HEARS TICKING
OF A WATCH.
Miss Rockefeller's Wonderful
Restoration to Hearing.
DIR. Isador Muller Tells How It
Was Done.
TWO NEW METHODS.
TWO NEW METHODS.
All Old Plans Had Been Tried
and Had Failed.
Built New Ears For Her Made
of Gold.

New York, Dec. ga dispatch to the
World from Vienna, says:
The first details of the treatment of
Miss Alta Rockefeller daughter of John
D. Rockefeller, the American multi-mii-
lionaire. for deafness by DR.. Isador Mu1-
her have been made public. In lecture
before the society Of physicians DR.. Null
Ter said:
when Miss Rockefeller's case was
brought to my attention it was so grave
that all known methods had been tried
unavailingly. was forced to invent
new methods, which have fortunately
succeeded These were two in number
THE first was to introduce small
golc plate into the ear, fashioned into
the required shape. This was placed be-
tween the ear drum and the chain of
small bones which transmit the vibra-
tons to the internal ear. This improved
the patients hearing so much that she
could hear the ticking of a watch, some
thing she had not heard for years.
THE second new method was to re-
place the destroyed portions of the
tympanum or ear drum by nyringc-
plastic means. Here again I inserted
small gold plates. This was tried only
after every known method had been
used in vain.
Two months ago the patient came to
Vienna for the continuation of her treat
ment which have now carried to an
unexpected point of success

F. o. B. GRAIN CONTRACTS.
New York Exporters Object to Rules
Formulated at ST. Louis.

New York, Dec 22-Adr. A. c. AMMAN.
chairman of the committee of New York
exporters on the produce exchange ap-
pointed to request a modification of the
f. o. b. grain contract adopted by the
American Exporters association of ST
Louis has prepared a. statement setting
out the objections of the New York ex-
porters-
This statement has been forwarded to
St. Louis and will be considered at d
special meeting of the American Elk
porters' association to be held, it is said,
next month. The committee requests a
modification of the clause IS per cent
more or less as per London contract on
the ground that it is too indefinite and
does not state whether the greater or
less quantity is at sellers option or at
buyers option The committee therefore
asks that the clause read IS per cent
more or less at buyers option, as per
London contract"
The trade strenuously object to the
following clause:
Buyers to give three days notice Of
vessels eadiness to load" 1t is point
through steamers not operating in the
regular line the enforcement of this pro-
vision is sure to result from time to
time in the heavy loss to the buyer of
the f. o. b. grain. 1t is equally imprac-
ticable for the buyer to predict how long
a passage a ship may make in bad
weather, or how favorable a passage in
good weather.
On the other hand vessels frequently
make voyages which are unexpectedly
rapid, arriving two or three days ahead
of their expected due dates and in such
case the buyer of f. o. b. grain would in
cur demurrange through not having Civ
en- his notice in time. It is further point
ed out that many of these f. O. b. con-
tracts are entered into on a more or less
speculative basis, with the idea of TAX
ing advantage of spot room that may
be offered the requirement for three
days notice destroys this opportunity for
the buyers.
The item of exchange is objected to on
the ground that sellers can much more
readily reckon upon this than buyers
and include same in the price. 1t is re-
queSted that this clause should be elm
mated from your contract
In regard to the clause with docu-
ments attached as customary. for the
correctness of which the sellers shall not
be held. responsible" the New York ex-
porters say that if the sellers consent to
make out the documents on buyers in
structions that they should be account
able for following these Instructions
Furthermore, the inspection certificates
are a part of the documents and an es-
sential portion of the vouchers submit
ted in fulfllment of an f. o. b. contract.
Therefore, sellers should be responsible
for the correctness of the inspection GER
tifcates.

What is the social philosophy underly

the residents asked him, half humorously,
on the last day of 1899. Mr.. Schulzhein did
not receive the query in quite the spirit she
had expected.

During all that day, and during nearly AL

returned to the house to brood over her,

suddenly he halted, with his heart beating
