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

There is little doubt but what the treat
ment 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 relieved in
the United States during the past two
years has been by the aid of this inStru-
ment: and he considers it an easy triumph
over this most distressing atfliction.
While the idea of such an instrument is
not strictly new. yet the restoration of
such a large number of desperate 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 instrument, Mr.
II. ). Wales, who lives in Bridgeport,
Conn, discloSeS how the idea of such an
ingenious instrument first occurred to
him. 1t was learned that it was first sug-
geSted from the fact that most people who
suffer from defective hearing, hear better
in a noise, or on a moving train, which is
caused by the increased vibration 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 small
er waves of sound on the drum head, thus
increasing its vibration, and enabling the
patient to hear ordinary conversation and
public speaking. After many experiments
the final outcome OF this happy thought
has been the present device, which must
be an ideal one as it is worn in the ear out
of sight for months at a time.

Over a Bar Bill.

James Henson is undoubtedly one of
the most notorious toughs in San Antonio.
He has been frequent visitor to the bat
cave and has been arrested several times
On the charge OF being a suspicious char
acter. He is constantly watched by the
city detectives, who recognize him as a
leader among tOughs of his class. Satur-
day night he went to a saloon on East
street, owned by Annie Howard, and,
finding 1t locked, went to the residence of
the proprtetress. He endeavored to gain
entrance, but Annie heard him and went
out onto the gallery 10 ascertain who he
was, and what he wanted When she
opened the door, Henson struck at her.
She pulled revolver and held him until
the police arrived. He was fined $40 by
Recorder McAlliSter this morning. The
trouble arose over 40 cent bar bill which
Henson owed her.
