AGLIMPSE OF

(Copyright, 1905. BY Joseph b. BowIss.>


Ono fine afternoon in early October
I happened to espy my Cousin Maurice
strolling quietly towards the bay
Now. Maurice Fletcher has an elder
sister, and, thinking Of her at that mo-
ment. felt strong presentiment that
she would have me walk across the
road and ask the young fellow to din
ner with me. I accordingly did so,
though I find his loquacity particular
ly distasteful. and his sticking power

greeted him warmly, but had no
chance of uttering another syllable un-
til we were sitting at dinner. In the
meantime l had gathered from his
talk delivered with incredible rapid
ity and jerkiness) that he was spend
ing 4 few weeks in New York before
returning to college.
''And how is my Uncle John?" l put
In quickly, as he paused momentarlly
for treath.
"Oh, father!" answered Maurice,
with renewed animation. "Wonder1ul
for his age, isn't he? BY the way, he's
coming to town."
His news that John Fletcher was
meditating a descent On the metropolis
was electrifying. The position was
this: Uncle John is widower,
with no kith or kin to speak OF, be-
yond Maurice, Muriel and myself, and
he has allowed me to infer l have
what is known as "expectations."
Throughout dinner Maurice talked
incessantly.
"I've always heard you're q regular
Bohemian" he began, loud enough for
everyone to hear. Know all sorts OF

 has conducted his later experiments

 MT. Amet is not only an inventor
 but is mechanical and electrical en- gineer. Some of his many inventions have become notable throughout the country and are in constant use by thousands both for business and pleas ure. He is responsible for some of the improvements to talking machines and photographs that are now utilized by all manufacturers of these machines. He also perfected the moving picture machine and is the inventor of many different kinds of slot machines. The most expensive and best one he made was the machine that, when the coin is dropped in the slot tells the weight or the man on the platform. also the fortune, and at the same time plays q piece of music. Most of the other slot machines he has perfected have been or cheaper sort somewhat in imita- ton of this large machine Perhaps his best known invention among men of large business affairs is that of g, railroad scale. whereby it Is possible to weigh a train of cars travelling at the rate of six miles an hour. more accurately than the same cars could be weighed by an old-fashioned and much slower device. In a test of this scale before the officials of a large railroad in the Dominion of Canada his machine did not vary nine pounds to the car from the weight returned bv 2 nat balancing of each car separately. detached from the train. The railroad immediately adopted the scale and the Dominion government shortly made 1t one of the standard weighing devices of the country
 MT Amet also made the only moving pictures that were ever shown of the destruction of Cervera's fleet in Santi- ago bay using in this over 3O,OOO feet of negative film. How he got the pic ture is another story The complete sets of these pictures were sent to Madrid to be used, it was claimed. in the eourtmartial of Cervera. All he

He has merely applied his other knowledge to the production of sweet sound me chanically. The ethelo is a stringed instrument. played exactly as a violin is played, and any violin player can play on ethelo at sight. But the etheIo must be learned the same as the violin The difference in the appearance of the instruments is in the shape and construction of the ethelo IL does not look like a violin save that it has the strings and is played with a bow But the real difference in the instruments is in the transmission of the tones of the strings, those in the ethelo bein-, fuller and sweeter. a better vibration There can be no freaks in the manu- facture of the ethelo. Every instru- ment built true to measure and of sim liar material is bound to give the same result, while in the violin two instru- ments may look exactly alike. but there IS difference in the vibrations of the tones. due either to some slight differ ence in the construction. or material Or some other technical thing whici, sometimes cannot be accounted for at all
