Just now the medical world is en-
gagged in discussing the new device for
deafness called Sound Disc. No inven-
ton of late has attracted so much in
terest among the medical profession.
Its perfection, which is now an estab-
lished fact, has resulted in the overs
throw of many pet theories of there
being no relief for a vast number of
cases of deafness
This ingenious discovery was made
by II. A. Wales of Bridgeport, Conn,
and coming as it does with tie approval
Of some of the leading Aurists of the
world it can hardly fail to prove of
great value to both the profession and
the afflicted.

county distance of 10 miles.
A large tenement house owned by
Robert Mckee was completely wrecked

portant duties of a common carrier is that
1t shall serve all persons alike, impartially
and without unreasonable Determinations
and that the performance Of this duty can
not be avoided by "A special contract made
between the respondent or its licensor
and one or more persons for the exclusive
use of the system, such contract being
void rs against public policy, and that q
patent device or devices, when employed
for public use or by common carrier
in the prosecution Of its business, will be
subjected to the same rules and regllla-
tions which govern unpatented property
under the same circumstances. The rea-
sou alleged by the respondent for its re-
fnsal to furnish the relator with a tele
phone are, therefore, insufficient and il is
ordered by the court that the writ of man
danus be awarded.
The case, it is understood, will be APP
pealed to the United States Supreme
Court, in which event it will probably
be two years or more before it is reached.
