rents evolving through it, has been
termed separator by the inventors.
The separation, as stated above, is
obtained for currents of alternate char
acter; in the particular case Of either
of them being a telegraph current, the
frequency of which may range be-
tween rather extensive limits, it will
be necessary, in order to obtain the
separation, that the latter should have
frequency included between the
above limits; otherwise the corre-
spending telegraphic frequencies would
be, as well, eliminated.
1t may finally be understood, as
clearly shown by an analytical discus
sion of the problem, that the separator
will eliminate not only the effects of
current of one single frequency, but
those of a certain number of frequen-
cies as well. all of which are very near
perfect compensation. For frequencies
scarcely different from this theoretical
frequency the effects on the membrane

quencies going as far as about 200
periods. Now, as the Brune-Turchi
separator is capable of annihilating
the effects of currents having frequen-
cies as high as 200 periods, if in any
circuit induced telephone currents
with frequencies of the order above
stated and telegraphic currents uhe
frequencies of which, as is known, are
much superior to 200 periods) are
present at the same time, the separator
will annihilate the effects of the for
mer, those Of the latter remaining ac-
tive; In other words, the telegraphic
transmission will in no way disturb
the telephonic transmission.
The scheme of the arrangement
adopted by the inventors is sketched
in Fig. /. One of the three windings
forming the coil r is inserted in series
with the telegraph line, one of the
other two windings being used for the
insertion of the microphone NJ, the
other forming part of the separator
circuit. This circuit, as stated above,
is divided into two branches, includ-
ing capacities c. and G" and an in
ductance, and terminating in two diff
ferential windings wound on an iron
core F, forming at the same time the
core of third winding used for the

THE OLDEST INDIAN PIPES.
They Show an Artistic Tendency
Which Has Proved a Real Sur
prise to Ethnologists.

The question as to the earliest usage
of tobacco yet awaits solution. Chi
nese and Japanese annals will have to
be considered. Once more the ques-
ton arises, Did tobacco originate in
the east or in the west, and was smok
ing transmitted from one continent TO
the other?
This much is positive, that in 1892
an expedition sent by Columbus to ex-
plore Cuba found the natives smoking
tobacco. The use of the leaves of the
Nicotiana was common Throughout.
both North and South America. One
curious instance of the presence of the
cigar is to be noted in an old Peruvian
stone picture. 1t represents a Peruvian
god smoking cigar of enormous size,
the cigar being about half the length
of the figure.
A matter of much interest is the one
of tobacco pipes, as used by North
American Indians long prior to the
discovery. This particular subject is
treated at some length in the twenti-
eth annual report of the bureau OF
American ethnology, recently issued
The generally accepted idea of the In
dian pipe follows the forms of those
cut from catlinite, a fine-grained and
easily worked stone of q rich red
color, found west of the Big Stone lake
in Dakota. These red stone pipes are
often seen in collections, and they fol-
low about this shape and are rarely
orpamented:
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1904-07-22

Long prior, however, to the red
stone pipe, the Indians fashioned pipes
, of clay, which they modelled, then
aked. 1t is wonderful what skill and
taste they showed. Many of these
pipes have been found in burial
mounds Some show not alone GER
tain niceness of form, but testify to
the skill of those exercising the pot
ter's art. The IroQuan group must
have been very particular as to the
form of their pipes from such speci-
mems as they have left behind them.
One is a pipe. the bowl representing a
coiled snake, the whole length of the
pipe, stem and all, being some six
inches.

firewood is long, and long enough
so it will hold a large armful. This
foundation can be solid or not, as de-
sired, but is much lighter if made
of Stats. AT each end is fitted solid
upright piece which is as wide, and
almost as high, as the width of the
foundation. This serves to keep the
wood in place, the sides being left
open and the wood placed crosswise
in the carrier. An iron rod is bent
for handle, or piece of band iroL
can be used, either one being fastened
firmly to the foundation at the bottom
of the outside of the upright ends.
A more simple one that any boy can
make has a foundation like the first,
and bent green branch for handle.
For the upright ends, use the
branches, bending them so the ends
are fastened to the corners of the
foundation and the rounded part
comes about foot above it. The cor
ners must be strongly fastened with
screws, and the handle be placed out
side the end pieces to hold them firm.
These carriers do away with the Old
woodbox, which is so often an eyesore
in an otherwise attractive Kitchen

NEGREsS SHOT.
Thomas Spurs then Gets
His Head Mashed.

Last Monday night, IL little after
midnight, excitement broke out
among the negroes in southeast
part of the city. Thomas Spurs,
Il negro, according to testimony
before the coronor's jury, with a
shotgun in his hands, met jamie
Burks, John aud Josh Burks, and
Fred Brown, all colored, returning
from dance up town and Spurs
dema ned that the Burks woman
should return to him his "craps"
The woman replied that by G.
she would do so when Spurs paid
her $3.50 which she claimed he
owed her. Spurs, it is said, then
leveled his gun at her and fired.
The woman threw up her arm and
her wrist was nearly torn away, the
charge of shot entering her fore
head. She fell uncOnscious-if it
had been n white person she would
most likely have fallen dead ut the
moment.
The woman's companions then
chased Spurs and threw him to
the ground and beat his head into
a pulp with large rock. Spurs
was found by the officers in dy-
ing condition.
County Coroner DR. j. r. Bias.
kett held an inquest over the body
of Spurs with the following jury:

They returned the following
verdict;
1--WE, the jury, find that the
body which now lies before us is
the body of Tom Spurs, that he
came to his death from the effects
of blows upon his head with a rock
