| But is this description not exactly
and strangely in accord with the tones
from the modern horn, the horn with
which the jubilant man and youth,
woman and girl, OF this period give
vent to their Joy at the birth of the
Christian new year?
Try as you will, you can get moth
ing but piercing, shrill or inharmon-
iOus tone from the tin instrument and
like the ancient shophar, its tones are
unmusical, having neither range or
compass. If needed for such a pur.
pose, however it's blasts from the
summit Of Twin Peaks would summon
a multitude that would comport itself
according to the import Of the occas-
ion.
In Numbers, chapter xxx: !, We
find an injunction as to the use OF tie
trumpet.
Therein the people are commanded
on the first day of the seventh month
to hold ian holy convocation," to do
no servile work, it being "a day Of
blowing Of trumpets unto you'--a
feast OF the trumpets.
Here is demonstrated the giving Up
Of all labor and INDUCING the tones OF
the shophar as heard in the syna-
gogues to this day on like festival.
The skeptic may say that today
outpourings of JOY lack thought, are
INDUCED without the slightest religious
sentiment, have no relationship with
the very same movements and same
trumpetings that characterized the
day when the law was given from
Mount Sinai, those periods when JOY
and victory and holy festival influ'
enced the early peoples of the earth
Who will say that there is no feeling
of thankfulness in the hearts Of the
nation when, with horn ALLOWING
and flags waving. 1t gives vent to It's
joy over victory or any great national
event?
The ancient New Years service, OBJ
served in the synagogues even at this
period, is considered one of the most
impressive in the Jewish liturgy. 1t is
composed Of three parts, which refer
respectively, to the sovereignty, jus
tice and mercy of God, and as each
part is concluded the shophar is
sounded from the pulpit.
The first part, "Malchioth," pro
claims God the universal king.
The second part, "Zichronoth," EN-
phasizes that God remembers the
work of the world and visits all Great
ures and that nothing remains con
cealed from his eyes,"
The last part, "Shopheroth,' speak!
Of the scriptural shophar, and espe
cially as it Is connected with the Civ
ing of the law on Mount Sinai, wheI
it's tones were first heard, and alst
with reference to the time when The
great trumpet" will be sounded 1T
declare the universal triumph of lib
erty and religion"
In a poem sermon founded on pas
sages from the Talmund. by the Rev
Isidore Myers, B. A., in Montreal il
1897 (5657 Jewish year,, the follow
ing occurs:
What solemn thoughts each blast com
pels!
At every sound cur bosom swells:
Our soul is stirred by every note
That issues from the shophars throat.
The first, which "Malchioth" Is named,
In which Gods soverelgnty's proclaimed
Commemmorates fact sublime
| Recalls to mind creations prime.

Thousands of Centuries Re-Echo
in the Blowing of Horns To-Day 5


Blowing of horns on occasions of
Joy and festivity has grown to be an
established institution in the United
States. Whether the custom as prac-
ticed is strictly in musical accord with
the harmonious feelings of 4 people
who in one voice indulge celebration
which affects all alike is another mat
ter.
While the custom Of horn blowing
Is growing, few of the old heads stop
to think of its origin, and the youth
full celebrant little dreams that 1t is
all tradition; that in those reveling
sounds which escape neither nook nor
corner, loft nor cellar, are the echoes
re-schoed from thousands Of centuries
ago-that m0inentous period in the
worlds spiritual and material history
when the blasts from the rams horn
(shophar) proclaimed from Mount
Sinai the giving of the Ten Command
ments to the end of time.
The first mention of it is in the Old
Testament at the giving of the law:
And all the people saw the thunderngs,
and the lightnings, and the noise of the
trumpet.-Exodus, XX:lS.
AS the sound Of the horn signaled
the giving Of the law which was to
lead mankind and stand for life's
moral and spiritual obligations along
the ages, the multitude bowed with
| feelings Of awe and humility.
The sounds were new to the ears
Of the people who listened to their
echoes along the mountain, wondering
at the distant tone repetitions.
And when the people saw it, they re.
! moved. and stood afar Off And they said
| unto Moses. Speak thou with us, and we
Will hear; but let not God speak with US
lest We die"
The fear then in the hearts of the
multitude was significant. They real
lied the import of the occasion, which
had been signaled by the blasts OF
the horn. So, from the very first In
PRODUCTION Of the instrument its
sounds have generally had a signifl
cant meaning and purpose.
How well one can picture the scene
at Mount Sinai when the people trem
bled and stood afar off when Moses
babe them to fear not; that God haG
come to prove them and that his feal
might be before their faces that they
sin not.
The sounding Of the horn on an oc

were heard in time of war.
They were also heard in times O
extreme jubilation and in the temple.
Of the Jews on their days of rejoicing
and on the day Of atonement
In Leviticus, XIV: 8, is found thu
following:
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet o
the jubilee to sound on the tenth day O

And even In this age of advanced

BIG ORDER FOR RAILS.
Hartman Roads to Buy $4,000 Tons
From q. s. Steel Corporation.


From q. 8. Steel Corporation.
According to the Iron Age. the Hartman
roads have placed order in the past
week with the United States Steel Corpora
ton for 10000 tons Of steel rails. Other
heavy orders for rails are recorded. The
iron and steel situation Is thus summarized:
I'm pig iron the week has been rather
quiet, taking the country as a whole. The
purchases OF the United States Steel Cor
poration will probably not be made until
early In September. In the east there
has been further moderate movement
in basic pig. one interest taking 10000 tons
at q concession. while another buyer took
1000 tons In addition to previous purchases
OF 5000 tons. In the Pittsburg district
leading maker Of cast-iron pipe has
bought 10000 tons OF gray forge pig. while
In the Chicago district one foundry Is in
the market for 1900 tons.
Steel billets are scarce and the situa-
ton Is rather acute. particularly in The
Chicago district. At some points accessible
to tidewater small lots Of foreign bIllets
nave been sold.
The pressure upon the structural mills
Is exceedingly heavy, and the payment Of
premiums for prompt delivery and the Inn
porting OF occasional lots Of foreign shapes
seem to foreshadow an upward move
ment. In nearly all the heavy lines the
tonnage on the books Is enormous, and
further work cannot be taken in many
instances from sheer inability to meet even
distant deliveries
In lighter lines the most important de-
veiopment IL that heavy buying movement
has set in all along the wire trade. The tom
mage in sheets. too Is picking up but the
merchant pipe trade Is afflicted with sharp
cutting of prices
In bars the agricultural implement
makers and other consumers who contrac
LOT their requirements for six months aiad
q year aheao nave now pretty well covered.
Inc aggregate tonnage has been very large.

INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION
Millions in New Steel Mills Along
Mononpahe1a

Never before. it is said, has such activity
been witnessed in the erection of steel mills
furnaces and shops as is now being done in
Plttsourg and the Monongahela valley. The
total cost of plants either Just completed
IN course of erection, or for which plans
nave been perfected, is over S25, 0OO, 600 and
the capacity of the iron and steel wire
plants along the Monongahela river will be
almost doubled when all plans are COM
pleted. Over $4,000 men will soon be given
employment In these plants. IN addition to
the present working force of almost 5O,OUt
men.
Among the companies erecting new plants
are the Carnegie Steel Company at Brad
COCK, and Homestead National Tube Com
Dany. at Pittsburg and McKeesport; Jones
and Laughltn. at Pittsburg: American Steel
and Wire Company, at Pittsburg and Ran
kin; Pittsburg Steel Company, Monessen;
McCllntic- Marshall Construction Company
and the Mesta Machine Company. at Pitts
