CRONJE AND GRAPHOPHONE.
The Famous BOcr General Wept NJ
Hearing the Hymn "Ninety
and Nine"

The graphophone is beginning to
figure as a considerable American ex-
port and certainly it is one of the
most curious and interesting. While
it's commercial uses are beyond the
comprehension or needs of the Per-
sian, the Hindoo or the South Sea is
lander, each of them is fascinated by
an invention which ~reproduces the
familiar sounds of the human voice
and %entertains him with grand and
light opera and orchestral music.
Capt. j. w. Webster, of the trans
port Milwaukee, who took Gen.
Cronje to St. Helena, amused the old
hero and his wife with II graphic
phone. Although the instrument is
common enough in Johannesburg, the
general knew of it only by report.
81 heard you had a box that talked
like a man." he said to Capt. Webster
through an interpreter. Webster,
telling the story, says II. L. Arm
strong, in Ainslee's, goes III:
"Yes. general" I replied. land if
you and Mrs. Cronie will come into
my stateroom ] VIII give you an ex-
hibition." They sat down soberly in
front of the talking box and | slipped
in a cylinder containing Moody and
Sankey's hymn, "rhe Ninety and
Nine" which | had beer told they
sung in their own language. The ef-
feet was startling. They recognized
the tune at once and Mrs. Cronje
burst suddenly into tears. Her hus-
hand turned away and wiped his eyes,
and | could see by the spasmodic
clasping and unclasping of his hands
that Gen. Cronje himself was deeply
affected. To relieve the tension |
put on a record with a lively banjo
solo, and in a moment the old gen
tleman began to smile and beat time
with his feet and head, his gray beard
wagging to the melody. 1t was funny
to see him.
when the music had ceased a
black Kaflir boy, a boy servant, who
had followed the party in, said awe
sonely that there was a devil in
the box. Cronie frowned down the
suggestion, but asked whether it
wasn't done by some trick, like VEN
triloquism, making an expressive ges-
ture with the lips. To satisfy him |
took the machine apart and explained
the principle and he seemed deeply
interested. l left the instrument at
st. Helena"

WONDERS OF THE L p
The Most Impressive Feature Of the
Mountains Neglected by
Guide Books.

Myriads of British and American
tourists are at this moment delight
ing themselves with the grandeurs of
Alpine travel. Nothing in the worlds
history is more impressive than the
story of the Alps. Ten or twelve mil
lion. years ago, possibly far more, a
long unseen line of weakness, a crack
or assure in the earth's crust
stretched away from France eastward
hundreds of miles. On this line fol-
lowed huge volcanic outbursts. Next
ensued a vast slow subsistence, which
wen on through geologic epochs, un-
til where Mont Blanc now rears it's
summit IL, 7S0 feet was u sea fringing
an old continent. Large rivers emp
tied into it. Deposits of mud, sand.
gravel were laid one on another as
the sinking went on, until the lay
ers became $4,000 feet. nearly ten
miles thick. Then at last commenced
a great uplifting; the struggling sub
terranean forces raised a huge load.
For ages this went on until the rocks,
crumbled, crushed, contorted, rose
above the waters, and continued to
rise, forming lines of mountain
chains and making Switzerland a ta-
bleland. Every hour since then rain
and snow, river, glacier and ava
lanche have been sculpturing into
peaks and carving into lakes and val
leys that vast platform with it's re-
cent s~edimentary covering and pri-
meval granite core.
The result is a land of unequal
grandeur, says the London Telegraph.
Find you this in the guide books?
Not a word of it.. Yet Prof. Judd in
his charming volcanoes" (Kegan
Paul. told the tale years ago in half
a dozen pages. Would not the travel
er look on the Matterhorn, the jung
frau, the ~stupendous Spulgen, the
massive Gothard, the Mer de Glace,
the deep Lake of Geneva, with quick
ened interest had he this story be-
fore him? And it a be told SO
easily but It's not thera.-London
Telegraph.

HARRY ORCHARDS DEFENSE.
His Attorney Sets Up Novel Defense
-Aas AIibi Ready.

Boise.-Fred Miller of Spokane, at
torney for Harry Orchard, charged
with the murder Of Ex-Governor Frank
Steunenberg at Caldwell, has made an
interesting statement respecting the
instrument found in his clients trunk
which had been pronounced a contri.
vance for determining the combination
OF safes-a tool used by bank burglars
In their occupation.
According to Miller, the instrument
Is used in making loaded dice of the
kind used by gamblers. He said fur.
ther that the plaster of paris found
was used In connection with the same
industry.
Another statement made by Miller
was to the effect that Orchard could
prove an ahDi in the Independence
case. He could clear him Of that
charge in that manner. he said, should
he be taken to Colorado to stand trial
for the crime. Orchard, he declared,
was In Salt Lake at the time of the
explosion. being in attendance at a
miners meeting.
Miller said he thought he could
prove some Of the exhibits In the case
had been manufactured.
1t is reported that the Jap. Charlie
knew Of the presence OF explosives in
Orchards room days before the ex.
plosion. 1t Is rumored he actually saw
the completed internal machine.
1t is now reported as improbable
that the deductions made by Chemist
Jones in the analysis OF various pow
ders. liqul,s and sticks of sup.
posed explosives will be offered as evi-
dence In the preliminary examination.
The prosecution seems to think
enough evidence to hold the prisoner
for trial will be at hand without that.
Attorney Miller tells of receiving a
warning letter. but would not show it.
He says the letter has been sent to
Spokane to find out. IL possible, the
identity OF the writer.
