singing Of Wires Laid to Tremors,

Singing Of Wires Laid to Tremors.
A new theory of the singing of tele-
graph wires has been offered by Pro
fessor Field. No explanation yet given
seems to have been perfectly satisfac-
tory, and the suggestion is now made
that the sounds represent minute
earth vibrations, which are trans
mitted TO the wires through the poles.
These vibrations depend largely on
varying air pressure. The song of the
wires. therefore, may give good baro-
metric signals, sharp sound indicat-
ing that change is close at hand,
while low humming shows that pres
ent conditions may continue day, or
perhaps two.

slogan, BACK TO tarn, hau w W
changed to stay on the Farm"
During the last decade or two, thou
sands upon thousands of young men
left the farm for what they deemed
easy jobs in the city. Lots OF farm
ers' daughterss also left the farm
house kitchen. So that to find way
to enforce the latter slogan, Is Ger
tainly modern idea. and one which
must be enforced not by arbitrary
methods, but by ways and means that
will lessen the drudgery of farm work,
for either husband and wife, son or
daughter.
On many farms It is still custom
airy for the housewife to split the
wood she needs in her kitchen stove.
In such homes nobody needs to ask
the question why the daughter left
for the city, to work at loom in a
silk mill for 81 or SIS per week. Her
mothers wrinkles and her growly ex-
preston can answer this question.
On the other hand, the farmer who
woodpile always replenished, the
wood chest filled every night for the
next days necessities, and who pro-
vides gas stove to iron the clothes
in summer days, when the ordinary
wood fire would make a furnace out
of the farmhouse kitchen, is the
identical farmer who can enforce the

GERARD FACES DELICATE SITUA
TON.

When Judge Gerard, the new
American Ambassador reaches Berlin
next month. he will find that a deli
cate situation exists in Germany re-
garding the attitude toward Germany
on the tangle between the United
States and Mexico.
The Germans are watching the
situation with the keenest interest,
but as usual when the United States
is confronted with a serious problem
or with a difference with another ma
ton a good portion of the press
manifests distinct GOODNESS toward
the United States and shows an in
clination to question and doubt the
American motives. They also in
sinuate that there are Interior mo-
tives behind the movement.
| Certain Liberal and Conservative
pan-German newspapers are now
strongly inclined to create the i'm
preston in Germany that American
capitalists arc trying to embroil the
1.-TWO countries for the sole purpose OF
tannexing Mexico. 1t is recognized
THAT German interests in Mexico

BE NOT QUICK TO JUDGE.

A Chicago girl, seventeen years
old, caused the arrest of a publisher
on charges that he lured her into
white slavery. Not long ago two
little girls told stories that resulted
in the arrest of prominent Chicago
business man. Last year Gary man,
the father of several children, was
arrested as suspect in the death Of
littel Mary Grubba.
1t later developed that the Gary
man had no connection with the
crime. Yesterday the newspapers
printed that the girl who accused the
publisher never saw him before, that
| her stories were self-confessed lies
| and that they resulted from an
abnormal imagination. In the case
of the Chicago business man who was
accused of Turing the small girls
away the truth was revealed when
these girls again became missing and
then were located visiting with rela-
ltives. Their accusations, upon in
Ivestigation, turned out to be a tissue
Iof Nlsehoods. Here are two cases Of
psychological mystery that extend to
the strange workings of the human
mind.
In these three instances great
harm was done TO three innocent

THOSE BAD CROSSINGS.

If the grade crossing accident
which cost five lives at ST. John on
Sunday evening had occurred on the
Ridge Road at Highland the moral
responsibility for it would rest to
some extent on the people there who
opposed a viaduct.
1t does not require the power
and vision of prophet to say conf
dentally that one of these days an
accident will occur there. There
are two of a score of bad crossings
in Lake county. Something can be
done to lessen the danger on most
'of them. The county authorities
were ready to build viaduct at
Highland but some of the property
owners for selfish purposes opposed
the improvement saying it would
spoil the land near the viaduct. As
a result the Ridge road makes dit
to cross the tracks coming out OF
deep cuts.
The removal of shrubbery in the
lneighborhood of dangerous turns in
auto highways is matter for which
public officials and property owner:
should he held responsible.
| One of the worst crossings in the
county because of neglected shrub
berry is the Erie intersection ON Ridg'
road near Sharpshooters park. Th'
Monon crossing south of the GENE
terry in Hammond is also dangerou
for this reason. Considerable i'm
lprovement could be made at TIL
lStallbaum corner with an axe and
few hours work.

NEEDY ADMITS IT.

Medill Mccormick, owner and
manager of the Chicago Tribune, and
bearing honored names at both ends
of his patronymic admits that he was
thrown off a Pullman car at SYRIA
cuse, n. Y, and took a ride in a
patrol wagon, clad only in his
pajamas, for disorderly conduct. 1t
appears says the Fort Wayne News
that he had a fight with the porter,
who was not Jack Johnson. but who
managed to take care of himself
Medill scorns the idea that he was
drunk and relates that he had mere
Iy taken a dose of bromide, which
instead of putting him to sleep, made
him nervous and irritable. This Is a
pretty plight for one of the angels
of the bull moose crusade last yeal

REVERSAL OF FORM.

Scranton. Pa, the place where the
iron enters mems souls, furnishes an
other instance that the old order of
things is changing and the world is
upside down in spots.
Suing for divorce a Scrantonite,
and that of course means several
times o millionaire, complains that
his wife won't let him go to church,
on one occasion threatening him with
Ia revolver while he was dressing to
proceed to the sanctuary.
This is opposed to all precedent.
Up to this time woman has usually
had to use pleading, percussion, ca
jolery, firearms and things to get her
husband to church and when there
work like a hired girl to keep him
awake.
| The change is as inexplicable rs
the shift in the course of the Gull
Stream, and if there's a probe not
working it might be utilized on this
great psychological mystery.

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug 2s--Gilbert
H Hendren. head of the state board of
accounts. is preparing a book for dis
tribution among all of the public off,
Gals of the state which will be OF
great value. In this book he will set
out all of the fees that are collected
by every county officials. and 1t will
show just what fees belong to the offi
cial and Just what fees he must turn
into the county treasury. When the
matter is all prepared for the book 1t
will be submitted to the attorney gem
eral for his approval. and after he ap-
proves it the book will be printed and
made ready for distribution.
This book will be inestimable value
to the county officials, for 1t will re-
move all doubt as to just what fees
they are entitled to and thereafter
there cannot be any question about
whether fees have been retained by an
official legally or illegally. This has
been one of the greatest handfcaps to
the work of the public accounting de-
partment, for in many instances when
field examiners reported that fees had
been illegally retained or paid out the
officials charged generally came back
with the statement that 1t had always
been done that way. There has never

fees that were established up to that
and he has also read the acts of the
Legislature since that time to get any
changes or amendments that have been
made. In this way, he says. he is sure
to find everything and miss nothing.
Mr.. Hendren says the book will set
out nothing except the fees as they
are fixed by the statutes and that it
will tell just what the statutes say
about the disposition of the fees. He
says that when this is done the county
official will know just exactly what be-
longs to him and what belongs to the
county.
Mr. Hendren has issued instructions
to all of the ninety-eight field exam
liners now employed by the accounting
department that they will not be per-
mitted to drink intoxicating liquors
On this subject his letter says:
| Examiners should not drink intoxi-
eating liquors of any kind, for the rea-
son that. perhaps. a majority of the
county officers in the rural districts
| are radically dry men. and II one of
them smells intoxicants on the breath
of an examiner, either during. before
or after office hours. the prestige of the
iexaminer would Immediately vanish
and such examiner would no longer be
of valuable service to this department.
AS individuals we may do things about
which there could be no just criticism
lunder the law, but as servants of the
people our conduct should be exemplary
,and we should not do anything that
may cause criticism and lose the con-
ffdence of the people"
Another hint as to his policy IS con-
tained in the paragraph which says:
$50 long the examiner attends
tsrictly to his business and becomes
. more and more efficient. he is certain
to retain a steady job. Otherwise. he
. will be relieved from duty
Further on in the same latter to the
field examiners is the following:
RI please remember that you should
5 take no part whatever in local matters
/ of any kind in the various communi-
$ ties where you may be conducting
( examinations, such as wet and dry cleo
lions. etc. and this has been done cy
l examiners in the nast."
n Mr. Hendren also informs the exam
S iners that it is his policy to assign
s them to work as close to their homes
s as possible, SO that they can at leas
e spend Sunday with their families.
