Noises.

Did you ever eat an egg without salt?
If so, you know the effect of a series OF
moving pictures without the proper noise
effect. The spectator may not know
what is wrong. but when he sees trains
rushing along, horses passing, guns being
fired and many other things without any
sound, he begins to wonder if he has lost
his hearing entirely. The Motion Picture
Co Of Washington D. c., carries besides
its immense stock of films, several hun
dred pounds of material for noise effects.
During the exhibits, all noises which it is
possible to initiate are produced true to
life. The patter of hoofs, the roar and
shrek Of the trains. the clang Of the gong,
the song Of the birds. etc, accompany and
form part Of the fe-like exhibitions.

THE decrease in the public debt Of the
United States 10 the amount Of over eight
and half million dollars during the
month Of May, is an indication Of the con-
tlnued increase Of receipts over expendi-
ture Notwithstanding the several lines Of
enormous outlay recently entered upon.
The entire public debt Of the United
States is now less than the appropriations
Of recent single sessions Of the national
congress, and is far less than that Of any

emphatically that he made the state

livering the customary salutation he
leaned over and took chunk out OF her

But he repealed the operation on the
evening OF July after he had been out

enjoyed the play and at the same time
bit her right ear. This time she kicked,
but he only leaned over and chewed the
other ear.
