An Earthquake In Persia.

Professor Vambury, the Hungarian
orientalist was in Shiraz, Persia, at
the time of one Of it's devastating earth
quakes. The shock was terrible, throw
ing great houses about like shuttle
cocks and splitting the hills beyond the
town. When the very earth seemed in
process of disruption and men and wo
men were weeping and tearing them
selves In agonies Of fear two mad ia
matte priests stalked through the tot
tering city crying aloud that the for
eigners sojournlng in the place had
brought on the calamity. And the peo-
pie took up the cry The Frengis are
unclean.' and made rush for the
house i'm which the professor had been
staying. Only the entire collapse of

tack and enabled him to make his cs

the state as to candidates for United
States senator and for president He
said further that there should be suffi-
eiesst time between the issuance of the
call and the primary elections to allow
Of a thorough public discussion of the
questions involved.
This was considered as equivalent to
a challenge to the Taftites to public
debate. Later the statement was made
from Washington that this challenge
on the part of Foraker was made only
after the failure of plan for an agree
ment between the forces of Taft and
Foraker by which the former was to
have the state delegates to the presi-
Dental convention, provided Foraker
should be allowed to remain In control
Of the state political machinery and his
reelection to the United States senate
not to be opposed. These overtures, 1t
was said. were rejected by Secretary
Taft.
Hearst Recount Bill Passed.
The New York assembly passed the
bill for recount of the votes IN the
New York city mayoralty election OF
1905 by vote of 11S to 81, this meas
ure having been demanded by the de-
feated candidate, w. X. Hearst, and
Endorsed by Governor Hughes. The
bill is expected to pass the senate.
Carnegie Defends Administration.
After lunching with the president at
Washington Andrew Carnegie gave out
an interview In which he said that the
president was the best friend the rail-
roads had. He meant by this that If
the railroads did not accept the mod
crate measures advocated by the adj
ministration they might be confronted
with a much more radical administra-
ton.
+ In speech at the dinner of the mill
tary telegraph corps in New York on
March % Mr.. Carnegie said he would
drive all stock gamblers out Of bust
ness If he could. AS a business man
he said he had never made dollar by
gambling with stock and that he would
as soon gamble with cards. He thought
1t was time for the business men to
rise and decline to recognize those
who make money and give no value
for It, He said he was born to pow
erty, but would not exchange with the
richest millionaire's son. that ever
breathed He said he had lived on
both sides and that there was very lit
tie that wealth could add to human
happiness; the millionaires who laugh
ed were rare.

While the keyboard may be In the

Is properly located In the basement.
Here Is q series of IA electric alterna-
tors, each giving current of a certain
frequency. When these currents are
sent into the telephone receiver they
cause the diaphragm to give out mu-
steal note Of pitch corresponding to
the number of alterations.
The pressing of a key closes a mag
netic circuit on the switchboard and
causes a current from one or more
alternators to pass over the wire. This
In turn causes the diaphragm of the
telephone receiver to vibrate In unison
with the ground tone of the desired
musical note. Says the News: There
are two keyboards equipped with IA
keys each, enabling two musicians to
play simultaneously and together to
have control of over twenty keys at
any one time.

duced are intended to be reproductions
of the wood wind instruments-the
