Il cannot tell you how they do it.
They do not know themselves, and no
man can teach another. 1t is born, like
all art. The scales are very few, and
hard to get, and we pay them hand
some wages. But they are as difficult
to manage as the great tenors of grand
opera and as sensitive as women. Like
all artists, they are forever squabbling
among themselves about little things,
and, as you may guess, jealousy is
their besetting evil.
But | have not yet explained what
the scale does. When a piano is all
strung and tuned and ready to leave the
factory the scale sits down to*it all
alone and screws it to pitch His ear
is so true, his hand so fine, and his
sense of the reasons for sound is so
delicate and exquisite that when he
has finished his work that which was a
mere box containing strings has become

to make it sing. The scale has given

The Atlanta Constitution looks upon
a reaction from hysteria as the sure fore
runner of better times. If the South
wants capital to assist in the develop
ment of Southern resources, it says,
there is only one way to get it, and that
is "by letting the world know beyond
bubble or peradventure that the South
is safe and profitable field for the in
vestment of capital; that we have done
with hysteria and injustice and reckless
and destructive agitation; that we have
turned our faces to the light, absolute
ly, resolutely, beyond the hazard of a
return to folly" The dawn of reason is
shining in Georgia when its leading
newspaper talks like that.

On the question of the probable date
Of exhaustion Of the mineral resources
of the United States Andrew Carnegie,
ironmaster, is not so good an authority
as 9. +. Van Hise, geologist The
question hinges on probabilities, and the
probability as to further discoveries of
coal and iron and other mineral wealth
is something concerning which the geoi-
ogist can give expert testimony, while
the ironmaster can only guess. 1t is
pleasant to observe that Prof. Van Hise
thinks natures resources will last much
longer than the Carnegie estimate.

Last year nearly 400 lives were lost
by drowning in the United States. In
numerous instances where people have
fallen into the water they have persisted
in full view of others anxious TO save
them but without adequate means. The
Volunteer Life Saving Association, or.
ganized in this city. is composed of
yachtsmen. hunters, fishermen and all
interested in sports ON the inland lakes
and rivers, and has for it's object the
prevention Of this waste of life. To this
end its members are pledged to equip
their boats with at least one life buoy
and line to be carried at all times. Ii
would seem that organization with this
definite programme might exert wide
influence in favor of precautions which
are too often neglected but which If
generally observed would make for in
creased safety on the water.
