The King Of instruments.

Restricted as is its range of dynam-
les, the violin has had for its votaries
men Of such widely differing tempera-
ments as Paganlni and Spohr, VIII
helmj aud Sarasate. Joachim and
Ysaye. Its literature does not com
pare with that OF the piano, for which
Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin
and Brahms have written their choic-
est music, yet the intimate nature Of
the violin, its capacity for passionate
emotion, crowns it--and not the organ
with Its mechanical tonal eRects-as
the king Of instruments. Nor does the
voice make the peculiarly poignant. ap-
peal Of the violin. It's lowest note is
the g below the treble clef and Its top
note q mere squeak. but 1t seems in a
few octaves to have imprisoned within
Its wooden walls miniature world Of
feeling. Even in the hands of a clum.
sy amateur It has the formidable DOW.
er OF giving pain, while In the grasp
or master It Is capable OF rousing the
soul.--James Huneker in EverybOdy's.

Electrical Propulsion.

The projected electriHcation Of an
entire division Of a great railroad, $40

Mr.. Hartman. indicates that a new
era in railway propulsion may be at

prophesying that the displacement Of
steam locomotives by electric motors
was at hand. But the experimental

The uss Of Iron.

Iron has been known to men for a
very long time. In the time Of the AS
syrians 1t was extensively used, iron
saws, knives and other tools having
been found by Layard at Nineveh.
Homer refers to the forging Of iron,
while the hardening and tempering of
steel appear to have been operations
IN common use among the early
Greeks. The employment Of a kind OF
bellows for the forging Of tools, pre-
Sumably of iron, figures In Egyptian

Romans the manufacture Of iron was

world and into those regions where II

Lundyfoot and He snuff.

The shop OF a Dublin tohacconIst
named Lundyfoot was destroyed by
fire. While be was gazing dolefully
into the smoldering ruins he noticed
that his poorer neighbors were gath

tested the SNUFF for himself and dis
covered that the fire had largely i'm

was a hint worth profting by. He Sc
cured another shop. built a lot Of
ovens, subjected the snuff TO a heat
ing process, gave the brand a name

through an accident which he at first
thought had ruined him. 1t was Lun-
dyfoot to whom the great orator and
wit, John Philpot Curran, suggested the
celebrated motto to the coat OF arms

conist upon the panels Of his carriage,
a motto which had its. meaning in
Latin and English and was significant

"Quid," 1t may be mentioned, was a
nickname bestowed on tobacconists at
the time, owing to a prominent article

HAY IS BEAMING

OLYMPIA, March 3.-For a
man accredited with but pri-

game, Acting Governor Hay is dis
playing at least that he is a pre-
cocious beginner, as may be sur
missed from the fact that the ap-
pointment of Judge Morris has re-

Jobs. First Judge Morris goes
from the superior bench Of King
county to the supreme bench of
the state, leaving a vacancy in
King county. Next comes Judge
Ronald, who fills the bench OF
King county, but leaves a vacancy
on the board of regents of the
state university. This last posi-.
ton has not yet been filled, but
there are still possibilities that
with proper circumspection ar
endless chain can be kept up.
This, however, was not the in
tention of Gov. Hay, and certain

EARRING SAYS MIL WAUKEE

PRESIDENT OF NEW ROAD IN
SPECTING WORK IN THIS
CITY - ANNOUNCES THAT
MANY FEEDERS WILL BE
OPERATED IN WASHINGTON
- WILL BRING BUSINESS

President A. j. Earring and 9TH
err officials of the Milwaukee rail-
way are today inspecting the prop
critics OF the company in this city.
Mr.. Darling arrived in the city
late yesterday afternoon and at
once dug into the work of the line
here. He announced himself well
pleased with the progress of work
locally and seemed enthusiastic
over the city's prospects.
According to Mr.. Darling, Taco
ma is destined to be the terminus
of network of railway lines
which will connect with the main
line in this state. Announcement
was made yesterday of the pur-
chase by the Milwaukee of the
Priest Rapids railway from Henry
Owen, Manley B. Haynes and w.
r. Rust. This line as originally
projected was to extend for So
miles through the Hanford and
Richland irrigation districts west
Of the Columbia river. The Mil
waukee will connect UP its line
with the project and it will serve
as feeder.
Already arrangements have
been made for extension to Grays
Harbor. Surveys have been made
for line up into the Hoods canal
country tapping the great timber
resources there. other side lines
will be projected and built. as the
occasion requires, and President
Earling says the company will
have plenty Of feeders for its road
In Washington.
Contractors j. M. Bruce & Co.
say they will be at work on the
Front street line next week. There
has been some delay in getting
and this has held back
building operations.
President Earling will remain
in this section until the road is
completed. The golden spike will
be driven April 2 and he says he
expects regular traffic to begin by
July 1. There will be abundance
of work after the rails are laid
in ballasting up the track and get
ting 1t in shape and the company
will proceed carefully to have
things In good condition when
trains do start.
Passenger trains will probably
not start July 1, when the road
Is first pressed into use, as the
line will be thoroughly tested be-
fore they are put on for fast
