MENACE OF CANNED MUSIC
Machine Made Article FearfuIly and
Wonderfully Made, and
Then Some.

Right here is the menace to machine
made music! The first rift in the lutte has
appeared. The cheaper of these instru-
ments OF the home are no longer peing
purchased as formerly. and all because the
automatic music devices are usurping their
places.
And what is the result? The child be-
comes Indifferent to practice, for when
music can be heard in the homes without
the labor of study and close application,
and without the slow process of acquiring
a technique It will be simply question
of time when the amateur disappears en-
tirely, and with him host of vocal and
instrumental teachers. who will be without
field or calling"
Then what of the national throat? VIII
II not weaken? What of the national
chest? VIII 1t not shrink?
When a mother can turn on the pho
nograph with the same ease that she APP
plies to the electric light. will she Groom
her baby to slumber with sweet lullabys
or will the infant be put to sleep by ma
chinery2
Children are naturally initiative. and IT,
in their infancy, they will hear only phono-
graphs, will they not sing, If they sing at
all in imitation and finally become simply
human monographs, without soul or ex-
preston? Congregational singing will suf-
fer also, which. though crude at times, at
least improves the respiration OF many
weary sinner and softens the voices OF
those who live amid tumult and noise.
The host of mechanical reproducing ma
chimes, in their mad desire TO supply music
for all occasions. are offering TO supplant
the illustrator in the class room, the dance
orchestra. the home and public singers and
players, and so on.
There was a time when the pine woods
OF the north were sacred to summer sim
pllcity, when around the camp fire at night
the stories were told and the songs were
sung with a charm all their own. But
even now the invasion of the north has
begun, and the ingenious purveyor OF the
canned music Is urging the sportsman, on
his way TO the silent places with gun and
rod. tent and canoe, to take with him some
disks. cranks and cogs to sing to him as he
sits by the freight a thought as I'M
happy and homogeneous as canned salmon
by a brook trout
In the prospective scheme OF mechanical
music we shall see man and maiden in a
light canoe under the moon upon an
Adirondack lake with a gramophone CAROL
ing love songs from amidships.
Shall we not expect that when the ma
ton once more sounds its call to arms and
the gallant regiment marches forth, there
will be no majestic drum major. no serried
ranks OF sonorous trombones, no glittering
array OF brass. or rolling of drums? In
their stead will be a huge photograph.
How the soldiers bosoms will swell
at the thought that they are being led
into the strife by machine!-John Philip
sousa In Appleton's.

WALKING TOURS BY MAPS
A Government Atlas which Shows
the Topography of the
Entire Country.

While the majority OF the people who
visit greater fields and pastures new in
summer select the conventional hotel or
boarding house, where they may exist with
all the comfort Of home, as 1t is put in the
language of hotel circulars, there are many
who sigh for change from the euchre
parties, the piazza gossip and the trivial
things that go toward making up day In
the average summer resort. To such, II
they have time In plenty and strength as
WELL a walking tour or journey a-wheel.
or, perhaps, by carriage, is a pleasant
change and the advantages Of a vacation
spent in such way are manifold.
Whether the destination be the wilds of
Maine, the White mountains Of New Hamp-
shire, the Berkshire hills or the rolling
hills Of Vermont, many charming places
may be found far from the whistle of tho
locomotive and to all appearances removed
a great distance from the outer world.
Happy is he who starts on such journey,
knowing not where ne may go, simply ex-
ploring the country at his own sweet will,
by use of the typographical maps which the
government OF the United States is SO
busily preparing and constantly perfectfng
Complete and accurate maps of the coasts.
rivers and land surface are prepared by
the United States geological survey, three
scales being used. This work was begun
in 1882. and now one-fourth the total area
including Alaska, has been mapped. The
largest scale is one mile TO the inch. An
other scale shows two miles to the inch
while the third and smallest shows four
miles to the inch.
According to this a map OF the United
States would necessarily be of great size
since the distance from New York TO San
Francisco is 5000 miles. so for convenience
I'm printing and surveying. these maps have
been reduced TO sheets of atlas size The
dimensions of the maps are 1s1sx21X inches,
and the map occupies a space 17h inches
in height and liz to IS inches in width
Great care is taken as to detail, and on
these sheets are shown the important fea-
lures OF the country, such as water or
drainage under one heading. relief under
another and culture under a third.
Water, the first division, includes seas,
lakes, rivers, ponds. large and small
streams, canals swamps. etc. the signs de-
noting these features being in blue. The
small canals and streams are in blue water
lines and the larger lakes. streams, seas,
etc, in blue water lining.
rounded eminence is shown by eIlipticaI
contours and as a guide to the eye every
fifth is heavier than the four preceding,
while on 1t figures are given showing the
exact elevation above sea level. One may,
with but little experience, soon become
able to tell from one OF these maps the
exact contour of the country. it's character
as TO grade Of road, where there are swift
streams and where marshes abound where
good views may be obtained and the amount

The ice Famine.

The Washington excursion steamers
which get several tons of ice ssOh day
had their orders either cut in half or
turned down entirely. A day or two
ago several of the steamers stopped here
and obtained partial supplies, but the
ice men in this city are holding on to
the supply they have to protect their
focal trade. A dealer from Washington
came 10 Alexandria and offered the
Mutual Ice Company $40 per ton for
ten tons per day until the shortage in
che ice supply 10 chat city is relieved, but
the offer was refused. The Mutual Ice
Company stated yesterday in the Gazette
that consumers in this city would be fur
nished with all the zee needed and that,
too, at former prices. This brings to
miud the attempt on the part of Wash
ingtOuians to buy up Alexandria's coal
supply several years ago, Vhen the strike
produced q coal famine, and the Som-
mendable action of Mr.. VIM. A, SmOot
in refusing the high prices offered for his
banks of coal, preferFiug to sell 1t to
Alexandrians at old prices. Washing
tooians are often wont to look upon
Alexandra jeeringly, but when they
covet anything this city possesses they
are by no means SLOW in making their
wants known.

After Gambling Houses.

As was stated in the Gazette, Com
monweallh's Attorney Brent yesterday
in the trial of JOhn Ennis, charged with
robbing Mr.. r. E. Knights store, and
Hugh Strider, charged with receiving
stolen goods, brought out the statement
from Ennis that a gambling house in
which liquor is sold without license
exists in the heart OF the business pOr-
ton of the city. Mr. Brent in CONVEX
satiOn with a representative of the
Gazette this morning stated that, should
the police department fail to take imme-
diate action in the case, he would as
soon rs Judge Barley returns to the
CITY apply for a special grand Jury in
order to have those conducting the place
indicted The action of Mr.. Brent will
be commended by all law-abidiDg citi-
zens. The circumstances in connection
with Ennis's case show that passion
tor gambling .eGds on TO more serious
Offenses. aud joints where such passion
are cultivated are baBelui to any COM
munity. 1t must not be supposed that the
place mentioned by Ennis is the only
one in the city. 1t is believed as tirmly
as anything else that clnnot always be
proven before court mat there are
other places where young people esreci-
ally are given their first lessons in the

The ehiladerphIa u eeord

Phe fact tnst good thing Ia never
wasted on the public Is strikingly il
Illustrated by the increasing popularity OF
'The Philadelphia Record" True merit
is always appreciated if backed by en-.

There are older newspapers than "Fhe
Record" and papers that have shot up

ephemeral brillisncy, only to come down
again like charred sticks But "The
Record" has advanced steadily and ir-
resislably year by year since 20 years
ago it sci the pace as the pioneer one

hssuever retrograded; it has never even
stood still, sndtodsy its circulation
exceeds that ofany other newspaper pub
lished 10 the 5tste of Pennsy lvsnia, with
an influence that is felt all over the
country.
Continued success is never accidental. Ii
is possible to stumble into hornets nest,
with lust about as much chance Of winning
out ia the end. But luck has never entered
into the sucress of THE r cord" That sue
cess has been due tn ke n insight directed
toward the public mind, an ability to see at
a glance what the publ wanted in the way
of a newspaper, and then to supply that
want. The Record" has never attempted

journalism that was inherently distastefn
