WHISTLE K-ARO MANY MILES
Notes of Steamboat Siren Carry Far,
Especially on Still Night In
the Country.

Have you ever wondered what
sounds travel the farthest? If you live
in a great city you are constantly en-
veloped in such a multitude of noises
that it is very seldom that any partic-
ular one attracts the attention unless
it be unusually sharp or strdent and
although piercing. such sound is
not likely to carry any great distance.
The higher notes are exceedingly pen
etrating for a short radius. and I'M
questionably more startling than the
lower ones, but the latter are much
more far-reaching.
The ability of a sound TO carry de-
ponds upon its vibrations, and any one
who has listened to the deep notes of
a pire organ in a church VIII admit
that he could almost feel the air vi
brate. But probably a steamboat
whistle. such as are common on the
Ohio and Mississippi packets. can be
heard as far as any sound that may
ordinarily be met with. The deep
resonance of it's tones, floating stead
lily out into the air, seem to stretch
away indefinitely into space, especial
ly in the stiffness of a night in the
country. 1t is a sound that cannot be
mistaken for any other, and when
once it's acquaintance has been made
you will never forget it.-Harper's
Weekly.

Trees That Whistle and Weep.

In Nubia there is curiosity in tree
life. 1t is called the Solar or Whis-
fling tree When the soft winds blow
through its branches 1t gives forth de-
Iightful melodies after the manner Of
the old-time Aeolian harp. For hours
at time this strange, weird musil
stretches out across the wilderness,
thrilling the listener with mad
fantasy of pleasure. The Nubians
claim that it is the spirits of the dead
singing to those who are about to join
them. Scientists say that the music
is caused by millions of small holes
bored by an insect in the spines of the
leaves. Another tree that interests
botanists Is the Weeping tree of the
Canary islands. This tree, during the
driest weather, will rain down regular
showers from its leaves The natives
during drought gather under the
branches and fill their buckets. The
water Is clear and pure.

CHAMPLAIN'S ASTR0LABE.
Interesting Relic Of Discoverer Found
In Canada.

A relic which is of interest In connec.
ton with the Champlain ter%centenary
is the astrolabe once owned by the dis
coverer of the famous lake in New
York state and lost by him. 1t is sup
posed, on his first journey up the OF
tawa river in 1913. This curious re-
minder of the explorations of the brave
and farsighted Frenchman of three
centuries ago was found in 1867 in the
county Of North Renfrew. in the prov
ince of Ontario, near the river OF the
same name. Perusal of Champlain's
narrative of his journeys makes II GER
tain that he Travelled over the portage
road In which the astrolabe was found.
1t is supposed that he lost 1t during
the march Of June Z, 1913. The astro-
labe is one of the earliest instruments
used In determining latitude. The d.
ameter of this specimen is five and
fiye-eighths inches. 1t Is of plate brass
one-eighth inch thick above, increasing
to three-eighths inch below to give 1t
steadiness when suspended. Its circle

assistant, Robert G. Valentine, was
chosen to succeed him. He is also a
former newspaper mar and takes sub
stantially the same views Of the Indian
problems as those entertained by Mr..
Leupp.
Mr.. Valentine was born in Holliston,
Mass, and after leaving the Boston
Institute Of Technology was engaged
for a time in banking and later in the
railroad business. He was obliged to
give up his railroad work and go south
for his health. His doctor warned him
against going back farther north than
Washington, so he settled in the ma
tional capital and took up newspaper
work with one of the correspondents OF
a New York paper. While thus en-
| gagged he fitted himself for the posi-
ton and was later made private secre-
tary to Commissioner Leupp.
In his spare moments he made a sys-
tematic study of the Indian bureau and
was soon thoroughly conversant with
its affairs. His possession of this spe-
ciaI knowledge prompted Commissioner
Leupp t. recommend him for appoint
ment as deputy commissioner.
Mr.. Valentine Is regarded by those
who have come in contact with hin
as a man of exceptional ability ant
untiring industry. a close student Of at
fairs and one who is not daunted by
obstacles.
