Woman w Oke ust in tt me to Scream

Philadelphia, Aug. 20.-To wake up in
the dead of night and find herself con-
fronted by burly burglar, who was doing
his best to stifle her with cloth saturated
with some liquid, presumably chloroform.
was the experience of Mrs. Sadie Smith
at 3943 Reno street, on Monday night.
-Four weeks ago her husband, William
Smith, was killed while at work in the
West Philadelphia freight yards, and she
was recently paid $500 by the company's
relief association. This was probably the
incentive for the midnight visitor.
Luckily for Mrs. Smith, she had on
Monday deposited the major part of the
money In a savings bank, and the would be

for the bank book which showed the de-

II was about | / O'Clock when Mrs. Smith
was awakened by a suffocating sensation.
Asshe opened her eyes she saw man stand
ing by her bed. He was pressing a cloth
over her nose and mouth SO hard that she
could breathe only with great difficulty.
She twisted herself loose and shouted for
help, awakening Mrs. Toy. who slept in
the front second-story room next to her own.
The burglar fled through Mrs. Toys room
down the stairs and out the front door, by
which lie had evidently gained entrance.
An investigation showed that the bank
book had been taken, but nothing else was
missing. Mrs. Smith reported the matter
the savings fund Officials and found that
no attempt had been made to draw her
money. She describes the man as dark
compiexioned and of heavy build, and thinks
she would be able to identify him.

OF an electrical wheel, which reyolves
pasteboard disks bearing each OF the funda-
mental colors OF the solar spectrum. BY
combining disks any possible variation OF
color may be shown, with their various
tints, shades, hues, lusters and Transparent
cies. These are produced IN the order of the
spectrum. The baby will watch the wheel
closely, and when he is older will be taught
TO Observation-Disclosures an increasing num-
ber OF variations. DR.. Gates states that the
average artist has not seen more than ten or
twelve per cent of these possible variations,
and is, therefore, lacking in memory struc-
lures corresponding with all of the varia-
tons not seen.
He lately examined a well-known artist
and found that he could distinguish less
than fifteen per cent of the combinations
shown him. Another instrument TO be
used on the child VIII en- he is older is case
containing three large prisms, SO arranged
that any variation OF the spectrum thro wn
by one can be covered by any part OF the
spectrum thrown upon the same screen by
either or both of the others. Any desired
combination OF colors may thus be purely
made with the original light. BY other in
TIE cileCtS VI GOOFb upOH eiilO-
tons can be measured. Such u training,
the psychologist believes, is the best pos
sibie foundation for an artistic education.
THE HEARING.
Just as his eyes must regularly perceive
every variation of color, in natural Sc
quence, this child must as systematically
hear every possible degree OF sound As u
beginning, he is being trained with two
little whistles, each having u rubber bulb
at one end ana arranged to give any pitch
IN the musical scale.
In the beginning the professor in each
hand held whistle, Que arranged to give
a much lower note than the other. A piece
of candy was always placed In the hand
holding the whistle OF the lower pitch.
Although the whistles were changed from
hand TO hand, the child soon learned to
associate the lower note with something
good TO eat, and thus to distinguish be.
tween the two pitches.
By gradually altering the pitches SO os
give sounds more nearly the same greater
acuteness in this discrimination is being de-
veloped. When further developed the child
viii be trained by means of large elec-
trical instrument, which its inventor. Dr.
Gates, says will give all possible varia-
tons OF sounds in systematic order.
Two electro-magnets are arranged on
either side of a small disk about the size

of the parental hands. Even this was
Objectionable to the infantile disposition
Soon 1t was learned that by sitting up
right there would be no such bumps, and
one of the primary laws Of self lf-preserva-
tion was learned. Stronger and stronger
efforts to sit erect, unsupported, were soon
successful.
LEARNING THE LESSONS.
AS soon as crawling was accomplished
and it was mastered at an extraordinarily
early age each infant was placed in the CEN
ter of large table. The first instinct
was to creep to the edge and drop off. The
parental arms were always ready, how
ever, and always managed to catch the dar-
ing little fellow before he could strike the
floor. This slight jar was not pleasant, and
Soon another lesson in selrpreservation was
learned. Other simple lessons were given,
such as the lodging of light blows, the
avoidance of hot objects, etc.
When about six months old each child was
grasped under the arihs, jumped on the
Isfather's shoulders, and gradually taught to
| assume various harmless attitudes when
supported in his arms.
When about eight months old they could
turn simple aerial sonicrsaults while held
in his hands. Being an athlete himself,

of Scent piece. BY means of two con-
mutators the current may be alternated
between the magnets at any desired We
locity. With each alienation the disk
vibrates once. When vibrating less than
eighteen times a second it creates no audi
BILE tone, merely a series OF tappings. The
faster 1t vibrates, the higher is the tone,
the treble limit being 200, 900 vibrations
per second. By inserting different disks
and pulling out certain slides all of the
possible tone qualities, chords or bar-
monies of each tone can be mathematically
produced. Most exact lessons 10 discriml-
nation between audible variations of tone
will be taught with this.
THE SENSE MEMORIES.

the psychologist terms them-of smell and
