THE SIGNAL,
Mt. Vernon, KY.
Dear Sir
1t may be of interest to the
Signal to know that the writer is
the owner of an old Cremona vio-
lin. This violin was made some
240 years ago by Nicolaus ANA
thus, an Italian violin maker, and
has within it the following Latin
inscription "Nicolaus Amatius
Hieronimi Fill Antoni Nepos
fecit in Cremopem A. d. 1916"
By some authorities Amatius
is considered the maker of the
worlds best violins, while by 9TH
ers, his SON, the maker of the
Stradivarius," is claimed as the
champion. However this may be,
it IS a we'll known fact among
proficient violinist that the Gre
mona possesses that rare beauty,
tenderness and volume of tone
that no other make holds, and in
the hands of a master it is capa-
ole of holding whole audiences
spell-bouud. To the Famous Old
Master such a violin has no value
in dollars and cents but for COM
mercial convenience they range in
price from $4,000 to $4,000.
According to tradition this vio-
lin has been in the Bryant family
since the Revolutionary War; taxi
en-, it is claimed, from a Royal
prisoner. 1t is in an excellent
state of preservation.

EXCEPTIONAL CASE
 IN FAIRBANKS COURT

In district court this morning Judge Charles E. Bunnell will render his decision in two cases which, according to his statement are not thoroughly covered by law says the Fairbanks Citizen. They are the cases of Alfred L. Woods of Rampant, and 5. Bal las, of Ruby, both of whom have been ordered committed to the for the insane, but who were brought into court Sat urday morning under writs of habeas corpus in order that testi- mony showing that they are not insane could be introduced.
 When the taking of testimony in the case against Woods was started, Assistant District Attor- ney Reed IIeilig interposed an objection on the part of the gov ernment holding that the court has no jurisdiction in the matter, by reason of the fact that the men have been committed to the san ltarium in accordance with the

A. person in the line of fire of moue,n gun nealS dlstlnclIy two successive aetOnatlOnS. hccord- ing to ms distance these may or niay not Le accompanied by a Continued WnlSlnng or roaring sound. l he two noises as Is noted by Colonel Agnus of the Trench army, i'll the kevue Scientinque, are familiar to target keepers III rine matches, WHO usua.ly suppose them to De caus- ed respecl.seiy by the discharge ot the gun and the impact ot the bullet on the target or on the ground. l his is incorrect, Colonel AgnuS tells us; the first noise IS tiie ulScnal ge, put the second IS due to alstul Dance ot the. air by the bullet. When the prOjectlle starts, 1t IS moving taster than sound. It slows up, and when 1t has gone about a mile and half the sound-Wave begins to gain on 1t and finally passes It. 10 these facts are que the phenomena of the bullets noise, as is shown by Col. Agnus in mathematical analysls. In the first place, the two noises will be heard only with moaern high-pow aered wea- pons, whose bullets move faster than sound. If the observer IS nearer than 300 feet, the two sounds merge into one. Farther away they are heard farther and farther apart, and at about mile and a half--the point where the velocity slows down to that of sound, a continuous whistle or roar is heard, first between the two detonations, and farther away, lasting longer and longer. Of course if the projectile is a shall it's subsequent explosion adds other nolses. In closing, Agnus makes some interesting applications. He writes:
 One thing that has always struck the attentive reader is to find in all conscientious narra
 tives of the fall of meteors, with out exception, the mention of the formidable detonation. In gener- al, it is stated that the bolide ex- ploded-that it burst with ter rife noise. And if it is found lat CT in field, it is discovered that there was no explosion at all, and often that it buried itself in

A NOVEL PACKING CASE.

An unusual consignment of gold from China was received re gently at the assay office in New York city, says the New York Times, consisting of single bar of fine gold worth about 5000 in a barboo covering, It came from he agency of the Guaranty Trust Company in Shanghai and was credited to that institution. The hollow of a length of bamboo was utilized as a natural safety carrier for the 4-inch bar, one end being sealed by the joint and the other with wax. The valuable package came by registered mail. There have been numerous shipments of gold from China to this country this year, but most of them have been directed to the San Francis 70 mint.

law. His objection was over ruled and an exception allowed by Judge Bunnell, who here stat ed that he hoped the district at torney's office would take the matter to the supreme court on a writ of error.
 All of the testimony introduced tended to show that neither of the two men are mentally unbaI- anced at present. Several phy- sicians testified to the effect that neither is insane, and Ed Young, caretaker at the detention hospi- tai, testified to the fact tha, he has never seen an insane move from either of them.-Fairbanks Citizen.

 Tn one of his stories-'From the Earth to the Moon'-Jules Verne, whose works properly fas- cinate all young people and are much liked by many of maturer age, gives different account of
 nings. At the moment when his
 projectile,' falling on the earth, plunges into the sea, he tells how there was a whistling heard in the farthest regions of the air, as- surning rapidly frightful inten- sity, when there suddenly appear ed huge meteor, which grew in size to the view until it buried

CHARLIE
 CHAPLIN
 CHAT TER 

Charlie Chaplin's daily working hours are from 9 a. m. to 5 80 p. m., and every day twelve million people see him on the screen at picture palaces throughout the world. He is a Londoner, born at Walworth in 1890, and all his re- lations were in the theatrical pro- fession. All his comedies are pro- duced under his own direction at Los Angeles, Cal, mostly by British players. Hundreds of women have proposed marriage to him, but he is a bachelor. Very fond of music, Charlie Chaplin can play almost any instrument, and is clever composer. Off the stage he is a good-looking young man, with curly hair and perfect teeth, and his feet are, in reality, small. When he was eight years of age he narrowly escaped being drowned. He fell into the water and, in an exhausted state, was saved by dog belonging to one of the Thames police. He is the only person in the world, except the American president, who has been granted free admission to all baseball matches in the United States.-Ex.

itself in the waves with deafen- ing roar.
 Thus, according to this author, we have first whistling, then appearance of the projectile, and finally the noise caused by its striking the water. Now, to speak only of the whistling, it is certain that this could not have been heard before the arrival of the projectile.
 Before writing this passage the author should have asked himself if he were representing the facts accurately; but he did not have at his disposal the ex- periences of the present war; he went ahead and told of what had happened from the romancer's standpoint rather than from that of the physicist" ."-Ex.
