yesterday was still under investigation
to-day. Whittier became III while visit
ing the apartments of Wilford J. Ltich-
field, a genealogist. in the Hotel Ma
varre. The medical examiner found that
death was caused by cyanide OF potas-
SUM and that there was no indication
OF suicide. The police after questioning
Litchfield and hotel employees saw no
reason to hold any one on charge Of
murder.
The theory that Whittier took the
poison accidentally has been advanced.
When he went to the Iitchtield apart

Lhchfield had caller and was asked
to wait IN another room. He went 10 a
bathroom where some time later he was

HENRY BELLS COMET.
The First Steamer That Piled For Hire
In Great Britain.

In Great Britain.
Among the curiosities of advertising
may surely be placed the first adver-
tisement of the first steamer that piled
for hire In Great Britain-namely.
Henry Bells Comet. Thus ran the ad,
vertisement in the Glasgow Courier Of
1872:
Steam passage boat. the Comet, be-
tween Glasgow, Greenock and Helens-
burg. For passengers only. The sub
Scriber having at much expense fitted
up a handsome vessel to ply upon the
river Clyde between Glasgow and
G~reenock-to sail by the power of
wind, air and steam-he intends that
the vessel shall leave the Broomielaw
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-
days about midday or at such time
thereafter as may answer from the
state of the tide and to leave Green
ock on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days In the morning to suit the tide.
The elegance. comfort, safety and
speed of this vessel require only to be
proved to meet the appreciation OF
the public, and the proprietor Is de
termined to do everything in his power
to merit public encouragement. The
terms are for the present A shillings
for the best cabin and 3 shillings for
the second, but beyond these rates
nothing is to be allowed to servants or
any other person employed about the
vessel"
What would poor neglected Henry
Bell have said could he have seen his
humble little Comet, Of whose ele-
gance. comfort and speed. he was so
proud, alongside a modern ocean

How Sound Waves Move.

The speed with which sound waves
are transmitted through the atmos-
phere depends on several conditions.
When the temperature is at 80 degrees
f., sounds move with a speed Of 1000
feet per second. the velocity increas-
ing with the temperature at the rate Of
about one foot of speed per second for
each degree above the freezing point.
Then, again. in damp air sound moves
with a greater velocity than It does in
dry air, no odds if the dry air be warm
and the damp cold In water sound
moves more than four times as fast
as 1t Ices in air, or, say. at about the
rate of 400 feet per second.

Suicide and the Weather.

Suicide is most frequent In summer.
when the air IS clear and the sun
shines. In Europe the maximum of
suicides Is reached in June and the
minimum in December. Yet there are
fewer suicides in the torrid than In
the temperate zone. In the United
States. in an seasons. there are more
suicides or sunny days than on cloudy
days. Some theorists reason that fnr
weather ~aggravates the mental depres-
sion Of the unhappy by its contrasting
sunshine. In dark weather there are
few suicides and fewer In time of
war or following some great catas-
trophe. During the first three months
that follow a devastating earthquake
there are fewer deaths by suicide than
before the cataclysm.-Harper's.
