port witnessing an interesting electrical display. The insulation on thi-
high tension wire had become soaked
and the current was leaking through
sufficiently to cause a small blaze.
This bluze constantly increased until,
shortly after- the car passed, the wire
made a direct connection and burned
into^creating a blaze apparently as
large as a barrel and in intensity rivaling a flash of lightning and illuminating the country as brightly as day Ior
a large area. The car rolled into town
very slowly having only the low tension wire to help it along.—Chelsea

It has leaked out that one of Ypsi-
lanti's popular business men of ' the.
legal profession was swindled out of
$630 last week by a couple of strangei-3.
These men entered his office and after
telling a long hard-luck story" were
anxious to secure some money on two
diamonds that they had. The lawyer
was'a little afraid of the quality of the
stones and proposed that they visit a
jeweler who pronounced them O. K.
The deal was made and after the parties had gone, the legal adviser took
his precious diamonds to Detroit to secure a suitable setting, for them preparatory to giving them to his sweetheart, but the jeweler in Detroit pronounced them paste and cheap paste at
that. This incident ought to be a
warning to others to be careful./
Such Birds Cbme High.'
There used to be in a saloon on.
Nineth avsnue, New York, a very valuable canary, whose owner and teacher, the wife of the German" proprietor,
refused an offer of $500 for it. Sometimes as one entered the place there
came from a corner in~the rear a liquid
peal of music, so sweet and high and
clear that it sounded like a piccolo,
without the metallic shrillness of that
instrument. In a small wicker cage a
black and yellow canary waltzed round
and round, never quiet, and as it
danced it sang the air of "Lauterbach"
from beginning to end, -without a false
quantity, without missing or changing
a note. When tbe solo was finished
the bird whisked up its perch, trilled
an improvision, and then began the
melody again, breaking off 4n t^6
middle, warbling a little in self-willed-
'fashion, and then finishing tbe air.
It was a beautiful and unique performance.—Philadelphia Ledger.
-- NOT A LUXURY.
[From the Salem, Oregon, Sentinel.]
About twenty years ago persons who
were privileged to hear Edison's' first
crude^phonograph thought it a wonderful thing, hut little did they dream
that these machines in improved and
perfected form would within a few
years be available, to every liome.
Then the records were made- on tin
foil and it was impossible to preserve
them. Later the recording was done
on wax and by delicate handling the
records were good for considerable service. To-Say_J,he records are perfect,
being molded from hard wax. With
proper handling they will last for
years. The Columbia Phonograph Co.
is turning out first class graphophones
so cheap tbat no family can afford .to
do without the pleasure and satisfaction of owning one. The writer has
had one in bis family three years and
looks upon it now as a necessity rather
tbaiTa luxury.
The Columbia Phonograph Company
37 Grand River avenue, Detroit, headquarters for graphophones and talking
machine supplies of every kind, will
send you catalogs ou application.   47
