in the eastern division OF the
State, which were most severe in Spo.
kane and localities of Whitman, Walls
Walla and Columbia counties. Straw
berries werebadly injure d a, and tender
vegetables were cut to the ground. In
a few fields wheat was slightly injured
On the whole, the week was favorable
for growth. although there is general
need of rain. Most crops made good
progress. Winter wheat continues
in excellent condition, and spring
wheat and oats have grown, although
slowly. Rain is needed for the germi.
nation of late-sown wheat and vege
tables. Pastures and meadows on
uplands show need OF rain, but the
promise of q hay crop is good. Hop.
are doing nicely, but were badly beaten
by strong winds. The prune crop in
Clarke county is believed to be 9
failure.

A Practical UnicycIe.

Speeding over ground inside a big
wheel is made possible by the inven-
ton of the Negroni motor unicycle.
This was perhaps the most novel fea-
ture of the Milan Automobile Show.
The driver does not loop, but is HIM
self looped. That is to say, the single
hubless and spoksless wheel is made to
revolve around him. A circular frame
is fitted concentrically to the lamin.
ated steel rim, the motor and drivers
seat being fitted within the circle in
such manner that when the outer
pneumatic.tired rim begins to revolve
the person carried is borne along in
the ordinary parallel fashion. When
the direction wheel rim is moved the
riders seat is moved slightly to one
side or other. thus altering the equi.
librium as desired for turning pur.
poses. The least leaning on the part
OF the driver in the direction he de.
sires to take causes the machine to
curve in that direction. The power IL
transmitted from the motor to the
inner periphery OF the rim by means
OF toothed wheel engaged in q
cylindrical ratchet. The band brake
is furnished with device whereby il
is impossible to lock the frame in the
rim, and thus cause the auto.cyclist
to start looping the loop on his seat
whenever he would bring his machine
to q stop. From the point of view ol
the plessure-seeker the most serious
drawback to the invention will proba.

Heat Without Combustion.

Charles s. Baker, a negro, of St.
Joseph. Mo-, announces that he has
solved the problem Of producing heat
and power without combustion. He
has q hot-water heater in operation,
having worked for twenty-three years
to complete it. By means OF friction
heat is conveyed into an air or water
chamber, whence the hot air, hot
water or steam is conveyed by means
OF ordinary pipes to where it is to be
used. With the water in the boiler.
and all the steam radiators cold, it is
possible to heat the radiators and
show ten pounds pressure on the steam
gauge in less than one.half the time it
can be done by any other known pro-
cess. After the gauge begins to show
pressure, it rises at the rate OF pound
q minute. This is considered . re-
markable performance. The same
heater may be used for either low pres
sure or high pressure steam. The
limitations which apply to ordinary
steam boilers are not applicable to the
friction heater.

father was cut down before lie was
extinct, but he has remained un.
conscious since, and is not expected

A landslide on perfectly level ground
is the phenomenon that startled the
residents of Green Lake, King county,
recently, aud an area OF earth about
half an acre in extent moved dis.
tance of forty feet without any ap-
parent reason. The cause for the
freak exhibition remains a matter of
conjecture. At Sixty-first street the
ground started sliding and it was fully
fifteen minutes before the commotion
subsided. In the interval the land,
which was OF swampy, marshy ma
ture, had covered the garden and
grounds of G. L. Green's residence for
depth OF several feet. A herd of
pasturing cows were caught in the
slimy mass and extricated only after
great difficulty. The moving mass
contained a number of stumps, and
these remained upright for thirty feet
after the slide started. Then they
toppled over. Some OF the stumps
were four feet in diameter. A guam
tity Of the debris also continued into
the lake, while spring which had
been concealed came to light and shot,
geyser fashion, several feet into the

SLUMBER SONG.

White sheep, wOolly sheep,
Drowsily they go,
Winding through the pastures deep
Bleating soft and low,
Ba-baa,
Baa, baa, baa!
Count then, as they plod:
Great and small, they travel all
To the land of Nod.
Elves that uone can number,
In down of elder shod,
Are bringing flowers of slumber,
Poppies heavy with slumber,
Dropping with dews of slumber,
Up from the fields of Nod.
Md, mid, nod!
A haze is DER the sod!
A:dusk of things, browse of wings
You lose your way in Nod.
Gray doves, dreamy doves,
Harken how they WOO:
Love your love, your love thatloves
Only. only you.
Do, do,
Do, e, do!
Brooks of Dreamland flow,
Half in browse, the nodding boughs
Waver to and fro.
Elves that none can number,
In down of the elder shod,
Are bringing flowers of slumber,
POppies heavy with slumber.
Dropping with dews of slumber,
Up from the fields of Nod.
Md, mid, nod!
A haze is DER the sod;
A dusk of things-a browse of wings
You lose your way in Nod.

AFTER MEMORIAL DAY.

Once more we've heard the mutiled drum
and marched with hauting tread.
Once more we've strewn the fragrant
bloom above our comrades dead;
Then back to home and love beneath the
old flag overhead
To wait for taps" to sound our final
call
With dimming eyes we've backward
gazed and seen the comrades true
Who heard Gods reveille and woke to
pass in grand review
From wars sad strife to rest in peace
above in heavens blue,
Their names on honor's roll while time
shall last.
Our eyes have seen the battle smoke,
and through the gathering years
The soft winds bring us once more our
commanders ringing cheers;
And through the mists of passing time a
messmate's face appears,
Transiigured by the touch of hands
divine.
We've spread against the fragrant bloom
DER graves where comrades sleep;
The old flag DER their resting-place eter-
nal vigils keep.
And home again we only wait while
evening shadows creep
For "taps" to summon us to sleep
with them.

"Aren't you going to kiss sister

"No! Is not, Louise"
"Why not. Kitty"

Knife Blade Thirty Feet Long

The biggest carving knife ever man.
ufactured may be seen at the Worlds
Fair. This monster blade is thirty
feet in length and has an edge as
sharp as razor. 1t is made out of
the finest steel, and the handle is a
masterpiece of the cutters art, elabor-
ately carved and beautifully polished.
1t would take a veritable giant to
WELD knife like this. The blade is
altogether of American manufacture,
and it is expected to show for the first
time that American cutlery has now
reached a point of perfection where it
fears no rivalry. The giant carving
knife cost several thousand dollars,
and special machinery had to be made
before its construction could begin,
No such knife was ever before manu-.
factured.

THE new machine gun which has
just been formally adopted for use in
the Dutch army appears to be most
efficient and weighs very little more
than an ordinary rifle. Its important
difference from all other machine
guns is that it can be carried and
operated by one man, and it has no
bulky carriage, but merely requires a
tripod stand or a simple rest. 1t is
possible for a mounted man to carry
the gun and 1000 rounds of ammuni-
tion, which can be fired at the rate OF
300 rounds per minute, or slower if de-.
sired. The cartridges are not carried
in = belt, but are fitted into curved
magazines, each holding 80 rounds,
and packed side by side into a special
kind. Of knapsack. The new machine
gun is also far cheaper than any simi-
lar weapon.
