An Invention to ItevOlutiOnize
 Music.

A new invention. is being per fected which if successful will revolutionize music. Music tea chers and musical prodigies will be far more scarce. Dr. Thad. deus Cahill of Hollyhoke, Mass, is working to perfect an inven tion to distribute music through telephones by means of electric ity. He is establishing a plant in New York; this will accommo. date 1000 instruments and will send the notes forth by this means to the homes of the sub scribers. The invention will do away with all the strings, reeds and other means devised by man to produce sound. They will be replaced by a battery which will transmit musical, electrical way es, and these will be adjusted to as many different vibrations as the strings on a piano would be. To be sure the piano key board will be necessary to produce this music. The pressing of the keys will operate a switch that will close the circuit leading to the alternators adjusted to produce just the note the piano string would produce. The receiving telephone will have a megaphone devise that will send the music through room, restaurant or church.-Ex

Progress of the White Races

The success ofJapan over Rus sia, says Dr. $. l.. Gulick in his White Peril in the Far East" begins readjustment of the bal ance of power among the nations a readjustment which promises to halt the territorial expansion of white races and to check their racial pride" There are facts in the "march of the white man" which are interesting just at this period of the worlds history. An amazing increase of the white races has taken place dur ing the past two hundred years, According to the staticians, at the end of the seventeenth cen- tury they formed but a small fraction of the world total pop ulation, only about ten per cent, ant it was not certain that they could defend themselves against the remainder, at q time when the Turks were threatening Cen. tral Europe, and when Africa was dominant m the Mediterra. mean. A century later they mum. bereI about 15O,OOO.OOO. To. day they comprise aboat a third of the entire population of the

globe, between four and five hum dred millions, and there does not seem to have been any correspon- ding increase of the dark races. It is estimated that before the present century ends they will number about a billion, more than half mankind. If this is so, what can prevent the ultimate white domination of Asia, as we'll as of America and Africa!

A Letter Delivered After
 22 Years.

Topeka, June Alt has taken twenty-two years for a letter to be sent from the Treasury de. partment in Washington to Cha mute. Kan, as was disclosed by John Purcell. master mechanic of the Santa Fe railway, today.
 A few days ago a mail car was sent to the Santa Fe shops here for repairs. It was decided that the car should have a general overhauling and among other things the interior lining was ripped out. Between that and the exterior part of the car was found a letter, bearing a post mark of June. 1884, from the Treasury department to a bank in Chanute. The letter was re- mailed.

United States Commerce

The foreign commerce of the United States for the fiscal year ending June 3Oth, 1905 exceeded in both imports and ndexports that of any proceeding year. The ag- gregateis $2, 2,636,O74,737. This exceeds the total of the proceed ing year by S4,12O,O95. The value of the imports is $1,117,- 513,O71. That of the exports is $1,51S.561,6 ,666. Europe pre- sents the largest foreign markets of the United States. taking more than million dollars worth of our exports, while all the other parts of the world take less than half a billion dollars worth. In Europe, Great Britain is our lar gest consumer. North America comes next to Europe in this matter, taking $267, ,465, ,OOO dol lars worth of our exports. Our chief trade in North America is with Canada. Next comes South America, but the amount of ex- ports from us is only $58, ,994,- 900 dollars worth. Argentenia comes first in South America. Our exports to Asia are about equal to those to South America, the figures being $57,773.OOO. Japan comes first in Asia, China next. The figures for Oceania and Africa are, respectively, $35,- 545, ,OOO and $3O,869.OOO. Our increasing trade with other parts of the world, together with the efforts making in Europe against American goods, has decreased the percentage of our exports to that continent so that whereas, prior to 1887, it was overeighty per cent, in 1905 it stood at 67.23 per cent.

'7IRIIEI COAL DEALERS lRE
PLEASED At COAL RATE
Competition Of N. & w. Gives
Them a New Source Of
Supply. @

There were no new Developments Iii the
coaf3rate situation on yesterday.
The officials of both the Chesapeake
and Ohio and the Norfolk and Western
declined to discuss the matter further
than to deny the rumor that is being
circulated to the effect that the combina-
ton which existed between the two sub
sidiary roads of the. Pennsylvania Rail-
read. by which Richmond and Newport
News was controlled by the Chesapeake
and Ohio, and Petersburg, Norfolk and
Portsmouth by the Norfolk and Western,
has been broke owing to the strength
E OF public approval and the activity OF
the State Corporation Commission.
a large coal dealer OF the city said
last night, 81 believe the story printed in
the rimes-Dispatch this morning, sets
forth exactly the conditions surrounding
the coal situation and the reasons OF the
publication of a level rate by 10th the
Chesapeake and Ohio. and the Norfolk
and Western. We think the Norfolk and
Western has treated us very badly in
the past and we are glad OF the new
rate. 49,
1t does not mean, that, we will secure
n lower rate. for the rate now or sl.CO
WAS the old rate published by the Chesa-
peake and Ohio. The Norfolk and West
ern has met that rate, and this is the
whole story. except that Richmond deal
ers now have two means Of securing
coal, where formerly they had only one.
~ do not expect to see any reduction
of the present rate, as it is q very low
one u.
The outcome of the present equality OF
rates means that Richmond Newport
News, Petersburg, Norfolk and Ports
mouth are now's securing coal at the
same rate, and are not compelled by ar
bitrary rates to purchase from but ono
