That Occasional Chord.

There are chords In the human
heart, strange, varying things, which
are. only struck by accident; which
will remain mute and senseless to ap-
peals the most passionate and earnest,
and respond at last to the slightest
casual touch. In the most lnsensible
or childish minds there 10 some train

veal itself, as great truths have done,

Bible Was Put In,o Rhyme.

Versifcations, not only of the
Palms but Of the other books of the
Bible, were numerous in the sixteenth
century. One of the most prolific
versifers was William Hunnis, who,
under such fanciful titles as Seven
sobs of a Sorrowful Soul for Sin,"
"A Handful Of Honeysuckles," "a
HiVeful of Honey" etc., published a
number of rhyming versions of Gene

Sidered an indispensable part Of war

Sary and undesirable. The efnciency

BY its Killing capacity. The more
noise It makes the fewer it kills. The

Tins. The Maxim silencer ia intended
to make guns less noisy and more
useful In their specific, field OF activ.
ity. The quite noiseless gun would
be more desirable than the wholly
smokeless powder from the stand
point of the warrior. Now comes the
complaint that the military aeroplane
is deprived Of much OF its usefulness
because OF the tremendous noise Of
fits whirring propellers. At night when
the flyers dart about above the dark
ened camps, their presence Is adver.
tised to the ear. In daylight they have
to ny high to dodge bullets, at night
they migst woop down low enough

wise a noiseless acceptance. II noise

much more is It to be sought in hum
drum times OF peace? The business
OF war Is to destroy life, and noise In

to prolong life, and to make life hap
py, and noise Is 3 still greater handi-
cap. Cities are becoming saner. They
are, by ordinance, putting the muffer
on some kinds Of utterly senseless
clamor. But there remain many caco!
phonies that might easily be elimi-
mated. Anti-noise societies should find
cheer and comfort in the fact that
even war is falling in line for their re-
form. War would seem to be the final
stronghold Of noise, and silent battles

TROUBLE WITH THE FAT MAN
Conductor and Motorman Were Ad-
vlsed How TO Put Him OF the
Street Car.

A large man, weighing about 200
pounds, who had imbibed freely
enough to be somewhat unsteady on
his legs, boarded Brooklyn car the
otner evening The sudden starting of
the car caused him to fall against the
iron railing, and in SO doing he ripped
his coat. This unfortunate circum-
stance, combined with the laughter of
the passengers, angered him. and he
sullenly seated himself somewhere
about the center of the car.
Upon being asked by the conductor
for Fare, please" he refused to pay.
"If you don't pay will put you
off," said the conductor. h-
go ahead!" said the man.
The conductor attempted to make
good his threat, but as he was small
man, found it impossible to bulge
the two-hundred-odd pounds before
him. Then he called on the motor
man for assistance.
The motorman took hold on one
side, the conductor on the other They
half dragged, half lifted, the man
toward the door. All this time he did
not utter word. Suddenly, however,
he convulsed the other passengers
with the remark:
BE careful, now. No more force
than absolutely necessary"

During ten years the output of the
electric generating plants has nearly
trebled, but the number OF accidents
has remained the same An increase
would be naturally looked for, but
this seems to indicate that many of
the accidents of the earlier years were
due to ignorance or carelessness,
which is now avoided by greater
knowledge of the use Of electricity
