A Theory Born of the Patter of the
 Raindrops on the Roof.
 Since Mitteiburgcr, the German mu- sician, while sleeping under a roof of cedar shingles in Philadelphia, In 1754. was entranccd With the resonance pro duced by raindrops failing on the shin- gles, until the present time, wood has held an indiSputablc place in the man. ufacture of musical instruments. Nit telburgcr's first work under his theory that wood was more musical than metal was when be built pipe organ the first in Amcrica-witE the pipes of southern white cedar, the same wood which had charmed his ear while he listened to the rain on the roof.
 The superlative quality of spruce as material for sounding boards is due to the long. straight, regular ibers. of which the wood is composed. The mi- croscope reveals what the unaided eye cannot see. The minute cells forming the wood are extremely lOng-full one hundred times as long as their diam etcr meaSurcmcnt-and each cell or fiber is stretched like a taut string. Although these cells, all lying length wise of the wood, are packed and stretched closely. side by side, there is room for vibration when they are struck
 All woods possess this quality or resonance, but in vastly different de- grees. Some are dull and nearly dead, others emit tones quick and sharp, and still others give out sounds that continue a long time and gradually die away as if vanishing in the distance. Spruce k of the latter. kind.
 Wood possesses resonance, metal has ring. That may not wholly conform to dictionary definitions, but 1t classi- fies the two materials pretty accurate ly. The singing of a tightly stretched telephone wire across an open field in the autumn wind is a most pleasing melody to one who has an ear for the delicacy of the simpler sounds. But how much softer and melodious that singing wire becomes if the ear is pressed against the telephone pole so that the vibrations come through the wood to reach the ear, instead of di- rectly from the wire.-Hardwood Rec ord

Madness Story of the
Declaration of
independence

The attitude Of England had caused
great change of feeling in America.
At first the colonists wanted re-
dress of grievance. They next began
to fight for their rights as English
men. But when the king called them
"Rebels" and sent troops to put down
the rebellion" feeling grew toward
I independence.
Virginia instructed her delegates in
congress to vote for independence,
and on June Z, 1875, Richard Henry
Lee of Virginia offered resolution
that became famous: Resolved, that
these United Colonies are, and of right
ought to be, free and independent
states: that they are free from all
allegiance to the British crown, and
that all political connection between
them and the state of Great Britain
is. and ought to be, totally dissolved"
| No vote was taken until July 2,
when Lees resolution Of Independence
was adopted. To Jefferson fell the
duty of writing the Declaration OF In
! dependence, and it was adopted by
, the continental congress July 4, IT'S.
The Liberty Bell,' in the old state
house in Philadelphia, rang out the
Joyous tidings to the people.
By the Declaration Of Independence
the United Colonies became the
United States, but it took five more
wears of war to convince the king OF
England and their congress Of this
fact.
Yours truly,

planned Declaration of indie

Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Frank

ton was mainly given to him.
July 4, 1776, was the day appointed
to announce the fact to the world.
1t was read to the people In the

On the bell at the state house was
written the words, proclaim liberty

the glad words of liberty and freedom
Bonfires blazed on the hilltops, people
wept and shouted for Joy, and every
one was happy throughout the land.
