magnifying these sounds. This service
 had been done in part by the stetho- scope; but the new invention, the phonendoscope, has made a great ad- vance on the older instrument and seems destined to count for almost as much in the progress of medicine as has the discovery of the Roentgen ray.
 The phonendoscope consists primarily in metal stem, T, terminating in an ebonite button, B. The stem receives the vibrations of the organ and trans mits them to a first disk of ebonite, which is made strong enough not to give when the stem is pressed against the human body. This first disk is separated by a shallow air chamber from a second ebonite disk. which is as thin as that of a telephone trans hitter These disks are bedded in a mass of metal about the size of a watch. Between the second disk and the metal is an air chamber, c, In which the sounds are condensed and then transmitted through the openings, O O, and the rubber tubes A A, to the physicians ears.
 Suppose now that you wish to ex- anime the heart. You select on the chest the point where the heart is in direct contact with the thoracic wall.

 Up to the present time anatomlsts have known the stomach only in the shape in which 1t is found in the ca daver. Percussion could teach us noth- ing of the lower part of this often all- ing organ. By means of the phonen- doscope it has been shown that the stomach. even when empty, is longer vertically than the anatomistS had supposed. and that it Is extended much more when 1t receives food.
 It was formerly supposed that when one drank water the fluid did not stop in the stomach. There exists, it was held, a special set of muscular hbers. sometimes called "the Swiss cravat - which contracted and made the liquid pass along the way into the intestine. By the aid of the new instrument 1t has been discovered that is a mistake: the stomach retains liquid as we'll as solid foods.
 To empty itself the stomach rises, elongating itself transversely. The level of the liquid 1t contains rises until it attains the pyloric orifice and the liquid flows out intermittently. This shows the reason of the dry regimen pre-

You know what my home life has been for the last few years, and how Grace has striven in my behalf. She asked me on the last morning that l saw her to come home. 1 said as 1 kissed her for the last time, Yes, dear, I'll come home tonight
 T had my son drive me out that very night, but l did not enter the house. My wife came out and ordered me away, and wanted to know what right I had on those grounds. l told my son to drive me back to the hotel. l could not stand 1t.
 Grace left home shortly after I was there. She had asked that I return and stay at home, and I had promised my child that I would. I was refused admittance, and I think that she was driven from home too. I have not the slightest doubt that when I had gone away she and her mother had some words. That woman is the cause of it all. Grace could not stand it any more than I could and went away.
 T can scarcely believe that she has done away with herself, but there are only two things to believe. either that she has gone away with some one or that she has taken her life. She has had to stand the strain for three years, and if I couldn't stand it how could she?
 Why were the police not notified be- fore and why was I kept in ignorance of it for four days?"

Then the rumor of the flight to Ire land was first bruited about. It was accepted as the only solution of the mystery, but prompt cable denial from John Stevenson himself set this story at rest, although some people do even yet say that there may be some thing in it after all and that the cabled denial may have been a deliberate de- ception. But it does not seem at all probable that this Is the case, in view of the serious illness of both the father and mother, which must have aroused the filial instincts of the heart and compelled her to allay their fears for her welfare.
 Letters and postals and telegrams still continue to pour in upon the po- lice and the members of the family from all parts of the country, offering to locate the missing girl for various considerations, while some of them ac- tually claim to have her where they can lay their hands upon her at any moment. But thousands of these have been run to earth only to disap- point the searchers.
 Many a sad and wearisome journey has Mrs. Stevenson made to view the remains of some unknown unfortunate answering some of the details of the description of her daughter. but she has all along maintained that she Is not dead, and that she will be restored to her some day, although she admits that she can name no logical reason for this belief.
 The celebrated mystery of the disap- pearance of Charley Ross pales into in- significance compared with that of Grace Stevenson, and the fate of the girl bids fair to go down in police an- nals as one of the very greatest and most fascinating cases on record.
 Thus the death of the father adds an other important chapter to the story.
 What will be the next?

the murder theory.
 If she was kidnapped for the pur- pose of a ransom she would have been restored long ago. as the parents would have gladly bought her back even though the price were her weight in gold.
 The insanity theory is secuted for the reason that there are no evidences of any weakness in her mind or traces of insanity in the family.
 It Is not believed that she left home because of the trouble between her father and mother, for the reason that had this been the case she would cer- ta1nly have been at her fathers side during his last moments, for she loved him dearly.
 Admitting all this however, there must be some solution to the myS- tery. What is it?
 A former schoolmate, who was in the same class with Miss Stevenson at the Brookllne High School, says that Grace had good voice and evinced some in clination for the operatic stage. Mrs Stevenson, on the other hand, says that Grace had no special musical ability to warrant any such leaning. She sang some, she says, but nothing out of the ordinary. She had private lessons on the piano, but not in voice culture. Her friends, too, think that she would have sent word home before this if she had gone on the stage in order to let her folks know that she was alive.
 It is said that Miss Stevenson was exceptionally proficient in the use Of the needle, and if necessary could turn her hand to professional dressmaking with good profit. The police think that she may have gone out to earn her own living in this manner.
 Her uncle, John Stevenson, wealthy manufacturer of linen underwear, is | located at Belfast, Ireland, and at one time it was firmly believed that she had fled to his protection in order to escape from the trouble of her own home It was understood that this was a plan conceived by her father in order to place his favorite daughter in a more congenial atmosphere. Itwas SUD- posed that this plan was made on the day of her disappearance when she called upon him at the hotel, and that In case of any such contingency aris- ing upon his visit to the family man. sion as did actually take place she was to wait no longer but fly to her uncle. James Stevenson, the father, ran away from home when he was twelve years old and at that time his brother John had not been born. James fought in the Crimean war and then came to America, without returning to Ireland. l Thus the two brothers never met until John came to this country two years ago. He visited his relatives here and they all became fast friends. He was particularly fond of Grace and has often since urged her to visit him and the invitation had been warmly sec- , onded by her father

scribed for weak stomachs, the liqu11s drunk remaining in the stomach Wln the solid foods and the weight imposed on the organ is diminished in propoc- tion as the liquids are avoided.
 According to the nature of the liqules the stomach disembarrasses itself or them more or less quickly, and the ob- servations made on this point by Drs. Bianchi and Comte. reported at the re- cent International Medical Congress at Moscow, teach us much regarding the liquids that can be recommended to dyspeptics.
 The accompanying figures show the effects of drinking water wine, seltzer water and tea. The first, A, shows the stomach empty; the second, B. shows it immediately after half liter of the liquid has been drunk, and the third, c, shows it two hours later.
 It will be observed that the seltzer water passes away most slowly, which the peculiar hump on the outline of the top, opposite the exit, explains; the gas in the seltzer water is freed and ex- bands the stomach, forming cushion against which the weight of the liquid has to be raised.
 Beer has much the same effect. Milk and chocolate pass away rapidly. Wine. too escapes rapidly, but this is in a measure due to the contraction of the stomach due to the irritation pro- duced by the alcohol.
 This rapid contraction explains the awakening of the appetite produced by bitters Liquors which give out gas. on the contrary, allay the bangs of hunger.
