EVERY MOVE CREATES SOUND
scientific Fact Not Known to AIl- Aouteness of Hearing Among the
 Lower Animals.

It is very difficult to make some per. sons believe that nothing can move without making sound, although it may seem to be absolute silence to them Everything that moves dis turhs the air around it and sets up a kind of wave motion that spreads through the atmosphere in all direc- tions. When these wave motions are strong enough sound is heard. That nothing is heard is no evidence that .here is no sound, fer other living things may hear what men cannot. Tn, motion that is started in the air when anything vibrates or moves suddenly has often been compared to lhe motion of the surface of still wa ter when we drop a pebble into a pond. But there Is this great diffor ence The eye can see the wave made by the smallest glass bead you can ind, but the ear is not nearly so sen sltive, and unless the waves are pret- y high in the atmosphere the human ear cannot detect them as sound.
 The lower animals and birds have much better ears than human beings. A dog will prick up Its ears at the sound of it's masters voice, or faint whistle, when 1t Is an astonishing dis tance off A man in Baltimore put his head out of the window and called his dog Jack, which he thought was chas- ing cats in the grounds of tho blind asylum opposite.
 The dog was sitting On the steps of friends house with the mans daugh' ter, nearly half 6 mile away, and in- stantly jumped up and tore oil home. It had heard that call.
 A deer has been known to look up tt the sound of footstep that was 1 ytill hat q mile away In the woods,

 You are earning $S week, and have three children to support on that said the judge. "It Is evident that you must cut your expenses down as iov as possible. You are paying for piano by installmenrs. You will have to stop that, for people in your circumstances can't afford to have a piano.

 The judge found that they belonged to different churches, and be advised that the wife join the husband s church. He added that 1t was proper that the husband hold the purse strings. Afte, many other difficulties had been smoothed over the case was continued two weeks to give the new methods a trial. The couple left, but at the dCur the woman turned to the Judge and said:

Fight of the Sugar and Wool Men is Gaining
 Strength.
SECRETARY CONFERS
Redfield Has Long Conference With Ways and Means Com.
 mittee.

Washington, May 10.-Substantial reduction of tariff rates without de- stroying any American industry and reciprocity that will enlarge foreign policy around which insurgent Dem- ocratic opposition to the Wilson-Un- derwood tariff bill is solidfying in the senate. This policy will have the sup port of such men as Ransdell and Thornton of Louisiana; Shafroth, of Colorado; Newlands and Pittman of Nevada; and Walsh, of Montana, and it is believed number of other sena- tors will also throw their influence in favor of the plan. The fight of the sugar and wool men against free trade in these products is gaining strength. Protests are flowing in upon the committee from business and farming interests and from labor or ganizations.
 Today Secretary of Commerce Red field had a long conference with the committee. The probable effect upon twentythree existing treaties of the proposed five per cent reductions in rates on goods imported in American ships was under consideration. The committee inclines to the acceptance of this amendment regardless of the protest of other nations. Secretary Redfield also urged the committee to postpone for two or three months from the date of tke approval of the law, the time when the new rates should become operative against woolen and cotton cloths and clctning.
 He urged in order that manufactur- CTS who have made up their supplies on the basis of existing cost and du- ties might have time to get rid of their products. The committee looks with favor on this suggestion.

READY TO FOLLOW LEADER
tasion So Quickly Spread as That of Emotion,

George F. Bass used to tell story that illustrated the contagion Of emo tions.
 An old darkey sat by his freslde in a dejected frame of mind ruminating on the miseries of the human race Towser, his faithful hound, lay on the hearth with his jowl on his paws, ah sorbing the heat in blissful son. nolence. Presently the master groaned opened one eye for second and tapped on the floor with his tail. A silence. Then said the master: 'Houn'. man am Oo'n to trouble as de spa'ks fly upwa'd.'
 Towser shook off slumber for mo sympathy by a steadfast look, then settled down to dreams again. An. other silence. Then the master in- spired to fuller expression of his woes by the response of his auditor, con- tinued:
 'Houn', dis y 'arth am a place O trouble an a vale O tears; de debbil he roams, up an down like hongry lion seekin' who he may devour; de ways of de weeked am shorely full O tribbalation"
 This time Towser's nose was llrted toward the ceiling and long, lugubrl ous woo-o-ow-woo woo! expressed his acquiescence to his masters senti ments.
 "Yes," was MT. Bass's conclusion, "emotions are contagious; all tbat 1s needed is proper leader"

Next Years Corn Clubs

The increased corn production in
Alabama this year and last year, as
compared with the yield of four or
five years ago, shows what can be
done and indicates very clearly what
will be done in 1914 by the enterpris-
ing farmers in various parts of the
state. All progressive farmers are
now thoroughly aroused to the i'm
portance of scientific and business
like methods Corn, hay and the minor
crops will add rapidly to the wealth of
Alabama.
Sixteen counties failed to comply
with the requirements of the de-
partment of agriculture and in
dustries in the recent corn club con-
tests, and on that account the COM
mittee on awards declined to allow
these counties prizes AS told by The
Age-Herald's Montgomery correspon-
dent, the requirements make 1t neces-
sary for every county to produce more
than so bushels of corn on single
acre before becoming eligible to re-
ceive prize. Every one of the 16
counties failing to take a prize this
year is noted for it's rich soil and its
high order of farmers
1t may be set down as certainty
that next year there will be prize-win-
ners in every county of Alabama.

of the Manchu dynasty? The present
in Chinese history is no time for half
measures, and Yuan certainly is no
man to employ them.
Yuan is an astute politician and no
higher testimonial of his skill could
be given than to point out the fact
that he was the last premier of the
Manchus and the first President of
the republic.
Yuan's principle trouble right now
seems to be DIR. Sun Yat Sen, who is, In
the main, responsible for the revolu-
tion which unseated the Manchu dy-
nasty. The doctor is causing Yuan to
lose sleep. Notwithstanding the fact
that DR.. Sun has fled the republic he
has continued to work against the
established government with more or
less success.
But Yuan has the ability to meet
all emergencies and the power to en-
force his demands; or if he has not he
will take it. China is extremely fortu
nate to have such a man in the Presi
dents chair, man of action, an edu-
Gated man, a fearless man, instead of

THE SIMS pill.
From the Indianapolis News.

From the indianapolis News
Albert A. Nicholson. professor In the
department of physics at the University
of Chicago, is submitting to measure
ment of periodic distor lions of the earth's
surface caused by the sun and moon. Pro-
fessor Nicholson, whose discoveries won
for him the Nobel prize for physics in 1907
is doing this solar work at the Lake
Geneva (Wis) observatory. He has
found that the rigidity of the earth Is
virtually that of steel, and that the sur
face of solid earth Is distorted by the
action of the sun and moon about one-
fourth as much as water The chief APP
paratus for the experiments is a tube 500
long and eight inches in diameter. half
filled with water, and sunk six feet in the
ground. AS the sun and moon draw the
water to one end of the tube or the
other, the difference in the level is meas
ured with instruments of extreme deli
cacy. The average change In level between
the two ends has been found to. be one
thousandth of an inch. The accuracy OF
the measurement has been carried to l
per cent of this fraction, degree never
before achieved.

China's Astute Politician

President Yuan Shi Kai of China
has not found it any easy task to be
the first President of the baby repub-
lie of the world. Yuan is having a hard
time between interior dissession and
exterior interference in the affairs of
the Flowery Kingdom.
Yuan Shi Kai is without doubt the
strongest man in China and best fitted
for the office he holds. 1t is quite
probable that with any other man in
the executive chair China would have
been upon the rocks ere this. Of course
Yuan's actions are not always up to
western ideas, but he is not governing
a western country; laws which work
well in the United States would bring
immediate trouble in China and Yuan
is far too shrewd man to make the
mistake of Madero.
1t has been charged that Yuan is
despotic, that he has usurped the
power of the Parliament, that China
is republic only in name. Grant all
that and will not matters be infinitely
better than under the misgovernment

A DEPARTMENT STORE cABBY

From the Washington Star.
The department store is as dislnter-
ested or almost as disinterested as
the Marseilles cabby."
The speaker was an advertising ex-
pert of New York. He continued:
"Yes, even to its own loss the de-
partment store puts it's patrons inter
est ahead of it's own interest, and thus
it resembles the Marseilles cabby. who,
one hot August afternoon, was ae-
costed by lady tourist:
"Cabby, she said, drive me to the
shore. | want to Sc the sea-
Ito see the sea-? said the man. To
the sea on a hot, blazing Afternoon like
this? Now, that's very foolish. YOU'D
get all dust and sand. No, don't go
to the. sea, ma'am. Go back to your
room at the hotel and take a nice lit
tie nap That will do you lot more
good"
