Examples of Its Wonderful Power
and Penetration.


The wonderful force cf vibration Is
recognized in all its power by few
architects and builders. 1t would
Nmuse them If they were told that the
most solidly built of their walls would
be injured by the continuous scraplng
of a bow across a violin. OF course 1t
would take years Of playing TO loosen
masonry and render iron brittle, but
there are facts on record which show
that such result has occurred. On
first class battleship a man may feel
the vibrations of a violin though he
NAV not he able to hear the music. II
is the regularity Of the vibrations
which tells. The player is not affected
by them, for he is a flexible objectsand
can give way to motion.
Every one knows that a squad OF
soldiers or any body Of marching men
break step in crossing a bridge, no
matter what its size and strength may
be. for none could withstand the vibra-
tions of this concerted action. Even
the tread of dog may make bridge
shake because of the regularity Of the
vibration, so that on many OF the big
suspension bridges dogs are not al
lowed unless carried in the arms Of
their owners
A good Illustration OF the power Of
vibration can be found in the Green
wich observatory. 1t stands on the top
of hill on whose slopes hundreds or
children play on fine evenings. Their
favGrite play is TO join hands at the
top and dash headlong to the bottom.
where they fall in a heap. This starts
! the vibration of the hill to such nn ex-
tent that the scientists of the observa-
! tory are unable to carry on their OBJ
servations, which depend upon the mo-
! tionless state of a tray of mercury,
The solid hill is in such state of ire
NOR that the vibrations continue till
long past midnight, when the children
who have caused It have been asleeI
for hours
A still more wonderful Illustration OF
vibration Is In the human throat. Sin
ty vibrations per second is the isas'
number by means Of which O SOUND
can be produced. This IN q sound psv
er used In speaking but B found Il
mems voices in an extremely low reg
lister. The highest sound produced b.
the human voice-that In, Il In altisafmt
is caused by 1,o24 vibrations per sec
ond. This, too Is exceptional, beini
only obtainable ir the highly cultivated
female or boy voices.
It is simply the vocal chords whicl
vibrate. not the throat In the lowe
ncr"s The whole length and thickness
Of the vocal chords are used the thil
edges being employed for the highes
ones. Thus in speaking for a minut
or two there Is sufficient vibration en-
gendered in the throat were Its wall
of solid nature instead Of soft an,
flexible, to shatter and destroy 1t. Ey
cry minute we speak the vocal chord

The ChimDanzee.

Liberia is the home of the chimpan-
zee. Of the beautiful monkey known
as Dandy Jack, Of the water chew
rotains and such strange beasts as the
mauuee ana tiIc aruIudIIo. Tic GLfLLi-
panZee is said to bear a near relation
to man, and people who do not enter
tain that view will be able to gauge
the sagacity of the animal from the
following interesting anecdote: II saw
n young female chimpanZee from the
Cavalla river in the possession Of the
German consul at Cape Palmas. 1t
would have been difficult to meet
with a more human creature not ac-
tually of the genus homo. This chin
panzee lived in her owners house as
a child might have done, with a negro
nurse to look after her She was gen.
orally allowed complete liberty and
did not abuse this freedom by break
ing or spelling anything within her
reach and, strange to say, was won
derfully clean in her habits, virtue
too often wanting In chimpapzees.
Puppe would come when her name
was called and fling herself into her
masters arms. Puppies sympathy
with strangers was discriminating. II
she liked the person introduced she
would climb on his knee and tender
charming caresses, pushing out the
long lips In q pout to be kissed"

A quarter of mile beyond the turn
a farmer was guiding a drove OF hogs.
There were twelve in the drove, and
he was changing them from one lot tc
another. He knew that the Spanish
war had ended and that the country
was at peace and he was humming
hymn, and the hogs were grunting
grunts of satisfaction when that auto
came bowling down upon them. 1t

The hog episode was scarcely two
minutes old when a young man in a
buggy appeared mile ahead. He was
u young man with red cheeks and a
marble brow, who was driving to the
city to invest in green goods. He held
up his hand as a sign that his horse
did not like autos. No good Then he
rose up in his buggy and waved his
arm. He was still waving when the
cloud of dust passed over him and left
him a wreck on the sands of time
Some day he may tell his grandchildren
that he was flung 200 feet high and
400 feet sideways, and he will not be
exaggerating much either.

was angry and was shaking bis hand

they should stay out until dark, and
the sun had not even set yet. After

took his clothes ana tied them in a

down ana ran to the road which led
to Rome. Ones name was Peter; the
other Michael Angelo. Both were poor

SALT RIVER.
IL Is Real Stream, Although Not a
Navigable One.

NaVigabIe One.
Salt river sacred to defeated candi-
dates, is real stream. While not
navigable, it is used every winter as an
ice harbor by the towboats which go
out of Pittsburg for the south.
Salt river empties into the Ohio
above twenty-five miles south Of Louis
vile. 1t is small stream, which flows
from the Kentucky hills to the great
water, and is as tortuous, as crooked
and as unpleasant to navigate as the
mind can imagine Yet it is navigated
for a short distance from It's mouth by
steamers Of light draft Flatboats and
RATS are fiOated down upon It's bosom.
Before the civil war it was an impor-
tant stream in the matter of bringing
Kentucky whisky down in the fiat
boats to point where they could be
unloaded to river steamer. Refrac-
tory slaves were generally assigned to
the task Of bringing these boats down,
as the work was arduous.
Salt river became n bugaboo among
the negroes, and 1t was from the I'M
pleasant character of the work on this
river that "a trip up Salt river" came
to be used in politics to express the
destination of a defeated candidate.
There Is not a river captain or pilot
in Pirtsburg wha.does not know Salt
river, and there are few who have not
sought shelter within its mouth when
the ice was running out Of the Ohio.
The salt name Is supposed TO have
come from the salt springs which fiow
into 1t at its source. 1t is also said the
name grew out of the fact that great
quantities Of salt produced in the Ken
tucky country are floated down this
stream.-Fuel

speaking Of exaggerations," said
traveller. reminds me of the pie bird
story Of the Breton farmer.
There was farmer in Brittany
who wished to tell visitor now his
farm had been overrun with pies. Pies,
you know. are large birds, black and
white, with long tails-a kind of crow.
The farmer said the pies devastated
his fields horribly. If he put up scare
crows. the birds tore them down. One
day his young son ran into the granite
farmhouse and shouted:
"'Oh, father, hundreds and hundreds
Of birds. The wheat is being all eaten
up
"The farmer loaded his gun. But
where was the shot? 1t couldn't be
found. He put in a few handfuls Of
tacks instead. Then he ran out. The
wheatfield was black and white, like a
checkerbcar,, with pies. The farmer
gave loud yell and the birds all flew
up into tall poplar. He fired, and.
10, cvcry bird was nailed fast TO the
tree They we're nailed fast. Their
Tapping wings filed the air with a
loud whir The farmer, amazed, stood
watching them. Then a strange thing
happened. The birds, with one grand
united effort. pulled up the huge tree
and f1s-- away with it"
