A Boston woman who paid tax last

might not have changed their name by
marriage.
a romantic marriage took place at
Friendship, Dearborn county, Ind. Sun
day. Anthony Opp, wealthy, re-
spected old citizen, concluded, notwith-
standing he will be eighty years of age in

Ever since the more or less "per-
fected' photograph was given to the
world last spring, says the New York
Times, experiments have been kept up at
the laboratory. A substance more dura-
BILE than wax has been found for the
record cylinders. Now, the instrument
is so sensitive that any gasp or yawn is
recorded. 1t will distinguish between the
breathing of a healthy man or
consumptive and record the beating of
the heart. One Of the little wax
cylinders details an interview be-
tween two lovers, and persons of ex-
perience said yesterday that the kisses
were reproduced with tantalizing ac-
curacy and fervor. The instrument was
taken to a Thomas concert the other
night, and now one may hear an entire
concerto, with JosefFv at the piano. )
