CHARGE Of CRUELTY
John Schroeder Is Alleged to
Have Cut Off Calls
HOOf.
THE CREATURE WAS HURT,

John Schroeder, a farmer living
southeast of the city, is under arrest
on the charge of cruelty to animals
His case will be given a hearing in
the city court tomorrow morning.
Prosecutor Jessup states that about
three eeks ago a two weeks old calf
belonging to Schroeder nearly sever
ed it's leg at the first joint on halter
rope. Schroeder, he says, cut the
hoof off with knife then placed axle
grease over the wound and turned the
little animal out in the field where it
has since remained.
Instead of killing the calf as he
should have done this man carelessly
ministered to it's wound then turned
1t out in a field to fatten so that he
could sell it," stated the prosecutor.

VIBRATION.
Designs In Sand Formed by the Pro-
duction of Sounds.

Designs In Sand Formed by the Pro-
duction of Sounds.
Did you ever hear that you can make
drawings by sound, or, rather, that the
sound vibrations will cause designs to
be made with the proper implements
at hand? Here is the way to do it:
At hardware store get piece Of
sheet brass one-eighth of an inch thick
and six inches square. The sheet
should be perfectly fat, or if it is not
it should be hammered so and the
edges rounded off. In the center of the
sheet cut hole three sixteenths of an
inch in diameter. If the sheet has
been hammered it must now be heated
in redhot stove and cooled slowly.
Now cut a six inch piece from a
broom handle and fix one end of it
firmly in a block of wood. The other
end you must round off and screw the
plate of brass ON it.
If you draw a violin bow over the
edge of the brass plate a tone will be
sounded. Practice this until the tone
is quite clear and strong. Now sprin-
kle some sand on the plate, and the
grains will dance about while the note
is sounded, showing that the plate is
in vibration.
Now put your finger on the edge of
the plate in the middle of one side. At
the corner of the side at an angle Of
forty-five degrees draw the bow, and
the sand will form in two lines at right
angles, starting from your finger This
is because the plate now vibrates in
parts, one part moving up, while the
other moves down, and the lines be-
tween these parts have no motion
Therefore the sand settles in them.
By drawing the bow at regular dis
tances from the finger or by touching
the plate in more than one places at a
time while some one else draws the
bow variety of sand figures will be
made.
If you will mix a little lycopodfum
powder with the sand when the plate
vibrates it will form curious little
heaps and whirlpools, which add to the
moving effect of the designs.
Instead of a brass plate you may use
one of glass six or eight inches square.
and its sharp edges you may smooth

pentine.
To prove to yourself that the plate is
still or almost so at the sand lines
make a cardboard cone about ten inch
es long, two and a half inches in diam
eter at it's larger end and small enough
at the other end to fit into rubber
tube, which should be about two feet
long. Let one person cause the plate
to vibrate, while another holds the
large end of the cone over the plate.
applying the rubber tube to the ear.
When the middle of the cone is exact
" over sand line scarcely any tone at
all will be heard, and the nearer the
cone is to the sand line the weaker the
sound will be, while it will be clear
and strong at the farthest points from
the sand lines. proving that the sand
falls into lines, and as the parts of the
plate move in opposite directions on
each side of the sand lines their effect
is eqUalized or destroyed, causing no
sound in the air in the cone balance
when directly over those lines.-Cleve-

General Lfgon, Clerk, Says that Jus- tices Have Been Busy fp Sum- mer and Opinions Already
 are Prepared.

Gen. R. F. Ligon. Clerk of the su- preme Court of Alabama. announced yesterday that he is having the records of the Court for the last term bound in book form, as required by the stat ute.

 "A large amount is accomplished by the Supreme Court" said General Ligon, "and the business before the court is disposed of with as much despatch as possible.

 The cabin was in flames when first discovered. and the alarm was turned In as soon as possible. The cabin was situated In -he northeast portion of the city known as the Fillmore quarters It was occupied by a negro woman. No insurance. The impression is that the orign of the fire was fncendiary.

TO IMPROVE
 CAR SYSTEM? Important Meeting Held in Philadelphia. THEY MAY SPEND $5OO,OOO Report of Car Experts Was Con-
 sidered. The Directors of the Company Meet tr Philadelphia to Consider the Raising of $oeo,ooo to Im-
 prove Montgomery's
 street Car System.
THEY MAY SPEND ssOO,ooo

A meeting of the utmost import ance to the street car patrons of Mont gomery was held yesterday when the directors of the Montgomery Traction Company met in Philadelphia. to take action upon the report and recommen- dation of Ford, Bacon and Davis that the sum of s500,000 be expended to make the Montgomery Street car sys- tenn as efficient as the size and im- portance of the city justify.
 What the directors did is not known in Montgomery. It could not be learn ed yesterday in Montgomery. The To- cal officers of the company contented themselves with the statement that they were not familiar with the mat ter and knew nothing of the meeting in Philadelphia.
 Boiled down to its concrete form the purpose of the meeting was to arrange for raising $500.0O0 for the improve ment of the local system. It was im- possible to say that the meeting ac- tuaIly took place, but it was called for yesterday and all preliminary ar- engagements for it had been made. The local stockholders of the company, of which there are quite a number. had heartily co-operated in the matter. It was said that the local stock had been forwarded to Philadelphia to
  big sum and that the local stockhold- CTS were earnestly hoping that the movement would be successful.
 It will be recalled that experts representing the famous firm of Ford, Bacon and Davis made a thorough and most exhaustive inspection of the Montgomery street car system. The road bed. the rolling stock. the over head wires, the switches and in short every detail of the large property was examined.
 The experts found that the proper ty was not in first class shape. The people of Montgomery will heartily endorse their conclusion. The experts further reported that it would take $500.000 to put the system In first class shape. The people of Montgomery will probably agree that the figures are just about right
 The report recommended that s25O.- 900 be spent immediately and th1t $25o.000 be spent in the next six months for these improvements. The meeting was called for yester- day in Philadelphia to act upon the report and to raise the money. It was intimated that the money would be successfully raised and that prob ably the improvements of the system would begin during the fall. But "a
