"Some doctors have a most extraor-
binary Gift of diagnosis" remarked a
clergyman of New Orleans, apropos of
nothing in particular. "A very start

years ago and made an indelibe i'm

received from an acquaintance in Chi

we were mutually interested. After
studying the handwriting closely for
a few moments the doctor surprised
me greatly by saying: That man has

laugh. YOU'RE greatly Mistaken |

noted athlete, and one of the bright

later on to learn that my Chicago
friend had suddenly broken down and
he was regarded as a complete wreck
He did have latent locomotor ataXia

developed in its most appalling form
In years time he was reduced to a
condition of almost complete idiocy

life was abruptly terminated by an ac-

there was a good deal of guesswOrk

The RadiOphone.

A new electrical invention called the
radiophone was introduced to the pub
tic at Madison Square Garden recently.
This device bears the same relation
to the telephone that wireless telegra-
ply does to the old system. In the rad
iophone wires are dispensed with and
in their place shafts of light are used.
In the second balcony at one end Of
the long hall was suspended an arc
light, backed with o powerful reflector
A telephone transmitter designed to
carry a strong current was connected
in short circuit about the arc. BY this
arrangement currept was secured from
the arc in proportion to the Resistance
of the diaphragm of the transnitter.
The variations produced in the cur
rent Of the arc lamp produced cores
pondng changes in the heat rays emit
ted, and these changes affected the
glass bulb of the receiver and ear
tubes These vibrations were commu-
nicated to the receiver and the sound
reached the ear as in the ordinary tele-
phone.

Philippine Music.

PHILIPPINE music ia becoming popular.
Returning voyagers to the far distant
islands have introduced it here. Like
the Hawaiian, it is distinctive and
characteristic Of the rational life Of
the people, though without doubt an
adaptation of the sweet and melan-
choly music of the Spanards. Flute.
violin and harp are the favorite instru-
mcnts. as in the Italian, but it is not
like the animated music of Italy. The
livelest strains of the Filipinos are
pathetic and melancholy in tone So,
too. are the titles of many OF their
musical compositions. RS. for instance.
LOS Dias Ultimas del Verano." ('"The
Last Days of Summer, "'rhe Wall of
Il Lost Soul" "The Approach of Aut-
umn.'
The harp twangs softly the violin
bow is gently drawn, while above all
floats the wall of the flute, which rises
and falls in melancholy cadences. This
music speaks as eloquently to the for
eigner as to the native "The Approach
Of Autumn" Is so plaintive and sad
that you can almost hear the rustic OF
the forest leaves. or the signing of
autumn zephyrs through the pine trees.

4 valuable and peculiar product, es-
pecially in the color industry, is capa-
bic of being produced from the SCOT of
the acetylene flames. When such gas
is burned with "A smoking flame the re-
suit is the production of three or four
times as great a quantity Of SCOT as in
the case with mineral oils. Moreover,
It is very light in weight and exhibits
an absolutely black color without
tinge of brown, and has none of the
larry admiXtures or other substances
that characteristically appear in lamp
black. The substance is likewise noted
for being very bulky. and is found to
be admirably adapted in India ink and

Cooking to be of real worth must be
something more than pleasing to the eye

all the different elements that perfect

correct domestic science. She Is the best
housekeeper and cook who provides to
a certainty such dishes that in their
combination shall supply the materials
for bone building, for the muscles, the
teeth, nerve tissue, brain and all else that
goes to form the human body. 1t Is to

AT eNentide, to me sometimes seems
That, ere the morrow's sun shall riss

-PEchance, It's but a fancy born OF
dreams
Ny newborn soul beyond the skies
shall scarf
And, the imprisoned spirit is

The life beyond shall seek, and moi
In vain.
And Night, dark Night, shall come to

And end the closing of the setting

When Death, the grim gray messenger,

To join the throng of those who
