THE ancients had a way of hustling
up work that we Of modern times
might well envy. While the historians
mostly leave us in the dark as to the
specific means of accomplishing great
tasks, yet the results are given, from
which we may infer that the ancients
had matters well in hand When the
Romans were besieging ancient Ath-
ems, both sides took an active part in
the assault and defense, respectively,
and made things lively During the
progress of the siege the Romans IN
dermined a portion of the massive
walls of the city, propping up the roof
of the excavation with beams of wood
until a large area was ready to be tum-
bled. Then combusibles being dis
posed within the excavation, fire was
applied, which burned the beams, and
a large section of the wall tumbled
with terrific crash We are informed
that during the night following, the
Athenians built a wall of crescent
shape, inward from the collapsed por-
ton, and the Romans were discouraged
at the prospect and abandoned the
siege. This Is only one of the many
examples that might be cited, showing
the ability of the ancients not only to
plan but to execute.

Just now the medical world is engaged in
discussing the new device for deafness called
Sound Disc. No invention of late has at
tracted 50 much interest among the medical
profession. Its perfection. which is now an
established fact, has resulted in the overthrow
of many pet theories of there being no relief
for a vast number of cases of deafness.
This ingenious discovery was made by H.
]. Wales, Of Bridgeport, Conn.,, and coming
as it does with the approval of some of the
leading aurists of the world it can hardly
fail to prove of great value to both the pro-
tession and the afflicted.

Russell Sage on Jay GOuId's wealth.

There Is not man In America or the
world at large who absolutely owns
and controls and has registered in his
own name as many stocks as Mr.. JAY
Gould 1t Is no exaggeration to say
that he draws more money from his
invested capital than does any other
living soul. In order that some idea
may be had of his wealth, it Is simply
necessary to take three of his stocks;
Manhattan, of which he owns and has
registered 100000 600; Missouri Pa
cific, SO, 500, 900; and Western Union.
S25, 900. 600. OF these three he draws
for dividends over $4,000, 900 a year.
His income from other sources. of
course, amounts to four or five times as
much.
