DRAWS MUSIC FROM A SAW
New Yorker Gets Startling and Pleas
ing Effects by Using the Tool
as Violin.

The conventional saw has recently
appeared in a new rolo-namely, as
musical instrument. Indeed, one Of
the leading novelties of a current New
York musical revue is the musical car
penter who uses his saw as q violin.
After protracted experimentation
and untiring practice, sam Moore of
New York city has succeeded in get
ting very agreeable music from ordin-
airy carpenters saw, according to the
Scientific American He holds the saw
handle between his legs, holds the tip
of the saw in one hand and works the
usual violin bow with the other. The
vibrating steel blade emits soft, ap-
pealing notes, the pitch of which is
varied by changing the curvature Of
the blade.
All sorts of queer effects can be
obtained by the adept manipulation
of the blade; in fact, the music de-
rived by this means can hardly be de-
scribed. If anything, it resembles the
human voice; then again it has the
queer wall of the Hawaiian Ukulele.
All In all, the effect is startling and
pleasing.

New VeoetabIa lvorv

A recent number of the French bull
letin of the colonial office gives a de-
scription of q new form of vegetable
ivory, which can be used in European
industry in place of the coroso. This
new substance is produced by the kerr
mel of an edible fruit growing upon a
palm of the upper Senegal-Niger ter
ritory, the Borassus ethiapicum. The
kernel is seven or eight centimeters
long and five centimeters broad, thus
permitting the cutting of balls or
plates of considerable size to be used
in marquetry, or the making of domi-
noes, piano keys, buttons, etc. The ker-
mel becomes extremely hard when
thoroughly dried. AS proof of this 1t
Is stated that 1t is at the present mo-
ment being used as building stones for
making of the houses of native chiefs,
while it Is expected that the future
cathedral at Dakar will have tinted
pillars constructed of these same ker.

Interesting Newspaper Changes

Announcement is made by S.
II. Glover, owner and editor of
the Richmond Evening Journal,
of the acquisition by that paper
of the business, good will and
title of the Richmond Virginian,
so far as these can be conveyed,
and of his purpose to make the
Journal a seven-day paper by
publishing a Sunday morning
edition. The Virginian, which
had been esta blished ten years
ago as the organ of the prohibi-
ton interests in Virginia. had
rendered continuous and efficient
service to that cause for a de-
cade, but at the time it was sold
and discontinued it was not being
proftably operated and never had
been.
An interesting phase of the
Journals announcement was that
in acquiring the business and
good will Of the Virginian, it
would continue the policy of that
paper. By this move the Journal
which has grown and developed
on it's merits, will be strengthen
ed by winning many of the snb-
scri bers and advertisers of the
Virginian. The paper will not
be an organ of the prohibition
interests to the extent that the
Virginian has been, but will be
a newspaper uphC lding the status
quo i'll the matter of national and
state prohibition.
Mr.. Clover, the chief owner and
the versatile and brilliant editor
of the Journal, came to Richmond
some years ago from California
and acquired control Of that pa
per, and since that time lie has
igreatly strengthened it in every
respect. AS literary publica-
ltion its standard is about the
highest of any Virginia news
paper and as newspaper it is
admirably covering the local
field. The progress made by the
journal in the face of COMPETE
ton with a strong and brilliantly
conducted afternoon paper al
ready established is a testimony
OF the worth of the aspirant for
public favor in the afternoon
field.
/ We would express our congrat-
ulations to the Journal upon its
first Sunday issue, which is a
highly creditable one and one
which gives promise of liberal
patronage anyille Register.

GRAPHITE,

The purest graphite found In 1the
United States is at Ticonderoga, N. Y.
1t yields 900 per cent pure carbon.
Some few years ago rich graphite
mine was discovered in Texas. Years
before a ranchman had bought the
land for So per acre, constantly re-
GREETING that he bought such a rocky
place, never dreaming that those
rocks contained fortune until New
York man offered him $4,000 for
rs acres of it. He closed the deal
quicker than the New Yorker could
wink. He still has 1, 125 acres Of the
same kind of rock-plus his cattle,
and the same old hole in the Colo
RADIO river from which he extracts
catfish.
Graphite is also mined In Bavaria,
Bohemia, Norway, New Zealand and

Relief viii make to the country in
February for funds to support its
work among the starving peoples Of
that stricken land. To the Wash
tngton meeting he wrote:
'Advices and information coming
from the Near East cannot be doubt
ed. There is great actual suffering
and famine. These people, recently
become independent and released
from bitter thraldom, cannot sup
port themselves. And the Christian
and common instincts of humanity
which have prompted the people Of
the United States during the last
two years to relieve the distress
and needs, especially Of the Near
East must not be allowed to grow
cold and be diminished.
Il hope we shall all unite in this
present emergency and be able to
collect sufficient funds to enable
these peoples to live and work until
next summer brings them perma-
nent relief and subsistence. I call
upon all to respond generously to
the appeal now being made and
trust that the committee viii be
