A WORD ABOUT
GOLD-MOULDED
RECORDS X ~

Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records
were the first moulded records on the
marknt by about year.
They always have been Gold-mould-
ed. y gold mould is the only cconomi-
cal and efficient mould known to the
art.
Moulded records are superior to the
old engraved records because they
may be made of harder material.
Hard records last longer and have a
better quality of tone.
y gol l-muulGcd record made of soft
material would be no better in quality
than al engraved record in soft ma
terial.
The best moulded records are not
only Gold-moulded. They are super
harder ed.
Gold moulded records are less ex-
pcnsiv, than engraved records. The
process is simpler.
Formerly, blank cylinders were
moulded, then shaved. then engraved
from an original. The originals soon
wore out under the reproducing
stylus.
Now, n goId-Iined mould is made
that mould is Il smoothly finished CYL
nder. with the sound record already
on il. The life of the original is in
creased 10 times, a hundred times,
Il thousand times.
4 record is not more expensive be
cause it is gold-moulded.
1t is less expensive.
Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records
are new records, made by new pro-
cess. They are not only gold-moulded
They are super-hardened.
Irrespective of price, they are SUI
perior in quality to any other gold
moulded record on the market, and
they sell for only % cents.
We have just received a large ship
ment of these improved records, max
ing our stock very complete one.

This Is terrible weed TO eradicate

stems called root stocks, says Ameri-

the reach Of the moving machine OF
OF grazing animals and often too deep
to be disturbed by surface cultivation.
They produce buds at their numerous
scaly nodes, and these buds develop
In new plants in exactly the same man

Behind the Human Eyes.

The difficulties opticians have expert
enced In arriving at an accurate dag
nosls Of the complaints from which
their patients arc suffering have led to
experiments In photographing the eye
For this purpose IN instrument has
recently been invented, affecting OPP
tical science in general, and the fur
ther development Of the eye specialists
profession In treating eye diseases and
faulty vision In particular.
The fact that all attempts to photo
graph the interior or the background
Of the eye had remainod frultless so
far was due to the pecu ar constrE-
ton OF the eye. It is difficult to light
up the interior to such an extent as
to enable one to take a photograph
Of It, and even the use Of strong
sources Of light in the exposure would
require 80 much time that thc eye
would have to be fixed, which would
mean great Inconvenience to the pa
tlent. Now DR.. Thorner has construct
ed an apparatus with which he first

CHOICE MISCELLANY


During the recent mnncuverS be-
tween the submarine Gottlla and the
battleShlp sQuadrons OF the British
navy some ingenious ruses were adopt
ed by the former to miSlead the latter
One OF the most successful was the
building of an exact replica OF the
coming tower and Il short length Of
the top Of the submarine OF canvas
material. This was painted the same
color as the submarine and was at
tachcd to the top OF the craft. The
submarine then Travelled toward one
or the hostile vessels, and when with
IN range, and as conspicuously as posi-
Bile, the canvas structure was released.
1t Immediately fioated to the surface
or the water. Directly the submarine
had discarded the mock structure 1t
sunk again and, completely altering it's
course, approached the vessel from
another quarter.
This canvas affair, being conspicu-
GUS, Immediately attracted the war
ships attention, and n severe fire WAS
directed upon it. While this firing was
In progress the submarine arose again
to the surface on the opposite side OF
the Narship and succeeded in launch
Ing torpedo unobservcd and at close
range. The ruse wns therefore COM
Dletely successful.
