Announcemen

Beginning July 4, or possibly before,
the Register will publish, in serial form,
from the advance sheets of Ellen Vol. II,
the chapters which demonstrate that the
sound uttered into the transmitting in
strument of telephone, is carried in
simultaneously through the wire, by the
electric current. and delivered into the
ear of the listener at the receiving instru
ment.-That this is the sound heard at
the telephone. and that there is,-can
be,-no other.
The Middlebury Register beginning
with the commencement Of the above
article on sound will be enlarged, and
include ii Scientific Department, to be
continued through the year, together
with other features enhancing the value
of the paper
OF course there will be a largely in
creased expense in publishing the paper,
and it will easily be doubled in value.
To all old subscribers, or new if living
in Addison County, the price of the
paper will be continued at 81 a year, if
paid strictly in advance. To all new
subscribers living within the State and
outside of Addison County $3.50 To all
new subscribers living outside of the
State 81 year.

The Popular Clothing House
MEETS REQUIREMENTS

If pure clothes law should be
passed and pure clothes inspectors APP
pointed by the government, special
honorable mention would be given to
the brands we sell. The reputation of
our goods would be immensely in
creased. Everyone would want to
buy of US.
Moreover, if such laws required the
strictest sanitary precautions on the
part of the makers, and prescribed
high standard of quality for Innings and
cloths, and called for a certain grade
of tailoring for garments at each price,
from the lowest to the highest, we
would be found to exceed require
ments in every particular.

THE AMERICAN HORSE.

And will therefore feel at liberty to
call upon all Americans for information
upon certain very famous horses that
from time to time we shall name, whose
lines of breeding are still more or less
obscure.
And in all these cases first we will
give the facts which we have ourselves
discovered, together with such as Mr..
Wallace's records, and those which may
have come to us from other sources.
We believe that we can make this
department so interesting and instruc-
tive that it will be an object for every
horse breeder of one or many horses,
and indeed every lover of the horse to
subscribe for the Register the coming
year
We will add that there will certainly
be enough of valuable matter in this
department to warrant preservation of
the papers for future reference.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1907-05-03

The Register will at the same time
start Horse Department, This it does
because we find that it will be absolutely
necessary to have some paper, intelligent
in such matters, to represent the breed
ing of the Morgan horse throughout the
country, and also one that is close in
touch with the Government Farm at
Weybridge, VT, where very carefully
selected Morgans are being bred.
But whilst the Register will aim es-
pecially to report progress.in the breed
ing of the Morgan horse, which it will be
especially able to do, as the registration
of Morgan horses,-now getting to be
quite large, very fair second to that of
the Trotting Register, is made at this
office, it will also be able to give very
valuable information of the history and
breeding of famous American horses of
all the more distinguished families
For it will have at command, to draw
from, the accumulated information of
many years, which is now being care
fully edited and will appear later in five
volumes of about 1900 pages. each, under
the title of American Stallion Register.

conversant with the history and breed.

There's nothing so bad for a Cough
as Coughing" Coughing is like scratch
ing wonnd; so long as it is done, it
will not heal. When tempted to Cough,
draw long breath through the nostrils;
hold it until it warns the air cells. The
nitrogen thus refined, allays the desire
to cough and gives the throat and lungs
a chance to heal. The use of Seventy
seven" will aid nature in her efforts to
recuperate.

The statement in the Register OF March

the head of the world in Science For it
sweeps out the undulatory theories,

There is hardly question but that
the errors of science delayed the advent
of the telephone quite a number of
years.

the voice, with proper machinery, will
make graphophone record,-but they
will not make diafram talk.
In any accurate sense of the word,
sound will not make diafram vibrate.
1t will, however make it move. The
graphophone record proves this in both
directions. For it is made by the move
ment of the diafram, caused by sound,
and it is of very irregular dimension,
proving that sounds vary in their move
ment.
Again these movements vibrations or
otherwise) can only be repeated by the
electric current with make and break
The statements of science that they are
caused by alternating or varying cur
rents, being another of the thousands of
things known by scientists which are
not so. Because of the air wave theory
of sound, Mr. Bourseul supposed that
sounds were made by a vibrating dia-
fran. Because of that blunder in
science, the experiment, which was af-
forwards thoroughly tried, was prac-
tically failure. The make and break of
the current moved the diafram, Just
as it does with a telegraph, through
the magnet, causing those signals which
produce the telegraphic alphabet, and
through which telegraphing is made in
telligible And this could not be done
without the make and break, but the dia-
fran could not talk, and therefore, so far
as the repeating of words was concerned,
+ it was of no use to make it vibrate.
And yet the experiment was almost
success. The make and break, sug-
gested by the scientific theory Of sound,
alone prevented the complete reaiza-
| ton of the transmission of speech in
stantly from one locality to another,
hundreds or thousands of miles distant.
For the man speaking into the telephone
could talk, and all that was necessary
in order that one speaking at Vienna
should be heard at Paris, was that his
words could be carried there whilst they
| continued TO exist. Ana tnere was an
agent harnessed, and the track ready for
it, that was abundantly able to carry these
words instantaneously from Vienna tC
Paris, or between any other two distant
localities. The make and break spoilt
the experiment, for the current of cleo
tricity could not be spared, not even fol
a moment, with any successful result
All that was wanted was to give al
opportunity for the particles of matter
which represented sound, to get into I
continued current. The arrangement
were made for them to get out at tn
other end.
Guided by the ignorance of science, NJ
one thought to give them this opportu
nifty, and it was years after before, b,
accident, Mr.. Bell, an American, dis
covered that it was the make and breal
which was fatal to the experiment

light upon important but hitherto OBJ
scure pedigrees.
To illustrate this, we received last week
letter from a gentleman in Ontario,
making inquiries and giving certain in
formation, in which he stated that the
dam of Clear Grit, by imported Lapadist,
an Ontario. Canada horse, quite noted
as the sire of speed, was got by a Morgan
horse called Cock of the Rock.
( We already knew that the dam of
Clear Grit was 10y horse called Cock
of the Rock, having got that informa-
ton from gentleman in Little York,
Ont. in a letter dated Feb. :, 1891. who
gave us description of both dam and
grandam, stating that the dam was by
a horse called Cock of the Rock brown,
no white on him, an American horse
brought when quite young to Canada,
about 1912, by j. NJ. Davis, who lived
on Young Street near Toronto, but he
did not know breeder or breeding of
this Cock of the Rock We have now
written for further information of this
horse, Cock of the Rock, but it would
seem very probable, as we had thought
all the time might be true, that this
Ontario Cock of the Rock, a young horse
when brought into Ontario about 1912,
was a son of Cock of the Rock by Sher-
man Morgan, that as we know was kept
at Norwich and New Berlin, Oneida
County, y. V, in 1885, doing a large
business there: it being but a compara-
lively short distance from Norwich to the
province of Ontario and the dates agree
ing.
1t will be remembered by many that
this stallion, Cock of the Rock by Sher-
man Morgan, was sire of Coburn's Amer
lean Star the sire of Seely's American
Star, sire of the dam of Dexter, 2:174,
the fastest of Hambletonian's get, and
the dams of many other famous trotters
and sires of trotters. 1t was also claimed
at the time by many i'll central New
York that he was the sire of One Eyed
Kentucky Hunter.
Another such horse that we think of at
this moment is Gov. Sprague, whose blood
enters into the pedigree of the very phe'
nomenal speed sire, Mckinney, (who we
believe ranks first as a sire of extreme
speed We have gathered quite good
deal of information on this pedigree but
there should be a good deal more got
especially of the breeding of the dams OF
Rhode Island the sire of Gov. Sprague
1t is a pedigree made up in the usua
manner of many of the fastest, com
bining the Thoroughbred, the Morgan
and the Messenger strains.
, As we are working from such broad
basis on this horse history, we hav,
, thought best to head this department:
