A Condemnation of Weeds
New Orleans Picayuns.-

Mayor BehTman has sent to the
Council d message recommending the
passage of an ordinance requiring
owners of vacant property to cut
down and remove the rank over
growth of weeds growing on most OF
them The suggestion is a good one,
and ought to be adopted; indeed, il
is strange that there is no ordinance
already on the subject. The matter
was discussed some time ago, but
no action was taken, apparently on
the ground that the city ought not to
interfere too much wita the property
owner But, as a matter of fact. ii is
the special duty of the city to hook
after the health and comfort of it's
people and TO sbate nuisances. The
city is constantly inspecting private
property to see that il is kept in sani-
tary condition and is not an injury
and nuisance to the public The
clSteTnS are required TO he screened
so as not to become mosquito facto-

his lot to the grade of the street and
see that it drains properIy-unfortu-
nately this ordinance is not enforced

While Mr.. Lewis does not vouch

thority for the enormous republican

1t will be noted that only once has
the democratic campaign fund exceed
ed the republican fund. and that was
in 1884 when Cleveland was elected
the first time. and in 1892 When he was
elected the second time it was nearly
a. large.
Excessive campaign funds were not
the order. however, until 1896, when
Mark Hanna raised the enormous sum
of sH,000,0o0 for the purpose of beat
ing Bryan and then only accomplish
ed the feat by a small margin. There
is absolutely no question but that it
was money that beat Bryan in 1896.
The democratic party does not want

and need q fund sufficient to enable
it to reach the voter with its speakers.

Atlanta have three papers each, but it

YOU CRAVE FAME?
NURSE THAT VOICE.

During a recent performance of the
Metropolitan Opera Co.. well-known
fashionable late-comer drew to herself
much attention. She was so graceful
in her manner and SO beautifully at
tired that for a moment even the
famous Caruso was eclipsed. The
stirring beauty of his voice, however,
quickly cast its spell again. 1t was
at the close of the first act and Caru-
SO had just finished an enhancing
theme when a harsh, nasal voice
broke the silence. "Oh, John, I wish
you could sing like that" So beau
tiful a wish but so discordant a tone
caused all eyes to turn in that direc-
ton The unmusical voice belonged
to tho beautiful lady. Her fashion
circle was visibly disappointed-and
she probably wondered why her social
though she possessed all other assets
necessary for social supremacy she
lacked that most important personal
asset-a pleasing voice.
II Nordica sang in her throat, the
clearness of her beautiful voice would
disappear. She produces her tones
right on the lips. If you watch her
lips move, you will see that she grips
the tone Vibrations with them. II
the tone formed in the throat is
driven to the outside air through the
flesh of the neck and face, we rob the
voice of its natural power. Nordica
says that every tone must be pro-
duced right out on the very edge of
the lips. The throat is for another pur-
pose. In the throat there are two
little cords that vibrate the breath.
When this vibrated breath reaches the
lips. they form it into sound. If you
force the throat to perform wrong
duty, you hamper 1t in performing
the right one. Brilliant tone is pos
sible only when the tone wave is SO
formed that 1t can move on without
obstruction.

the tongue are amply sufficient to

energy by so much. Therefore, it
is that you see the last marble NOV
ing sbOWer than the first. So 1t is
with the particles Of air that push
along the sound wave. The energy
of the sound wave must finally die
out and the sound cease at a certain
distance. Were this not so. the chirp
of a bird could be heard around the
world.
Air carries sound by forming itself
in wave motion. Throw a pebble in
a placid pool of water-try 1t In your
basin at home-and you will see little
ripples form In even, circular motion.
The ripple near the edge of the pool
is much shallower than the one in the
center. II the pool is large enough
the wave motion may disappear before
1t reaches the edge, because 1t takes
a certain amount of energy to set so
much water in motion. Wave motion
in water illustrates wave motion in
air. only in air the waves travel spher-
ically, l. e., about you on all sides. II
the air did not move specifically, your
listener would have to stand at GER
tain angles in order to hear You. But
you know that no matter where your
listener stands. in any radius about
you, he can hear what you say. You
know now how the air carries sound.
If you should try to make noise in
a vacuum. You would find that you
could make no sound. Therefore, tone
after all Is nothing but an air wave
that travels to all sides.
The difficulty in singing and speak
ing arises when we try to make air
waves carry sound a great distance.
1t is this difficulty that bars the way
to success for most singers and speak
ers. The unsuccessful singer or speak
er finds that the energy of his tones
dies out too quickly to make those
farthest away hear him. How to form
sound waves with enough energy to
make them reach the farthest listener
IS secret which many public singers
and speakers would like to know.
