Music by Electricity.

Now an invention has been wrought out
that proves that electricity Is capable Of
producing-not reproducing, but producing
music Of rare beauty and purity. A visit
to shop in Holyoke Mass shows a ma
chine that is really manufacturing music,
relates the Worlds Work.
DR.. Thsddeus Cahill, the inventor, de-
clares that It is as easy to create music
at the other end of fifty miles of wire az
to send telegraphlc message. At key
board of his device a performer-or there
may be two-lightly presses down the keys,
and at receivers, perhaps many miles dis
tant. music pours forth. In pressing the
keys the performer throws upon a wire a
vibration or a set OF vibrations which
turns into aerial vibrations or audible mu-
sic, when they reach the diaphragm of a
telephone receiver. The vibrations stand
for notes and tones and they scurry along
to do their work the instant they are re-
leased The performer is conscious only
Of the music he produces. He does not
necessarily hear 1t. He need know nothing
Of the mechanical process he sets in action
by the pressure of his fingers on the keys.
Yet under his fingers the electrical vibra-
lions act tractably and Instantaneously,
At will he turns an exhaustless supply of
different kinds Of vibrations to produce
at distance just the sounds he desires.

Changing Names.

Champ Clark is going to support the
amendment to the immigration bill intro
duced in the house by James Francis
Burke, which allows an alien when he
takes out naturalization papers to choose
a name that his English speaking neigh
bors will be able to pronounce Thereby
hangs a tale related by the Pittsburg Dis
patch The Missourian's real name Is
James Beauchamp Clark He never writes
II that way at all, unless II is in a matter
Of great solemnity. Champ Is the very best
name In the country, he believes.
You never have the newspapers saying
Representative Clark Of Missouri when
they want to say something nice about
me-" observed the Mlssourian, ''They say
Champ Clark because It Is easy"
How Clark came to shorten his name is
interesting. The first time he went away
from home he realized that there were
many ]. b. Clarks in the country. He
went 10 Lexington. Ky. All the letters his
girl wrote him were opened by James r..
Clark that lived there and all were sent
back endorsed, mot for me-" and signed
by the other James b.
Clark tried writing It merely Beauchamp.
He knew that was a good and hon
orable old French name. But he also
learned that beautiful field" as said by
the Frenchman is wholly unlike the effort
OF the uneducated American, so he dropped
the Beau and submitted to having the lat
ter part Of the name pronounced as II II
were the first syllable OF champion Now
| he wouldn't trade with Mr.. William
Hohenzollern. Mr.. Edward Victim. even
with Mr. Franz Josef Hapsburg- Lorraine.
Champ just suits him.

benefits OF ocean travel, among which has
always been counted the possibility of get

so of having the mind entirely free from
the anxious strain which attends lively
connection with the activities OF existence.
But, on the other hand, Il may tend to
stimulate desire to travel by relieving the
fears OF many who have dreaded to get out
of touch with their own even for the short

transmission Of news which the wireless
telegraphy, when perfected, may make will
be but another step in the steady progress
Of science toward the reduction Of the size
Of the earth until every man may touch

An Austrian chemist, DR.. Hans Kuzel
has, after many years hard work. sue
ceeded in constructing a new electric
lamp, which he calls the Syrius lamp. AS
is we'll known, incandescent gaslight is
cheaper than electric light because the
fllarnent wires Of the latter are very ex-
penslve and the glass bulbs soon wear
out DIR. Kuzel has now invented a new
substitute for the glow-thread by form
ing out of common and cheap metals and
metalloids colloids in plastic mass,
which can be handled like clay and which,
when dry, becomes hard as stone. Out of
this mass very thin wire threads are then
shaped, which are of uniform thickness
and of great homogeneity These two
characteristics are Of great value in tho
technics OF incandescent lamps The
Kuzel or Syrius lamp hardly needs ont-
quarter of the electric current which this
ordinary electric lamp with a flament
wire requires. Experiments. II is asserted,

FiehtinR for Telephone MonopoIr.


f0HE iiveliest kind OF a struggle for
telephone competition is going on
IN New York City. The New
York Telephone company now
- controls the field and is putting
VI the fight OF its existence to maintain
It's monopoly. Seeking entrance TO the city
is the Atlantic Telephone company, con-
solidation OF Independent companies oper-
ating telephone systems in the nearby
towns. This company is strongly backed
and Is giving the Bell company a warm
run for the business. Both companies are
bombarding the public through the adver-
tislng pages Of the papers. II Is the skrm-
fish In Omaha last year developed into a
battle royal in Greater New York
The New York company has heretofore
charged ''all tire trafic will bear" and has
successfully resisted efforts for relief
through legislative enactment. Conse-
quently the company is in decidedly bad
odor 1t has scarcely a disinterested
friend in the present contest Public
spirit as reflected by the newspapers is de-
cidediy against the company and also
against a dual telephone system. There
is however a distipct determination to
admit competition unless the existing COM
pany makes a radical reduction of rates
An unsatisfactory response to that sentl-
nent is made by the company, effective
July II. The old rate Is 10 cents per mes
sage for coo or less messages a year, grad
ually declining to 5h cents per message
for 1900 messages a year The new scale
runs from cents to ~ cents per mes
sage In corresponding numbers. an aver
age OF cents d call
The Atlantic company has not been able
10 secure a franchise from the city and
Is now seeking through the courts 70 utilize
n franchise granted twenty years ago for a
messenger service. The rates the new conf
pany offers ranges from 8 cents per mes
sage for 30 to S1A cents per message for
4.Soo or more per year. The fiat rate leased
on calls ranges from $50 for 600 calls, to
S135 for $500 calls per year.
