Music is dead! II has been killed

Germany is getting more and more
demusicalized.-No aristocrat has ever
written music worth listening to, and
the reason England has no music is
that she has no bourgeoisie.

FISH THAT
ARE CANNIBALS
Can Swallow Other Fishes That Are
Many Times Their Bulk.

The waters adjacent to the coasts
of the United States contain some Of
the most extraordinary fishes to be
found anywhere in the world.
There is a fish able and willing to
swallow whole other fishes which are
from six to twelve times its superior
in bulk. This fish inhabits the deep
sea, living, It is supposed. at depth
of 81 800 fathoms.
In the latter half Of the last cen
fury three specimens-on of them be-
ing now in the national museum OF
chiasmodon niger, or black swallower,
the species referred to, were found,
in each instance with fish from six
to twelve times bulIkier than itself
in its stomach.
This fish has an elongated body of
nearly uniform thickness tc within 2
short distance of the TAIL into which
1t tapers slightly. Such is its appear
ance when hungry.
AS it swims around in the somDer
deep it espies fish many times Jar
ger than itself. Darling upon its prey,
1t seizes 1t by the tail and slowly but
surely climbs over it with its jaws,
first using one and then the other.
Gradually the prey is taken in, the
stomach and integuments Of the swal-
lower stretching out, and at last the
entire fish is passed through the
mouth and into the stomach and the
disintended belly apears as a great
bag, projecting far out backward and
forward, over which is the swallower.
looking very small in comparison
The walls Of the stomach and belly
become SO stretched they are trans
parents and the species Of the fish
within can be discerned. But in swal-
owing such large prey the captor

AMERICA IS APPROACHING

We are rapidly approaching the age
Of cOnerete The life OF the forests is

region win be practically exhausted.
Already Europe has met the timber
famine and the high price OF steel
and iron By building its cities Of con-
crete. The modern parts OF Milan.
Berlin. Budapest and other cities
growing at a tremendous rate are be-
ing constructed Of concrete.
One of the finest bridges in the Uni
ted States has just been completed at
great cost across the Rock Greek ra-
vine at the national capital. There
is not bit of iron in the whole gigan-
tic structure. Il was constructed Of
concrete blocks, and these were made
out of gravel gathered from the bed
Of the gorge. -
A new machine for the making of
these building blocks of concrete has
just been perfected which will enable
three men to turn out six hundred
block Of almost any desired size in a
day. A downward motion of the
press applies sixty thousand pounds
pressure to the moist material.
The Importance Of the use OF con-

STARR NOT THE STAR

Trap Door.
BURGLAR IS CAUGHT
Thrilling Midnight Act Per
formed for Benefit Of
Detective.

A rather easy method of obtaining
living which Harvey v. Starr has
been enjoying for some weeks past came
to an abrupt end early yesterday morn
ing when Detective Dorman coralled
him in the saloon of Jacob Steinmeyer
at Olive and wooster streets. Starr is
man 55 years Of age, and was cap

SITTER complaint by the proprietor that
he had in some mysterious manner that
was beyond him been losing regularly
money and wares during the night sea-
son.
Steinmeyer expressed a belief that
the burglar must have a key to the
saloon, as there was never any trace Of
anything having been disturbed and no
broken lights of glass appeared In the
place. Detective Dorman went to the
saloon after the closing hour Saturday
night and placed himself in hiding after
everyone had departed. Then he await
ed developments,
They were not slow in coming. With
in few feet Of where he was standing

peared cautiously pushing UP through

| entirely he stood facing the detective
| and only few feet away. One quick
movement and he was In the hands Of
the law
Starr was there in his stocking feet.
| When asked how he made his entrance
he said that he came in during the rush
hours and hid down cellar, whepe he
waited until every one was gonb and
then came out When told that he was
not telling the truth on this he refus-
| ed TO speak any further. Upon In ves-

trance was made through the cellar Of

Meeting door which had been nailed up.
This ne apparently had been doing
right along each night that he wanted

Besides money he tok at times bot
