Fatal Street Music

To street musicians was due the un-
timely death of one of Engand's fore
most humorists. John Leech. Tho
strain of ceaseess application to his
work rendered I.eech abnormally SEN
sitive to street noises of all descrip.
tons. and street music in particulay
drove him frantic. The organ grinders,
1t is said. knew of his enmity toward
them and played within earshot of his
studio simply to plague him. In let.
ter to Mr.. Bass. NJ. T.. who was franz
ing bill for the suppression of street,
noises. Mark Lemon, the editor oe,
Punch. declared that beyond a doubt
Leech's ultimately fatal malady. angz-
ma pectoris. or breast pang. was due
to the disturbance of his nervous sys--
tenn. caused by the continual visits Of
street bands and organ grinders.-Lon-

An Interesting Illusion,

A curious and interesting effect may
be produced in the following simple
manner:
Take sheet Of paper or thin card
board about five inches square and roll
it into tube. with one end just large
enough to fit around the eye and the
other end somewhat smaller Hold
the tube between the thumb and first
finger of the right hand-do not grasp
the tube with the whole hand-and
place the larger end Of the tube close
against the right eye. With the left
hand place book against the side Of
the tube. If both eyes are now kept
open there will appear to be hole
through the book. and it will appear
that objects are seen through this hole
and not through the tube. The effect
Is even more odd if the left hand in
stead of book is held against the
tube, when the hole will appear
through the center of the hand.

NAMING A CITY.
How II Came About That SedaIia Was
Not Called SedviIle.


The city of Sedalia was both found
ed and named by General George R.
Smith, who was distinguished citizen
of Missouri. He was Virginian by
birth and u Kentuckian by upbringing.
AS young man he came to Missouri
and settled at Georgetown, which is
three miles north of the present city of
Sedalia. He was prominent both in
politics and business and was instru-
mental in the building Of the Missouri
Pacific railway from st. Louis to Kan
sas City during the fifties of the last
century.
He could not induce his fellow towns
men to make the necessary effort to
have the railway pass through George
town, and, believing that that would
condemn the village to decay, he bought
large tract of land beside the railway
from which, in course of time, has
grown the fourishing city of Sedalia.
When it came to furnishing a name
/, for the new settlement General Smith
determined to christen it Sedville, in
honor of his younger daughter Sarah,
whose pet name in the family circle
was "Sed." One of his friends, Josiah
Dent of st. Louis, suggested that
willie" was commonplace termina-
ton and that Sedalia would be more
beautiful and unusual name. General
Smith approved of the suggestion, and
Sedalia came officially into being when
he and his family. the first inha bitants
of the new town, moved thither in

POWER or THE GYROSCOPE.
Widespread Use of What Was at First
Regarded as a Mere Toy,

Tinkering in his machine shop to de-
sign novel Christmas present for one
OF his boys, Elmer A. Sperry a few
years back stumbled ON to half dozen
new applications of what had previous
ly been regarded as a merely inter-
esting mechanical curiosity, the gyro-
scope.
Now his inventions will keep ship
from rocking and the passengers from
seasickness, an airship from air pock-
cts and furnish the only true compass
that the mariner, guide OF air pilot
knows. Making the gun deck of bat
tleship as steady gun mount as may
be had on land, the gyroscope eventual
ly will double the efficiency of the
navy, it is said. Anything that needs
stability, excluding possible Central
American governments and street cars,
needs gyroscope. Mr.. Sperry told
Detroit audience.
The use of submarines and airships
has been made possible largely through
the gyroscope. Before the stabilizers
were pat aboard the undersea boats,
because of their cigar-like shape, rolled
SO frightfully that no man could live In
them. With one Of the little "tops"
aboard the Deutschland can ride as
evenly as. mammoth liner on a
smooth sea. The principal advantage
to airships has been in the gyroscope
compass, which possesses the advan-
tage of always pointing north An ordi-

tails of camps and enrolment blanks
will be mailed to those desiring them
as soon as the government prepares
them.
'The only way this large number of
men can be obtained will be through
the active. hearty help and active co.
operation of each and every training
camp man. We feel that there is
peculiar duty resting upon all training
camp men to do what they can, each
according to his individual power and
