CANNON FOR PRESIDENT. House Gives Vent to its Feeling Against Roosevelt-Members Nominates Can non Speaker of ths House. The national house of represen tatives on Friday indulged itself in nearly seven hours of explanation. accusation and vituperative delul c-ntion. and then ordered. with only two negatve votes, an Imvestiga tii tal atiairs. so far as mmnbers Of the House are concern ed. by a special committee of seven members. to the appointed by the Sleaker. who. likewise. are to ex amine into the origin of ilristow re port so far as it concerns members of the House.

The climax of the day was reach ed when Representative William Alden Smith. of Michigan. con demned every executive department of the Government. for its arrogant treatment of the only branch of the Government in direct touch with the people of the country-the house of representatives-and shouted out the nomination of S-eaker Cannon for President of the United States. The house thundred its acquies vnce: members rose to their feet and fairly shrieked thir assent: democrats waved whatever was in their hands: i-epublicans pounded their desks. and the packed galler ies took up the enthusiasm and echoed the applause. When the Speaker bent low over his desk and wielded his gavel vigorously for order. his raps only served as an impetus for a fresh outbreak of en thusiasm. "Meanwhile "Mr. Smith's time ran out. and when he endeav ored to continue. in opposition to the ruling of the Speaker. he was urged on by cries u members on both sides. but without a'vail. STARS SING TO EARTH. Electrician Claims invention to Transit Music of Planets. Chicago Tribune. New York.-Mlusic from the the stars! captuvl melodies from the planets! Prof.-C. Albertson. an electrical engineer whose inventon of the so-cal!ed "magnet train", created a seisation in scientifc cir eles a few months ago. has invent %d an instrument which he believes is the keynote of ultimate communi caZon between the planets. Light rays are the media for bringing communications with the stars into Prof Albertson's hands. F-rom the newv invention the music and orignal melodies andl harmon ies of the stars may be extracted as well as others soundls no mortal ever heard before. Light rays iron' the sun. moon. or from the re motest visible .star in space may be so utilized as to play the music of mortal ecmposers in a fewv weeks. Albetrson says he wvill have his ex periments brought to such a de-. gree of perfection that he will give a midnight concert at his home for scientists and the press. "It is a scientific fact," said Prof. Albertson today. "that a light ray falling upon the suHfaee of a small polished steel plate for example will produce a tone. Graham Bell long ago demonstrated that a lig'ht ray may be used as a conductor to car rv 'the human voice. Mvy invention merely follows out this line of thought. I believe 'MIessages from Mlars' will soon be a reality. "A tone produced from a light ray falling on a polished steel plate is inaudible. however, unless the plate is inserted into an electric cir cuit also containing a microphone or telephone earpiece-this is the nrinciple underlying my" invention. Instead of a plate or hollow steel shell. however. there are involved a number of small steel cylinders varying in length. perfectly polish ed inside andl so arranged within a box as to v'ibrate freely. The en tire box is made a part of the elec tric circuit and in this circuit is also a microphone or earpiece. "In front of the cylinder is a re volving disk which is so perforated that a light ray will be thrown in different directions when passing through small holes. There is a prism fixed behind a revolving disk .and a tu.be containing a lens which A planter in Georgia. just as his co:ton p : The Standar Nitrate at the rate of one hundred pounds to the r per acre than from a similar field wihimut Ni Twelve similar trials in A:abarnash.-wed ;: I want a Cotton Planter in every , wn:y;i ona sma.lcr sca;e.

"Sounds and music transmittedl from various plannets tell differen Storivs." he said. "For instance. whe-n an instrumnt is aimed at Ar ctiurus sounds of contrast are heard at first. It sounded to le like aI ear splittig hurricane. then like a roar of a thousand Niagaras. then soothing like melodious. low whispering and exquisite. Soft sing ing. One naturally would think the more powerful a light ray the bet ter the musical result. but this not so. A far away fixed star is the one that produces the sweetest tones. This I believe to be due to the nominterference of reflected light from the invisible revolving about the sun." TRICKS OF A HINDOO JUGGLER. A Traveller's Story of Marvels Performed * in his Presence. Joh;nnesburg. Transvaal. Star. "When in India I made the ac (:uaintance of a juggler. who tried to instruct me in all his tricks. I H said that it was imaginary on the part of the spectators. as he simip' willed that they should see those things. Yet I. in common with Vestern nations, was too anima lized, sensual and materalized by Iesh eatilig and consumption t);f alcohol to retain or accept any deep spiritual teaching. "The most exciting performance that he gave for my amusement was the converting oi a bamboo stiek into a native servant, who waitedl at tab)le andl suppliedi our wants. A fterwards-in his absenceI triedl it. andl to my surp)rise the same man wvas before me. asking for in structionls.

Hei, how ever, took no notice of me. and went on stolidly, bringing in the water until, in my excited imagina tion. it seined that the bungalow would be washed away. Finding that I counld not arrest or stop his movements. he passing through mel as though I did not exist. I drew my swvord and lav in wait for him. I made a slash at him and aparent lv cut him in twain, when. lo! there were. twvo men, bringing in water. neither of whom couldl I restrain from doing so. "I was comlpletely otit of my depth. whlen I heard a quiet laugh behind me. and, on turning, found it wvas my instructor, who held up his right hand and the two men dis appearedl. the stick resumling its place on tihe verandlea: and. to crowvn all, there wvas not the slighlt est sign of any water having been brougl t in. I excitedly appealkd to him for an explanation. He saidl he had been p)resenlt all tihe time, having willed that he should b)e inlvisile to meW. and that I should imagine myvself to see and do what hadl taken place. In order to prove~ it he asked me to step into the comn p lound. and directed myv attention to a large cavern, which I knew was not there before. As I entered1 a number of huge elephants and camels issued from it in a continous stream. vet I could not touch one of them.
