Music by Machinery
From the New York American.
 tsTvat-vthfae, Ie do.,e a.,. ,.,,at.. l., |.

 Everything is done by machinery these days" has become a common expres. sion for decade or more, and every year brings 1t nearer the truth One of the latest inventions illustrates the nearness to the truth of this statement, and that is device for writing music by ma chinery.
 A Swedish inventor named Nystrom in. vented the apparatus, which may be used in connection with any keyboard either piano or organ. It is operated by means of electricity, and when a piece of music is played in the ordinary way, this device. called 'melograph," records the sounds on a chemically prepared rib- bon, which has been treated with a preparation of wax to allow the impress sions for each tone.
 After the music has been played, the ribbon may be removed and read Just as one would read shorthand notes or the telegraph code. And in reading it the proper notations may be made, when presto.-there is the music actually written by machinery
 One of the greatest values of this in- vention Is to composers. A composer may finally strike exactly what he wants and play it as though inspired Under the old method. he had either to mem or.ze 1t by playing it over and over, and then writing 1t, or jot 1t down, note by note With the aid of this invention he may play his composition, remove the ribbon, and there it is. ready to copy into lasting form. Another feature of this invention is that the ribbon may be placed in specially constructed player and played as ordinary player rolls are put into a mechanical piano and played

One Woman Wine Faster

rom Ill-BltS.
 Of the list of strange callings foi- lowed by women, that of wine tasting
 s one of the most curious and lucrative. As a matter of fact, Nile. Collinere. whose services are in great demand in France, Germany and Italy. as wine taster Is said to make an income of about $25,000 a year. many firms em- p,oying her for regular work and fre- qnently for special duty.
 only half a dozen women wine tasters have been known to history, the most renowned of these being the wife of a famous London wine merchant. Mime. Pommery, who died in Paris twelve years ago, and Signora Sousa, who has a great reputation in Spain on account of her judgment and knowledge of wine.
 Wine tasters. 1t appears, are born. lot made, and must possess the gift of q rare and delicate palate. To this. of course, must be added a knowledgs of wines. Mile. collinere's taste is SO fine and her Knowledge of wines such that she can discern from the first taste of a wine just where the grapes grew from which 1t was made, whether they were raised in California or in ths vineyards of France Germany or else- where. She can easily detect adultera- ton of any sort. or if there Is blend. and of which wines, and can tell the age of a wine almost to a day. As a matter of fact, there are no secrets that q bottle of wine can withhold from this remarkable French woman once she has a spoonful of it in her mouth.
 She does not swallow the wine. In fact. she Is 8 teetotallcr, and If she were to drink wine would lose her sub tie magic of taste. Furthermore she is obliged to take the greatest care of her health. She must be we'll in order to do her work. for her sense loses it's cunning when she gets out of health.

2900 acres of watermelons were pro- dIced this year, making the shipping prospect 500 carloads. That means about fo0 900 melons.
 Now, about the taster. It has been customary to ship melons from Mclean after the old method of testing them by humping with the thumb and mid . die finger. This year a few carloads slipped out at first were found to be green. The market frowns on melon collie. To avert further complaint it was decided to taste the melons. Not all of them. to be sure, but about two in ev- cry wagonload. Now, as the farmer drives in, the buyer, armed with a huge knife, approaches as if to do slaughter.
 He grabs melon at random and in serts the knife. To the practiced ear of the tester the knief thrust is suf- fcient. If the melon is ripe 1t gives off fine cracking sound. But to make as- surance doubly sure the tester becomes taster and slicing bit out of the red heart of the luscious fruit he-goes into trance. Gle doesn't but you would.)
 The melon is then dropped and a scramble follows. Roys and girls sur rounding the market place fall over each other in wild efforts to eat out the heart, and what's left Is thrown to the village cows, that form the outer ring of expectancy. There has been a per ceptible increase in milk flow since the watermelon season opened at Mclean and they say-they say, mind you, that the milk has delicious sweetness and a flavor not imparted by grass.
 On the evidence given by two melons from wagon-load the buyer closes the deal and pays cash for the load, assuming all further responsibility in shipping and marketing. Growers make as high as $50 to $70-and in some in- stances s100-per acre from their wa tcrmelons, which are grown only as side line. They need little or no care, end the only expense Is the planting and the hauling to market so that the revenue is mostly clear profit. They consider themselves well paid if they receive 25 cents per hundred pounds for their melons. although prices have been as high as sixty cents hundred.

PLEASANT TO TRAVEL BY AIR
None of That Dusty. Worn Feeling
 Fastens on a Person
From the Worlds Work Magazine.

From the Worlds Work Magazine.
 From the time we took our places in the cabin of the Vilstoria Luise until we again stepped out upon solid ground. just 12 hours had elapsed In that time we had come from Dusseldorf-against a wind that at times had velocity of 20 miles an hour-by way of the seashore to Berlin. There had been no untoward incident. Every moment of the voyage was filled with pleasure. We came to earth rested and refreshed. with none of that dusty, worn feeling that fastens upon a person on a railroad trip. That we were fortunate in the weather en- ccuntered is true but it is also true that no Zeppelin airship has ever had se- rious accident while in the air. though several have been destroyed while riding at anchor.

Came Too High

From the National Monthly
 A young negro walked into the office of a prominent lawyer in Louisiana and said me 'vorcement."
 Whats the matter, John, said the attorney, "can't you get along with Mary or have you found some other girl you like better?' The negro, with a grin, admitted that he had found such girl and asked:
 What you goin'er charge me, MT. Charlie?"
 Fifty dollars, John, said the attorney. The negro moved uneasily about the office, scratched his head. but did not speak After a few minutes the lawyer asked:
 "Whats the trouble, John?''
 T just tell you, Mir. Charlie" said be, there amt no $50 difference in them gals

MILAN, TEXAS, HAS NEW KIND OF FASTER Man Tastes WatermelOns to See If They Are
 Ripe
-From the Southwest Trail.

From the Southwest Trail,
 How would you like to be a water
 nelon taster?
 You've heard of the tea taster-that
 expert whose tongue is trained to the
 determination of what's what in
 Oolong or sun-dried Japan--but the
 watermelon taster Is new one.
 He thrives in the southwestern plains
 country. That's where our best water
 melons come from. And if they are not
 az sweet and tender as they should be lay it on the taster. If you lived in the town of Mclean, Tex, on the wide Panhandle plains, where even at this late day the cattle population exceeds the human ten to one, If you couldn't be the official wa termelon taster you'd choose the next lest job and want to become either a | Kid or town COW. For why? Read later on.
 First understand that Mclean is a watermelon shipping point, when 1t 1isn't shipping cattle. This year the lmelon crop is good, as usual Ct never ! fe ils.). The acreage. however, is larger lthan tsual. Every rancher has a patch, |as patches go in region where land His plenty, 320 acres is farm, and ranches are measured in miles, and not |lscres.

American coaches will be asked to help prepare the French athletes for the next Olympic games. This is the ous- come of the poor performance of French athletes at Stockholm and the brilliant showing made there by the Americans. France has taken the lesson of the games to heart, and is forming an or ganization already to get ready a repre- sentative and properly trained team for the Berlin games.
 An influential committee has been ramed, and on it one finds such names as those of Auguste Rodin, the sculptor, Jean Richepin, the playwright and au- thor, Gabriel Bonvalot. the explorer, and the Marquis de Polignac.
 The committee has decided to found an athletic college. The college will pos- sess football grounds. running tracks, a large swimming pool and other mod ern appurtenances. It is the intention of the promoters to send athletes from the college to instruct the authorities in she provinces as to the training and or ganizatlon of athletic teams.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
 They have wise 1o-year-old boy in ar East End family and some of his sayings are really worth peddling. At least, his father thinks they are, or he wouldn't tell this one:
 The other day the youngster approached the father and stared at him for some time.
 Daddy" he finally said. ''you~ think mamma is the most beautiful person you every saw, don't your"
 "of course" replied the father. with great promptness

CARSON INVITING
 AN IMPEACHMENT
Conditions Still Bad at Bel fast-Lord Dunsany Is
 One of Literary Peers

Dublin, November 9.-(speciaD King doubled the leader of the Ulster 'ere- bellion Sir Edward Carson, K. C., M. P, seems absolutely determined to goad As- qulth and Redmond Into ordering his im- peachment for high treason. Carson has again raised commotion in the north by urging Ulster to flight rather than sub init to the face of lawlessness now be- ing perpetuated in the Home Rule de- bates in parliament To the Ulster un- ionists, he recommended this one consola- ton. Ut shows me how right we have been in Ulster all though to determine to rely upon ourselves, and l hope and believe that the more the men of Ulster realize the position, the more they will feel justified in taking any and every step that may be found necessary to main tain their liberties. To see the govern ment of the united kingdom absolutely in letters, placed upon them by the Irish nationalist party, is a sad and slkening sight but let us not despair, as we can at all events rely upon our own courage and determination"
 The prevailing impression that the reign of terror in the Belfast shipyards has completely ceased, and that the condi- tions are again normal, is far from ac- curate. Although it Is true that the nu- merous acts of violence which marked the early orange demonstrations are now comparatively few, intimidation Is still rampant, and many of the men who were compelled to leave their work under threats of the tory mob are still unable to return owing to the attitude of those whose minds have been innamed by the wild and reckless speeches of King" Carson and his lieutenants. In fact, so bitter is the feeling of the Carsonite ad- herents that it is unsafe for the home ruler whether Catholic or Protestant, to mention his political views in the ship yards.
 The Countess of Aberdeen has rejolned the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland at the Viceregal Lodge, after brief and very successful tour through various parts of Ireland in support of the Womans Ma tional Health association, and the de- velopment of Irish industries.
 Lady Aberdeen has completely recov- cred from the illness which threatened to deprive Ireland of an exceedingly popular vicereme.
 Lord Dunsany, who with Lady Dunsany has returned to the family residence, Dunsany castle, in Meath, is one of lre- lands not very numerous literary peers. Whilst undoubtedly heads the list and 1t is hardly quite clear that he does not end 1t as well. With a fine imagination that finds expression in poetic prose, his writ ings breathe Celtic spirit As in Greece 1t Is evidently in Ireland the atmosphere, not the "blood' that has the most power full influence on the mind. The Plunkett family, of one brench of which Lord Dunsany is the head are of Danish de- cent, and their neighbors in Heath for long centuries were not Cets, but Nor mans of the Pale. Lord Dunsany and Sir Horace Plunkett are of the same blood, being nephews and uncle. The difference is very striking between the genius of the idealist and that of his practical and utilitarian relative.
