WHAT SCIENCE HAS DONE FOR DEAF
NESS.
Transmitting Sound to the Ear by the Use
of Simple Device.

There Is little doubt but what the treatment of
deafness has been revolutionized by the invention
Of the Sound Discs The development and growth
Of the use of this device Is phenomenal and is well
worthy the attention it has received in medical
circles where it has been widely discussed and
most heartily approved. A prominent physician
has gone so far as to estimate that fully three.
quarters of all the deafness which has been re-
lieved in the United States during the past two
years has been by the aid of this instrument, and
he considers it an easy triumph over this most dis
tresslng affiiction.
While the idea Of such an instrument Ia not
strictly new, yet the restoration of such q large
number Of desperate and abandoned cases by its
use has proven 1t to be Of vastly more importance
than was at frst supposed. A recent interview
with the inventor Of the instrument Mr.. B. b.
Wales, who lives in Bridgeport, Conn.,, dissloses
how the idea Of such an ingenious instrument nrst
occurred to him. 1t was learned that 1t was nrst
suggested from the fact that most people who suf-
fer from defective hearing, hear better In noise
or on Q moving train, which Ii caused by the In
creased vibration Of the ear. From this Mr.. Wales
said he was confident that he could invent device
which could be worn with comfort By the patient,
and which would focus the smaller waves Of sound
on the drum head, thus Increasing It's vibration,
and ena bling the patient to hear ordinary CONVEX.

ments the final outcome Of this happy thought has
been the present Device which must be IN ideal one

s'The most artistic swindle known 10
the history of the Colorado mining in
dustry occurred three years ago this
winter at Georgetown said Richard
Beauchamp. Georgetown is up in the
mountains and in the center of very
rich mining country. In the winter
snow drifts hundreds of feet deep among
the mountains and packs down very
hard. Two old miners ran tunnel into
the snow at the base of a mountain
distance of 800 feet, timbered it up
nicely, plastered it with mud, and at the
far end piled a quantity OF very rich
quartz. Then they went down to Den
yer and became acquainted with couple
of wealthy Englishmcn, who had just
come over to look for an investment for
their spare cash that would pay big
divvy. They took them to GEORGETOWN
and showed then their tunnel and the
Ell Dorado at the end of it. The tunnel,
had 1t been really into the rocky noun
tain, would have represented thousands
of dollars. The Englishmen were
charmed with it and the prospect. They
bought up the claim for $4,000 spot
cash, and went East to contract for
quartz mill machinery. When they re-
turned in the spring there was nothing
left of the tunnel but the woodwork and
a wagon load OF quartz at the end. 1t
was the most ridiculous sell ever known,
and the most successful. st. Louis

eight or ten of the cou1ty's best citiz ems

rifles and ravy pistols, and the trouble,
which had its inception in a trivial matter
the day before, eliminated in a pitched
battle. Casualties so far as known were:
John Davis was killed by pistol shot. said

bloody trail on the snow through a wood

"A REMARKABLE YEAR,
"A Comparatively Small Number of
Failures in 1892

. Bradstreet's contains the following inter-
esting resume of the statistics of commerce al
disasters collected by it during the yea r
1892: THE number of business failures in
she United States during the calendar year,
with the exception of South Dakota, where
a State law renders it unlawful to report
such information except under prohibitory
Conditions, is 1920, a smaller total than
his been reported since 1882, with the single
exception of 1887, when the aggregate was
9740.
This is not the only astonishing part Of
the exhibit, for the grand total of liabilities
of failing traders in the United States in
1892 appears to be only sos, 800 900, a total
also smaller than in any year since 1852,
without any exception. A similar compar-
ison may be made as to assets, the total of
which is S54, zoo, O00.
The total business population OF the
United States in 1888 was o55 600 CONNER
cial and industrial concerns individuals,
firms and corporations of sufficient stand>
ing and permanence to be of record, and
the number of failures in that year
amounted to 1929, the first time
the aggregate had passed the 10000
mark. Yet in 1892 nine years later, with
business populations of l. 035, 600, a gain of
twenty-one per cent the number or busi-
ness failures is only 10,270, or about the
same as nine years ago, and the debts of
failing trades are forty per cent. smaller
now than then. This is the mo st strikif
