A HOG ORCHESTRA.
French Musician Made the Squealers
Sing a Tune.

French Musician Made the Squealers
Sing a Tune.
During the reign of Louis NJ. Of
France there was attached to his court
one Abbot de Baigne, man Of con-
siderable wit. The abbot was some
what musically inclined and delighted
the court with inventions of odd mt
steal instruments. One day the king,
after having enjoyed q hearty laugh
over one of these curious contrivances
and desiring to battle this musical
genius, commanded him to produce
harmonious sounds from the cries OF
hogs. This seemed an impossibility
to the king, and he prepared himself
to enjoy the discontinue of the abbot.
Much to his surprise, however, the alb
bot readily agreed to produce them.
All he required was a sum of money,
uDon receipt of which he declared he
would invent the most surprising thing
ever heard in the way Of musical atroc-
ity.
He secured the country and secured
q large number of hogs, trying their
voices as to pitch and quality, and
finally, having fully satisfied himself,
he arranged the animals in sort of
pavilion richly decorated. The day of
the trial arrived, and the king and his
court entered the pavilion prepared for
something, but greatly in doubt as to
the success of the abbot with the hogs.
However, there were the hogs, sure
enough, and, much to the surprise and
delight of the king, they commenced
to cry tremendously and in good tune,
rendering an air that was fairly rec,
ognized The abbot had arranged a
series of stops that were connected
with the hogs and upon pulling one OF
them out caused n spike to prick the
hog it connected with, making him
squeal his note. The rest was easy
for by pulling out the different stops
| he produced the tune.

ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRICITY.
Experiment Suggested by Franklin and
Performed by D'Alibard.

To Benjamin Franklin belongs the
merit of having perceived that Il direct
experiment was needed to prove what
entitled Opinions and Conjectures
Concerning the Properties and Effects
of the Electrical Matter Arising From
Experiments and Observations Made
at Philadelphia, 1749," the following
passage occurs:
"To determine the question whether
the clouds that contain lightning are
electrified or not l would propose an
experiment to be tried where it can be
done conveniently. On the top of some
high tower or steeple place kind Of
sentry box big enough to contain a
man and an electrical stand. From the
middle of the stand let an iron rod rise
and pass, bending out of the door and
then upright twenty feet or thirty
feet pointed very sharp at the end. II
the electrical stand be kept clean and
dry man standing on it when such
clouds are passing low might be cleo
trified and afford sparks, the rod
drawing fire to him from a cloud
IF any danger to the man should
be apprehended, though / think there
would be none let him stand ON the
floor of his box and now and then
bring near to the rod the loop of a
wire that has one end fastened to the
leads, he holding it by a wax handle,
so the sparks if the rod be electrified
will strike from the rod TO the wire
and not affect him"
The experiment suggested by Frank
lin was successfully performed in Mar
ly. France, by D'Alibard on May 10,
1852: in London by Canton in Spital
square on July 90, 1852, and by Wilson
in Chelmsford, Essex, on Aug. II of
the same year Franklin himself de-
scrihed having used q kite in Phila-
delphia in Il letter dated Oct. 10 with
out giving the date of his observations.
Rosenberger C'Geschichte der Physik. "
volume =, page 316J mentioned that 1t
was done in June.
Franklin's disbelief in the dangerous
character of the experiment must have
received severe shock when he heard
Of the death Of &. w Richman, who,
in the year 1853, was killed by an elec
trio discharge drawn from the clouds
by means Of kite.

Painting under glass may now be
preserved Indefinitely. Had the men of
old known this the pictures of Apelles
might still live in the first freshness of
their colors, and the work of Raphael
and Michael Angelo would look today
as it looked when it left the painters
hands. The method of preservation is
simple. The canvas is placed in a
vacuum. 1t is preserved, like fruit. 1t
is sealed up from all the destructive in
tluences of the atmosphere. Since
metal figures in the operation the can
vas might indeed be said to be canned.
There is no reason why paintings kept
in this manner in Il vacuum should not
endure indefinitely.

PRAYERS BEFORE BATTLE.
Curious lnvocations by Famous His
torical Personaees.

torlcai SerSonageS.
One of the earliest records in his
tory of prayer before battle is that
of Childeric, king of Gaul, pagan,
who before going into battle at Nuel-
pich, some 400 years after Christ,
prayed to the God of the Christians to
help him to victory. His foe was At
tia. king of the Huns, and Childeric
vowed if God would give him the vic
tory he would embrace the Christian
faith
The prayer of n Hungarian officer
before one of the battles fought for the
independence of Hungary in 1910 was
as follows: II will not ask thee, Lord
to help us, and | know thou wilt not
help the Austrians, but if thou wilt sit
on yonder hill thou shalt not be asham-
ed of thy children" This was the
prayer of the Fighting Bishop" Les
lie before one of the battles fought in
Ireland: 30 God. for our unwOrthiness
we are not fit to claim thy help, but
If we are bad our enemies are worse
and If thou seest not meet to help us
we pray thee help them not, but stand
b thou neuter on this day and leave it to
the arm of the flesh"
The one offered before the battle Of
Edgehill by Sir Jacob Ashley was,
Thou knowest O Lord, that | shall
be very busy this day, and if | forget
thee forget thou not me-" and then the
command followed, "March on, boys!
AS King Edward advanced with his
columns to Bannockburn he remarked
to his aids, seeing the Scotch on their
knees: "See, they kneel The rebels
are asking pardon" DUmphraville
was heard to remark: Eyes. but 1t IS to
the King of kings. These men conquer
or die Oh this field"
Oliver Cromwell had public prayers
before going to battle on several occa-
sions, as, for instance, previous to the
battle of Dunbar. 1t Is curious fact
that the English prayer book contains
prayers, or at least one prayer, to be
said before going into action at sea,
while nothing is provided for use be
fore engagements on land.

A Rina Island.

Many coral reef Islands in the Pa
cific are in the form OF more or less
perfect rings, or oyals, inclosing la
goons. The ring island of Ninafou,
halfway between Fiji and Samoa, Is
not a coral reef, but "a volcanic ring In
closing a crater containing lake two
miles in diameter Toward the sea
the ring Is bordered with walls OF
black lava, and on the inner side these
break down In cliffs 200 to 800 feet In
height. An eruption In 1886 formed a
peninsula on the eastern side OF the
lake. While the ocean outside is trem
bling and laundering under a heavy
wind the lake remains smooth or Is
simply wrinkled with ripples.

The Candidates and the Issues.
The gnbernatorial campaign Is still
very Young; a great many things may
happen before the convention meets.
There Is probably plenty OF time for
the various candidate to tell the peo-
pie where they stand us to State
measures.
AT the risk, however, of being deem.
ed over insistent, the Intelligencer
again calls attention to this subject.
The candidate for office, who desires
public confidence. Is the man who
takes the public into his confidence.
Z The people OF West Virginia expect
the complete abolition OF the direct
State tax. "'G
They expect, more liberal provision
for our schools, and public institn.
tons, and expect the money to b,
raised by special license taxes.
: They expect II fair State primary
law to he enacted. .G.
They expect railroad commission.
empowered to perform within the
State, duties akin to those OF the inter.
state commerce commission.
7 Whenever the people OF the State
either in convention or primary have
had chance to pass upon these qnes.
tons, they have made their wishes
clearly known.
q Where do the various gubernatorial
candidate stand on these questions?
These are issues that can not be put
oil. They must be met, and met in
the right way.
The Republican party in West Vir-
sinia is responsible for:the wise dircc.
ton OF the State government--fo the
protection Of the interests of over one
million people. The State is rapidly
growing, and new and important ques.
tons have arisen. We have met and
solved some OF these questions. Let
us solve the others, and thereby prove
our right to exercise power.-1vheel-
