except that the vibrant note is caused
by a flame instead Of a current Of Al,

In recent tests in his laboratory M,1
Pyne proved the practicability Of lii
invention with single unit, or octave

Take instead a burner Of brass about
two inches wide, like those on gasoline
lamps. This is supplied from quar-
ter-inch pipe.
The supply of gas is registered by a.
ordinary screw valve, and a key bel
tween this valve and the burner con.
trolls the length of the note. Beside
the aperture Of the burner, which y
about 1872 Of an inch wide, Is master
light, which burns constantly to ignite
the gas when the note is struck. The

Over the burner and master light q
tin tube four feet long and four inches

That Will allow 1t to vibrate freely. The
adjustment of the tube is similar to-
that of the pipes of an organ. The
burner is placed about one-fourth Of

Booker Washington, accompanied
by a company Of rs other educated
colored men, has recently made a
visit to larger centers of population
In Louisiana. The coming of the Wis
itors was widely advertised in ad-
vance, and Negroes gathered in large
numbers to attend the meetings held.
Some journeyed ten, twenty and even
forty miles-on mule back, in buggy,
In wagon. At Shreveport, on the west
ern border of the state, ten thousand
gathered principally to hear Mr..
Washington. He was the chief speak
er and principal attraction at all
points. White citizens of prominence
lent encouragement to the meetings
by their presence. Booker Washing
ton gave wise and wholesome counsel
to both races. In talking to the whites
he reminded them that it is better to
educate Negroes than to take care Of
criminals; that Louisiana paid too
high a compliment to Negro children
by assuming that a Negro child could
get a satisfactory education by CIV.
ing him only three or four months
schooling in the year; that the nation
hears too much about lynchings and
racial difficulties and too little about

RICHES FROM OCEAN
lananese Fishing Industry Is
Enormous.
Easily the Leading Natlo" IN Wv
World In This Respect-Annua'
Value Of Water PRODUCES
Reaches Large Figure.

1apan Is said to be the leading nsn'
ing nation, not in the actual '"'oo
Of it's fish products, for in 'that re-
enect several other nations excel H.
hut in the number of persons VINO
make their living by fishing, in inc
proportion of fishers to the rest OF
the population, in the relative lmpor'
lance of fisheries in the domestio
economy, in the ingenuity and skill
of the people in devising fishing ap'
paratus, in preparing fish and in the
zeal shown by the government IN pro-
noting the interests OF the hsni's
population.
The islands comprising Japan stretch
diagonally from north east to south-
west, between two and three Thousand
miles, giving great range OF climate
and consequently of waters from al
most tropical to almost arctic. Inc
islands are mostly long and mario"
and at no part is the interior too lar
from the sea to allow of the easy
Transportation of fresh fish. Wlthln
a few miles of the coast in many
places are deep parts of the sea IN
which breed inexhaustible supplies OF
deep sea fish, while the bank and top
feeding sorts swarm about the shores
in countless schools.
1t Is estimated that one person IN
twenty in the entire empire is more
or less of a fisherman, and fish appear
in some form on the table of every
Japanese family daily, if not at every
meal. The annual value Of water prod
ucts is in excess of s30,000,000. Half
a million boats are engaged in fishing,
of which $4,000 are more than thirty
feet long. Almost million men are
professional fishermen, and 100000
more give part of their time to fishing
and the rest to farming or other pur-
suits. Only about 100000 men are, 1t
appears, so employed in the United
States.
A thousand species of fish have al
ready been identified in Japanese wa
tiers, and almost every one of them Is
edible One of the commonest, most
wholesome and most sought after is
the shark, which the western people
have never learned to eat, but which
a fishery expert of this government
who has visited Japan pronounces ex'
cellent. Dogfsh, the common mem.
Der of the shark family along the north
Atlantic coast, would never be per.
mitted to 60 uncaught in Japan. Even
the octopus is table delicacy there.
Much fish is eaten raw by the Japa.
nese, a fact that is said to be much
more easily understood by Americans
after they have tried raw mackerel OF
other fish dipped in the delicious
sauces the japanese employ in this
relation.
The prominence Of Japanese fish
cries is due to the encouragement OF
the government Officials have been
sent to the United States as we'll as
to Europe to study the methods in
vogue, and there is at Tokyo an i'm
perial fisheries institute, a school with
which no other in the world can com
pare.

The club was organized five years

these fell and a double wedding an
