FROM REV. MR. DUNCAN.
Returns Thanks to the People of Hous-
ton for Reception.
To The Tost:
Before leaving the enterprising city of
Houston where for the past "month or
more I have enjoyed the hospitality of
its cltiscns permit me to acknowledge
the uniform courtesy of Its press and par-
ticularly of The Houston Daily Tost.
Week after week It has given space for
long extracts from the writer's sermons.
With regard to the report of last Bun-
day's sermon on the "Medieval and Mod-
ern Mind" I should however like to add
that the Unitarian Church which hks
been organised In HouMon within the
past month stands for things old and
new. With Whlttler it believes: "That
all of good the past hath had remains to
make our own time glad."
Vnltarianism stands for the best In
both past and present. It finds a place
in Its teachings for both authority and
liberty faltfi and reason divine and
human service heaven and earth. It ia
an all round religion emphasising no one
part of human nature to the detriment
of the other. It is persQaded with Brown-
ing that the body helps the soul no leaa
than the soul helps the body. The glory
of liberal religion Is its comprehensive-

Who Discovered Champagne!
The sparkling wine knowit to us aa
champagne takes its name from the for-
mer province which is now replaced by
the departments of Mame. Hsute-Marne
Aube and Ardennes. The best wines
however ar grown almost exclusively In
the Mama district. The actual discovery
of this type of wine says the new En-
cyclopedia Brltannica. Is ascribed to Dom
Perlgnon a monk who managed the cel-
lars of the. abbey of Haut vlllers from
1S70 to 1716. It appears also that It was
this same Dom Terignon who first used
cork as a material for closing wine bot-
tles. Up till then such primitive meant
aa pads of hemp or cloth steeped In oil
had been employed. It la very likely thst
the discovery of the utility of cork for
stoppering led to the Invention of effer-
vescent wine the most plausible explana-
tion being that Dom Perlgnon closed
some bottle filled with partially fermented
wine with the new material and on open-
ing them later observed the effects pro-
duced by the confined carbonic arid gss.
The art of making th wine waa kept
secret (or some time and many mysteri-
ous tables were circulated concerning it;
Inter alia it was believed that the Ivli

on "Some Aspects of English and Amer-

tury." The several courses of lectures
are open to the public.
Mr Wilson dictated for the press the
following brief account of his lecture:
Sound.
Musical notes ar produced by periodic
dlsturbancea in the air. that Is by dis
turbance which are reflected at regular i
Intervals. The number of disturbances
per second la called the frequency of the
note The ear can detect notes having
frequenriea from le to SO. 000 per second
but greater or less frequencies produce no
audible sound. The pitch of a muslcsl
note Is hlghsr the higher the frequency.
The loudneee of Intensity of a note de-
pends on the amplitude of the disturb-
ances In the air. The quality of muslcsl
notes Is determined by the character of
the periodic disturbances A body vibrat-
ing mith a motion like that of the bob of
a pendulum or with a simple harmonic
motion produces' what Is called a pure
tone. Such tones sre produced bv tuning
forks A tuning fork emits a series of
sound wave each wave consisting of a
compression and a rarefaction fn the air.
The number of waves emitted la equal to
the number of vibrations made by the
fork The distance between successive
compressions or rarefactions It called the
wave length of the sound. The frequency
multiplied by the wave length is equal to
the velocity of the sound. A number of
experiments were shown Illustrating the
nature of musical sounds and the meth-
ods of finding their frequencies. The
limits of frequency between which notes sj
are audible ners demonstrated and the
analogous limits of the frequency of light
vibration! outside which they produce no
effect on the eye were also shown ex-
perimentally. MANY ORDINANCES

RESTRICTED DISTRICT
TO HAVE LOCAL OPTION
Opinion of Mayor and Attorneys Is
That City Council Can Vote Seg-
regated Section Dry.
At a conference st the City Hall Wed-
nesday morning with Mayor Ben Camp-
bell. Plstrict Attorney Richard .!. Maury
and George I Scars of the City Attor-
ney's office participating it was decided
to tske determined steps to slop the sale
of Intoxicating h-inors In the restricted
district of Houston The three all be-
ing attorney y. gave as their opinion that
the city could legally pass an ordinance
making the district dry territory and If
after careful Investigation this Is found
to be correct tne City Council will pass
an ordinance probably at the Monday
session looking to t hie end.
Mr. Sears is the CHy prosecuting attor-
ney In the Corporation Court and he will
take up the matter of the legality of
such an ordinance with City Attorney J.
C. Huteheson Jr. Thursday. If it Is
found that the city ran by ordinance
make the district dry territory then
violators can be prosecuted tinder the
State law which provides for penitentiary
penalties The State law would also en-
able the officials to pnwecute those sell-
ing liquors to persons located within the
district.
The sale of beer in a laree measure
has been stopped through orders Issued
by Mayor Campbell but knowledge has
come to the ears of the Mayor recently
that the law Is silll being violated to
some extent although not on the large
scale as heretofore.
It has been suggested that the police
arrest the Inmates bv the wholesale on

vored by Mayor Campbell or Mr. Bears

ceipts were :.40tlt.7 while tlte ex-
penses totaled 134ti It The report
wss filed bv Water Commissioner Pave
Fitsgerald Wedneaday morning.
Although the report when compared
with that of the previous year sfioars a
loaa of revenue of tll.7aT.Sl. a decrease
in expensea In a number of items Is
hnvn Th lnaa Af revenue Is ezolained
bv the fact that a number of the largest j
users of water made provlilon lor se-
curing their water from private wells
This was the case with several railroads
and much of the lost revenus ls4-harged
to their action.
During the year ending February
113. much revenue waa received from
the rent of meters but during tne past
year a large number of these meter
hace been paid out. Thli tuplains a
part of the loss of revenue.
When the larger users of sster mad"
other arrangements It reflected a reduc-
ed pumpage of 17a.37S.5SO gsllons ilurm

Renewed Many Malm. I
In the year paat much trouble lias
been encountered by having to tear tip
pavement to repair and renew the malm.
During the year past S367I "i was ex-
pended in renewing mains In 17 atreets
which were being paved. It has been
the practice of the Water Department
recently to go ahead of all new pavlnr
and place the mains in such conditio. i
that there would be no necessity for
lesrlng up the streets in ths next ft
jesrs
During the year fewer lisrrels of fuel
oil was used but on account of the hnh
price of oil the year's total for ft el
showed sn Increase of 14362 79 Recently
a new contract was made at a amalier
price and the Increase will not sluw
for another year.
An Increase Is shown In liibriratlnt
oil 'vasts and packing but It Is ex-
plained that this Is caused on account
of large purchases being made at low
prices and a good supply is nuw on hnnd.
Better grsde of material also has leeii
purchased. The 15.000000 gallon Nord-
berg pump was generally overhauled
durlnc the year at considerable roet
but its capacity has been increased and
It is In good condition.
The report showa a net decrease In ex-
pensea of S94415:. and a balance of S34 Hi
in the budget account. The budget for
tne year past was $135000 and only 1134-
635 19 aas expended.
The city has tt artesian wells and dur-
ing the year air lift pumps were installed
at some of the wells which were showing
s decrease In volume of water. Mr. KiU-
gerald thinks ths pumps havs proved a
feurces snd would so equip more of the
wells to increase the output. He feels
thst Houston In the near future should
make some provision for Inn'easing the
water supply. Trie present wells are suf-
ficient for the city at the present time
hut Houston Is growing sn fast that It
will not he many years until an added
supply will he needed.
In the comparative atatement of groii
revenues the total is Si40 91t.7( which
was 111.737 21 less than ths previous year.
Decreasea were also shown In flat rates
nieier ratea and motor rentals while In-
creases were shown In service connec-
tions bills for collection snd miscellane-
ous. The Total Revenues
