FRIDAY EVENING. OCT. IL. 1900.
Our Voices Deepen.

The primitive inhabitants OF Europe
were all tenors; their descendants OF
the present time are baritones, and tu-
ture generations will have semibass
voices. The voice has tendency to
deepen with age. The tenor of twenty
becomes the baritone Of twenty-eighf
and the bass of thirty-slx. The inferior
races have higher pitched voices than
the more cultured The negro has
higher voice than the white man.
Among white races. the fair complex
toned man has higher voice than his
darker skinner brother. The former Is
usually a baritone or tenor, the latter
a contralto or bass. II Is asserted that
tenors are usually Of slender build,
whereas BASES are stout, but there are
too many exceptions to such a rule for
Il to be reliable The same remark APP
plies to the statement that thoughtful
men have deep toned voices and vice
versa. The tones of voice are per-
ceptibly higher before than after q
meal, for which reason tenors are gen.
orally careful not to sing too soon after

This Peculiar world.

This Is peculiar world, says an ex-
change. One is struggling for justice
and another Is fleeing from II. one
man Is saving to build house and an
other is trying to sell his for less than
cost TO get rid OF It, One man Is spend
ing all the money he can make In tax
ing a girl to the theater and sending
her flowers. with the hope of making
her his wife, while his neighbor Is
spending what gold he has In getting a
divorce. One man escapes all the dis
eases that flesh is heir to and gets Kill
ed On railroad. Another escapes with
a scratch and dies with the whooplng
cough. One man stands off his credi-
tors and goes travelling while another
pays his debts and stays at home.

Henry Claws POpulnrlty.

The greatest popular idol in a po-
lItlcal sense the country has ever
known was Henry Clay. Only one
other American statesman ever pos
sessed the quality called personal mag
netism TO the same extent that he did,
and no other ever had more enthusi-
astlc personal following. He was an
aspirant for president from 1924 to
lS48, but never reached the goal. He
received 81 electoral votes In 1924, 40
In 1892 and 105 in 1914, but never
enough to elect him. Clay was elected
speaker of the house of representatives
on the first day of his term In that
body and was five times reelected. He
was twice elected United States sena-
tor, once unanimously by the Kentucky
legislature, and held several other high
offices. If there was ever popular
idol In the politics of this country, 1t
was Henry Clay. but he could not be
elected Observation-Disclosures Jour

The Old Plane Tree of Cos.

In the island OF Cos, in the Egian
sea, there stands, jealousy guarded, a
huge plane tree measuring nearly eight
cen yards In circumference. 1t Is sur
rounded by a pcdlum, or raised plat
form breast high. doubtless built to
support the trunk of the tree after IL
had become hollow and weak from age,
The lower branches are still well pre-
served and have been shored up by
pieces of antique columns. over the up
per ends Of which the branches have
grown like caps in consequence OF the
pressure Of their own weight. Close by
the tree Is q solid marble seat. which Is
said to be the chair of Hippocrates, the
father of medicine. and 1t Is supposed
that he taught the art Of healing from
that seat. He was born at Cos 46o b.
G. This gives a clew to the age OF the
celebrated plane tree, which must be
considerably more than 1000 years OLD.

THE FIRST AUTOMOBILE.
IL Was Made In 1872 and Was Work
ed by "a CoiIcd Spring.

"Thc first automobile said the
chauffeur, was made by Johann Hau.
stack of Nuremberg i'm 1872. Its mo-
tive power was neither oil. steam nor
electricity, but Il coiled spring.
The first steam automobile was built
in France by Cugnot in ITO. 1t is still
to be seen. It is one Of the star eXhib.
its of the Conservatoire des Arts ct
Meters in Paris. Steam carriages mod
cled after it were built by William
Murdoch James Watt, Nathan Read
and Richard Trevcthick. These are,
most Of them, in museums in London
and Birmingham.
Several steam carriages piled for
hire on the streets Of London at the
beginning OF the nineteenth century,
but they were so slow. noisy and heavy
that the people did not take TO them.
"The first modern automobile was
built by Amadee Bollcc in 1878. BOlloc
exhibited his car i'm Vienna and in
Paris, and other men, as is always the
case, devised improvements on It. Au-
tomobiles, by about 1890. began TO ap-
pear in the jokes Of the day. They had
taken their place. But il was not until
the annual cup races began in France
in 1894 that the automobile became a
really popular institution" New Or
