There must be something in sport
Ing blood that produces the musical
temperament when the two most tai
Geraldine Farrar and Albert Spald-
ing are both the children of famous
baseball players. The distinguished
soprano is the daughter Of Sid. C..
Farrar, long a member OF the Phila-
delphia Nationals, and the greatest
of American violin virtuosos is
the son of Al, G. Spalding, whose ca
reer and fame are too well known for
repetition here.
Mr., Spalding is a yiolinist of the
most extraordinary technical powers.
He has a beautiful sensuous tone,
great warmth Of conception, Joined
with comprehensive mentality
which enables him to put these quail
ties to the best use.
Spalding has in his artistic make
UP that which appeals to both lay
man and professional; his warm,
singing, soulful tone will always
please miscellaneous audience,
while his mastery of the violin, his
sterling musicianship and his exqui-
site taste in all things pertaining to
Interpretation must win the admira-
ton Of connoisseurs. Spaldings
technique is highly developed; it is
fluent, it is reliable and clean cut.
What makes Spalding's art partic-
ularly attractive are the above mea-
toned qualities of his round, noble,
ringing tone, which recalls Will
helmjs, and a temperament filed
with youthful freshness.
Albert Spalding was born in Chi
cago in 1888, and began his studies
at ar early age with Professor Chit
in Florence, where he lived in the
winter, studying in the summer in his
own country with the Spanish master,
Professor j. Buitrago. When he was

Some Big Chain Cables.

Some of the biggest, if not the big
gest, chain cables in the world are
those made in South Wales for certain
new quadruple-screw turbine Atlantic
liners.
The iron bar used in making the
links is three and three-quarters
inches in diameter at the smallest
part. Each link is about twenty-five
and a quarter inches long and weighs
about 100 pounds.
When tested for strength the
breaking stress of 1857 tons required
by law, instead of fracturing these
gigantic links, simply elongated them
about one inch. With the highest
stress that the testing machine could
give, about $40 tons, the links showed
no signs of crackss-Harper's Weekly.

Losing Its TentacIes.

With many States and the United
States Government in hot pursuit of
the Standard Oil Company it would
not be surprising If that octopus was
in a somewhat distressed frame Of
mind. Many of its tentacles are be-
ing Topped off, so many, in fact, that
it is doubtful if with even its marvel
Gus powers Of replacement 1t can
grow new ones quite fast enough to
save itself from permanent manning.
The loss of Tennessee, which has been
made final by a decision of the United
States Supreme Court, will probably
be severely felt by the corporation,
not, perhaps, so much because it
means expulsion from one State as
because of the evil advertising it
means and the bad odor which the
Supreme Court of the United States,
soon to pronounce judgment of life or
death upon 1t, seems to find attached
to it,-Providence Bulletin.

Story Of a $4,000 Lump and Some-
thing About the Substance.
The story of how Manchester IN.
H. painter found in the st. Lawrence
river a lump Of grayish substance
weighing thirty-eight pounds, ana
how he has discovered that the solid
fatty stun is amborgris and Is worth
$4,000, recalls the nearest thing to
romance that ever entered into the
lives of Gloucester and New Bedford
whalers, in the old days when Amer
lean whalers dared every sea. 1t was
like a lottery. Once in lifetime
you might chance on the decaying
body OF a whale, giving off an awful
smell, and inside that whale would
be fortune enough so that you
would never have to go to sea again.
Charles Reade as far as We remem-
Der, is the only writer to introduce
ambergris into fiction. In Love Me
Little, Love Me Long" David tells
Miss Fountain how the skipper
stuffed their noses and ears with cot

they lighted short pipes and preached

1t is a matter OF record that not
far from the Windward islands q
Yankee skipper in one Of the best
old whaling years did cut out Of a
whale 100 pounds of ambergris,
which was sold for c 900. The price
quoted for many years was So an

floating on the sea, particularly on
the coast Of Brazil and of Madagas-

Llqhtnlna as a Fertilizer.

Often on mountain seacoasts the
vaporlsden south wind is seen COW
ering the mountain peaks with
cloudy veil. This same phenomenon
can be seen atop some Of our peaky
spires. Now, atmospheric electricity
can take these same routes and
harmlessly and silently balance and
mix up and neutralize the differing
electric loads Of earth and air. This
may be all TO the good In insuring,
for miles around, safety from thun'
derbolts, but at the same time it
may be stealing something from the
farms and gardens Of the vicinage,
for lightning loads the air with
bushels Of nitrous gases which de-
soend with the rain to enrich the
eround.-TIp In the New York Press

Prince Georges Marriage.

- ~ %'Assi ial~Ns
Prince George was created Duke
OF York, Earl of Inverness and Baron
Killarney on the Queens birthday,
May "a, 1892. His marriage with
Princess May Of Teck, who had been
aiiianced to the Duke of Clarence. was
celebrated in the Chapel Royal. ST.
James, on July G, 1893. Six children
were born to them-Edward Albert
CJune 20, 1890, Albert Frederick
December IA, 1880, Victoria Alex
andra (April 25, 1890, Henry Will
lam March 81, 1900, George Ed
ward December 20, 1902 and John
Charles (July 70, 1860. The sue
cesRion in the direct line, for which
at one time much apprehension was
felt in England, appears, therefore, to
be secure.
Tour of the World.
The most noteworthy occurrence in
the life of the new King thus far is
the seven months trip around the
world and the British colonies which
he took in 1901, shortly after his
fathers accession to the throne. On
this journey Prince George was ac-
companied by the Princess, who
shared with him all the honors be-
slowed on him at every place they
visited, Prince George opened the
first Parliament of the Common
wealth of Australia. The royal cou-
pie had arrived in Canada, and there
was reason to believe that the jour-
ney would be extended to the United
States, though no arrangements in
that direction had been made, when
President Mckinley was assassinated.
The tragedy put a visit to this coun-
try at that moment out of the ques-
ton and the Prince and Princess re-
turned to England without having
seen the country which Edward VII.
had visited more than forty years
before, when a young man.
Guildhall Speech.
On his return to London Prince
George was publicly received at the
Guildhall, his hosts being the Lord
Mayor and the Aldermen. He deliv-
cred an address on that occasion
which showed that the quiet, retiring
young man who was known to be
averse to social functions and public
demonstrations was a gifted speaker
and that he possessed the qualities of
leader. 1t was in this address that
the heir to the throne delivered his
well known advice to England to
wake up The young Princes
Guildhall speech was referred to by
Lord Rosebery as "a statesnan-like
address"
In his speech Prince George spoke
Of his experiences in the distant pos
sessions Of the empire and Of the
impressions made on him by what he
had seen. His trip had taken him
through the Mediterranean and the
Suez Canal to India, Australia, New
Zealand, South Africa, St. Vincent,
w. l., and to Nova Scotia, and
through Canada to the Pacific Ocean.
In the autumn of 1905 Prince
George again visited India, and on
his return made another speech, in
which he declared that "the task Of
governing India will be made easier
If we on our part infuse into 1t a
wider element Of sympathy" In
1908 he came to Canada to attend the
celebration of the Champlain ter
centenary, meeting Vice-President
Fairbanks, who represented this
country, at Quebec.

The Admiralty ordered the Prince
on May G, 1890, to the command OF
the large gunboat Thrush, on the
North American and West Indian sta

Iully accomplished the difficult task
OF towing a torpedo boat across the
atlantic. He also visited Canada and
the United States and acted as the
Queens representative in opening the
Rdustrial exhibition at Kingston, ia
maica. Returning to England he
was promoted to the rank Of COM
mander on August 81, 1891. In the
autumn of that year he went to visit

Stroll. a wealthy German farmer.
Stroll Is a religious man himself, but
he is what is called mberland
Presbyterian. Another Cumberland
Presbyterian died, and the Rey Mr..
Fisher was asked to officiate at the
funeral. Stroll offered an opening
prayer, asking that all bitterness
might be done away with. He was
astounded when the minister respond
ed with this appeal to an overruling
Providence:
oh, Lord, make Brother Stroll a
better man, cause him to pay his debts
and TO cease back biting"
70 The amen" came, in time, and
Stroll protested then and there while
the undertaken waiter and the nerves
of the mourners were on edge. But
the Rev. Mr.. Fisher stuck to his
ground, and no compromise was pos
sible So the civil courts will have to
decide whether prayer can be Islander:
and II it was SANDER in this instance,
whether Stroll was injured $500
worth. We imagine the case will be
watched with interest all over the
United States.-Brooklyn Eagle.
