' remarked a gentleman i who has had long experience in the talking machine business. “As a mat ter of fact, no scientist has ever been able to explain exactly why the thing talks. They say a ‘ inplicate vibration’ is set up, but when you pin them down they all are obliged to admit that they den t know why the operation of the transmitter should produce any such result. Then, again, the difficulty in re cording certain tones lias always been a puzzle. “The most improved form of the ma chine has, as you know, an extremely large cylinder, nearly four times the size of the o-dinary one, and for some unknown reason it very materially in creases the volume of sound. It would seem, then, to be a logical inference that the bigger the cylinder the louder the tone, and, proceeding on that theory, a very bright young electrician of this city started the other day to build an instrument that was really gigantic. “He put it together without much trouble and made an experimental cyl inder nearly a foot in diameter. I was present when it was tested. Every part f the machine worked perfectly, and a oeantifully engraved record was secur ed, but whe-p the transmitter was at tached we were astonished to find that the sound was barely audible. As near ly as we could figure it out the tone was magnified up to a certain point by making the cylinder larger, but beyond that the process was reversed, and it was progressively diminished. Queer, wasn’t it?”—New OrleansTimes-Dem ocrat. THE FRENCH MENAGE. Complaint That It In Not the Model Claimed For It. An English writer who has evidently suffered inveighs rather severely against the long extolled thrift of the French housekeeper, which, if it be thrift, is, according to his notion, pernicious economy. He considers the meager messes served and reserved until the last scrap is consumed which make up the course dinner of the French people most unsatisfactory and far from ap petizing. “It has been said,” he quotes, “that a French housekeeper will serve a grilled chicken foot, making it a sub stantial course.” This he denies—not the service, but the substantial part of it. Ab to the soup of the provincial French home, he asserts it is not a thing to be described by the uninitiated, and it is certainly not meant for a deli cate palate. It tastes like hot water in which quantities of cabbage have been boiled. “Then,” he goes on to affirm, “the only dish of meat will often con sist of that which has been used in the making of the soup.” This testimony is borne out by Amer ican travelers, who get very tired of soup meat as a dinner dish. For the flavoring and finishing of a dish the French are doubtless unsurpassed, but the allegation that the sauce is made more important than the substantial an<l that the garnishing takes prece dence over the dish it surrounds is not without considerable foundation. The well known story of the French cook who won a wager by serving a boot heel scraped and stewed and simmered and finally served with an entrancing sauce is a good illustration of much French cooking. < eii nun Taking In Chinn. In china census methods are simple. They hi t have much trouble to take a eens there. When the timef<>r mak ing a count of the families and their individual members comes around, the head of each house is compelled by law to write on a slip of paper the number | of individuals living with him and the I name of each person. The authorities I lay particular stress upon correct spell- I ing, and there is a severe penalty at- I tached to any misrepresentation either as to the number of persons or their names. This obviates in the beginning the wrestling with unpronounceable names, which helps to make life inter esting for the American census taker, and reduces the enumeration of the population of a Chinese city to a very simple process. SengitK e Clock*. A Lcwist'-n (Me.) merchant has in his store an old fashioned clock which is peculiarly sensitive. It sometimes stops, and if any one steps into the store or goes by it will start again, and if a horse steps on a certain spot in the street it will start. A man who happened to notice it and who had one like it himself said that his would not run after he had started his furnace in the fall. In the spring, after he ceased to keep a fire, it would run all right. Great Lover* of Water. The Siamese are more devoted to the ~’ater than any other nation in the world. They are nearly always bath ing, generally with their clothes on, and they never go anywhere by land if > they can possibly go by water. The ; streets of Bangkok are like those of I Yenice, and the inhabitants say that . their idea of paradise would be a town ! with canals wiiere there were currents in both directions, so that the}’ might I be spared the effort of rowing. ,, —. Do Not Fear Sharks. In his book on Australia. Richard Se men declares that the prevailing ideas of danger from sharks are greatly exag gerated. Individual sharks may possi bly, he thinks, develop cannibal tastes, but such are exceptions, rarer than man eating tigers and crocodiles. The divers ami fishermen in the Torres strait, wiete big sharks abound, do not show the least fear of them. DIRECTIONS IN HAWAII. A a Im land Which H Vo \ orS !i, **outh. Fa* t or V enl. A isiters to II >n ohilu are often per i pb xixl to pet the j oint- i f the compass I lixcd tn their minds with reference to . streets and locations. They are still more perplexed to find nobody whe knows them and nobody who feels the need of know ing them. To the visitor, esjiecially from the Mississippi valley, where the congres sional surtey of publie lands has laid out everything fuiir square, so that directions and distane-es are always thought of in their relation to north, south, castor west, this is incomprehensible. But it does not take a very long resi dence here to learn that the points of the compass in the ordinary matters of direc tion are of very little practical use, and the prevailing system of indicating hs a tlon and direction, adapted from that us, d by the native and continuing the us*> of their nomenclature, is a very practical one and well adapted to condi tions. The Islands are all small and of volcanic origin. There is at least one main range of mountains on each island, though there may lie subsidiary ones. As is well known, mountains do not run with spe cial reference to the points of the compass. And the narrow valleys cut and eroded out of the volcanic mass and extending from the mountains to the sea itear still less apjireciable relation to them, so that if one were to establish the points of the compass with relation to any one of these valleys a quarter of a mile would bring him to another, w here he would have to take his bearings all afresh. But there are two objects he can never get out of sight of. These are the mountain and the sea. And on this fact the basis both of the nomenclature and of the system of direction rests. With relation to any point the two cardinal directions are toward the. mountain and toward the sea. Now, tile native Hawaiian terms for these “mauka, ” toward or in the direc tion of tiie mountain, and “makai” (pro nounced makhi, the i long), toward or in the direction of the sett. The topography of tiie country, a series of valleys extending from the mountain to the sea, and the feudal tenure under which land was held in the ancient day led to the division of the country intonar row strips or districts—moku, as the larger were called; ahupuoa, the next smaller, and ill, those still smaller, but all, with very few exceptions, extending from the seashore to the top of the moun tain. In this way the common people, re stricted to their own ilis, yet had access to the sea to fish and swim and ride the surf, to the mountain for firewood and build ing material and to the land between to cultivate taro. The boundaries of these dis tricts were all carefully defined from time immemorial and remain the same today. Moreover, each district had its name, and that, name remains. With the mountain above and the sea below and the narrow districts in succes sion, each with its boundaries and name well defined, the basis of the system and nomenclature of direction was complete. A given point or object is “mauka,” toward the mountain, or“makai,” toward the sea, in relation to another object or point, and it is “walhihl,” in the direc tion of the district of Waihihi, or “ewa, ” in the direction of the district of Ewa, for the other relations of direction. So that in Honolulu, for Instance, where no street runs north and south or east and west, and few streets run straight in any direction for any great distance, no one speaks of the north or south side of the street—no one can—nor of the east and west sides. But every street has a mauka and a makai side, or a waihihi and ewa side. So a particular corner may bo precisely and accurately de scribed as the mauka-waihihi corner or the makai-ewa. These terms are not only colloquial, but official. They are used in contracts, deeds, wills and statutes. They suit conditions and have grown out of thorn. —Honolulu Letter in Chicago Record. Great Horxeback Riding In Ken tucky. The championship long distance horse back rider of the world resides near Allens • ville. He is a prominent farmer and owns another farm one mile and three-quarters from where he resides. Every morning bright and early he rides to the bock of the farm where ho resides, a distance of one mile, and returns, making two miles. Then ho goes to his other farm, a distance lof one mile and three-quarters, and re | turns, niakin miles. Then he comes . to Allensville, a distance of miles, and , returns, making seven miles. That makes 112)A miles ho rides every morning. In ■ the afternoon he makes the same trips. After supper he goes to Allensville and re turns home, making in all 80 miles a day. lie does this every day in the year, mak ing 11,680 miles a year. Ho travels at least 720 miles a year fishing and hunt ing, making a grand total of 12.400 miles a year. He has done this steadily for 20 years, making in all 248,000 miles. He travels every two years a distance equal to the circumference of the earth, so if he had kept a straight course for the past 20 years he would have been around the world ten times. He is likely to keep this up for 20 years longer.—Elkton Times. EnormouN Mastodon Tusks. A pair of mastixlon tusks, the largest and most perfect specimens ever found.

They meas ure 108 inches each in length on the outer curve, 91 }j inches in the inner curve itid 18 inches in circumference about two feet from the base, 17 Y inches in the middle and 14L inches two feet, from the point. They weigh a little over 108 pounds each, or an aggregate of 207 pounds. The weight of the ordinary tusks is about 12 pounds a pair, and their market value from 50 to 60 cents a pound, recording to the size and clearness of ivory.
