Music by ELECTRICITY.

One of the greatest wonders Of this
electric age is the telharmonium, purely
an electrical machine. vet with this in
vention any music can be produced. The
telharmonium must not be confused
with the telephone for the electrical
device does not reproduce music but
makes t. At the central station where
the apparatus and keyboard are located,
there is no sound save the whirring Of
electrical machinery, but hundred
miles away, over thousand slender
wires, all the music Of great orchestra
Is issuing from telephone receivers pro.
vided with small megaphone horns. The
music is sufficiently powerful to I'LL the

No matter how light the parts Of the

to lag slightly at the beginning Of the

BAD YEAR FOR SUMNER RESORTS.

BAD YEAR FOR SUMMER RESORTS.
II has been a bad year for the summer
resorts and amusement parks because OF
visitations Of FIRE. Coney Island and
Revere Beach, among the larger amuse.
ment places, have suffered severely.
Beaches on Long Island and in that Vi
cinty have been partially deyoured. And
the mountains have not been entirely
free from the terrible visitation. Now
Old Orchard Beach, one of the veteran
watering points, gets a whitening blow
from the fiery element. In width of
scope and arreaehing consequence, this
fire at the popular Maine resort on
Thursday night was much more serious
than any yet sustained the present sum
mer. The great portion Of the territory
is swept over and the structures RACED
to the ground Probably the estimates
of 100000 will scarcely cover the total
loss. In conhagration Of such magni-
tude, it is extremely fortunate that only

cause. Another reason for congratula-
ton is that the visitation of fire came
very near the end Of the season. To be
sure, the hotels there still housed large
crowds Of summer peolpe, but the season
drops off abruptly about the first Of
September, and that date is only two
weeks away. Had the fire come earlier
in the season, say the first of July, It
would have cut of vast income to the
entertainers, whose golden harvest is at
that time. So taken all in all, Thurs
days fire, in spite Of its waste Of money,
had its extremely fortunate features.

The Fairest Scene.

We suffer ills that we may gaze
On wondrous scenes in other lands I;
The lofty peak that, wreathed in haze,
Our wonder and delight commands !;
The STORED valley with its vines,
The battered walls, the columns vast,
The frowning fortresses, the shrines
And buried cities OF the past;
But far more more splendid and more
fair
Than any snowy peak may be,
And more inspiring than the rare
Old ruins lying Ger the sea,
Are those rich fields all green and gold
That lie so near and spread so far,
Wherein at harvest time is told
How great our country's blessing are.
