MUslC'S MIGHTY REALM.

versal Speech.


"In the mighty realm Of music there
IL but one single speech" Music forms
the universal language which, when all
other languages were COMPOUNDED, the
confusion OF Babel left unconfounded.
The white man and the black man, the
red man and the yellow man, can sing
together, however difficult they may
find 1t to be to talk to each other. And
both sexes and all ages may thus ex-
press their emotions simultaneously,
FOR In virtue of the power Of the ear to
distinguish side by side those differing
but co~ncordant notes which make up
harmony there Is not only room, but
demand. for all the qualities Of voice
which childhood, adolescence, maturity
and old age supply. Thus a love Of
music Is much more frequent than a
love Of painting or sculpture, and you
win reach the hearts and touch the
feelings Of the majority OF mankind
mor quickly by singing them a song
than by showing them a picture. In

what a AHurricane, L..

Hurricane is the old Spanish name
for a West Indies cyclone, but it is
used by modern m~eteorologists to des-
ignate a long continued wind of ex-
IRENE violence. In Beaumont's scale
the different winds are classed as
flight" gentle" fresh" and strong
breezes. The next is a ''stiff'' breeze,
then a strong wind and then we
strike the gales" The gales" run
through three or four classes, the last
merging into the hurricane"

Creatures That Go For Extended Pc
RODS without Drinking.

Other creatures than the camel are
able to get along for extended periods
without drinking. Sheep in the south
western deserts 90 for forty to sixty
days in winter without drink, grazing
on the green, ~succulent vegetation of
that season. Peccaries in the desert of
Sonora live in little dry hills where
there is no natural water for long peri
dds. They cannot possibly find water
In fact, for months at a time. b only
moisture tlley can obtain M from
roots and the fruits of cacti, but the
most extraordinary case is that of the
pocket mouse, one of the common ro-
dents of the desert. This little creature,
by the way, has a genuine fur lined
pocket on the outside of its cheek.
When it is hungry it takes food from
this pocket with it's paw, just Gs a man
would pull a ham sandwich from his
pocket. One of these mice has been
kept for three years with no other food
than the mixed bird seed of commerce.
During this period it had not a taste of
either water or green food. Other ex-
perimenters have found, in fact, that
these mice in captivity r fuse such
treats. not seeming to know that water
Is good to drink. The bird seed put be-
fore this mouse contained not more
than 10 per cent of moisture, which is
less than is necessary for digestion.
Stuff so dry as this cannot even be
swallowed until 1t is moistened by
saliva. Yet this remarkable mouse
gave nothing but his time to the inter
ests of science. He suffered nothing in
health or spirits during his captivity

FIVE hundred thousand coal miners
are out on a strike, and the greateft
suspension of coal mining in the his
tory of the United States is now on.
The reason for this strike, when
stripped of trimmings, is a desire on
the part of the mine owners to destroy
organized labor, and ON the part of
the miners a desire to perpetuate
their labor union. Both sides are I'M
reasonable to some extent, and both
have some good points to their argu-
ment. But the result is that the con
sumner of coal must pay the cost in
the end. However, there is still hope
for the people. 1t is given out from
Washington that the president says
there must be no suspension of in
dustries on account of the strike; that
coal must be delivered, strike or no
strike, constitution or no constitu-
ton. If this latter is true, we hope
the strike will continue until the
government must interfere and thus
break up the coal trust. The people
have been robbed long enough and
there is need of strenuous action, but
it takes long time to wake the people
up to the point where they can see
some things for themselves and have
the sand to ask their hired men in
congress to legislate in their interests.

Reunion association decided that this
years reunion should be held at Du

from it and new another location is
being sought There was a time
when nearly all of the larger places in
Southern Illinois were anxious 10
have this reunion, and though it cost
a city something to get it, 1t was
worth much more than it cost. 1t is
not that way now however and a
city which puts up the necessary
funds to get the reunion is always
afraid that it will not even get its
money back So many of the old sol
diers have died and so many of the
survivors are too far advanced in

cases as in that OF Cairo. these warn

Word was sent here that there was a

range a shooting, and would kill five
