four stone-deaf children were divided
by lot into two parts, and those of one
group were submitted every day to the
vibrations of a vowel siren," which
he has invented for this massage" of
the tympanum, or drum of the ear
At the end of six weeks all the sub
jects could hear sounds of musical III
struments for the first time, three
heard phrases spoken near the ear and
two heard conversation carried on over
a yard distant in the ordinary voice.
The siren also enables the hearing to
be measured with precision.

PULLING TIGERS TOOTH.
Courageous Dentist Braves the Beast
In Its Cage and Performs Hax-
ardOus Operation.

1t was noticed that Charlie Croker"
a captive tiger in New York, was mop
ing and irritable. His ili-temper, it
of brohen tooth. dentist, with
sufficient accident insurance policy,
was at last found who would run the
risk of taking it out. The tiger was
made harmless by being boun with
strong ropes, and then the dentist went
at his task, as set forth in the Boston
Evening News.
The tigers mouth was braced open
with piece of two by four scantling
and his lower jaw we'll saturated with
solution of cocaine and another pain
destroying drug. The dentist got mis-
forceps on the tusk, but they slipped.
He made two other attempts and each
time brought away a small piece of the
tusk. The tiger lay remarkably still.
He pulled on the ropes that held him,
but most of his strength was spent on
the piece of scantling between his
jaws.
The dentist said: ",'ll have to use
hammer on that tusk, the forceps
won't do"
He ,braced three-foot piece of a
plank against the tusk and struck the
other end of the plank twice. The
plank split at the end that rested
against the tusk. Then three-foot
iron bar was used. 1t took two blows
of the hammer on this bar to loosen
the tusk. The tusk broke and was
taken out piece by piece.
Proprietor Beck, the keeper and The
dentist left the cage. the ropes were
taken off the tiger and he jumped to
his feet. He shook himself and
growled few times to make sure he
was still abe to. He didn't seem to be
any the worse for his experience.
