MUSIC OF THE
TELEGRAPH
Every one has put bis ear to a" tele
graph pole to hear the wires bum, and
UHMt people Lave assumed tbat tbe
wlud was entirely responsible for tbe
sound. So It Is in many cases, but
often tbe note Is beard when uot tbe
slightest movement of tbe air Is per
ceptible. A French Investigator tells j
us tbat tbe sound In this case is due !
to the expansion and contraction of I
tbe wires from variation* of tempera
ture. As the wires arc not perfectly
uniform, they rub against the insula
tors. making a slight noise, which is
amplified by the post acting as a
sounding board. Another investigator
la sure tbe sounds are due to electric
waves, but be falls to explain bow or
dinary telegraph wires should be able
to serve as wave detectors and In what
way the electric waves are transform- <
ed Into sound waves. The other tbeo
ory seems more probable.
Some curious stories are told of this j
telegraph wire music. In Siberia the ;
bears think that it is tbe buzzing of
been and would tear down tbe poles
to look for honey if the contractors did
not pile great stones about them to
preveut tbU. In France, on the south
aide of tbe forest of Fontainebleau, the
telegraph Mounds are regarded as
presaging rain. This is because the
south wind In this region brings rain
and tbe forest shuts off tbe north
wind. In some districts tbe noise Is
pofmterly supposed to be due to tbe
passage or messages, but It Is hardly
necessary to say that there Is no evi
dence to support this view.? Philadel

This is the way they marry In Buso
ga, on the right bank of the Nile, at
Ripan falls. The man goes to some
dauce, generally given In honor of
some departed Busogan. and. having
danced and feasted with his charmer,
tie happy pair elope and go to the
bridegroom's home. This ends all cer
emony, except that the brother of tho
bride visits them the next day and Is
received by the brother or some other
relative of the bridegroom, who makes
him a prfscnt of a cow or whatever
else he can afford to give. This the
girl's brother keeps utrtll he gets mar
ried and "pays it over to the brother of
some other girl. Men already married
carry away another wife In the same
way and with like etiquette and pay
ment. and sometimes a married wo
man Is carried off. but this breach of
custom Is generally condoned as "a
mistake" and atoned for by the pay
ment of a cow.
