HUGE ASSORTMENT
OF PYROTECHNICS
Display Of Fireworks Secured for
Fourth OF July Celebration Finest
Ever Brought to Territory.

Without doubt the finest assortment
OF fireworks ever shipped to the Sun.
shine Territory arrived in Santa Fe
yesterday and today were stored in
the warehouse Of the Water and Light
company where they are being close
" guarded by Frank Owen. There
are 474 aerial pieces in the consigll-
ment and many stationary exhibits.
1t has been decided to set off the
fireworks from the top OF old Fort
Marcy instead of in the street in front
of the Federal building. This deci-
sion was necessary owing to the
enormous number of pieces that are
to be fired and the danger that might
arise because of jam too near the
manipulators of the display
The exhibition may be witnessed
for many miles. 1t can be seen from
the top of the ridge this side of Lamy
from Espanola, Madrid, Cerrmos and
in fact the glow in the sky may be de.
tected fifty miles. This feature alone
will be the grandest of it's kind ever
attempted in this territory.
Mr.. Owen and s. B. Grimshaw this
morning stated that if the fireworks
were secured through Payne, who
sends an expert with every exhibi-
ton, they would cost thousand dol.
lars. One of the features of the pyro.
technic display will be piece five
feet high and five feet long from
which will shoot many rockets with
streams of fire of many and varied
colors and the whole will be illumi-
mated with Greek fire. This piece
will be set off last of all. Large let
ters will say: Good Night" This dis
play will last nearly five minutes dur.
ing which time skyrockets will be sent
out from it and the illumination will
die out with a loud boom.
AT the opening of the exhibition a
salute to the President of the United
States will be fired consisting of TWEEN
ty-one distinct reports.
Special officers will be secured to
guard the explosives during the ex
hibition. Care will be taken to fire all
the aerial pieces towards the hills
No one will be allowed on the hill
from the time the first piece is set of
until all is over but those chosen by
Mr.. Owen, who has been given com
plete charge of this end of the grand
celebration planned for the Fourth.

lowing sentence Nobody ever thinks
.of whispering in the throat in fact
it is quite impossible.
Whether you know 1t or not, Nature
has endowed you with a singing and
speaking voice which ought 10 be an
asset to you both in business and in
social life You can cultivate your
voice with but little effort and great
deal of pleasure when you once know
what tone really is. Application is
energy wasted If you try to do or
make thing without learning first
the principles that govern it. If the
German Count Zepplen, who is spend
ing his life time in building air ships,
discovers the laws that will make 1t
possible for us to navigate in the air,
the building of air ships for our daily
use and pleasure will become a simple
matter. In order to develop your
voice, 1t is just as necessary first for
You to know the laws through which
tone finds its existence When you
once know the laws, you can easily
apply them in practice, In fact, you
should give them practical applica-
ton, else your knowledge of them is
of no use. Development demands two
things-the knowledge of the law and
It's practical application,
Let us now find out the law that
governs the existence of tone, or
sound. Sound is an air wave. When
you speak or sing you disturb the par.
ticles OF air about you. When one lit
tie molecule of air is disturbed 1t in
turn disturbs the next one and so on.
But when the next molecule puts the
one farther from 1t in motion, it has
lost little in energy. Place four
marbles in row. Give the first one a

energy by so much Therefore, It
is that you see the last marble moy-
ing slower than the first So it is
with the PARTICLES Of air that push
along the sound wave. The energy
of the sound wave must finally die
ont and tine sound cease at a certain
distance. Were this not so. tho chirp
of 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 it 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. If the pool is large enough
the wave motion may disappear before
it reaches the edge, because it takes
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, /. G., about you on all sides. II
the air did not move specifically, your

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 a 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

which transmits the sound. The
cloth breaks the sound vibrations.
The waves that reach your hearing

the cloth and, therefore, you get n
