How We Hear Ourselves.
Translation for Literary Digest.


That man does not hear his own voice
as all the rest of the World hears 1t is
shown by an interesting experiment de-
scribed by DR.. L. Laloy in La Nature of
Paris. Says this writer:
IF a person records on q photograph a
few sentences pronounced by himself, to-
gether with others by his friends, and
causes the machine to reproduce these at
the end Of a brief period, 1t generally hap
pens that he easily recognizes his friends
voices, but not his own. On the other
hand, the friends recognize his voice per-
fectly. This singular fact proves that every
one hears his own voice differently from
others.
LAS is remarked by Prof Exner, the DIFF
ference must lie IN the quality OF tone. IT
must be remembered that one hears his
own voice not only through the air, as 40
his auditors, but across the solid parts SIT
uated between the organs OF speech ana
those of hearing. The sound thus pro-
duced has a different timbre from that con-
Quoted to the ear by the air alone.
I'VE may show this as follows: Take the
end of a wooden rod between the teeth and
pre- nounce vowel continuously. Let the
other end be alternately taken between the
teeth and released by another person. who
at the same time stops his ears. The latter
in his teeth the sound becomes stronger
than when 1t reaches his ear through ar
alone, and has a different quality. The ex-
pertinent may be varied by applying a
wooden rod to the larynx OF the person OBJ
served, and touching 1t from time to time
to the observers own larynx. AS IN the
pl eceding case, it will be. found that It's
passage through solid body augments the
intensity of the sound and incomes us
quality"

Judgment of the lower court in the case
of John W. Koontz, appellant, against the
District of Columbia, the Anacostia and

James K Murphy and remanded the cause
for new trial. koontz sued to recover dam
ages alleged to have been occasioned by
the joint or concurrent negligence of the
defendants. The court below instructed the
jury that there was not sufficient evidence
upon which verdict could be found for
the plaintiff. The latter appealed from the
ruling.

on some green vegetable matter. In the
trial court the defendants moved for judy

AMERICAS TREASURE ISLANDS.
Pacific Islands Where Nature is Rich
in Bounties.
From the Booklovers' Magazine

From the Booklovers' Magazine.
Captain Mcclellan, whose recent voyage
to the Aleutian Islands in the revenue cut
ter Manning has had such memorable re-
suits, found the streams of Attu and of the
other islands crowded with salmon. On
Buldir Island, in 80 degrees and 30 minutes
north, he found new fur seal rookeries
That this discovery may prove to be Of
great financial value may be realized when
it is considered that the revenue from the
amounted thus far to over $JO,OOOOO0. On
Umnak Island the revenue cutter steamed
into a harbor two miles long and three
fourths of mile wide.
So strongly convinced are some of the
alert men of the northwest that the Aleu-
tians are now destined to assume great i'm
portance in the affairs of the Pacific that a
company has been formed to colonize the
archipelago. Wharves and storehouses are
to be built, and trading stations establish
ed. Stock raising Is to be begun first on
Akun Island. There, it is estimated, fifty
thousand head of cattle can find abundant
pasture the year through.
1t Is claimed that on account of the molli-
flying influence of the Japan current the
Aleutian Islands have a more desirable eli
mate than any part of the Atlantic sea-
board north Of Cape Hatteras. Aside from
stock raising, general agriculture is to be
inaugurated 1t is stated that copper gold,
Oil and coal are found on the islands, and
that there is a great abundance of water
power, as in Japan. One town, called Jar
Wis, has already been started in Lost Har-
Dor. The problem of transportation will
not have to be solved. as In the interior Of
Alaska, for steamers to and from the ORR
ent, Siberia, st. Michael and Nome now
pass daily within few miles of some of
the best harbors in the archipelago.

Our Later Friendships.
From Golfers Weekly.

from COiuer weekly
People make friends later than they used
to, or at least so 1t seems to us-probably
because they grow old. in general, later
than they did. Friendship must change it's
nature with advancing years, but whatever
makes later life full of activities and new
beginnings causes friendships also to begin
at even the later stages of the journey. or
two old men, early friends, who had quar-
relied. Coleridge said:
They stood aoof, the scars remaining
Like cliffs which had been rent asunder
Such an image. of course, gives powerfully
the sense OF fixity, the opposite of the fluid
potentiality of youth. Yet in the same
poem we have the hint that not all is glo-
rious in youth:
And constancy lives in realms above;
And life is thorny, and youth is vain.
Friendship becomes rid of some vanity, 1t
becomes more noble and satisfying to the
deeper thoughts and ideals, when the roots
of ii grow back into a long distant past;
and if we can keep the power of making a
few new friends in age as we need them, to
supplement those inherited from youth,
which grow fewer with the years, but ripper
and more select, friendship should play a
satisfying role far along toward the end OF
life the best role, indeed, of its career, IL, as
Emerson thinks, lifetime is needed for its
completeness, while an hour or day Is
enough for toll or play. The late friend
ships of the unmarried, the childless and
the widowed, have a special necessity and
pathos of their own, for mates and clih-
dren, to, a large extent. at certain periods,
naturally take the place of other friends

Cameras Barred In Japan.
From Harper's Weekly


To use a camera in the southern island
towns means its polite but immediate con-
fiscation and a punishment by fine. BY
great courtesy, a display of passports and
a proper degree of self-reproach for having
ignorantly disobeyed the laws, you may,
cure the return of the camera, minus
the roll of films. So strict Is the
camera regulation at fortified ports that
an English lady who took a picture
of the captain on the bridge of one of
the vessels in the harbor of Moji was ap-
preached, several hours later, by a men,
Der of the harbor police, and asked to de-
liver up her camera. Protests were useless,
and the camera was taken ashore, the films
probably developed, as they were never re-
turned, and the camera was sent back the
following day.
On another occasion traveller who OPEN
ed up a small pocket camera in the streets
of Shimonoseki was promptly piloted to the
station house, violently protesting that re
had done no wrong, and that he had not at
tempted to take any photograp hS of fOrti-
fications nor soldiers. The diminutive and
quiet captain of police, who spoke English
brokenly, remarked. solemnly, I'VE will
see," and the tourist waited four hours
while they saw. At the expiration of this
time he returned and said, What you said
was true, but we shall, notwithstanding, be
verify of the law in this case. You have
photographed no fortified tons or soldiers,
but you have committed a crime"-and,
while the trembling culprit blanched In ter
ror he finished-"and your fine will be 50
SEN 40 cents).

Eve Strain and Brain Fag.
From the BoOkloyer.


II YOU glance through the biographies of
any twenty-five great literary workers you
will find a strange and striking difference
between the personal lives of perhaps half
of the number and of the others. Twelve
or fifteen will be found to be comparative
ly healthy while the others are constantly
afflicted, and endure lives of intense suffer
ing. OF this class are George Eliot, Hux-
ley, De Quincy. the Carrlyles, Parkman,
Browning, Wagner. Spencer, Whittier. Mar
earet Fuller, Lewes, Darwin and Nietzsche.
If we examine carefully the biographies
and letters of the fourteen geniuses just
mentioned, it will be found that they all
suffered In much the same way. They had
headache, sick headache dyspepsia. ner-
yousness, indescribable misery, irritability,
insomnia and detection. Moreover, all of
them learned every day that the use of
their eyes in their occupations caused these
symptoms, and that the only cure was
non-uee of the eyes in such work.
The so-called brain flag" is a silly myth.
The brain does not tire; intellectual work
does not hurt under normal conditions. 1t
is eye strain that causes all the brain flag
which the newspapers have been exploiting
of late. Spencer learned this lesson, and
escaped the tragedy of Nietzsche and Car
lyle by debating his writings, getting others
to do his research work for him, and by be-
ing willing to go without vast realms of
accurate knowledge. Parkman was driven
to similar expedients. But all the rest
groaned and suffered even while they wrote
little notes and postal cards instead of
letters to their best friends.

TRAINING GUN POINTERS.
Great Care Observed in the Selection Of
Men-Use of the Dotter.

From the Worlds Work.
When China found herself arrayed against
Japan she offered $500 cash per month for
skilled gun pointers, but in all great navies
gun pointers are trained. not bought, and
when the fight is on it is too late for in
struction.
How does a man become an expert gun
ner? Diligent drill and constant training
are not enough, without certain amount
of natural aptitude. One man after an
other is tried. A few days drill in the tur-
rets eliminates all except the fairly prom
Using. For the talent OF eye and nerve
which makes the born gun pointer the gov
eminent pays from 81 to $40 a month in adj
dition to the regular pay. This premium
is not confined to any race, creed or color.
On one vessel in the navy one of the gun
pointers Is negro. Gsr. -,
Selecting gun pointers Is one of the most
important duties in the navy. Having Sc
lected the men for gun pointers, the next
now in vogue, both having the same prin-'
ciple, but differing in detail. IN the old
days of sails and smooth bore guns the in
variable rule-and the only rule the gun
captains knew-was this: Fire at the top
of the downward roll Gust as the ship be-
gins to roll toward the target. and aim
at the enemys water line"
This rule lasted far into the age of steam
and turret guns, and has only recently been
supplanted by continuous aim firing or
the art of keeping a gun trained on the
target, regardless of the oscillations of the
vessel during the whole or portion of
the roll
The method Of training men by the new
system-by the use Of "dotter'-was de-
vised by Capt. Percy Scott Of the British
navy. The dotter is mechanical device
which causes a small target to move across
the face of gun, with combined vertical
and horizontal motion. The gun pointer
must make the gun follow the target. and
whenever the sights are on the bull
he presses button. This causes a pencil
to dot the target. That is his shot The
other method of instruction is with the
Morris tube, which consists of small gal
lery rife fitted on the gun, to take the place
of the dotter's pencil
So proficient have the bluejackets become
in handling the turret guns that in actual
target practice on board the Alabama 13-
inch gun is loaded and fired in thirty-eight
seconds. Two kinds of target practice are
employed now in all navies, one in which
the target is stationary and the ship NOV
Ing, the other in which both ship and tar
get are moving.
