You don't have to look farther
than the city of Paducah's light
plant, to find evidence against the
practical success of municipal own
ership. The light plant has been
run by the city for ten or more years.
and 1t has been a failure. 1t has cost
as much as a first class light plant,
and yet lights have been out all over
the city every night. and there have
been repeated break downs of the
plant. When every light Is shining
there are only l65 lights. about half
Of what Owensboro has. and not as
many by perhaps 100, as Henderson
and many other cities smaller than
Paducah have. II municipal owner
ship Is a success under methods in
vogue in most of the cities in Amer
lea, why isn't it a success in Padu-
cah? II the city of Paducah can sue
cessfnlly operate a utility of any
kind, why hasn't il successfully op-
Grated the light plant? Why should
anyone want to go anywhere else for
figures when every citizen of Padu-
cab of ordinary intelligence knows
what a fiasco the city light plant has
been? The municipal ownership idea
seems to be TO run thing irrespec-
tive of financial loss. quality, or

that cannot be indorsed by any good
business man any more consistently

This is, therefore. the first Quantita-

The real wonder and novelty of DIR.

the telharmonium does not. like the
photograph, reproduce music, but ac-
tually makes it and in an entirely new
way. What the operator plays on are
number OF little specially arranged dy-

keyboard, which is arranged like that

SHADOW OF LIFE SEEN
Professor Gates Discovery By
Means of Ultra Violet Rays.
NEW MODE OF DETECTING DRATp

Washington Scientist Says the STiad-
Ow vanishes When Life Ends. Ow-
tivity Way Found to Measure
Thought = Rays VIII Also Detect
the Approach of Disease.
Professor Elmer Gates, the scientist
of Washington. announced the othe!
night in New York city that he had
discovered ultra violet rays of light OF
certain wave lengths which seemed te
go far toward solving some OF the
fundamental mysteries of life. death
disease and thought transference. says
the New York World.
Living subjects placed in these
strange rays throw n shadow which eX.
lists only as long as there is life in the
subject. When the subject dies it sud
denly becomes transparent, and the
shadow vanishes.
The new rays afford, Professor
Gates said, probably the first and only
accurate method of determining if q
person is actually dead. By these rays
the innermost processes of human
thought are revealed. BY simply turn
ing the rays on IL person scientist cal
measure his thoughts. can tell If Il per
son is more sorry today than he was
yesterday or If he is thinking harder al
the time of examination than he was
half an hour before The wonderful
rays placed upon two persons sitting
side by side will reveal which has
more mentality than the other.
The rays will also detect the ap
proach of disease long before it could
be discovered by physicians or sur
geons and SO afford a quick and Ger
tain method of finding out if there Is
the slightest trace of disease any
where in the depths of the body merely
by the degree of transparency to the
rays.
Il was experimenting said Pro
feSsor Gates, with invisible light and
electric waves when l found that GER
tain wave lengths of ultra violet light
and certain freQuencieS of electric un-
dulations would pass through dead
animal body more completely than
through ,the living body. Here, then,
is a new test of death and also new
means of diagnosis, revealing diseased
and partly dead structures in the living
organization"
One of his assistants suggested the
transparency of the dead organization
and the vanishing of the shadow might
be due to the passing away of the soul
This conclusion. said Professor

Moscow, Aug 31.-The Viedomosti, the leader of the reactionary press of Russia, created sensation to-day by printing correspondence exchang- ed between M. Usefovich, who holds the rank of state councillor and who Is president of the monarchial party of Kiev, and Dr von Miguel, the Ger man charge d'affaires at St Peters burg. From the letters printed 1t appears that upon the publication of the recent report that Emperor Will liam had invited Count Witte to Will helmshohe. M. Usefovich, in the name of "all the factions of the Rus sian monarchical party" telegraphed to the German emperor expressing deep regret that "such a splendid monarch and head of the friendly German people," should receive "a man whom the whole Russian people regarded as being the guilty author of the miseries into which the coun- try was plunged and the provoker of the terrorism inspired by hostility to the Jews, to whom he is friendly"
 Several days later M. Usefovich, according to the Viedomost!, received through Dr von Miguel, letter say ing he had been directed by the for eign secretary to say that the tele- gram to the German emperor was based on misapprehension as Emper- or William had not received Count Witte and had no intention of re- ceiving him.
