Why was Benjamin Franklin Butler so unpopular in New Orleans?

General Butler wasn't a professional soldier, instead, he was a politician appointed to that rank and was in charge of the Occupation of New Orleans. He ruled with a heavy hand and gross incompetence. Before his removal he had become known as "Beast Butler". He had one man executed for tearing down an American Flag, and in his General Order Number 28 he ordered that any woman treating a Union soldier with disrespect would be treated as a prostitute.

How does the glass armonica work and what does it do?

The vibrations produced from the glasses in the armonica resonate sounds with different frequencies, and thus, musical tones are created. In Franklin's time, soda-lime glass (containing sodium) or lead glass was predominantly used. However, later experimentation has found that pure quartz (crystal) produces far superior sound quality, pitch, and tone.

When a moistened finger is held to the rim of the glass as it rotates, a pure and constant musical note is produced. This pitch cannot be altered unless one adds water to the glass, or decreases the size of the glass. Therefore, wine glasses of varying sizes are arranged on the harmonica in order to allow a musician to create melodies on the instrument.

Glass Harmonica: Note the varying sizes of the glasses used

Franklin's glass armonica included two to three octaves of the musical scale, allowing a composer greater personal expression in his or her pieces. Immediately after Franklin's invention the preeminent composers of the day, which included Mozart and Beethoven, seized the opportunity by incorporating the glass armonica into many of their most renowned works

What is the value of a Winchester Model 1894 serial 411964 believed to be produced in 1895 with a saddle ring and later added sight in fair cosmetic and very good to excellent mechanical condition?

That serial number (411964) was made c.1906, not 1895. "Fair" is not really that descriptive, and we are concerned about the 'added site.' A period tang peep site would not hurt the collectability, but anything drilled/tapped into the receiver would virtually destroy collector interest. Depending on all the above, anywhere from $200-$250 to $750. Really need to see good digital pictures. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Benjamin Franklin dollar edition 100 series 2001?

Your question isn't clear. If you're referring to a $100 bill, the term is date or series. "Edition" refers to books and newspapers.

In any case, a $100 Federal Reserve Note dated 2001 is too recent to be worth a premium, unless it's in uncirculated condition. Spend it, or take it to a bank and break it for smaller notes.
