How Centlpeds Walk.

A eminent authority has investigat.
ed the peculiar wavy motion of cent?
peds and millepeds. to determine the
manner in which these animals man
age to use their superintendent pedal
extremities so gracefully and harmoni-
ously. II has been found that the legs
move In groups, or waves, each wave
including definite number of legs.
The number OF waves included In the
length of the body is constant for each
species. In millepeds the waves Of
each side are synchronous; in cent?.
peds they arc symmetrically alternate,
giving rise to beautifully accordant
movements. The difference may be
explained by suggesting that the mil.

Race prejudice struck an original
note in West Forty-second street the
other night, says the New York
News. About eight o'clock several
small colored boys took positions
near the entrance to an Office build
ing and piped up a plantation mel
ody. Soon the desired crowd assem-
bled and the boys singing increased
in volume and feryOr. Presently a
white newsboy who stood at the in
side edge of the audience joined in.
With his fist note every voice except
the newsboy's stopped singing The
leader OF the colored choir leaped
forward menacingly. Cut 1t out" he
said. I'VE can't have our music
spoiled by a white voice. Although
he knew all their songs, the newsboy
remained a silent spectator through
out the remainder of the concert.

TWO old TIMERS
ON BIG LAKE
ONLY TWO SAILING SCHooNERs
ON LAKE SUPERIOR, BOTH
IN THE LUMBER
TRADE.

The days Of the sailing schooner on
Lake Superior are passing.
Modern steam vessels and huge bulk
freighters have almost entirely sup
planted the schooners. and at the pres
cnt time the list of sail-rgged freight
ers has dwindled down 10 almost moth
ing. Vesselmen regard the sailing
schooner as a curiosity
There are, however, two sailing
schooners actively engaged In the lum-
Der trade on Lake Superior at the
present time, and as far as is known
these are the only two which do not
depend upon tugs To tow them in and
out Of a harbor. They are the Cora A.,
owned by William Walsh of Chicago.
and the Quickstep, owned by Capt
James Erickson Of Milwaukee.

A grand opportunity for money
saving is afforded Piano buyers by the
extraordinary sale now in progress at
Grinnell Bros store at 3O7 quincy st"
Hancock. The occasion is the firms
eighth annual clearance of Summer
Resort Pianos.
In order that the importance Of this
sale may be appreciated the condi-
tions making il necessary will be brief
Is explained.
Hundreds of Pianos are rented by
irinnell Bros. each summer To cot
tagcrs at the various resorts i'm Michi-
gan. These people want music in their
summer homes and are usually well
able TO afford it. Grinnell Bros. with
their vast stocks. exceptional facilities
and chain of "a stores at different
points I'm the state. are the only house
Ia a position To handle this Summer
Renting business. They get $25 to 800
for the seasons use of a Piano, or
Player Piano. depending upon the
value of the instrument.
ON account of the severe heat of the
past spring and summer more families
spent the season at resorts than ever
before. Consequently Grinnell Bros.
we're called upon TO furnish an unus-
ually large number of Pianos. These
instruments have now been returned
and their warerooms already well filed
with new Pianos, will not accommo-
date the rented instruments.
This is the situation confronting
Grinncll Bros, and they have decided
to meet 1t by making such attractive
prices on the rented Pianos that buy
ers will quickly be found for them.
Every dollar received as rent for
these Pianos has been deducted from
tho prices, and i'm many cases addi-
tional large reductions have been made
IN order to close them out Immediately.
These rented Pianos must not be
confused with the ordinary Bargain"
Pianos (old instruments that have In
many cases outlived their usefulness).
Most Of the Pianos included in this
sale were brand new and left the fac
tory but few months ago. many hav-
