It Is now possible to hear heat and cold.
Dr. George C. Whlpple , biologist of the
Ilreoklyn water works , has Invented an
olcctilcnl Instrument i > y mews of which the
various ranges of tempoiatuio may bo heard
In an ordinary tcli'phouo receiver. 1 > -
plorcr Peary owns ono of these- Instru
ments and bo will take It with htm to the
north polo to listen to the very Intense
cold which Is sunaoard to prevail there.
He had ono of the Instruments with him on
his last Arctic expedition and ho was nblo
to lower the end of It Into a crevasse In a
glacier and hear how cold It was 100 feet
below the Burface.
The apparatus Is very simple In construc
tion , in external appearance U la like an
ordinary electric battery box , such as Is use-it
In slclc rooms. From one sldo of the box
extends a very long Insulated wire carryIng -
Ing u small cell of bare wire * on the end of
it. From the other side of the box extend
xslres which hold a telephone receiver , The
latter Is to bu held to the ear EO that the
temperature Into which the bare coil is
thrust may bu heard.
It may seem strange that heat and cold
way bo heard ns well as felt. To bo
nccurato U Is the presence of heat or cold
acting on the bare cell of wire which causes
tin electric current to sot up a bu7/lng in
the telephone. When the instrument Is
used the telephone Is held to the car , while
the listener looks nt a dial on the batter ?
box mentioned above. This dial , which In
appearance Is like the faro of an ordinary
mechanical thermometer , Is marked with
llgures representing degrees of tempeioturo
above and below zero. Ix-t us suppose , for
Instance , that we1 are to listen to the tem
perature of a nail of water. The cell of
bare wlro is thrust Into the water and the
observer place's the telephone to his ear
There Is a hiind or pointer pivoted In the-
nilddlo of the dial fare. The olwer\er
jiroceudi to turn the pointer from figure to
flguto on the dial. When the telephone
Is placed first to the car .1 loud buzzing
Bound Is heard. This Is btcauso the pointer
docs not happen to bo nt the figure rep
resenting temperature of the water In
which the bare cell Is pl.ued Aa the
pointer nears the figure that Indicates the !
correct temperature , the buzzing Bound in ]
the telephone becomes fainter until when j
It cornea opposite It stops altogether. Aa
hoon ns the buzzing stopi , the obsener
Knows that the temperature of the water
lias been found. j
Trlnl 'IVitH.
Dr. Whlpplo tiled the Instrument the
other day In n room , the temperature of
which was about n\enty degiees The cor
respondent placed the telephone to Ills oar
nnd heard a loud buzzing. Dr. Whlpple
moved the pointer towards the llgure be\-
> nty. The moment tunenty was reached
the buzzing stopped This was because the
temperature * of the room surrounding the
roll hail been found lr Whlpplo then
held the baio cell of wlro between both
hands. The buzzing In the telephone be-
pan again , because the warmth of his handH
had raised the tcmrvraturo of the coll.
The correspondent moved the pointer
iiround until it reached ninety-eight de
grees. The buzzing stopped again , showIng -
Ing that the temperature' of thu hands had
bocn found. Then Dr. Whlpple lighted a
match nnd held the flame against the cell
The buzzing began again and the pointer
had to be mnvcd forward until the temper-
nturo of the lighted match w. d found. The
toll was thrust Into a batln of water. The
buzzing commenced and did not stop until
the pointer was moved down to sl\ty de
grees , shov\lng that to be the temperature
In the basin. When tha colt was held
' against n piece of Ice the pointer had to bo
turned back to fifteen degrees ubovo
zero.
zero.These
These experiments lllustiate the great
usefulness of the Instrument. It Is not
necessary that the bare cell mentioned
; ibo\o should bo in that precise form. U
may be straightened out to form a long
lluvlblo wlro. The Instrument Is now used
in this form In the state house of lloston ,
Mass. In order that the engineer In the
basement of the building should know the
temperature of e > very part of It. out' of theibo
btralghtcned out colts has been placed be
hind the wainscoting In the court house
corridors at the height of a man's shoulders.
Now. If the engineer wishes to know the
tcmrorature > ho has inercl ) to place the
telephone to his ear and turn the dlaf-
polnter until the buzzing ceases. He then
can note the temperature- the building
tn all Its parts without going out of tbo
englno room.
The Instrument la now being used In cold
storage warehouses to ascertain the tem
perature -of the \arlous rooms without
cipculng them. In the old days of cold
utonigo work. It was nex-essary to keep the
JvfrlKeratliis plant operating under high
l > r sMiro all the time , because it was not
possible to tell the temperature of auv In-
dUtdual room without opening It. and It
was not ahvavs advisable to do that So
to make sure nil of the rooms were kept
114 cold as posblble Now , however , each In
dividual room In the warehouse has tn tt
it one of these new electric thermometers
S'overal time's a day on olnolil goes to a
rerles of push buttons upon the otllcc wall
nnd throws into circuit one after another
the thermometers In thu various rooms of
the warehouse My placing the telephone
to his rar and mnnlruUtlng the dial he Is
able accurately to determine the temper-
atur - of every room tn the building
\nlnc of the Inntriimrnt.
The new thermometer will doubtlesi beef
of much value In factories nhe-ru furnaces
and ovens are use-d It can be made to
ring an alarm and hence would bo useful
In the powder magazine of a war ship. In
faet it win be invaluable tn any situation
vvhero Increases of heat or cold must be
known at once. Hut perhaps its greatest
value will lm found In the workings ut the
United States weather bureau.
It Is the purpose * of Dr. Whlpple to carry
on a scries of experiments with his ther
mometer attached to kites and ba'lootis. It
has been almost Impossible with the ap
paratus which heretofore has been In uae
by the weather bureau to obtain a con
tiguous record of the temperatures of the
upper strata of the air Yet upon this de
l-ends the elllcltucy of the weather bureau
predictions. In fact , It Is said that the
meteorology of the future will depend
mostl > upon what Is learned of the condi
tion of the elements high above the earth.
Ono of thcHO Instruments Invented by Dr.
Whlpplo could be sent up In a captive bal
loon or on a kite string and kept In opera
tion for days , or even weeks , If necessary.
A very accurate curve representing the suc
cessive temperatures of the upper air might
ho obtained In this way. As the condi
tions which periodically affect the surface
of the earth alwa > s exist up above for some
time beforehand some very accurate pre
dictions might bo made as to weather In
stor for us.
One may well wonder how a colt of ap
parently bare wire can transmit to a tele
phone receiver the conditions of the atmos
phere surrounding it. but the operation Is
I very simple and Is based on a law of re
sistance which professional electricians will
undeistand. when It Is said that the Instru
ment practically Is another exemplification
of the WheatBtone Ilrldge. As a matter of
fact the bare eolt oflro Is really a very
small hollow tube. In It are two parellof
wires , one of which Is made of German sil
ver and the other of which Is copper. Now
the reason temperatures can bo determined
bv means of the two wires is because each

H.V. . Sheridan , a Portland man , con
tributes a duscriuUon of the journey tiu
ma ilc with three thousand men elovvn the
Yukon rl\cr In search of food and life.
Ills Btory Is calculated to make the average
man contemplating the journey to the gold
fields of the north think seriously before
going.
"The writer of 1S&7 and 1S9S will mark
an epoch In the history of the Yukon
basin , " he sajs. "Tho stories of the fabu
lous richness of her mines had set the
outside world In a finer of excitement ,
and from the banks of the creat Missis
sippi , from the Atlantic coast , from the
northern lakes , from Ullage , country and
city poured the throng , eager to share a
part In the richest placer mines that the
world has oxer known.
"These thousands of men , corning , ns they
did , almost without any preparation or pro-
vlslona to sustain them through the Ions
Arctic winter , and wholly without experi
ence , found themselves at Dawson In the
beginning of winter without food and with
none to bo had within 400 miles. The
North American Trading and Transportation
company s boats and the Alaska Commer
cial company's boats failed to make ns
many trips as had been expected and the
food In the country was inadequate for the
liners that were In the country before
he recent influx. This condition of affairs
m'st bo experienced to bo appreciated.
"The situation soon made itaclf appar-
nt to those In charge of the food s.up-
lies , as well ns to those that were tie-
ending on them for their winter's sup-
ly ; and steps were at once taken to
vert , as far as possible , what seemed 1m-
nlnent the greatest food famine that has
isltcd our continent. Among those that
uay be mentioned as haslng walked un-
Irlngly to avert the threatened calamity
nd In the Interest of humanity are Cap-
aln Hanson , manager river transportation
f the Alaska Commercial company , wheeled
oled 400 mlK's up the Yukon river from

cct further supplies from below , Mr. Moran -
an of the nmu company and Captain John
. Healy , general manager of the North
\merlcan Trading and Transportation corn-
any , all of whom used their beat efforts
nd In a great many cases their private
umls to assist people to get to Tort Yukon ,
\herc several of the river boats , unable to
ct over the shallows , discharged and
cached' their cargoes.

"As soon as those that were unprovided
' of od fully understood
with a winter's outfit & >
derstood that their only hope of existence
was to reach Fort Yukon , the stampede
jecamo almost a panic. Men started down
ho river In almost every concelvablo l.lnd

others carrying forty. Provisioning theoc
3oats became the problem of the hour , ir

Some boats , in fact , furnished nothing t <

Now is a good time to let everybody know
what a music loving people the Cubans nro
nnd how much may be expected of their
talent In that direction when they shall
liavu nil the convenlenees necessary for
study , without the drawbacks Oiey alwavs
found under the Spanish government. The
characteristic music of the people , Havs the
New York Herald , has a very original
rhjthm and the many artists that have vis-
IteJ Cuba have nlwa > s been greatly at
tracted by the popular songs of the
guajlro ( farmer ) It la really Interesting to
hear the declmas ( ten liners ) to the ac
companiment of the tlple , a guitar of a
fuuny 8hape > . that Is played with a wooden
pick , the sound of this Instrument being
thoioughly adaptable to the plalntlveucES
of the song. Theio cannot be imagined any
thing moro poetic. The rustic dauce of the
guajlro Is called rapatcado ar.d is also
plaveil on the tlplo to a very original ac
companiment on J. dry calabash. It Is a
most striking rhythmical kind of dance.
The dauza which has been imitated in other
Spanish-American countries is native to
Cuba. It Is no longer a. country dance It
Is the music of all the city soirees. At
any city ball , besides polkas , square dances
aud EO on , vou always llnd that the danzas
compilso moro than half the numbers of
the dancing order. It Is n dance of slow ,
languid incasuie and the music Is bewiuli-
1ns
Leaving aside these characteristics of
the country there have been remarkable
musicians of all kinds that might rank
with the best In any country. The Cuban
society girl would surprise anone with * -r
piano plnj ing. I can enl > explain this by
the habits of her life. A Cuban girl can
never go out alone , therefore , as she haste
to wait for her father or her brother to
accompany her , she stajs at home most of
her life , and It is no wonder she uses her
time lu such scrupulous piano study.
Every city has its teachers who are Idol
ized by their pupils , and Havana has many

Trandway. She drew ua close as the could
to the ratling of the 'trestle ' and then throw
herself full length on the narrow boinl
which serves as the footpath. Little Estcllo
she placed on the outer extremity and aho
lay there with her u > es shut , awaiting what
she thought would bo a horrible end If
she mounl a muscle she would be dashed
to pieces. There was a roar , n rush of wind
and steam , a rattle of wheels and Iron and
then little Estelle's body was dragged out
of her mother a arms and , fortunately ,
stretched unconscious on the footpath at
her mother's feet The little one had be
come ) alarmed at the great noise. She was
nervous and excited and before the train
had cleared them had raised her head. The
edge of a car struck her and she was
droggenl a few feet , but fortunately fell
safely and clear of the tracks
The' train had left the trestle and was
rapidly disappearing on the road Into the
country when Mrs. Trandway , almost dead
from fright , her face pale and her body
trembling llko nn aspen , sat up and looked
about her. Finally she looked for her
daughter , and when she saw the little one
stretched out at her feet , with he'r clothing
orn and bcbineared with blood , she sprang
o her feet and embraced her
A man who had witnessed the thrilling
scene and who had turned his face from on
anticipated horrible death the mother and
child were about to meet , soon rushed to
: helr assistance. Ho took them to a neigh
boring house , where little Estollo was ie-
vlvcd , and after her Injuries were tem
porarily dressed and both had become
quieted they were driven In a wacon to
he olllco of a doctor. He found
Jstello suffering from a laceration
of the malp and bruises on the
jody , but no bones were broken
and she was not hurt Internally. He dresseO
the Injuries and mother and daughter were
afterward conveji-d to their homo.
The trestle on which this scene was en
acted Is nearly sovcnty-flvo yards long. It
Is strongly built and trains pass over without -
out decreasing their speed. The train
which figured In the affair Is known ns the
Frisco fast mall No 1 It waa In charee
of Conductor George Wolff and was west
bound. It was made up of an engine , bag
gage , express , mall and several passenger
coaches. It had Just gathered Its speed as
It approached the trestle.
