EVERYTHING IN MUSIC

the cost of doing so (for the improved features have been long and expensive in the making) proves that alert solici- tude for the Story & Clark trade is 6 live characteristic of the house.
 The company has just celebrated the introduction of the improved new scale pianos by publishing one of the hand somest catalogues ever devoted to pi- amos. This of itself is proof that Story ( Clark are confident of having produced something fine and exceptional. And they certainly are confident of it. The improved Story & Clark is an important addition to the higher class of pianos, and it is built with such apparent good judgment of what the public requires that . large demand is sure to follow its advent.
 FROM THE PRESTO, APRI ss, 1904.
 Among the May offerings of the Chi. caeo piano manufacturers there will be nothing more interesting than the forth coming Story & Clark new styles. These new pianos will not only be new in case designs, but practically new pianos in every particular. Having already tried the new scale, Story & Clark pianos We are in position to speak of them with confidence, and there can be no question as to their effect upon the critics of piano construction.
 We often hear of grand tone in the upright case. That result has been ob- tained to . pre-eminent degree in the new Story ( Clark pianos. The new Story { Clark pianos present . new problem for the critics of tone and judges of upright pianos. There is a resonance and power in these pianos al- most incredible in the upright There is . ponderous bass and . fullness of the middle register almost astounding as we'll as gratifying. There is also freedom and carrying power surprising to the listener. Whether these results, 90 unusual in an upright piano, are due in any considerable degree to the case innovation, or whether they are wholly due to the scale and the working out of the plan of acoustics, is . matter for the experts to decide. Certainly the Story ( Clark pianos present almost

TOM DAILY
 BEATEN UP
Herrera Gives Daily . Good Trimming for Fifteen Rounds Terry ncGovern Was in 8 Raid.

Baltimore, April 22.-Before a great crowd in the Fourth Regiment Armory here last night Aurelia Herrera, the Mexican fighter from Bakersville, Cal, badly beat up Tommy Daly, of Brook lyn, in fifteen rounds of terrific fight ing. under the auspices of the Eureka Athletic club.
 For the first few rounds Daly had a slight lead, but the Mexican was all along playing a waiting game, and in about the sixth round his superiority became manifest.
 Several times during the contest he rushed Daly into a corner and rained in such a fusillade of right and left uppercuts and swings that the Brook lyn lad repeatedly dropped to the floor to save himself from the jolts. In the tenth Daly was sent to the floor for a count of eight.
 The thirteenth and fourteenth rounds were all in favor of Herrera, but try as he would, he could not knock out Daly.
 The Mexican came up strong for the fifteenth, which was a furious session.

SOME ARE BORN BLEEDERS
Peculiar Sickness Which Has Been
Brought to Public Notice
of Late.

The rare popularity known as
haemophily or bleeding sickness" has
been brought to notice anew by DR..
Boehme, a German physician. 1t
continues for generation after genera
ton in certain families and is char
acterized by an extraordinary ten
dency to hemorrhage, making the ex.
traction of tooth a dangerous opera
ton, while even a pin prick may lead
to severe or fatal bleeding. The cause
seems to exist in an unexplained fail
ure of the blood to coagulate like nor
NAL blood. The disease has been
studied in more than 60 European
families and in the Mampel family
has been followed for more than
century. Johan Peter Mampel and
wife were not "bleeders. OF their
eleven children three sons were affect
ed and from observations on 212 mem.
bers of these and subsequent genera
tons Of the family a most singular
law of heredity is deduced. This law
is that. while the disease is practically
confined to males, it is never transmit.
ted by these males to their sons, but
only by the women, who are normal,
to their sons.

PLUMAGE OF THE OSTRICH
Infinite Care and Thorough Knowl.
edge Requisites to Perfect
Production.

The domestication of the ostrich in
South Africa for the sake of its
plumage took place less than 80 years
ago. To-day the capital invested runs
into millions.
Ostriches are curious birds. The
male bird sits on the eggs during the
night 6 p. m. to 9 a. NO., the hen
takes up sentry duty during the day,
and the curious thing is that the pair
are punctual to a minute. Eggs left
unprotected for single night will
be useless next morning. The incu-
baton lasts from AZ to as days. When
eight days old the chicks are removed
from their parent birds and put in a
small Enclosure with an old boy or
woman in charge to tame them; unless
this is done they will, when grown up,
retain a great deal of their wild ma
ture.
When the feathers are required a
cap is placed over the head of the
bird, which is then put into a box.
The feathers are not cut unless prop
erly matured; that is to say, when the
blood vein running in the quill has
sufficiently dried up so as to prevent
bleeding. The long wing feathers are
cut about one inch from the flesh.
The short ones are drawn.

MOST DANGEROUS LIQUID.
An Acid That Can Be Kept in None
Other Than Bottle of
Solid Gold.

A solid gold bottle stood on the
chemists table, says the Minneapolis
Journal.
''In that bottle he said, "my hydro
fuoric acid is kept. Hydrofuoric acid
is used in glass The etching
on glass thermometers is all done with
it. It is colorless. 1t looks like water.
But drop of it on your hand would
bore clean through to the other side
like a bullet It's inhalation Is sure
death.
"Hydrofuoric acid can be safely kept
only in gold bottles. Sometimes bot
ties of India rubber or lead or Of plat.
mum are used. None of these, though
is as safe as gold. Even when this
acid is in a gold bottle precautions
must be taken; it is volatile and a
paraf1n- covered plate must be clamp
ed tight over the bottles mouth. Also
the temperature Of the room must
not rise over 60 degrees or the gold
bottle will burst.
'"This acid, whose sole use is in
glass-etching, is probably the most
dangerous thing in the world to work
with The steeple jack, the lion tanner
the diver, even the Japanese and Rus
sian soldiers do not take their lives
in their hands to half the extent the
glass etcher does when, with his gold
vial of hydrofluoric acid, he etches
the scales on our thermometers"

SHE WANTED THE MONEY.
Clever japanese Actress Declined Vase
Proffered by the President
of France.

Sada Yacco, the charming little JAP
anese actress, is a great favorite in
Paris. She is, moreover, exceedingly
'frank-appallingly so-as may appear
from the following incident which her
friend, Loie Fuller, is telling just now.
Mistress saba was invited to take
part in private performance given by
President Loubet. She was delighted,
and so were the host and his guests,
the Loubet pleasure promptly taking
the form of a magnificent Sevres vase,
which was presented to the fascinating
Oriental by the august donor himself.
A smile was his reward-that beam
ing, chiljlike smile, which only pref
ty Japanese girl can properly achieve.
saba Yacco recognized the gentleman's
good intentions and gave him full
credit for them, but she is as practical
as she is graceful, and this is what
she said
every sorry. Very sorry. Not take
vase to Japan. Too far. Get broken.
Take money. Very sorry.
While the onlookers gasped she
beamed on the president all over
again, sweetly, serenely unconscious
that she had done anything out Of the
ordinary. And she got the money.

HE LIKED REGULARITY.
Publisher Missed the Daily Dunning
from Lawyer to Which He Was
Accustomed.

About year ago Junior member
Of prominent firm Of lawyers made
a departure from his usual line and
undertook to collect debt due a
downtown publisher, relates the New
York Herald. The amount in dispute
was $4,000. 1t had been hanging fire
for a long while and there seemed
very little chance of ever collecting it.
'3I've tried every way I can think
off, said the publisher. Maybe you
can scare the fellow into paying up.
If you can, I'll give you half you col
lect.'
The lawyer took the case and finally
collected the money. Then came a
tussle with the publisher, who failed
to live UP to his end of the agreement
He paid half of the $1,000 fee, as
promised, but withheld the remaining
$780,
For the first two months the law
yer's efforts toward a settlement were
conducted in dignifed manner. Con
sentative methods proving unavailing
he resorted to a system of petty an
noyances.
Day after day his errand boy was
dispatched to the publishers office
with written or verbal request Il
settle the account. For four months
| this persecution continued, but at las
there came a day when in the rusf
of business the lawyer neglected thu:
| to jog the delinquent's memory.
| Late in the afternoon he was re
minded of the cessation of hostilitie:
in an unexpected manner. Into hi
| private Office, where he was engaged
in serious consultation, there pene
trated a red-headed, wide-eyed boy.
Say piped the youngster, "Tn
from Mr. Blank, the publisher. H
wants to know why your boy ain
been around to-day to dun him TO
that $500 he owes you"

Wheels for Vehicles

Attention has been called by tech
nical writer's to the fact that the
wheels Of vehicles intended for driving
roads have not kept pace in develop
ment with the other parts Of carriage
mechanism. Experiments with heavy
vehicles indicate that wheels should
be made higher and broader. In Eng
land it has been recommended that
with maximum axle load of eight
tons the width of tire should be about
ten and a half inches. Increase of the
diameter Of the wheel is said to be
more effective in preventing damage to
roadbeds than width of tire
