VIOLIN PLAYED BY MACHINERY

An automatic virtuosO is the me-
chanical violin player, the marvellous
result of many years experimentation.
There is the orthodox violin with the
familiar strings But instead of the
bow and fingers there is series of
revolving disks for the former and an
elaborate array of stops, which, acting
as fingers, depress the strings at the
desired points to give the requisite
musical tone, operated by electricity,
the necessary energy being furnished
by small motor. All the peculiar
effects incidental to the instrument are
perfectly produced, including those
which tax the skilled player to the ut
most, and in perfect purity and tone.
Thirds, fourths, oetaves and tenths are
produced as easily as single notes, and
every phase of expression is said to be
faithfully rendered. The most intricate
works of leading opponents of violin
playing and composers are given with
ease and unerring accuracy, while many
accomplishments beyond the possibili-
ties of the virtuoso are secured, such
as the playing of four chords simulta-
neously, giving the resemblance of a
quartet.-Chicago Tribune.

MILK.

Dr. John S. Fulton of Washington
the secretary of the international con
gress of tuberculosis, was praised the
other day by milk inspector.
CDR. Fulton has done many things,
said the man, ''to reduce tuberculosis
and he will get full credit at the meet
ing of the tuberculosis congress next
month. One of the best things he has
done is in the publication of our milk
Thanks largely to his interest, Amer
leans get purer milk than they used to.
81 once heard DR.. Fulton tell a milk
story in the midst of an address on
milk
''He said that a city man took a
house in the country for the summer.
He sought out farmer at once, looked
over the cows on the farm, found them
to his liking, and said:
Z" My servant will come to you every
morning for a quart of milk
- All right, said the farmer, 1t
viii be cents
% Bur it must he pure milk, mind, ,
said the city man, absolutely pure.
81 In that case it will cost you 10
cents.
90 Very good. And you will milk the
quart from the cow in my servant g
presence?'
q .Yes-for Is cents.

HIS CORRECTION.
The American Knew a Little About
Shakespeare and English.

The American Knew a Little About
Shakespeare and English.
An English literary man who visited
this country some years ago to lecture
frankly declared that he came not ex-
pecting to find accurate scholarship
among Americans. especially on pure
~ literary subjects, adding affably:
You have been too busy and useful
a nation in practical matters to give
much time to the arts and graces Of
learning"
During the dinner at which he made
this remark he criticised Shakespeare,
sharply declaring that his metaphors
often were absurd. "as, for example,"
he said, Sleep that knits up the raw
eled sleave of care How ridiculous to
to figure sleep as knitting up a torn
sleeve of coatT
A young American sitting near him
said modestly: II think the word is
not sleeve. but sleave, the thin fluff of
a damaged web. 1t is a technical ex-
preston among weavers."
"In the United States probablyw re-
torted the critic irritably. Shakespeare
never could have heard it. He meant
sleeve"
II believe" persisted the American
gently. ''the word is printed sleave in
all the old editions. 1t is not an Ameri-
can word, but has been used for CEN
turtles by weavers in Scotland and the
north of England"
The visitor frowned and then with
English frankness said, laughing:
Thank you. ! was mistaken. Per-
haps | am mistaken about other
things and will be corrected before I
leave your shores"

Lofty Tibet.

Although the mystery concerning
Tibet has been mostly dissipated as a
result Of the English invasion, the GU
rious nature of that country continues
to excite great interest. Think of an
inhabited land covering between 7OO,-
600 and 100000 square miles and hav-
ing a mean elevation exceeding 16,4OO
feet. which is considerably higher
than Mont Blanc! The loftiest peaks
reach an altitude of about $4,000 feet,
while the deepest valleys. in the high
er parts Of the plateau. do not descend
below 14,400 feet. which Is higher
than Pixies peak. Toward the south
the valleys sink lower. and rice and
fruit are cultivated up to 1850 feet.
Here the most important centers of
population are found-Lassa. Shigatse
and Gyangtze.-Youth's Companion.

The Value Of Monev

"Oh. yes" replied the millioned ma

to hear him try to beat down a justice

A DRAMATIC CLIMAX.
Effect Of One Woman's Pathetic Eyes
Upon Jury.

EUeCt OF Ouo woman Fa-nettc Eyes
Upon Jury.
James I. Brady, who was one OF
New York's greatest lawyers, was once
counsel for young woman in a case
involving an attempt to break will.
His client sat by his side. She was
a very beautiful young woman, whose
eyes seemed always to rivet the atten-
ton of those upon whom her glance
fell. There was a pathetic expression
which affected every one. She sat
watching the jury during the course of
the trial, and at last there was some
complaint that she was attempting by
means of her glances to excite the
sympathy of the jury.
Then Mr.. Brady arose and in one
OF the most touching and beautiful of
all the addresses he ever made in court
spoke of the blessings which every one
who had an appreciation of beauti-
full things and could see them enjoyed
and dwelt for some moments upon the
happy lot Of the jury who could see
the budding Of the fowers-it was
then springtime-and the charms of
nature. Then, suddenly turning to his
client. he said, THAT blessing is denied
my client, for. though she has eyes
which seem to look upon you, gentle
men. there is no vision in them. for
her sight has been taken from her."
She had been, in fact. the victim of
total paralysis Of the optic nerve.
which had not impaired the beauty of
her eyes, but had given to them that
singular pathetic expression which she
was thus falsely charged with en-
ploying that she might secure the SYM
pathies Of the jury.
