SAME SOUND HEARD TWICE.

Is it possible to hear the same
sound twice over? 1t would seem SO
from the experience of manufac-
turer in Trenton, New Jersey, as re-
lated in the Telephone Review. BE
had been talking by telephone with
some one at the factory from a point
several miles away, when the famil-
lar whistle blew for one o'clock. II
came to him very distinctly, lasting
about five seconds, and he had hung
up the receiver when to his amaze
ment the same hound came to him
through the slower medium of the
air. Of course the possibility is OBJ
vious enough, but to most of us it
will be one of those things that we
never thought of before.

DUG FAR FOR BURIED MEN.

Three miners of Kinross county,
Scotland, were recently entombed for
IS hours in the Benarty Pit, Kelly.
They were engaged on the night
shift, and were piercing through to
some old workings, when a large fall
of material came away from both
sides of thepi, completely shutting
them in. Rescue parties immediate
ly started in an endeavor to release
them. 1t was found that the men,
though Gagged in, were safe, and it
was also seen that it would be long
and tedious job to get them from the
Benarty Pit side. A rescue party
was accordingly formed at the Ait
ken colliery, and after a spell of hard
work the men were got out and as
cended by the Aitken shaft. None
of them were any the worse for their
long Imprisonment.

"This is Main street and Getty

"Aren't you mistaken, John ?"
said the representative. 81 don't

Probably not, Mr.. Andrus," was
the chauffeur's response. "You see,

1t may be explained for the benefit

that Soho is the Tenderloin of the city.
Situated in the heart OF the west end.
Its broad streets abound in theaters
and restaurants and are at the same
time Tenderloin promenades. Inspec.

Back OF these broad thoroughfares
are hundreds OF mean narrow streets.
the hotbeds Of the Latin anarchists
and the abiding place OF the scum OF

police records Soho has bad name.
and one Scotland Yard inspector in a
police investigation held a few years

Soho from the criminal standpoint
was the worst in London.

Faro is the great and the favorite

Thirty-two cards are used and no

There is no elaborate layout; in most
cases four matches sufficing. These
are lai& in front Of the dealer and
each end Of match represents q

the money at the end OF the match

This game Of faro as played in Lon
