Records Put to Queer Uses.

Except when phonograph is
turning out some such pathetic melo-
dy as "A Message from Home, Sweet
Home" one rarely thinks of that in
strument in connection with real SEN
timent, and yet it has a use of this
kind that is growing rapidly all over
the world. 1T has become a common
thing" remarked a man in the busi-
ness, for elderly persons to come in
| to my store, have records made, and
take these records off with them to
their safe deposit box to be given to
thetic to hear a man of middle age
speaking into phonograph the
speech he wishes his children to re-
member him by. Sometimes he has
the speech prepared in writing; again
he may have simply few notes from
which he elaborates his little address
AS rule these remarks are brief
moral lectures and are usually beau
tiful since they are SO simple and so
sincere
Fathers Of families are not the only
ones who put the talking machine to
such sentimental usage nowadays. 1t
is not an uncommon thing to have
a mother accompanied by a child go
into a shop where such things are
sold to have a record made of. some
childish speech that will be sent to
the little ones father who is long
distance from his family. Only the
other day the newspapers printed the
story of a woman in Denver who is
dying Of a lingering illness talking
into phonograph every day that her
husband might have a record of her
voice after death came to her. Now
and again one hears of sweethearts
using the talking machine for the
same puTpose-a case in point being
that of an elderly bachelor in this city
who begged the woman he was in love
with, but who would not marry him,
| to talk into his phonograph that he
might always be able to hear the
sound of her voice. The capabilities

ed in this particular instance, since
the woman spoke for the record in
! French.
That the use of the talking ma
chine in this particular manner is
growing rapidly is shown by the in
crease in the sales of blank records,
and also of the numbers Of persons
who go into the shops where the ma
| chimes are sold TO not only nave
speeches recorded, but also to have
messages reproduced. There is never
any charge made for this work be-
yond the original cost of the blank as
being good advertisement for the
machines themselves.
That the photograph is recognized
as an instrument Of some scientifc
value is fully demonstrated by the
action taken in recent years by direc-
tors Of the Smithsonian Institute at
Washington, of Harvard University
OF Yale, and one of the universities
at Vienna. At the Smithsonian they

What the immigration Bill Contains.
The imperative necessity of solving
the San FTancisco-Japanese problem.
according to Washington dispatches,
| is directly responsible for the agree
ment on the immigration bill that the
conferees or the two houses Of Con-
gress have now reached. AS late as
last week It was thought by the best
observers that the differences between
the Senate and the House over the
educational test and other features
of the long pending bill would fail of
adjustment and prevent the adoption
by this Congress of any immigration
restriction legislation whatever.
Both sets of confeTees have made
concessions. On behalf of the Senate
the educational test-a very mild one
was abandoned, while the House
conferees dropped the provision relat-
ing to immigrants who claim to be
the victims of religious or political
persecution and eXempting them rom
the liability to deportation on account
a livelihood. Several minor changes
were made by the conference, in
Guiding the fixing of the head tax at
$4-the present tax being 81.
1t becomes important to ask what
the bill as it now stands, apart from
the new Japanese" feature, adds to
the existing law and in what respects
it will. if passed, operate further to
restrict immigration.
In the first place, the bill will add
TO the excluded classes "imbeciles,
feeble-minded persons and epileptics. 4"
The existing law excludes idiots
only. 1t will also exclude persons so
defective physically or mentally as
to be unable to earn living. The
section in regard to assisted immi
grafton" in the present law is
strengthened and amplified. though
there is nothing illiberaI in any of
the amendments proposed. Fines are
imposed on steamship companies for
bringing in immigrants of certain Of
the excluded classes, provided their
condition might have been ascer-
tanned by competent medical examin-
alton at the ports Of embaTkation.
Finally, there is a provision extending
the time within which those liable
to become public charges may be de-
ported from two to three years.
These restrictions are obviously
anything but radical, but the original
intention, even of the stricter Senate
bill, was only to remedy some defects
in the generally satisfactory immi-
grafton act of 1908.
AS to the Japanese" section, it is
to be construed in the light of the
fact that the Toxic government issues
few, if any, passports to emigrants
bound for the continental" parts of
the United States. It's whole purpose
is to enable the President to prevent
japanese landing in Hawaii. or in
Mexico or other foreign territory,
from proceeding to the United States.
1t is, of course, certain that Shif
section has received very careful con-
sideration at the hands of both gov
ernments concerned.

A new excuse for drunkenness has
developed. in Judge Whelan's court at
Cleveland, A man brought before the
judge charged with being "soused'
made the novel plea that he and his
brother were simultaneous patients
in a Philadelphia hospital, both suf-
fering from stomach trouble. Both
stomachs were distracted. cleaned,
dried and replaced, but unfortunately
were shifted The Cleveland suspect
had previously been temperate, de-
cent man while his brother was ad-
dicted to profanity and red liquor.
The change of stomachs caused cor
responding shifting of habits and NOR
ais. The man was released upon ex-
pressing determination to search for
his brother and replevin his rightful
stomach. Thus do some things be-
sides environment and heredity affect
the conduct of erring mortals.
