Telephone MaEnffer.

Although not yet perfected, the Ma
jorama telephone bids fair vastly to
extend the field Of usefulness of the
long distance telephone by rendering
audible vibrations too faint to actuate
the disk of the ordinary receiver or
even the microphone instruments.
In this device the electrical current
regulates the flow Of sulphuric acid
through capillary tube, which acidu-
lates water to a greater or less degree,
according to the volume of the fiow
The calculated water increases or re-
tards the transmission of the current
in proportion to the amount Of acid in
the water, and this current passes to
wire which transmits the flow to the
customary receiver in an intensified de-
gree.
The principal experimental stations
have been established between Paris
and Rome, but in a recent test speak
er in Berlin was heard perfectly in
London, the message going by way of
Paris.

THE ORTHODONTIST.
Wonders Performed by the Modern
"Beauty Doctor"

Wonders Performed by the MOderE
"Beauty Doctor"
In the very room where for many
years Oliver Wendell Holmes slectured
to students of the Harvard Medical
school are now being trained the real
beauty DOCTORS" or, to give them their
scientific name, the orthodontists, the
men who literally change your face.
Theirs is no frivolous work, for they
are the specialists in dentistry who by
Strengthening crooked teeth, repairing
broken jaws and otherwise improving
their patients features not only per-
form many wonderful surgical feats,
but in some cases restore or increase a
patients opportunity to earn an honest
living.
All sorts and conditions of humanity
attend the free clinics in OrthodOntia
at the Haryard Dental school in Bos-
first established. The majority of the
patients are people whose misplaced
jaws or distorted teeth have caused
them more or less suffering. chiefly
through inability to chew their food,
but some Of them have experienced
hardships in getting a livelihood be-
cause their deformities Of mouth or
teeth prevented their securing the sort
of positions their talents naturally fit
ted them to fill. The orthodontist
makes over these abnormal faces by
means of apparatus that slowly forces
projecting teeth into vertical position
or a misplaced Jaw into natural rela-
ton with tie other jaw.
Fractured jaws are now mended by
the dentist, not by the surgeon. This
is a great boon to the sufferers, for the
surgeon works from the outside through
the cheek, while the dentist works from
the inside of the mouth. On the aver
age the Harvard clinic in orthodOntia
has one case Of fractured jaw every
day, which goes to show that this par
ticularly uncomfortable kind of acct
dent is more numerous than is COM
monty supposed.
The orthodontist does not call him
self "beauty DOCTOR" Of course; but,
properly speaking, he is one, for by
making teeth straight and jaws regu-
lar he brings about the betterment Of
the patients whole physical condition
as we'll as mere Improvement Of facial
expression.

him and does not kill him physically,
he Jumps up and claims that It never

imagine either one of them, after his
exposure in such relations, striding

TAXATION OF RAILROAD PROP
ERTY.

lawson Purdy, secretary of the
New York Tax Reform association
has proposed a new method of taxing
railroad property. Mr. Purdy's prop
ositiOn is to adopt plan similar to
the United States internal revenue
law of 1854 and impose a tax on all
dividends and interest. 1t is not pro-
posed to tax dividends and interest
direct. as that would not be lawful.
but interest and dividends may be
taken simply as the measure Of the
tax upon the corporate property with
in the state. For illustration, a COM
pilation has been made from data
contained in the report Of the New
York railroad commission, from which
it appears that the total taxes of all
kinds paid in all states by the steam
surface railroads reporting to the
railroad commission in the state of
New York amount to slightly less
than Is per cent of the total disburse-
ments of these roads on account Of in
terest and dividends. Mr.. Purdy
would tax all real estate not used in
the operation of public service as
other local property is taxed. Then
upon the basis Of interest and divi-
dends ne would assess a tax upon the
property of the public service cor
poration as a unit. When the prop
erty lies in more than one state, the
tax would be apportioned on the mile
age basis now in common use. The
tax levied within the state he would
distribute to the tax districts in which
the corporation carries on its public
service in proportion to the length
Of its tracks including branches, sid
ings and switches within those dis
tricti
rather than the gross earnings sys-
tenn largely employed because he
thinks the latter has a fatal defect in
that cit is not in proportion to the
real earning capacity. 1t takes no ac-
count of cost nor does it pay any re-
caro- to the expenses which may be
necessary and just. OF two
corporations which have equally large
gross receipts, one may be in nat
urally disadvantageous position which
increases unduly the cost of opera
ton or management. Clearly its
ability to pay is less than that of the
rival company in possession Of natur
al advantages
Mr.. Purdy argues in favor of his
plan that the corporation knows ex-
actly what tax it will be obliged to
pay 1t will have no interest in the
personnel of the board that does the
assessing because no dispute can
arise as to the amount of the tax
Substantially the same can be said of
the gross earnings tax. There is this
to be said of the Purdy plan. however
that it levies its heaviest assess
ment on the most prosperous corpora
lions. or rather. it levies it's heaviest
assessment when the corporation is
most prosperous.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS:
VOTE FOR FREE TEX BOOKS

Every man registered with the city
clerk this year and every man and
woman registered with the school
clerk should go to the polls tomorrow
afternoon and cast his or her vote for
free text books. The strongest ar
gument in favor of free text books is
that wherever the plan has been
tried it has become a permanent feat
ure of the public school system. No
school district that has ever expert
enced the advantages of public own
ership of school books has had any
desire to return to the old costly, cum
bersome and wasteful system Of in
dividual ownership.
The book trust has everywhere
fought the advancement Of the free
text book system for the reason that
it means a reduction of at least one
third in the number of books pur-
chased and a reduction of one-half in
the cost of the books. Quite naturally,
therefore, the American book trust is
using all it's influence to prevent the
adoption of free text books wherever
it can bring any influence to bear
upon voters or school boards.
All the arguments in favor of free
text books have been ably presented
by Captain P. B. Johnson in a series
of articles published within the last
few weeks. These arguments are
nnanswerable. In this mornings is
sue of the Union, Professor A. S.
Jones, superintendent Of the city
schools, has an article that is mani
testify in opposition to free text books,
although the author disclaims any
purpose ito influence anyone in this
city either for Or against free text
books The people of this city have
great respect for Superintendent Jones
and much confidence in his honesty
and sincerity, but it should be borne in
mind that he has no children of his
own and his arguments and his figures
are based upon theory rather than
upon experience. For example, when
he says that the cost of school books
for five children of the average fam
lily for eight years is only $31.35, ne is
wide of the mark. The parent who
has bought books knows that the
year course cost much more than
S31.95 under the present wasteful
system. Besides there is a heavy ex-
pense for pencils, tablets, water col
ors, music books, supplementary books
and other articles required bv the
course of study or to, satisfy the fads
of individual teachers.
To compel the average laboring man
earning $3.50 a day, to purchase books
and incidentals for half a dozen chill
dren under the present outrageous
system means to take bread and but.
