An English inventor has contrived
an instrument, which he calls the
"dromograph," intended to record the
time and photograph the finish of a
race, whether of horses, athletes or BIZ
cycles. When, at the start, the con-
testants break a cord an electric bell
rings and a chronogranh begins to re-
cord the time. The breaking Of the
string at the finish stops the chrono-
graph and at the same instant exposes
a Photographic plate, on which the po-
sition of the contestants at the end of
the race is recorded.

settled. although she had not received the
promised $780, 600 conditional upon the
surrender of the documents which she
held.

came so faint tnat she was compelled TO
retire from the court room for ten min

size gave her reasons for not having shown
tho deeds to the attorneys. among them
being the assurance IRON Mr.. Wheeler
that IL the trust clause In tho will offered
for probate should be invalidated. the
pencil will could be put through without
