Old and New VloIlna.

An interesting test Of the relative
merits of old violins and new was
made the other day by the American
guild of violinists in session at Chicago.
1t may be recalled that some years
ago some experiments of the same
sort were made in Paris, with the un.
expected result that listeners not
knowing what sort they were hearing
awarded the palm to the new instru.
ments. This is absurd, Of course, for
II Stradivarius costs $4,000 or &c.,
600, how can 1t fail to be better than
a new violin worth only few hundred
dollars or perhaps less? Yet there Is
a heretical sect which holds that the
superiority Of the old Cremons max
ers is myth, and the Chicago ex-
pertinent was meant to settle that
point. 1t proved, however, inconclu-
sive, for while the old violins as a
rule carried off the honors the first
prize fell to violin only three years
old. Nineteen instruments were en-
tered, including a Nicholas Amati OF
1843 and Jacobus Stainer Of 1850.

FREAK PLACES FOR NESTS.

Many birds that are shy and retir
ing in other respects show very little
fear Of the creaking and grooming OF
heavy machinery, or the thunderous
roar of heavy trains. A bird lover
recalls reading some years ago OF a
pair of courageous little sparrows that
started a nest at one end of a large
turntable in roundhouse. This turn
table was the same at both ends. and
the birds built two nests-one on
each end, working one day on one
end and the next day on the other, as
the turntable was reversed. Here
in the midst Of din and confusion
they finally selected one Of the nests
and raised happy brood Of young
ones.

CHAMBER OF SILENCE.

At the Physiological Institute of the
University of Utrecht is a chamber
about 71s feet square, which is said
to be absolutely noiseless as far as
the entrance of any sounds from out
side is concerned. This chamber is
an inside room, but so arranged that
1t can be ventilated and inundated
with sunshine. The walls, doors and
ceiling each consist of half a dozen
layers of different substances, with
air spaces and interstices filled with
sound deadening materials. Some
persons when in the room experience
q curious sensation in the ears. While
every effort has been made to exclude
sounds that are not wanted, of course,
the object of constructing this singu-
lar room was to experiment with phe.
nomena connected with sound. Some
Of the sounds employed are made in
the room itself; others are introduced
from outside by means of a copper
tube, which is plugged with lead
when not in use.

CLEW TO WALTER
PERMthTER'S
ASSASSIN
GUN WITH WHICH DEED THOUGHT
TO HAVE BEEN Committed
FOUND IN GIN.
FOUND IN GIN

Winona, Miss, Aug. 6-The finding
yesterday of an unbreeched shot gun
wrapped in a sack in a gin house 200
yards from the home of Eugene Shew-
make at Eupora where Walter Per
menter was shot to death Friday
night inspires the peace officers to
hope that the assassin will soon be
captured. Three loaded and one
empty shell were found under the gin
house.
This is the first important clew I'M
earthed in the latest chapter of Win
ston county's bloody tragedy, the first
scene of which was laid two years ago
when pretty jamie Sharpe was killed.
A reward of $1,000 has been offered
for the arrest of Permenters slayer.
The trial of Swinton Permenter for
the alleged murder of jamie Sharpe
was postponed on account of the fu-
neral of the defendants brother. It
will open here tomorrow morning.
It is not improbable that Walter
Permenter was assassinated because
of the belief that he was the only wit
ness for the defense who was quail
+, fed to testify as to the result of the
investigations made by Detective
Walker, who was mysteriously assas-
sinated last year Walker was en-
ployed by the Permenter family.
