Another Letter From Prominent oarsman
Who Wants to Enter.
The following letter from Oarsman
Hanlon, who is now in Toranto, Can
ado, was shown a STATESMAN re-
porter yesterday afternoon:
To John Crotty, Austin, Texas:
DEAR SIR-Yours received March

Wallace Ross. to row for the champi.

and if you can make us sufficient in.

suitable prize to have our race rowed
ON your artificial lake, this will give
US chance 70 take part with all
other oarsmen in your magnificent
regatta. Yours truly,

of the money will be found by Messrs.
O'Leary and Mcdonald. Gaudaur's
visit to this city was made quite as

WHAT SCIENCE HAS DONE FOR
DEAFNESS.
Transmitting Sound to the Ear by the Use Of
Simple Device.

There is little doubt but what the
treatment of deafness has been revolu.
tionized by the invention of the Sound
Discs. The development and growth
of the use of this device is phenomi-
nal, and is we'll worthy the attention
it has received in medical circles,
where it has been widely discussed
and most heartily approved. A promi-
nent 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 1T
an easy triumph over the most dis
tressing affliction.
W lille the idea of such an instru-
ment is not strictly new, yet the resto.
ration of such large number of des-
perate and abandoned cases by
its use has proven it to be of
vastly more Importance than
was at first supposed. A recent
interview with the inventor of the in
strument, Mr.. H. S. Wales, who lives
in Bridgeport, Conn.,, discloses how
the idea of such an ingenious instru-
ment first occurred to him. 1t was
learned that it was first suggested
from the fact that most people who
suffer from defective hearing, hear
better in q noise or on moving train,
which is caused by the increased vi
bration of the ear. From this Mr..
Wales said he was confident that he
could invent a device which could be
worn with comfort by the patient, and
which would focus the smaller waves
of sound on the drum.head, thus in
creasing it's vibration and enabling
the patient to hear ordinary converse
ton and public speaking. After many
experiments the final outcome of this
happy thought has been the present
device which must he an ideal one as
it is worn in the ear out of sight fol
months at a time.

AN OLD oARsMAN TALKS,
And Says What He Thinks the Regatta Will
Do for Austin.

To the Sporting Editor of the Statesman:
Those who honor me by reading my
farm notes from week to week will
doubtless be surprised, and it may be
disguised, at my presuming to write
on matters aquatic. But if they knew
me as we'll as 1 know myself, they
would admit that have had more
parctice with the oar than the hoe,
and am more at home in a boat than
between the handles of a pillow. This
fact is my excuse for leaving the field
of agriculture for q short time
to consider the alleged advantage
to Austin of the regatta to he held on
the lake to celebrate the completion
of the dam.
1 use the word "alleged" not be-
cause entertain any doubt about the
matter, but because 1 have heard it
used by few citizens who have no
experience in or taste for aquatic
sports, and consequently can not real
ize the interest such sports excite in
the mind of the public.
AS evidence ofmy right to speak on
this subject L may state that l was
reared on the banks of COaly Tyne, a
river known thu world over as the
nursery of aquatic sports, and the
birth place of more champion oars
men than even the Thames can boast.
AS a boy I became familiar with
boats and boatmen, and g I adj
vanced in years my love for water, as
medium for exercise and sport, de-
veloped and caused me to become toll
erably proficient with the oar, and a
participation in many q hard fought
battle for aquatic supremacy.
Until L came to Texas, thirteen
years ego, L seldom missed seeing a
championship race. therefore know
something about the interest rowing

A Japanese Editor.

Editors may find some consolation in
the fact that they have inspired feelings
of envy in the breasts of young Japa-
nese boy. A recent issue of an East In
dian paper contained the following note:
ga schoolboy in Loerabaya was asked
to describe al editor of a paper. He did
so in this way: An editor is the luckiest
man in the world. He can go to cir
Gus every afternoon and every evening
without paying cent. He can go also
to the court houses, the places of execu-
ton and the races.
"He has free tickets to all theaters, re-
ceives presents at his Office, and gets his
ears boxed too. He goes also to Prigen,
Malang or Lawang places of amuse-
ment). He does not do this often, how
ever. In one paper he can deny every
thing that was said in the previous one,
and he does so, as a rule. When other
people are already III bed, the editor is
still up. He stays up late to see what
happens. When grow big shall be-
come an editor Then | can stay up
too"

A Sermon Exchange.

The latest enterprise which we hear
announced in the young and enterpris-
ing west is the Sermon exchange" of
Chicago. According to popular belief
the practice of clergymen has been to
write sermons until they had filled a
barrel. Then the barrel would be turned
upside down and the sermons all
preached over again. Where a minister
remained in church great many years
the congregation would after awhile be
gin to know when the barrel was turned.
Some sermons were looked forward to
with much interest and others with more
or less dismay. The Sermon exchange
is to do away with all of this. 1t is no
longer necessary to preach sermon over
a second time. The preacher can take
an old sermon and tie twenty-five cents
to it. This he sends to the exchange and
receives one written by some one else
by return mail, or if he has no sermon to
send he can get one for fifty cents.-Bal-
