Clyde Friz an I INVENTOR.

The Baltimore News has the follow
ing: "A novel and ingenious inven-
ton and one which will doubtless
arouse interest among pianists, ac.
companists and orchestral players, AS
it fills long and much felt want, is
now in course Of construction. The
inventor Is Mr.. G. n. Friz Of Balii-
more and the invention which is an
attachment that can be applied to
any piano or music rest, is a machine
for turning over the leaves Of a piece
Of music automatically. The chief
advantages appear to be that the
leaves are quickly turned by the mere
touching Of a button operated either
by the finger or the foot Of the per-
former. 1t is suitable for either
bound or sheet music. 1t has often
been a source Of much discomfort, es.
pecially for an accompanist, to be
compelled to turn the music at the
right moment, when often the hands
are busily occupied in playing" Mr..
friz is now in Baltimore pushing his
invention.

BOUGHT THE OPERA HOUSE.
DR., A, B. Seelye Will Use Part Of the
Building for a Laboratory.

On last Friday DR.. A. b. Seelye
purchased the opera house block and
will use the east end for his medicine
laboratory. The price paid is not
made public. The building cost
about $3S, 600 but has been a losing
investment for years and the owners,
eastern mortgages, have been trying
hard TO sell it Tor fifth OF that sum.
Mr., Seelye purchased it rather than
erect new building at his place on
North Buckeye.
As to the disposition Of the opera
house DIR. Seelye said to the REFLECT
OK this afternoon: plans are not
complete yet for the opera house but
you can say that it will be improved
in some way and made better than it
now is" 1t is to be hoped that he
will lower the stage to the first floor
and give the city the house it de-
serves.

RIGHTS OF MORTGAGES.
Court Throws One Case 0ut-Jurors
Dismissed.
IFrom Fridays Daily.]

lFrom Fridays Daily
District court today continued the
work on the civil docket.
The case Of J, ", Gillett VS., Jacob
Young Of Woodbine was decided for
the defendant. Young had signed a
note for 1915 while Kirby's bank was
in operation but testified that he
could not read and was told that it
was a bill of sale or receipt. When
it turned up as note he refused to
pay it. The jury upheld him and
gave its decision in his favor.
An interesting case over the rights
Of mortgages came up next being
that OF R. X. Campbell Il Co. VS.. l., }.
Hilty Of Enterprise. Hilty was sued
by Campbell for balance Of about
$1,000 on a promissory note but re-
fused to pay it, claiming that the
plaintiff owed him more than that
sum. The note had been secured by
mortgage on cattle belonging to
Hilty in this county. The mortgagee
came and took the cattle under the
mortgage, shipped them to Kansas
City and sold them in the stockyards'
Hilty claimed that the cattle did not
bring as much as they should, that
the mortgagee had no right to take
them from the county and sell them
and that he was entitled TO $1,000
balance which would more than
nav the note. The plaintiff
demurred to defendants testi-
mony and the court sustained
the demurrer, throwing tne case o".'
on the ground that under the terms
Of the mortgage the mortgagee had
right to take possession OF the stock
and to sell the property at private
sale either here or at Kansas City and
having sold it under the terms OF the
contract the mortgage would not be
liable for more than the amount the
cattle actually brought.
The case OF Stewart vs.. Stewart IN
which father and son have been
"lawing", both being over % years
old, was settled out Of court.
Graham VS.. c. Hoffman 4 Son was
on trial.

Twentieth Annual Meeting Held Las
Night-Lecture by Professor Bolt
wood.
Professor Bertram B. Boltwood, Phi
D., of Yale university, lectured on LII
quid Air in Music hall last evening
The lecture was intensely interesting,
although the experiments conducted
were the same as those made by Pro-
fessor Bradley in a recent lecture in the
Hyperion.
An important part of Professor Bolt
woods address was his declaration that
the uses of ''liquid air" to-day are ab-
solutely problematical; that it's only
practical value at present is that oxygen
can be obtained from it. AS motive
power, he said at present it cannot be-
gin to be compared with coal, Its cost
and it's actual power being against It's
use. One cubic foot of coal, compared
with one cubic foot of liquid air, stands
in the relation Of 270 to 6, the 270 repre-
eenting the COAL Added to this its
evaporative qualities would make its
transportation very costly. For refr1g-
Grating purposes, he said, it is likewise
impracticable, and it is not likely that
it will supercede ice. Liquid air placed
in an ice box would be likely to attain
such a low temperature as to freeze the
contents of the box solid.
Professor Boltwood prefaced his lee
ture by few remarks on the manufac-
ture and transportation of liquid air,
illustrated by stereopticon views.
Among these were photographs of the
factory, diagrams of the machinery
used and diagram of the receptacle
used on the stage. The latter showed
two shells of metal with non-conduct-
ing layer between them, formed of felt.
A small tube was seen in the top Of
the inner shell, through which the evap-
GRATED liquid air might escape. Near
this was a valve so adjusted as to open
at a pressure Of six pounds to the
square inch. Professor Boltwood said
that this prevented any danger In the
transportation Of the element.
Proceeding with his lecture Professor
Boltwood conducted a number of inter-
esting experiments, such as freezing
eggs by immersing them, and steaks,
potatoes, rubber balls, roses and other
substances in like manner. All became
exceedingly hard and brittle, breaking
easily under pressure. Mercury was
frozen at a temperature of 40 degrees,
and the lecturer used it to drive a nail
on the platform.
The lecture was delivered under the
auspices of the Hillhouse Alumni asso-
citation, which held it's annual meeting
just preceding the lecture. The follow
ing officers We're elected for next year:
President, George J. Bassett SO; vice
presidents, William X. Shepard, Miss
Anna c. Hening; secretary, DR.. Will

a Very Important Question for Grow

The little girls in Providence, r. l.,

erly fed When her parents discov-
cred the value Of Grape-Nuts food she
quickly recovered. Her fathers let
ter is as follows:
''Without any desire whatever for
publicity-in fact, with every desire to
avoid til yet would like you to know
of the following in reference to Grape
Nuts
my daughter is in the Providence
High School, English department, and
working very hard, her studies telling
on her severely, partly because of a
serious illness she had some two or
three years since. She has been ac-
customed to take meat luncheons with
her, and to obtain a cup of hot drink
often of milk, at the school building
She came home quite hungry, howev-
err, on most occasions and somewhat
exhausted.
Three months ago she began to car
ry Grape-Nuts instead of her meat
sandwiches and now will not forego
them. She says she can stand the
after study on them better and has no
sense of exhaustion on reaching home,
although always able to enjoy her
meal, as her appetite is good.

ny in favor of Grape-Nuts and if you
can use it without publishing our
names we shall be pleased to have you
DO it, and will further say that we

STRIKE AVERTED IN BRIDGE
PORT.

Bridgeport, Conn, April 20.-It be
came apparent to-day that the expect
ed strike of the building trades, which
was announced to take place May | ir
the event of the refusal of the master
builders to grant an eight-hour day
will be averted by the yielding of the
masters, who last night gave their
conference committee full power to eff
feet a settlement of the difficulty.
The men rejected a proposition made
by the masters of wage rate of 50. "a
for a nine hour day. and adhered to
their demand for $3.50, the present rate
for nine hours, for eight hours work.
The masters say that there viii be no
idling if they are forced to adopt the
eight hour system, and that they will
get nearly as much work from the men
as they now do in nine hours. The men
laugh at this,
