Teaching by Phonograph.

A professor of languages in this city has
brought the phonograph into use as an as
sistant. He uses IL to teach his pupils the
proper pronunciation. His method Is to
send with his textbook a phonograph and
90 loaded and 90 blank cylinders. Each
lesson in the book is arranged In questions
and answers, and the pupil puts the proper
cylinder In the phonograph before begin
ming lesson. With the book before him
and the tubes of the phonograph In his
ears, he reads the lesson and also hears the
phrases repeated with the proper accent.
This he can repeat until he has acquired
the proper pronunciation and thoroughly
understands the lesson. Then he uses one
Of the blank cylinders and repeats what he
has learned for the purpose of sending II
back to the professor and having IL COR
rected. The professor places the tube into
his phonograph, listens to his pupil and
writes out such criticisms as are necessary
and sends them to him. BY this means
many are enabled to study mt their homes
and the professor to have pupils in any
part Of the country. The professor has
over 300 machines ut.-New York Times.

What the Geographical Center Has Done,

If you want to make the blood of true
Kansan boil. just say to him that the Sun
flower State has dropped back peg In the
march Of civilization. Tom MoNeal, an
ex-state senator and humorist of more than
state fame, Is particularly jealous of the
states fair name. "You can Just say to
the jays who are roking fun at Kansas"
he said to a re porter, "tbat whatever they

er they wear she saokcloth of the defeated

victor, the unalterable fact remains that
KaDsas Is still the geographical center of
the world, the linchpin Of the universe.
Even the fact that half the people of the
world are at this time engaged In abusing
or defending her shows that she is built to
attract attention and ipyite contention
The ordinary commonplaA things Of the
world do not attract attention; only the
little things of value invite contention.
kansas will in the future, as she has
in tho past, overcome more difficulties,
create moro surprises and make more ma
terial advancement In given time than
any other state in the Union.

bread for more than week for every man,

the tastes of the ice man from Iceland, the

In the commerce of every cline and where
q hot wind will affect the markets OF

the state has raised sufficient corn to fatten
enough cattle to drink up the waters OF

to supply the furnaces of civilization and
enough salt to make pickling brine out OF

Mrs. Dupont Held.

Boston, Jan. 27.-A hearing in the
habeas corpus proceedings in the case of
Mrs Annie M. Dupont, who is wanted In
New York on charge Of larceny, and for
whom requisition papers were sent last
month. was held in the supreme court
yesterday afternoon. The requisition
papers were dated Dec. 20, and Were
signed by Ex-Governor Morton. The
counsel for Mrs. Dupont claimed that
these papers had no force, inasmuch as
Governor Black was the chief executive
of New York when Governor Wolcott OF
this state honored the request. After
counsel had argued the case. Judge
Barker said he would refer the
question to the full bench. Attorney
General Hallowell then said that new
requisition papers were on the way from
New York, and, hearing this, Mrs. Du-
Fonts counsel said that he would not
contest the matter further, and Mrs.
Dupont was remanded to the sheriff's
care until the arrival Of the new papers.
